George A. Waggoner, pioneer,
author and politician in oast years,
died at hia home in Lebanon last
Saturday, aged 74 years, after an
illness of several months.
Mr. Waggoner can hardly be
classed as an ordinary citizen. His
experience »¡nee he arrived in Ore
gon in 1852 as a a ten-year-old boy,
has I wen so wide, so varied and in
so many fields, that he must lie
written down as of the extraordi
nary.
No sooner than he arrived at the
stage of manhood, he went to the
min«*» in Idaho
This was in the
period when road agents and bad
men predominated in the mining
sections of the coast and stage rob
bing was an often occurrence. Mr.
Waggoner tells numerous and verv
readable stories concerning them*
early mining days in his book called
’’Stories of Old Oregon.” In a
numlier of these stories he. himself,
was one of the active characters.
Mr. Waggoner returned from th«*
mine« to the Willamette valley in
about 1875. From thence forward
he participated in Oregon politics.
He was a delegate to alnosit every
republican convention ami helped to

Wit or of The Tribune: I have
beer thinking for some time about
an editorial I read in your pa|M*r
considering the <11 vision
of the
county into commissioner districts.
The fact that the forks of the
Santiam has seldom, in the |>aal 33
years. b«*en represented in th«* legis
lature, rau«ri one to notice th«*
manifest injustice that ha» existed.
I lived in a county in Minnesota
which was divided into five commis
sioner districts.
I have forgotten
whether it was a state or a special
law. In the county conventions of
both republican ami democratic
parties, at the proper time, usually
at the c I< mm - of the other business of
the convention, the chairman called
on the delegate« of district No. I,
to nominate a man from their dis
trict to I m * placet I on the ticket. In
rotation hr. likewise, called on dis
tricts 2. 3, 4 and fi. Each district
placed the nam<* of one of its own
citizens on the ticket.
The demo
crats did the same in their conven
tion and anv other party could do
likewise.
This insured that a republican
and democrat candidate would I m *
running in each district. Sometimes
a third party placed a man on their
ticket as well. In that county there
republican, democrat ami independ
ent republican ¡mrties al that time
and usually there were three candi
date for th«* same office.
The representation on the county
iioard were seldom all of one |>artv.
Notice: Each district elected on«*
of the men and one only, to act as
county commissioner. It was a rep
resentative board. Th«* >M<ard was
a local l«*gialature. Each commis
sioner brought the mills of his dis
trict lM*fore the Imard for consider
ation and the voters of a district
could hold their commissioner re
sponsible for his sets. In other
words, the official could nwire nearly
represent his district with efficiency.
Understand me that the nw*mbere of
the board voted on all matter* per
taining to any part of the county.
I can readily understand that when
Linn county was young in year»,
that a judge and two con>miM>ioners
could well attend to the business of
the county, as a whole. M> exper
ience and observation in the past,
convince me that it were better that
"old Linn” l*e divided up into five
commissioner districts.
Say the
Santiam dwtrict, Albany district,
Harrisburg district. Brownsville dis
trict and lx-banon district. tach
commissioner then can make himself
familiar with the conditions of hi»
own district and so report It to th«*
board. One nf the officials can set
as bridge builder, as is pt act iced
now.
The present system sets one part
of the county fighting some other
part. I hear much complaint in re
gard to it. Representative districts
will do away with much of this
trouble.
