A'DEJIOGHAT TALKS CBGE8 KLKCTIOX OF CAPABLE MP'S tO COCSTT OFFICER f CoitnuU PrcMBt FlaBeit Condition of th County with th renatr i A d mlal&tra Hon. -Editor Statesman: I am a life-long democrat, and in state and national af fairs. I intend to vote the democratic ticket. But I have come to the con clusion that partjr politics in non-poli-ticjjl affair Is, toj say the least, a ser ious financial ; drawback to those of i us wbo never run iir office, but always pay'taxes, for a public official, whojso rnn.ln-e tlU rk(Ti -T to StlbsCTVe the interests of 5 local politician, favorite contractors, and gratters -generally, nev er discriminates -between republicans and democrats, but cheerfully levies un just tribute on them all. j ' In my judgment, -both democratic and republican j taxpayers, have A paid too much attention to party polices, and too little to material wants. In other words, we have been partisans, but not good citizens. We have -failed. to note a difference between those ofticcs which represent party principles, and those that' are imerely clerical, and have noth ing to do with the policies of any party. If I liire a man to work my farm. 1 do not inquire his political faith, nor should I when. ! in conjunction with other citizens, I hire a man to act as county judge, sheriff or clerk. Politics of the party kind in local government has resulted mosi. disastrously to tax payers in this county, as is evidenced by our large indebtedness, deplorably bad roads and increasing tax rate. .As fo myself. I am hereafter going to discuss county candidates with an eye to my financial , well being, and. pay no at tention -toUhe metes and bounds set by party bosses.) For during Uiee times, we farmers -find tnuch difneuky in selling our -product for the cost of its raising.1 and we must bend all cur energies to pay' the taxes that arc levied upon us. And a taxes in this county hav become a grievons burden. I am interested in the coming election ; to such an extent, that I -am tempted to, for the first time in my life, discuss pub lic matters ii a newspaper. t So near as I am able to team. Usr ion county, is about $So,ooo In debt, and there are no e idenees ' that j this debt will soon be decreased, and. with t!e presents earning capacity of fanners, t cannot-be i reduced without iankrapt ing the farmers, unless our annual ex iptnscs can be decreased. . The question, then, is, how can we decrease cur, ex penses and yet maintain efficient ser vice in all necessary departments? , Thinking men will probably agree that the nrst rational - step in the di rection of economy will be the selection of an henest, able, experienced county judge, and a prudent commissioner, to direct the expenditure of county funds. And who shall say that suffering tax payers . will confine the search within the boundaries of any political party? . ji - t ; 1: fir. - rivs - (From Pacific Homestead). ' We present herewith a half tone il lustration "of a haying scene in , the Cascade mountains. The cut : twas made from a photograph taken by Mr. Troverf of the Cronisc Studio in Sa lem, last summer, I while that gentle man was out after a liberal and health giving supply of the rare ozone of the higher altitudes; The humble heme that is here portrayed is right under the shadows of Mounts Jefferson, and commanding a good view of that hoary sentinel. The, reader will observe that the hay is being packed on horses. This is probably on account of the fact that it must be taken over declivities that are too nearly perpendicular for In 1892, I voted and worked for Hon. E. J. Harding, the democratic nominee for county judge. I did this partly be cause I was a iemocrat, and mainly be cause I believed that&fr. Hubbard octtld not withstand the pressure of" the push" and conduct county Business "free from the corroding influences of ward poli tics. But Mr. Hubbard was elected, and a careful examination of his record discloses the fact that he was true to the best interests of the -taxpayers. At any rate, when he went out of office, the county was practically out of debt, although it was in debt more than $70,- 000 when he was elected. I feel safe in saying that Marion county never has had a more efficient county judge, and it appears to me that no other man in this county would be more efficient at this time, when hon esty and practical experience are so much needed in the conduct of county finances. - These few voluntary remarks are ex pressive of democratic sentiment on French' Prairie, and I am quite sure that if the republicans will . nominate Mr. Hubbard, he will meet with no or ganized opposition. .But I warn them that, unless Judge 'Hubbard, or some other honest, capable and experienced man, is nominated, they will be con fronted with a "citizens " movement that will rebuke further efforts to in crease burdensome taxes for the sole benefit of the man with a political pull, r !

V The new Odd Fellows'-temple and opera house for the Caoital City of Or egon is now an assured fact, and its doors will, be thrown open during the current year. f "At the meeting of Chemeketa Lodge No. 1.

