' WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1911. GOOD ROAD BOGIES. There are some peP'e who are never happy unless they are seeing bogies. They imagine the direst re mits from the simplest causes. Thia Is especially true about new and intried things like good roads. Unless we are misinformed, none jf the five good roads bills before ihe legislature takes the making and control of roads from the coun ty courts. Automobile speedways will not be built unless the coun 'y court orders the same. In fact ihere will be no change, from; now un less .the county court takes the in itiative. These bills simply provide ways and plans by which a comity i may build permanent roads If It wants to do so. , Bonds, roadmaklmg machinery, auto mobile speedways and all the other SEE! Reduced 20 per cent hnU1intr rmrtncifA ftvnf rvf t i4.t Proprietor bogles are products of .the Imagina tion. The people of each county will continue to be 1)036 of the. roads en their county. True, one bill provides for a state highway commissioner but hi work will be mainly advisory. If he is a .-scientific roadanaker he ,will be a good investment. Except running a newspaper, there Is no business or trade that, so many people think' they know all about as roadmaklmg, and really know so tittle. ' " " FREE LIBRARY. Enterprise city council has set lslde for the public library one-half nill of the levy for city purposes. This is a generous- provlsdom for the ?irst year and the money wisely ex pended will give the library a good tart. It will be a useful Institution 'rom the beginning. The library under the fostering are of the ladies of the; Improvement ia.sociatlon, has already a large num ber of books, especially of the popu ar kind fiction and the reference olumes that come from the state a-111 be of aid to students. It la now kept open two afternoons, each week, but after the tax money be comes available it la the Intention o add a reading room with maga zines, papers, etc., and keep it and fhe library open every afternoon ind evening. Of course a board should be ap pointed to watch over the needs of he library, its administration and nanagement, and If we are pardoned he advice, we would suggest the oard be composed of onej member of he council and a library committee 'rom the Ladles- Improvement assocl ition. Experience proves that in educa--lonal matters and la all matters that certain, to the moral or mental up 'ift of a community, -women are more iffective workers than men. "GOOD PEOPLE." What would the world do without "good people"? We mean the good people of the churches, who give Treely of their time to church- work, benevolent work and above all feel that true, charity that maketh all men brethren. The non-church goer, the busy man of affairs, the young manj ofj ex igerated ego, even tho these clas ses may be "good" in the sense of 'jebig moral and upright, are too likely to undervalue the "good people" if the churches, in the case of the well-headed youngster, he ,wlU af 'ect to, sneer at them. Dut the "good people" go along luietly doing what they conceive to be their duty which Is doln good and are happy da: a way beyond the understanding of most ofi us. Trouble comes. Sickness and death '.ay their heavy hands on the light hearted and thoughtless, as on all athers. Perhaps strangers In. a com .inunlty are called suddenly to face affliction. Who comes then without calling, without request? The deso late home is bended-, the necessary meals are prepared. Crepe and signs of mourning are produced. A minis ter of God gives his services and ipeaks words of consolation. Singers itlll the throbbing nerves with sol smn music. Beautiful flowers grace the casket containing the loved one's form. There in the time of trouble uid sorro.w all things that we have been taught are fitting and appropri ate are done, and by whom? The "good people." They are the salt, of the earth and ue day will savej all peoples. PROSPEROUS TILLAMOOK. Tillamook county in. its teolatlon was not unlike Wallowa. While much nearer to Portland, yet it, was farther from a railroad than this county was before the extension of '-h line two years ago. Tillamook, however, had frontage on the sea, and If Its products could be brought to the coast, cheap trans portation bore them to the outside markets. That little word IP stood in the way. It represent ed Immense difficulties. Tillamook was a hard country la whWh to make good roads. Mountain, and bot tomsthe two extremes but. alike m being costly road bases oom posed HI OB'S: '-Jn m i,in m nr ' - ir-n.-i R. L. DAY, White Front Livery, Enterprise mostly Tillamook's surface. The greater the difficulties, the greater was the Intelligent determin ation of the people to overcome them. That IF cost lots of money $300,000 In the last three years, and a furth er levy amounting to $125,000 fof the coming year but they have the roads, all the year round roads, and '.he people ,who paid for them are not sorry theyi spent the) money. Tillamook is said to be the most prosperous county in Oregon In pro portion to Its population. It has 6,206 people, over 2,000 fewer .than Wallowa county. Lincoln county, ad joining . Tillamook on the south, ought .to be even more) prosperous. It has similar resources, similar soil, mountains and timber, and it has had for years a .railroad as well as sea frontage. But Lincoln- Is poor and the population Is sparse, it has the ordinary dirt roads, which are really no roads at, all. Senator Aldrlch has made public his bill to give J. P. Morgan and 3'andard Oil the sole right to is ?ue money In the United States, with he power to contract or expand! our currency at will and to grant, or withhold credit to any bank, to any merchant and to anybody else at pleasure. Some people say Aldrlch ju&ht to be lynched-, but we kinder admire the audacity of the cuss. We are for his bill. As the Oregon ian - says, the derned fool people hlnk they are too smart anyway. . Bowerman's ' snap judgment for political purposes in favor of the Pendleton site for the Eastern Ore gon Insane asylum, has been turned iown. This gives a possible chance d the site being decided on merit. If that is done' Union will win hands downv Why should the state spend fifty or a hundred thousand dollars for a site when It already owns an ideal site at Union? By all means spend millions and millions fortifying the Panama can al; also millions to defend the; North Pole that Peary says he found. AH the nations but ours are thieves uid cutthroats, waiting to swoop down and steal all we have. The way to have peace is to carry a gun. The man who carries a gun never gets into trouble, does he? There seems to be a regular epi demic of petty lawlessness in the county lately. Fortunately few real ly serious crimes are-committed. there having been but one arrest tor selling intoxicating liquors, most, af the offenses being murder, shoot ing affrays, stabbing soirees and like petty matters. Speaker Jerry Rusk is unreason 'ib.e. O-aly two weeks of the legis lative session wasted and he is al ready scolding them for not getting down ;o business.
