A lengthy communication on the county bonding question came from Hon. W. B. Dennis this week too late for publication in this issue. It will be used next week. It is something of a surprise to see Fred Lockley'a bat in the ring as a candidate on the republican ticket for the nomination to r secre tary of state, but if he can round up the descendants of all the .old pioneers, whose stories of early life In Oregon he has w ritten up. he wil] have a long string of supporters to bank on. Fred is a likeable fellow to meet anywhere and on any occa sion and that smile and handshake o f his one never forgets ; or gets aw ay from.

I ¿ * A • 1 The editor of the Graphic was not able to attend the meeting of the city council on last Monday even ing and neither has he been able to get out since to learn the trend of the paving matter. He hears, how ever. that the meeting was largely attended and that Jesse Edwards, former mayor, presented a remon strance that carried the signatures of ninety per cent or more of the property owners who will be held for the cost in case the pxving is done. He stated that while those •whose names appeared on the re monstrance were not opposed to paving, they did object to being held up for work done at the prevailing prices. A number of others, among whom wfere many women, spoke very . emphatically along the same line. G. W. James, W. T. Ander son, C. C. Ferguson, the mayor and othqys spoke in favor of paving at once. The average cost per front foot as estimated by those who fa- \ vor paving was given as |5 , but it Is safe to say that as engineers es tim ates are usually made in such Instances, the actual cost would be much higher than this. For in stance, the estimate for the First street concrete bridge ,was about 250,000 while the actual cost has reached nearly 965,000. It is the most natural thing in the world for the engineer or contractor who is wanting a job to avoid as far as possible putting figures before those who must pay the bills that will tend to dampen their ardor. Mayor Larkin told the writer in discussing the paving question a short time ago, that the property owners would be heard in the m atter and that the council would not pave if it was shown that the people did not want it undertaken. If this is to be the policy of the council It would seem th at 90 per cent or more of those interested ought to be sufficient un less they desire that it be made unanimous. There may have been Instances where the wish«« of so large a majority of property owners were arbitrarily set aside but we hare beard of none. The State Highway Commkulos has stated re peatedly that they were not conatd- erlng letting any new projects this season, for the reason that all the contractors had all they could han dle and consequently they knew that if they should bid on other Contracts it would be at figures that would be prohibitive. Does it stand to reason that Newberg will be able to get lower bids for paving than can the State Highway Commission, and is Newberg better able to pay an exorbitant price for paving than is the state of Oregon? Some £>f these things should be considered ¿y the city council when they meet Monday night to vote on the paving question. tion to walk with the people had refuse the obsequious offer of the bosses to give him rides on the old machines; the vision to see clearly into the future and th« nerve to shake off the entangling alliances of the past.