The High street front will be plate jsJass and sandstone for1 the first story, Jhe balance of the building to be brkk. The ground floor will contain an ex cellent stage and auditorium, for tise as 2n opera hou?e, and to judge from the plans it will be an up-to-date play house, furnished and arranged ; in a manner that will be a credit t6 the city. The remainder -of the ground floor on the Court street side of the building will be leased for mercantile purposes.

A- TURNER, j 3-9-7 i Attorney for PlaintiflF. ta thm Strnetr ImpratiiU ii m.t tb Big UMpital. - The new wing at the Oregon hos pital for the insane, the construction of which was authorized by the legislature at its last session, is nearing coiuple- x tiou, so far as the work can be finished with the means at. hand, the appropria tion for the new structure having been exhausted at the close of last year, wlint the main walls and the roof were com peted. I The work f (inching the. structure $0 as to prepare it, in part at least, fdr occupancy, has been pushed by the new superintendent. Dr. J. V. Calbreath. arjd he will soon have the satisfaction of r seeing eighty patients properly honscd on two of the three floors 0 the new structure: A force of patients, working under the directioni of .1 few skilled mechan ics, is (no rmployvd in finishing the work on the inside of the structure on the first and second floors. Partitions, doors tnd windows have been con-f structed and; put in place; floors laid, radiators erected .and .window guards, placed in the windows. . Light fixtures are now being placed in the building, and water and heating pipes connected up, and so near is this part of the work completed, that it will be but a few days until the two wards will be pro- -vided with the necessary furniture and fittings, and eighty patients, forty to a ward, will be placed therein for treat ment. ' The' fittings in this ; portion of the, asylum are of the best and most sub stantial kind, chosen rather for dura bility and utility than for ornament, al though the lattef consideration has not been entirely overlooked, and neat ness is everywhere noted. The mail -living halls of the wards are large, airy and Tight, and present a most pleasant appearance. So strong are the fittings, however .that there is little chance for a successful attempt at escape. The dining halls and sleeping rooms of the patients are also neat. Well proportioned and lighted, and at the same time' se cure. The bath rooms and wash rooms are models of neatness and conveni ence. J the plumbing throughout the structure beine fhe best to be secured. L The wing is heated by three furnaces. piacea in tne Dasement, wnere a urge quantity off wood and many supplies are stored. This portion of the build? ing has not been entirely finished, the cement floor for the basement being still a matter for future consideration. The same things may be said of the wood work and partitions of the third floor Unfortunately .the appropriation for the wing was practically exhausted on January 1st, and Superintendent Calbreath will, therefore, not be en abled to entirely complete the "building at this time.. The third floor will not be finished and, put in condition for occu- -pane (until another appropriation, to cover this work, can be secured. The new wing was originally intended to house 120 patients, forty on each floor, but the fact that' (he third floor can not now be finished for want of funds, will reduce the number ac commodated to eighty. During this spring and summer a new cottage will be constructed on the asylum farm.' for the accommodation of fifty to sixty patients, who will be given employment there. The present build ing on the farm has the same capacity, but there are no closed rooms in it where patients can be left securely locked up, ind only those of the in mates of the! asylum can be utilized, who have not sufficient energy to at tempt! to escape, and consequently are not able to dp as much work as is done by the more restless and abler bodied men. 'For the latter class the new cot tage will be constructed, with provision for placing these patientr in securely closed rooms. ' This will give a better working force to the farm , and will, in the course of years, pay many times the expense of the new building, an ap propriation for which is now available. The main building of the asylum proper will be thoroughly renovated during the coming year, it being, in some respects somewhat dilapidated. The grounds around the structure, es pecially in the rear of the main build ing, are also badly littered on account of the recent building operations, and khey will be thoroughly overhauled and cleaned up, the driveways graveled and fences repaired, thus making a ' decided improvement in the general appearance of the institution. Supt. Calbreath reports the health of the patients to be exceptionally good. The, operations in the gardens and on the farm are progressing nicely. Five teams of three horses each are plow ing for the gpring crops and a success ful year's operations is being inaugur ated. The recent hog cholera scare has died out, and the superintendent expects soon to purchase a number of hogs and place them in the pens for use of the institution. . j The per capita expenses of this month will probably be somewhat higher than usual, by reason of the expenditures on account of the furnishings for the new wing and the farm, but in the aggre gate it will be found the institution is managed as economically as in the past, and the very best results are being ob tained. - :-,;.:'.
