Verily the good old theory that

not in it any more with present
day methods. The fellow who
is too modest to toot his own

A body blow was dealt to the
liquor interests of the state on
last Tuesday when the Supreme
Court held that the local option
«lections held last November in
Salem, Oregon City, Stay ton,
Springfield, Gresham and Hills­
boro, all o f which voted dry,
•were valid. There seems to be a
“ turn in the road” at last.

take will recuperate his health

Francis Xavier Matthieu, the

old. Lack o f time forbids further

C. B. Wilson has decided to
«nter the race for the nomination
for county clerk at the coming
primary election. He filled the
office o f postmaster at New berg
fo r four years to the satisfaction
o f the patrons of the office, this
giving him a wide acquaintance
with the people o f this section o f
the county. He says he has re­
ceived assurance of hearty sup­
p o r t fr o m influential citizens
throughout the different sections
o f the county, and be will doubt­
less make a hot race for the nom­
ination. Should he be elected he
will give the people good and
efficient service in the office ot
county clerk.
The only reason why the
groundhog failed to “ come out”
t o see his shadow last Monday,
which was groundhog day, was
that there was no groundhog in
the hole to come out, as this
rodent has so far failed to dis­
cover this, the garden spot of
/the universe. Old Sol did his
rfpirft, however, and now it the

W ORD ABOUT THE ORE­

track laying been done on First
street by the Oregon Electric, tl
cost of this amount o f paving
would have been charged up
against the abutting property
on the street.
As a property owner on the
street the writer has good rea­
son to know the paving bill was
big enough as it was—a case o f
being thankful for the lift given
hy outside capital.
Newberg wants ‘a competing
electric road and wants it to be
a Hill road.
Then what have we to gain by
beginning to antagonize the Ore­
gon Electric and jabbing the of­
ficials in the slats for not doing
what has proven to be the ini
possible thing, up to the present
time, owing to financial condi­
tions?
According to the Graphic’s
vision the better policy will be
to avoid the rantankerous at­
titude and keep on good terms
with the people whom we desire
to see spending more o f their
good money in this locality.
Since . the currency question
has . been disposed o f there is a
decided change in the money
market. In fact reports indicate
that changes for the better have
been so rapid that normal condi­
tions will soon be reached and
the wheels o f progress will be
hitting the ordinary gait again.
In the meantime let us extend
the glad hand to the Oregon
Electric. We don’t stand to lost
by being patient and showing a
friendly spirit, and we certainly
will gain nothing by being hasty
and contentions in this matter.
