FlIlTolt IXHKPKNIKT Tllf Mll-
gttioti linn lo by a corri-spondtiit In
January It are In tliu main Kixxl, but
thequMtlo.t arises In what manner
should money be raised to build road.
A sugtfvitloa In your editorial notice
regarding tnls matter would, If car
ried out, work great Injustice to a
large portion of Washington county;
that L, If the roads alluded to by
you "to the county trade centers" are
built with money taken out of the
general county fund. A large por
tion of NYashington county is natur
ally tributary to the "metropolis,"
Portland, as Its trade center, and to
.ik t!i taxpayers of thin imrtloii of
our county to build ir help t build
rouds lending Into Ilill-boroor Fore-t
Jrove would (srtainly Ih unjust,
and I N-lieve no fuiiniinded im-i-sou
would or could say otln r lse; and
while I mil iu favor of good roads,
nevertheless I Mieve that the
iimrrlv l"-t Ii Huy rim to l
...ill. lux... . -'X
of tax on the proiterty adjais nt to
such roads, the only Just and equit
able method. Improvements of
streets and building of sewers iu our
ineororated cities are paid for in the
same manner.
There is, however, another way,
although not as good In my estima
tion, and that is to levy a tax on all
taxable properly in the itiunly for
road construction purposes, nnd dis
tribute the amount so raised to Hie
different road districts, iu exact pro
(Hirtion to the amount of taxable
property contained in each road dis
trict, to Ik exenled on construction
of roads in each mad district, under
the sujxTvlslon of the county court.
The provision to distribute the.
amount so raised in the manner
above stated should 1 mandatory
on the county court, otherwise the
distribution might in many ca-es,
judging from past experience, be mi
equal and unju-t; as for instani the
grunting of f lOoti to the road district
including Itcavertoii, and the refusil
of our county court to give even one
dollar to district No. 9, after aome of
its leading citizens had raised a sum
sufficient to buy a half interest in
the rockcrusher owned by Heaver
ton district, and rock a considerable
distance of its main road, theHcholl's
Ferry road. In saying this I do not
wish to object to the grant made
Ileaverton, but simply to assert that
one portion of the rrmnty should not
l favored at the expense of another

Lee and Lilly.
If all men should draw prizes in
the marriage lottery like that drawn
by 1ee Porter, of Monroe, there
would soon be bedlam on earth.
Lee Is the 18-year-old iHd that elocd
with and married Lilly (ain six
months ago, to le deserttsl by her
three week later. Two weeks ago
she returned to N-e and explained
that maternal interference i-aused
litr to desert his Issl and board. Is
forgave her and together they started
again up the hill of life. Hand in
hand, with hearts a pit-a-pat, they
slid over the domain of Father Time,
until last (Sunday afternoon, when
Lilly suddenly slid off in another
direction. Farly that afternoon
Lilly's mother arrived at the farm
where the couple dwell, and later
liee was sent to town for oysters to
make oyster soup for siipier. When
he returned the house was empty-
Lilly had folded her ubiquitous
tent, packed her grip ami gone to
the home of her pa. The next
morning !e iruthered up her !
longings ami hauled them over to
Monroe, and dumped them on the
porch of the Crain residence. As to
where his sprouce is or what her in
tentions are, I.ee knows naught, and
cares les. ite is thoroughly dis
gusted with married life, as he is
but IS years old and twice deserted,
his statu of mind is not surprising.

