Sherman county is again without a
saloon. When an attempt was made re
cently to have a saloon Miss Maggie
Eaton of the W. C. T. U. took her horses
and carriage, and with another white-
ribboner. drove fifty-live miles In one
day and opened forty-live gates, and the
next day, taking anoiner woman, orove
forty-five miles and opened thirty gates;
making one hundred miles in two days,
and the opening and closing of seventy
live gates. Hy doing mis, mey ion mi
men employed upon their farms and se
cured a majority of signatures of the
voters, and so saved the county from a
saloon, says the Wasco News.
A petition ia being circulated in the
northern part of Grant county, asking
that a portion of the county Including
Haystack, Monument and Hamilton be
annexed to Gilliam county, A similar
effort was made two years ago but failed,
and the Gilliam taxpayers are glad of it.
The territory that wants to be annexed
to this conntv we understand would
prove a blessed riddance to Grant coun
ty, aa the principal cause ot tier high
taxes ia the many criminal cases that
come from that portion of Grant county.
We know positively that the object of
those people is not to And it more con
venient to come to Condon as county
seat, but they make open hoasta that at
soon as annexed they would begin howl
ing for a division of the county, or an
other vote on county seat. Let them
stay where they are. Gilliam ia large
enough the way it ia and does not want
them. The development of thia county
was retarded for many years by a vicious
county seat brawl and the taxpayers do
not want any more of it. Outside of
half a doxen or so 'agitators," who hope
to he benefited by such a change, there
are not a doxen taxpayers in Gilliam
county who favor annexation.

The weather last week was summer
like, tbe thermometer going op to 62.
But Sunday it turned cold, sending the
mercury down to 10, and alwuthalfan
ii ch of snow fell. The fanners are wish
ing that foot r so would fall and lie
on (or a few weeks to protect the young
a beat. '
Tt.ern is some fault-finding In regard
to the way the road districts have been
changed, and the idea of paying out
money
makes others irrumDle. But
some would find fault and grummeii
there were no taxes at all and others it
there were no roads. As stated Itefore.
we favor paying the tax in cash and
paying it out on honeetlv-performed la
bor on the roads. But our judgment
would be to form the county into aliout
Ave districts, which would itive each
overseer a chance to work each road at
th nroiwr time. We believe that the
roada can be kept in better repair under
the new svttem than tbe old, because it
is an indisputable fact that there is a
large per cent of the road tax lost under
the old svstem.

The Argentine republic looks upon
the bachelor as an undesirable element
in ita population and baa passed a law
making marriage compulsory. By its
provisions the law puts a heavy fine of
$500 upon any person who shall refuse
an o3er of marriage, that snua to go to
the person who makes the proposal.
The question, "Is marriage aanccess?"
appears to be beyond tbe pale of argu
ment in Argentine.
