Names of visitors from Los Angeles
and Indianapolis were among those in

the panorama viewed is the seeming
nearness of the Columbia river. At

At the breaking cut of the civil war

out the war. L'nder Gen Connor, after
a battle with the liannock Indians in
Ltah, in the soldiers suirered
severely from the cold weather. Mr.
Noble at this time had his feet frozen,
which caused him great trouble in
later life, and since his residence in
1 i . .1 i.l Kiver he found it necessary to
have all his toes amputated. Alter
the close of the civil war Mr. Noble
lived fur a number of years in the
state tf Nevada, where he was engaged
in cattle raising. In 1877 he came to
Hood Kiver ai.d fur a number of years

he says : "I am particularly opposed

P;y,l0le tht a general road meeting
shall fix upon the roads to be improved

Just think seriously of what he said.
"VAIl mill .

specify particular roads to be built
Let
""" "om juage coivige, of Med
ford, Ore., a few months ago. Here
is what he said. "We have been through
road campaigns in this county, where
the people discussed the matter of the
bond issue for many long weeks and
we found thut nn linnit icano ...ill
carry in any county in this state unless
the order of the county court calling
the election states where the roads are
to be built. You could not bond Jack
son county for 1100,000 nor any other
amount unless the order calling the
election located the roads to be con
structed. I do not think any people
will ever vote a bond iss e withou
being assured of the locatiou of the
roads before they vote the money."
Now, Mr. reader and voter, I have
quoted from two different people of
different ideas. Barring who express
ed either opinion, which sounds more
reasonable and appears more favorable
to you? The Grange roads bills, No.
324 and 326, make it compulsory upon
the county courts to name in their call
for an election, the beginning and end
ing of each road to be improved and
the people, through their regularly
elected delegates to the county road
ucciiugs, Beieci me roads which the
county courts describe in their call for
an election.
Mr. Voter, if there ever was prin
ciple honorable, just and worthy of
your support it is the one objected to
py Mr. Miller. He claims to be a be
liever in placing all legislation as near
the people as possible and here he is
opposing a measure that is purely
"peoples rule." If, as he says, the
county road meeting in Linn county
would vote to build a road from Albany
to Lebanon the rest of the county
would say, "A nigger in the wood

could be done, unless a majority of the
mrougn meir elected delegates
desiredTit. Whiln I
Linn county citizens would do such a
iiiii.g wimout including many other
roads throughout th nnntu vat 1 (ion
easily understand how their county
court might do such a thing and the
people might holler, "Nigger in the
wood pile." Mr. Voter, this whole
nght is open. The princijle ie, "Shall
the people of the road politicians select
the roads to be improved?" Read the
grange road bills No. 324 and No. 326
nd see how we select the roads and
protect the expenditure df the people's
money. Yours sincerely,
A. I. Mason.

WILSON-SPEAKER
CREATES LNTEREST
While the political alignment of
many of those who were in the audi
ence that heard Senator M. A. Miller,
of Lebanon, who addressed the citizens
of this county at the Commerical club
Monday night, the crowd was the larg
est that has yet attended a political
rally this year. Mr. Miller is no
spellbinder and gave vent to no high
down oratory. However, he did make
plain statement of facts in an interest
ing way and presented the Wilson side
of the argument of the present day po
litical campaign convincingly. Ihe
audience evinced its interest more than
once by rounds of applause.
In beginning his speech Mr. Miller
stated that he had made a visit to the
valley many years ago, when a resident
of The Dalles. The community at that
time, he said, was absolutely undevel
oped. "You people here are to be ron
gi a tula ted, " he said, "for the won
derful progress you have made."
Ministers Met Monday
At a meeting of the ministers of the
city held at the rooms of the Commer
cial club Monday morning, it was de
cided that each of them should preach
Sunday on some topic of politics, mak
ing an appeal toward cleaner citizen
ship. The ministers formed an organ
ization. Rev. W. B. Young, pastor of
the Methodist church, being elected
president; Rev. J. R. Hargreaves, of
the Heights Baptist church, vice presi
dent; Kev. J. B. Prasons, secretary.
On a week from Sunday night a mass
meeting will be held at the Congrega
tional church, when addreses will be
deilvefed by Rector Edmund Trew
Simpson, of the Episcopal church, and
Rev. W. B. Young. Prof. L. B. Gib
son will preside at the mass meeting.
