A general canvass of Mosier reveals the fact that the citizens are alive to the necessity of do ing something and are heartily in favor of incorporating, be lieving that it is the best and only thing for the community. The matter o f cost to the indi vidual has not been worked out, but il is safe to say that the gain to him in many ways will lie far greater than the possible in crease in taxation. lie will share in the general prosperity, and this will mean much to the busi ness man and the laborer. From a social, business and economic standpoint, il appears to the thinking, progressive citi zen that the most sensible thing to do is to incorporate the town of Mosier and it has been sug gested that a mass meeting of the citizens he held next Tues day night at 8:30, to thoroughly discuss the proposition and, if found advisable, to formulate plans for incorporation. Let every citizen attend this meeting and express his opinion on tlie subject, MOSIER, WASCO COUNTY, OREGON, These cars, lighted and heated, are placed on station tracks for advance distribution often many hours before the departure of trains. Mails are called for and delivered at a large proportion of the postoffices located at rail way towns. “ Enlarging the size and in creasing the weight of the package which may he sent by mail, means a diminution in the numlier of packages which will be sent by express. The rail-; road company is paid for the latter, but is underpaid for the mail at present, and the paicels {lost will increase our work so that we are in a position to lose amounts that cannot lie even ap-f proximate!} estimated at this time.

One of these things will happen to it if we do not wake up. The «am try around Mosier is far and away ahead of the town in progressiveness, as it is being rapidly developed by in telligent men and methods. This o f course, is good for the town, but the town itself should make some effort to get in line with the upward movement. It might he argued by some 'till ill that tlie town is too small to as sume municipal duties and re .»> ««- sponsibilities. There are small hopes o f its becoming much larger unless it incorporates.
