IS ENTITLED TO GOOD ROADS If good roads will lessen the cost of hauling the products of the farm to market half they are worth far more than they cost; but there is more dif- icrence tpan tnat. uetwecn a very pad road and a first-class road there is said to be a difference of ten to one in favor of the good road. With such figures staring one in the face it is business in an emphatic manner to ec that the country gets the best toads possible. ' Already the Linn county roads' are pretty good. Our soil is such that with fair attention a road can be kept in splendid condition, a fact demon strated by the Tangent road, over which in the wettest weather of the .winter farmers experience no trouble in getting into Albany with heavy loads. The entire county should be gradually covered, good roads being made an issue. The farmer is entitled to the improvement at the expense of the people, and it is time an issue was made of the fact, ABOUT CLEAN PAVEMENT. The Lyon street pavement should be kept just as clean as that of First street. It has not been. It is in a dirty condition out towards the depot, at a place where it would speak more for the city if kept up. Good work was done with hobo labor and it should be kept up. Every hobo. kept in the city jail over night should be put to work at once on the streets, a splendid way not only to get needed work, but as well to settle a problem of importance. Saturday Night Thoughts. The president sent a epectal message to'congress this week. It may be in- leresuiig, uub speciHi -messages iroin the president amount 'to little besides their litterature. 1 he message refers mostly to land matters, trie prominent theme of the day. About the greatest subject before the people is the con servation at its natural resource, that is the protection and guarding of them so the people can 'have "their benent. If the government is really in earnest tnere is a splendid neld for doing some' thing. Down in Los Angeles a flying machine convention has attracted worldwide interest. It has been a great hit for for (hat city, people going there from near ana iar, lining me city at enor mous hotel rates. And the firing ma' i eiiuio uurb id u iweviue-ui comurjr V revelation, making us ask. what next. In Portland this week the (.rial of Binger Hermann for land fraud has been in progress, without much aerious headway. It is quite a judicial fight. The Democrat's guess is that Hermann will be acquitted, not because the Democrat thinks he is innocent, for the verdict of this paper is the opposite, but because of the delav. and the evi dent failure to Becure the kind of evidence effective for conviction. A wreck over on the Pacific, off Ore gon s shoies. has caused general inter est and sympathy. Nearly thirty gave up tneir uvea, some alter a long ana desperate struggle, heartrending in the details. Among tnem was a prominent student, with aright prospects ahead. How uncertain is life, and how much better for it to end with a clean record behind. .... The Willamette Valley. (By Rev.

The Coast Range forms my eastern line. surrounding uorvaius witn mils and glades: While Lebanon nestles 'neath fir and pine, At the base of the high Cascades. Eight snow-capped peaks may at times oe seen, Through the sun-kissed, sea-washed air- No autumnal gold nor vernal green! r or snow reigns eternal thure.

Just avoice from the Valley we love so - well, Through winters mild and summers brlghtl Just a glimpse of the Paradise where we dwell. And sing to our heart's delight. Field1 and forest and peak und vale, And Willamette, our noblest stream, Each says to our listening souls, All nan, As ye live and toil and dream.' We have the fairest skies beneath the sun, In the dear old State of Ore-on! And may the Willamette forever flow. While roses bloom imd eternal snow. Tangent, Or. G. H. NEWS.

They should not be made if not the proper thing, Every law-abiding citizen should ap preciate this point. Therefore the of ficial who makes an issue of seeing that the laws under him are enforced is entitled to the support of every body. It should always be done in a reasonable manner, with sufficient warning in case of trivial offenses and with energy in case of prominent ones, Calgary Man Here. . Mr. Chap.
