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.
