V r,j ppoetfully suggst In our own favor Hint ftinee tho Sth day of November last we have waxed fat, gaining L'2 pounds in that time, on diet such s the country editor usually tackles, which is proof jKTbitive that tho political pudding Is I io cause of it. We have grown too hrge indeed to longer renin! n a private individual, and must either have an office or have the Oregon legislature incorporate us. Wo feel that wo are competent to till tho office and strong enough to draw the salary, thus rellevting credit on the party and de flecting cash to oureelf supplying a great need in either case. lUsidcs this it would be a fitting recognition of tho newspaper fraternity the people who put others in ofilee and got nothing themselves; the men who "lead the columns" in political battle, who mar shal and drill the foroes in time of pence; the men wtioget all the scare, no cash and a very limited credit. The truth U, the newspaper man is, so to speak, the war horse in time of polit ical battle, the beast of burden between fights, turned out to pick a precarious living on tho range, fenced out of the public pasture, and only groomed when it is time for him to stand un and be shot at. Those are our claims to recog nition, and if we are to be turned down, we ask in all justice to an overworked and underpaid class of party workers that some other newspaper mnn lie given the pi ice. lwmfamwa "'Gala Sa i iioi milium mum uiiuu uuiu.

It is tho history of all movenieuts, political or otherwise, that the parties to be benefitted are generally the last to be converted. It is so in the present couuty division question. The prep osition is undoubtedly true that a small, compact couuty can be run at less pro portional expense than a large one. It KliouiJ be borne in mind that outside of the county judge, school superintend ent and stock inspector, all county of ficers are paid fees, and if they have little work, they have also little pay. The salaries of the officers named would not amount to more than six hundred j dollars yearly, and the other officers would be paid by those employing them, except as to criminal business, and in this line the proposed county of Cascade would be at tnfling expense. Another bugbear used to frighten the unthinking is thestatement that costly county buildings would be erected at once, and thus taxes increased. Who is to build these costly buildings, and who to order them built? The town of Hood River could not do it, and if done at ull it would be by officers elected by the people, and that only when the county is out of debt, and so increased both in wealth and population as to make them necessary. Besides, the object ot county division is to lower taxes, not to raise them. More than this, the town of Hood liiver will guar antee to furnish suitable offices and court room, free of charge to the coun ty, for four years, should she remain the county seat that long. The Iwiun daries of the proposed county are nat ural ones, and the formation of a coun ty within them is only a question of time. Nature has so shut in this sec tion that but one wagon road crosses the boundary lines ot the proposed county, and that is the old Dalles and Bandy wagon road along the Columbia river. tion, aud ask ourselves the question: What do we owe The Dalle that we should any longer pay them tribute? Why should our farmers any longer take their earnings there to enrich the overpaid officers, saying nothing of money paid for traveling expenses, ho tel bills and time taken, which means to agriculrlst as well as mechanic and merchant, so much cash, according to time lost. In the ordinary affairs of life, when a young man attains his majority, his great desire is to start house-keeping on his own account, aud cruel would bo the parent who would put obstacles in his way for mere selfish ends. Now, I would like to ask the question of not only the people of Hood liiver valley, but of Mosier and Cascade precincts, are we not of age? Have we pot at tained our majority? Are we not capa ble of managing our own affairs? Yea, rather, if we could not do better than increase our taxes year after year, and also our county indebtedness, as our guardians at The Dalles have done, and have given us so little in return. Then, I say, let us be bankrupt if we cannot, as it Is only a question of time as mat ters are run now. I think I hear some say, "Oh, it will benefit Hood River if the county seat is there." Admitted, to a certain extent it would benefit Hood River and Hood River would appreciate it by providing the county building but not more than it would the balance of the county. Yesterday a capitalist was here mak ing inquiries respecting our enterprises, andwas desirous of iuvesting $:'5,000; but he said he could not see his way clear unless the county was divided; then he would invest at its county seat. Now, friends, let us set aside all feel ing, and each one ask himself the ques tion, Will it benefit me, or can I possi bly be worse off? For answer, ask any resident of any county in this state that has been divided, and the answer will be, "I don't want to go back." Avt Vixcebe Aut Mori. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.

Governor Pennoyer is opposed to the state building the portage road around the Celilo-Dali38 rapids, not because lie doe3 not believe it would be of great benefit, but because he thinks the gen eral government should build it. With all due deference to our good governor, for whose opinions we have the great est respect, we are compelled to view the matter iii another light. We do not believe the general government will, for the next few years at least, go into the railroad building business, aud if the road is to be built at all, it will have to be done by the state. It should be done, and it should be done this year. Beitig below the proposed road, we have no direct interest In it other than that of a citizen of the state, de siring to see the people of Eastern Ore gon assisted in their laudable desire to make a living- For a New County. .

From what source this disquietude arises I don't think it is hard to conjecture; but what is most surprising, that the opposing element, most of them intelligent and excellent citizens, should allow themselves to be biased and hoodwinked by those who are fishing for their money and their patronage their money principally; and I think if they would give this matter a thorough investigation they would f-ee through the thin gauze.