The Rubbers.
Ex-fscnator Laton, of Connecticut,
himself a democrat, although he
would be ruled out of the new demo
cratic party by the framers of the
Wilson bill, when a member of tbe
house told an anecdote of a scholastic
freetrndcr that illustrates the tend
ency of men wlnev whole tniiiiing
has been out-ide of pr.i'. liitd life, to
blindly follow theories and hut their
eves to the fu.-ts of life all about
them. "A certain professor, a the-
orlst of the first water," said ex-Senator
Eaton, "came up into a large
manufacturing village In my coun
try to address the people on the tariff
question. There was a farmer stand
ing by a post in the lecture room,
and the professor thought he might
be a good subject to oerate upon.
So he said to him, my friend, you
are a farmer?' 'Yes.' 'But you live
here?' 'Yes.' Mo you know thiw
manufacturer! in this village aie
robbing you'." 'Why no; I do lot
know it. Mow have they robins!
me? I came here 10 years ago witli
only I'mh) and bought a farm for
t2,"A)0, and run in debt for the bal
uiuv. I went to mlsing truck and
selling it to the mill hands. I have
paid off my debts ami now own my
farm, free of debt. How have they
roblxsl me?' The professor, not at
all taken aback, went on. 'Well, I
suptiose you have leen a hard-working
man and have lived through it.
Mut you pay six cents a yard tax for
le very cloth your shirt is made of.'
'Well,' replied the farmer, 'you may
think ao, but you can not prove It
unless by .F.sop's fables, for ! cents a
yard was all 1 gave for the cloth."
- BOI NTY OX IIEET SKJAK.
How proud and gratified California
must Is- at the recollection that it
cast its electoral vote, with one ex
ception, for (I rover Cleveland at the
last presidential electiou, when it
sees a democratic house of representa
tives taking off the bounty from
domestic sugar and thereby dealing
a death blow to what promised to
Ussime one of the gnut leading in
dustries of the state. Only yester
day we were told that the Watson
vllle licet Sugar Factory had Ju-t
closed its annual run, having re
duced fit, .'SHI tons of Iss'ts grown in
Santa Cru. nnd Monterey 011111111"!,
for which the growers nreived a
ton, and the output of which was
alsjut Tsihi tons of raw sugar. The
results of the Chico and Alvara lo
Iss-t sugar factories are yet to be received.
That is the showing from a single 1 lim to , ,e,,wing and raising
factory for the sason of ls'.i;-!, but ilj,i,u,t genera 1 1 v. However iHTiiic
(lie botiuly Ik removisl from denies
tie sugar the results for ImiiI-.I may
be summed up in a single word nil.
We cannot make beet sugar in com
petition with foreign cane sugar,
esiHrlidly if it Is not dutiable. This
inagnilleient industry will be ruined
as completely as though Cleveland
and the democratic party had con
fiscated the plant and sown salt on
the hoot fields.
I't it Ih rememliered, too, that If
the bounty clause of the MiKinley
hill be repealisl and a duty imposed
on Importtsl sugar It w ill not help
California sugar growers, for the re
ciprocity treaty with Hawaii has
never been roiioaled In terms, and as
si sm as foreign sugar is made duti
able the exception In favor of Hawaii
is revived, and sugar from Hawaii
cornea In duty frts. If we could get
far enough below the surfa.w we
might find that the Hawaiian ques
tion and the sugar Uninty questiou
are very closely related In Cleve
land's mind aud that sugar Is a
potent factor in determiug the
iseue.
Our democratic senator and con
gressmen must show their hands on
this question of sugar. There is no
dislging or evading it. They know
very well that the sugar Imunty has
given to California a new and flour
ishing Industry one that helps the
farmer, the laliorer, the merchant,
the middleman nnd the manufac
turer, and doe not incrisise the cost
of sugar to the consumer. They
must make their choice between the
democratic platform nnd the jxsiple
of California. They cannot shut
their eyes In the question, for it Is
palpable and visible. They must
dtrlde, and diside very quickly,
whether they represent the ople of
California or whether they will le
ctasstsi wiin ine cucmmis no repi .u
their harsh and silly note-only when

whole country Is now suffering.
That the president is largely res
ponsible for the depression, I am w ell
satiitied ; but until the governor, the
Ilillslsiro Ifc'iiHKTtit and other pas-rs
that help to mould di itun ratic opin
ion, shall form correct ideas upon the
true policies uf the government, their 1
recoiium-ndatiuus will do but little
good and will tic received with but
little restart. So long as the gover
nor and bis populi-t uing of the
dennrratic party are unable to dis
tinguish between the want of money
in the country and the want of credit
that would insure the circulation of
the millions of money now hoar, hi I
up and out of circulation, and su long
as the president with their endorse
ment, undir the pretense of reform, 1
strikes at all the Ix-st interests of the
country, their recommendations will
avail nothing.
The credit of the country has been
hos'lessly shattered by the leinpoi-
ary success of democratic theories iu
the last presidential election.
If the governor's explanation of
what he meant by his Jereiniehed
were giveu as wide circulation as his
ofsn letter, possibly it would have ii
lured Ihc reiiiitiitl.ni of( Irivon les.s hut
this explanation adds but little to his
reputation for shrewdness.
The fact is the president and gov -
ernor are men of d.rided individual -
Ity, and both a little cranky. The
president's idea that civil servh re
form may lie brought alsait by using
the government patronage as a means
to secure the vots of democratic con
gressmen in violation of their pledges
to vote for his ct measures is origi
nal at least, but I am too dull to ms
where the reform comes in. While
the governor's fidelity to States'
rights theories run to see, I, is exhib
ited iu frantic efforls to back and butt
at the government train, rcgatdlcss
as to who may ls the conductor.
Centralization is the red rag that sets
ious the political the nrhst of the gov
ernor must le considered, one cannot j
but admire hU consistency and evi- j
dent honesty iu cat l ying them out ;!
although we have but little respeet !
for his judgment. '
The president is usually consist, nt !

publicly pledged to do, and flwi,v,

be adminsl, but the less snid about
his honesty and judgment the U tter.
Kuch of these men is grtstt in bis

There is no doubt fns trade, or
