For the benefit and enlighten ment of those sluring individuals who only find satisfaction in doing the county harm by fighting its ;...rpcte we wish to state, ,t mimtv court has niiii done more for the tax payer than any other administration in our !.:,...., Tim litiildtncr of the court , ' ' a n. ,i,;,rftr the rock I nousc mm - """"b for county roads, is today costing the taxpayer of Lane county only 1 mill. Where is there a man in Lane county who lives along a well crushed-rock road who begrudges 1 mill a year for the benefit of that road? Where is there a man who would change the new court house for the old one? We have a county court which dares to do its duty to the county in the face of the threat that they will lose the populist sup port. They are making improve ments that are lasting and bene ficial at a cost so light that it is ridiculous to refer to it. We hear the cry from the farmers each year that the roads are horrible. Now we have a county court that has put a rock crusher at work for us at the expense of the county, scattering the same money we paid in taxes among our laborers, crushing up rock to better our roads, and at the same time we have that class of men so "loose of soul" that they throw a slur on the county admin istration by insinuations. A man might just as well lie as to in sinuate. In fact it looks better. However for the benefit of those who prefer to "insinuate" we wish to make this correction and add a little information. We wish to state that it costs on an average to run the rock crusher $25 per dav instead of ' 'abbut' ' $50 . That this expense is paid by the couuty at an expense of less than 1 mill exti a taxation, that from 60 to 100 loads of rock can be prepared for road purposes a day. That the number of men emploved is 10; that they are citizens of our county; that the wages $1.50 for man and $2.50 for man and team are paid for by the county and they spend the money they earn in helping make decent roads in the county; that the county court is alright and that those who have an ambition to have the county recognized as a pro gressive and deserviu'g portion of the state, without regard to poli tics, commend the county adminis tration. Dewey thus far indicates that he is not particular about becoming a presidential candidate. The ad miral will show his good sense if he keeps out of it. He no doubt would make a fairly good president but there is no assurance that he would make as good a president as a fighter. The people know and he knows that he is a fighter, and while the people have great con fidence in Admiral Dewey, and know him to be a fighter they don't know and he himself is un certain about his ability to preside over the destinies of Uncle Sara's domain. The price of silver salmon is now higher than ever known in tho history of Columbia rivei fishing. The administration should blamed for this too. be The city of Cottage Grove am indulge in no better economic I measure than to grade Main street l and keep that rock ci usher at work mis winter, it has been the ex perience of every town that good streets increase the value of the property. It costs something to be sure, but such expenditures are unavoidable and while it should not be the purpose, nud we arc pre pared to say is not the purpose of the council to impose unjust street assessments upon the property owners, a move in that direction j should be made and right away too. If property owners cannot afford to grade now, when can they? If it is considered too hard on sonic of the property owners to .grade up the streets in front of their business houses, in as much as everybody admits that good streets are a necessity, why not make a start in the right direction and grade a ; block or two this fall and a block or two next spring? While it would not be as effectual a3 a thorough grading at one time still it would be a big improve ment upon the present condition of Main street, and certainly no one who has any desire to see and travel over good streets would ob jectto it. The Christian Church is having a treat in the matter of selecting a regular pastor for the church for the next j'ear. Several of the Divinity school boys have made heroic efforts to please the congre gation, notably among them being Rev. Marion Horn who preached a week ago last Sunday and Rev. Matlock who discoursed last Sun day. Rev. Horn is favorably com mented upon and so is Rev. Mat lock, he being a very polished and fluent speaker. Just to create an interest and to draw out the ma terial that the Divinity school is working upon and molding into ministers of the law of God it might be a good idea not to judge too quickly, and give some of the others a chance to win the laurels. As it is now it can be counted in no'other light than a friendly but animated contest for the place. Get into the fight young gentle men! he that wears the sword should win it. Pictures of Boer fighters, as they are presented in the various papers indicate that they will fight to a finish if they ever get at it. No matter what y u want wo linvo it at Cumming & SeJir.
