It is only in this manner that our representatives in government will be

On this line of thought, the Canyon, in its voting, did not follow the
trend in the remainder of the state. Why these communities gave Demo

this area was better informed.
To you, the successful candidates—we extend our heartiest congratula

On you, the responsibility is heavy. We ask of you this—that you rise to
the occasion to the best of your ability. You are the choice of the voters.
To you of the defeated—there is no sought for glory. Your efforts
though were not in vain, for it in only through a two-party system that a
true democracy can function.

The other day I got the following letter from a lady who is con-'
valescing in a Montreal hospital: ,

I've been taking it easy, a little too sick to leave the hospital and a little
too well to keep from having the fidgets. Consequently, I’ve been some

the time of day with other patients. During my wheelchair travels I

The Mill City city council took a “Paul Bunyan’’ step towards city street
betterment this week under the careful and patient guidance of Mayor
Albert Toman. Affairs of our city hit a new peak when Mr. N. W. Haner
and associates, registered Oregon and Washington engineers were commis
sioned by the city to gather and assemble engineering details for a working
control plan for street and city drainage.
First. Engineer Haner, must make and set down on paper a city-wide
survey of engineering facts on such things as elevation differences, location
of afreet boundaries, etc. These engineering facts and papers provide Mr.
Haner the fodder for an over all street drainage and sewage disposal plan
fitted to Mill City's need. This work costs Mill City very little and is a
thing of use even after our streets are surfaced and sewers are installed.
Mayor Toman, the Mill City council, and other civic-minded citizens
should be complimentt-d for their choice of Mr. Haner and Associates. Mr.
Haner gives every appearance of being one capable of shepherding Mill
City's efforts towards municipal improvement.
We earnestly desire to assist and to be a part of this effort bringing
about a more liveable »nd loveable Mill City.
