The bridge meeting held Tues­
day night was big enough and
enthusiastic enough to give
ample evidence that there is no
division o f sentiment in Nefe-
berg, respecting the need o f a
w agon bridge over the Wil­
lamette river at this point.
The s t e a m e r G o v e r n o r is

Last Sunday’s Oregonian con­
tained a long article on the rail­
road building being done by Jim
Hill in Oregon, and m telling tbe
prospects for the new year the
statement was made that work
would begin early in the year on
the Oregon Electric extension
south from Salem to Albany and
Eugene, and also southwest to
Newberg and McMinnville. As
the Graphic has stated before,
Newberg stands ready to give
Uncle Jim the glad hand a t any

Hon. Tim othy Brownhill w ho
w as in Newberg Tuesday even­
ing said that it would be his
endeavor as a member o f the
legislature to represent the people
o f Yamhill county, and that he
desired to get their views on a
number o f questions that would
m ost likely claim the attention
o f the coming session. Some o f
these questions are mentioned in
a communication that will be
found in the Graphic this week.
Read them over and it you want
to be heard, let Mr. Brownhill
know your views. He makes a
fair proposition.
Station Agent, G. W. Games
informs the Graphic that the
sale o f tickets at the Newberg
S. P. office during the year 1910
amounted to $30,054.27 which
was an increase over the sales for
1909 o f $3,175.86. The total
business done at the office during
the year amounted to $107,138.-
48 which exceeded the previous
year’ s business by $12,867.67.
H ow would it do to present these
figures to the S. P. officials in
Portland and ask them if such a
record does not entitle Newberg
t o some consideration—an entry
in to Union Depot with passenger
trains for instance.

The Yamhill County Poultry
Association is putting up a fine
show o f fancy fow ls in Newberg
this week and everybody in New­
berg and the surrounding coun­
try ought to go and see for them­
selves the class o f poultry that
is being bred in this, one o f the
best poultry breeding sections o f
the Northwest. A look in at
the show is an inspiration to
anyone w ho enjoys an exhibition
o f an industry where there is
keen com petition. Then it is
well to remember that since the
poultry industry is one o f the
m ost im portant that we have
t o consider, the management of
such an association deserves
proper recognition and encour­
agement.
It only costs the
nominal fee o f ten cents. Don’t
fail to see the poultry show.
BACK TO THE PLOW .
Chief am ong the troubles o f the
American people seems to be the
fact that they are all politicans,
says the Westerner. We com­
plain o f our non-interest in
government affairs when the
truth stands forth plain as day
that we are already half craxy
over the subject, and getting
worse. In the face o f the greatest
temporal prosperity that this
land o f ours has ever seen, we
walk the streets and tear our
hair over “ conditions.” What
is the condition? A land rolling
in wealth—every granary and
warehouse full to bursting; work
to be had by every one whom
the law permits to w ork; mar­
kets good, and the populace buy­
ing autom obiles by the hundred
thousands, and everything else
in proportion. And thst> other
conditions are these:; Thsilbfcvery
man, wom an and child ts pos­
sessed o f a specially invented and
patented “ ism,” by the opera­
tion o f which he hopes forthwith
to reform the government. If it
isn’t tariff, it’s tax, and if it isn’t
tax, it’s government ownership,
and if not governownership then
prohibition or eqyal suffrage,
and if not these things then in­
surgency * or conservation, or
maybe a new nationalism, al­
together, upon the heels o f which
pandemonium we draft each day,
somewhere, a drastic platform
and held some sort o f an election
to change our policy and plan o f
existence. Do you wonder at
the unrest? Can we criticize
capital to tRe cyclone cellar?
A full stomach and money to
spend no longer satisfy us. More
temporal blessings than we have
ever before possessed are now
sufficient. F or we have left the
plow standing in the field and
have taken to the soap box—we
are all became agitators.
i t is a great game, to be sure,
but is it really “ w orth the
candle.” A peaceful crow d suf­
fers fewer fatalities than a how l­
ing, racing m ob. The man who
tends carefully to his w ork each
day and doesn’t talk to o much,
usually gets enough to eat and
wear. Also he achieves less
wrinkles. In view o f the fact
that our allotted time is but
three score and ten and that we
pass this w ay but once, isn’t it
reasonable to assume that some
o f us, at leait, are acting the
fool?

same gun that fired * on the
Spaniards in Manila Bay will

Dewey. That great sea fighter
is to be invited to attend the
Portland celebration.
Wealth in Oregon streams, as
well as in the fertile soil o f the
Beaver state, is shown by the
figures o f the annual take o f
salmon in Oregon waters, chief­
ly the Columbia River. A total
o f 290,000 cases, 35,000,000
pounds, was packed during the
past year, having a value o f
$3,500,000.
