FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1909. CITY POLITICS GETTING WARM. There Is considerable activity In municipal politics juHt now and not a little talk as td who shall be can didates for mayor, though so far no one has signified a willingness to serve the dear people In this capacity. The two names we hear mentioned the oftenest are Jim Tuffs and J. O. Itlggs, tho former has been out of town continuously for three weeks or more, and the latter refuses to talk on the subject. M. J. Anderson has a strong follow ing and his friends think he would make an Ideal mayor, In which opin ion they think they are correct. The base ball people aro taking a great deal of Interest In tho munici pal game but ho far they have put forward no candidate. They propose to vote against any member of the present council who supported the base ball ordinance, and this being the case neither Tuffs nor Rlggs could get their support. It is thought that a little later the bnso ball boys will put a candidate In tho field In tho person of E. T. McKInstry who is an admirer of the game. Dr. J. C. Smith, who has been mayor of Giants Pass, Is mentioned In some quarters as desirable timber for the mayoralty. So far we hear of no candidate for tho council In any of the ward:t, but more thnn likely they will bo In evi dence within a week or so, as city politics will soon bo at a white heat. IMPORTANCE OF GOOD 1 10 ADS. The building of good road in this county should receive more at tention now than formerly. The farmer needs nothing more thnn he does good roads nnd, therefore, he should lead In their const ruction. It does not pay In rond work to slight the Job. Rondwork should bo In nil cases of a permanent nnture nnd by this means one will finally havo good roads all over the county. Tempor ary work In road making never pays. This has been forcibly Illustrated on Sixth street, In Grnnts Pass. For twenty years or more this Rtreet has been filled In nnd every sort of a makeshift has been resorted to, all of which has cost first and last enough to havo paved it with the best material. As It Is, tho money was spent and we havo hnd nothing to Show for It. . Country roads should bo built with a view of securing tho best results. In this day of practical things nil culverts should be of concrete and strong enough to Inst. Every section of road should havo drainage so that It will stand the rainy season without Injury. Good roads hnvo much to do with the transportation of farm produce to market nnd consequently to tho same extent It enhances the value of land. The farmer who has a good rond to market certainly bus n great advantage over the one who has not. This Is why the value of land In a section of good roads Is always great er than In a locality where bad roads aro the rule. When Mr. Conklln returned he soon suspected something and finally the 13-year-old miss told him that she thought to havo some fun but did not think It would turn out so seri ously. Hereafter the people of Grants Pass will sleep with their doors open as usual, unmindful that a kidnapper or a housebreaker might come in. for wltjj great anxiety. It may not be known here that Otto Dannard, the republican candidate, is a nephew of our honored townsman, A. U. Oannard. This nephew is a man 55 years old and has long been president of one of the great financial institu tions in New York. In the. Interest of good govern ment and honesty it ia to be hoped that Mr. Bannard will be elected. Should he not succeed honest people will be glad to see Mr. Hearst defeat the Tammany leader.
