whether or not a new county shall be ¡
created rests entirely with the people
livin g in the territory proposed o f a
new county. The counties from which
the territory is taken have no voice,

the people o f the proposed new county
object. The thing goes through i f a
majority o f people livin g in the pro-
posed county vote for division.
Under the operation o f such a bill as
this almost any town in the state could
become a county seat with ease. By
skillful gerrymandering a new county
could be laid out with a town as the
center and with a m ajority o f the votes
residing therein. They could then vote
the thing through and it would make
no difference i f every farm er in the
surrounding country opposed the move.
Nor would it matter in the least how
unjust the proceeding might be to the
old countv or communities from which
the new territory is derived.
Should the proposed bill be adopted
by the people, new counties w ill spring
up like mushrooms in Oregon. It w ill
be a great boon to petty real estate
peddlers and it would make fine pick­
ing for would-be office holders, for the
number o f jobs would be multipled.
But it would be a sad day for taxpayers
and all others who profit by economy
in the management o f county affairs.

crease in tax levies and no good pur­
pose whatever would be served.

They say that they are attempting
to protect patent rights which they
have to a certain kind o f paving.
Then to protect their rights they
endeavor, in what appears to be
underhanded ways, to stop the Im­
provements from being made, in­
stead of bringing action against
the contractor whom it appears is
going to infringe upon their pat­
ents. Instead o f going after the
offender; they evidently intend to
tik e advantage of alleged illegali
tie§ in the proceedings o f the city
council, having endeavored to dis­
satisfy property owners along the
proposed improvements and induce
them to get out injunctions, and
offering to purchase property on
at least one street, evidently w itb
the intention o f using it in some
way to stop the proposed improve­
ment. Every- one o f these moves
appears to citizens to have been
made for the purpose o f injuring
their competitors indirectly. Any
action resulting from any of them
would undoubtedly injure the city
indirectly.
It seems a mystery that the com­
pany should so inconvenience the
city when it claims to be only pro­
tecting its patent rights, but the
trouble is that the Rockolite people
are not concerned half so much in
protecting any patent rights which
they may have as they are in put­
ting Ambrose & Birdsell out of
business.
Mr. Heinecke, of the
Rockolite company, made the state­
ment to the editor of The Sentinel,
in the presence o f Alderman W al­
lace, that such was their object
and while he was sorry that Cot­
tage Grove had to suffer because o f
it, he intimated that the injuring
o f Ambrose ti Birdsell was of more
importance to them than any in­
jury that might come to Cottage
Grove or any other city.
