.A. school to teach suciKlism is the
blest. If it teaches the average
catrxen how to cast his ballot intel
lif rally socialism will be an accom
fdished fact so far as Oregon is con
caaed. There is talk oi amending the di
red vimary law in the nextsession
of the Legislature it don't suit
the bosses. Let what the people
have created alone their servants
caaaeno better.
Engineer Elliottt resignea be
caut there was talk about the

rtland. Perhaps if anDusen,
the fish comnaisstoner, should hear
what is said about his admiuistra-
tksr he would go and do . likewise.

often fool never." Perhaps
there was windom in the change of
mind of llonV John II. Mitchell
and Binger Herman. They may
resent and experience a change of
heart also after conferring with, the
grand jury.
Last week the Gazette published
the greater portion of the tax list in
a supplement. Had the printer
read carefully the affidavit of pub
lication he would have done other
wie. The last, clause in the pnx-f
of publication reads: . "And that
said notice was? published in a
Bcwtpapv and. not irv a supple
peat, ! '
The peopte made the local option
law and it is all right. Only a 'few
fellows do not liketheway it works.
The law is having a wholesome ef
fect Buon the saloon ' business in
this county The saloons are run
nearer in accordance with the law
than they were before the law was
enacted. The busine-s must con
form to the regulations or it will
haw to go.
Tie Mist ,and other county pa
pen would be, pleased to print a
synopsu of the meetings of the
county grange: but it appears that
the secretary of the grange refuses
!o famish grange news to any pa
per nut xus own. Oregon Mist
STio told you so? The eecretaJy
furnished the Wist, Chief and Ga
zette with a column of news from
tbt Pom-na grange previous to the
last one. This little wrileup was
not appreciated by the Mist it
did not say so. None of the coun
ty papers have ever anked for the
cewg. There is asi opportunity to
nnhe with the grange and then
yea can .et your own news. If you
persist in whining people will soon
think there is something wrong
with you..
At its iifxt letfiiiar tetsion the
ct mniWhipnera court will be called
upt'D to levy tttxs lor the enduing
year. Ih total assessed valuation
is $2,576,362. On this amount an
tight mill tax wou d raise $20,000
wbkb is a trifle less than the
mount expended last year for
county general fund. If the road
levy was put at 2 mills it would
raise $5000. This would be a little
.more than one fifth the amount
flrofcd hi last year and would only
he'enough to keep the roads in re
pair. This is sufficient. . If per
manent roads tie to be made let the
districts through which they run
lery a tax for that purpose, and let
all work by contract. The state
and school fund will require about
12 mills, This would make a total
of 22 mills, and would rais? about
$51,000. To this add $25,000 spe
cial taxes that should be levied in
different road districts and ech'ool
districts would make a grand total
of $77,000. And the people should
sot be asked to pay one cent more
than that amount. A two mill
court house tax has been suggested.
It is not needed until the ounty is
ready to build a conit house, and
frum what we can learn there ,-,wjll
be opposition to building a court
konse untiltheffve years have
elapsed since the election to locate
jfte county seat.

New Zealand is the only country
we believe that has a compulsory
arbitration law in operation, and
in the main itstvmo to have worked
successfullv. Fublic ownership of
public utilities has also gained a
large foothold in that distant and
progressive island. Hence the re
cent report of the minister for the
department of labor io that coun
try contains some facts of interest
to the world generally, and a few
of them are therefore summarised.
There is no diminution or retar
dation in the steadiness of New
Zealand's economic advance. There
is general prosperity among work
ers. Municipal enterprises, such
as street railways, etc, have ab
sorbed surplus labor near cities,
and the demand for labor in the
country districts has exceeded the
supply. Though there were 18,1 S8
more arrivals than departures from
Australia, agricultural laborers
were scarce at 24 cents an hour,
and it has been difficult to get re
lable workmen on railway con
struction. Building trades have
boen fully employed all over the
province. "Wellington alone has
increased the value of its property
$7 508 010. Carpenters have been
scarce at $2.07 a day. The iron
trade was for awhile dull, but this
is improving. The gold dredging
industry now begins to rest on a
solid basis. The boot and shoe
trade, somewhat depressed for a
few years, is reviving. Woolen
mills have run to their full capaci
ty, and their only difficulty is to
secure labor, especially girls trained
in the hosiery department. Cloth
manufacturing, tailoring and dress
making were buoyant, and called
for much overtime work. Laundry
work has almost doubled, and
workers are in demand. So in the
pastoraland agricultural districts'
the supply of labor is insufficient
to meet the demand The colony's
exports have risen in 10 years from
$42,787,215 to $74,15X3,060, and sa
vings banks deposits have increased
by 1U,:505,770.
All of which is evidence that
New Zealand people have not suf
fared from breaking out of the old
ruts. Purtland Journal, Dec. 9.
The Grand Jury has indicted F.
r. Mays for complicity in the land
frauds. He will be the cheif figure
in the next case and the story pro
mises to be of more than ordinary
interest. .... -

Weather Forecast The weather

way. Fortunately for this section L.

home, store, office or church at prices
ranging from $1.95 to $15. Freight paid
to your town if you want to buy one and
be happy. Just see O Swett about it.
