SaccMte to 1« curable Cmtr 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 nominate many of the men who have maagc 4) APPLES 25c. 50c At the orchard at Gilkey APPLES 75c, $1 Packed F. o. b. cars, Gilker, Ore.

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«* >MmiM>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. (Omtinued on pave 4) (PMIaaatahia asserii
