Far more good road building will be done in < iregoti this year than in any previous year. A four million dollar appropria tion bill may be required to satisfy the needs of the state during the ensuing two years. Railroads make a big parade o f expenses and arouse sympathy for their poverty. Farmers' expenses are concealed and they are envied for their wealth! The proposed amendment to the initiative and referendum provid ing for the settlement of county division matters by the county in terested only, will not receive pop ular favor from the fact that it curtails the sacred privilege o f an appeal to a higher tribunal to settle local dissentions. Just as well attempt to legislate away the privilege of an appeal from the lower to the higher courts.

In casting over the local horizon it would ap pear that Voncalla, Drain, Cres- well or even Goshen, offers better inducements for a local newspaper than is afforded at Cottage Grove for a third pajier— unless the Nichols boys have received the tip that Nesmith county is a sure thing and that Cottage Grove is “ it" in its county seat aspirations. Kven then the field would be crowded for some years to come.
