Sully was a real political and

though he, Sully, retained his
Protestantism until death.
He saw, as every intelligent

grow in wealth, happiness and

made to replace war. ,

cinct turned In a vote of 214 yes
, and 5 no. Opposition came largely
( from split precincts off the direct

The measure completely eclipsed
the state Issues and brought out
an 80 per cent vote in the district,
as compared with about a 37 per
cent vote in the rest of the county.
The project was started more
than two years ago, and came to
a hearing early last year, when
the highway commission was call

A very vigorous, fight developed
from communities outside of Rose
burg and the territory directly af
fected, resulting in the withdrawal
of the application, and the filing of
a new petition, with more limited
boundaries described.
The highway commission, fol
lowing a second hearing, fixed the
boundaries to Include the city of
Roseburg and a narrow strip about
15 miles wide, extending from the
city to Diamond lake.
The district will have a valua
tion of approximately $7,500,000.
A 2-mill levy is to be voted to make
a survey of the 22 miles yet to be
built, the county court agreeing
to advance the money to the dis

Buen reading these French
men', books they lenvo after
they arc' dead. It looks like
some of Vm
died just to
start an argu
ment. France
awaits t h' e
death of each
,ono to find
out what he
thought Of .the others. A
"best seller" is the one that
can dig up the most dirt.
There ought to be a law in
every country making a man
read his, autobiography out
loud before his enemies and
nee what happens. As it is
now a fellow can call you
anything he wants to, and
make you still madder by
dying before you can get at
him. Yours, -
