THE GQHDOil CLOBL FRIDAY.-AUGUST 20, 1897. THE OFFICIAL tAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY r OREGON. A SILLY PRACTICE- A silly nd demoralising practice is that of biditinjt fur the count printing. The comity publisher, thumsflvee ere often responsible for thi practice. In order to keep the other fellow from get ting the work they offer to do it for lest than the leg I rate. If rates can be thus cut once, the officer argue, they can be cnt again and each1 time thereafter bids are asked. If bids are aked on doing certain printing why should not bids be asked for holding office! Letthe law be amend ed to permit the governor to advertise each year for persona to 611 the various offices of the state. Let the job of office holding to the lowest bidder. Such a plan would be as sensible as the common custom of asking bids on publishing county work. The fvroper thing for newspaper pub liners to do is to decline all temptations to cut the rate.

Ed Compton, Lone Rock. Among the decisions handed down by the supreme court in Pendleton recent ly was one in the ease of McKennon va. American Fire Insurance Company, garnishee. The main poiat in the case is that of sustaining the validity of the homestead exemption law passed at former session of the legislature. The appeal grew out of the Cotner Insurance case. McKennon garnisheed the insur ance company for a debt owed by Cotner and the company refused to pay on the grounds that the amount of the policy, about $900, was exempt from execution. The homestead exemption act provides that a free bolder may claim exemption to the amount of $1,600. Nearly all the circuit courts of the state have decided that the law is inoperative, but the su preme court has now affirmed the valid ity of theact. To The Public.

His stores are loaded from floor to ceiling, and as regards prices he will en deavor to keep in the "procession.
