The winning of the war of course ia the thing in the thoughts of the I people today. But it should not cause us to overlook our stale, county and municipal politics. It is in such times that unfit ami ineffi cient officials manage to get into power. While the oeople are think ing and talking about the big thing these petty *f>d too often grafting officials get in their work. So let us carefully scrutinize the Novemt^r ballot and select men or women regardless of their political affiliations but who will make offi cials In whose hands the public bus iness will be efficiently and econom ically conducted.

There ia no doubt about that. So is there a demand for a bridge across the North Santiam near Shelburn. Both of these bridges will be erected in course of time. But to think or to consider the building of either in the immediate future ia rank folly. The cost at the present time and will be for several years to come Is beyond «consideration. The present county court has been willing, or was up to the present year, to join Lane county in erecting the bridge; but Ixne county would not come through with her share But nevertheless Ixne county would not undertake her half of the cost Harrisburg has insisted that Linn Abstracts of Title Examined county should erect the bridge and C.
