GOred by a Bull-Mr. Edward Beall
residing near Cedar Grove, this county, was
badly and perhaps fatally injured last week
by an infuriated bull. While crossing a
field on his place late in the evening he was
suddenly attacked by the animal, and be-
fore he had a chance to defend himself or
make his escape was thrown to the ground
and so badly gored as to render him uncon-
scious for some time When he regained
his senses he again attempted to make his
escape, but was attacked again and other
wounds inflicted. At last he managed to
crawl to an adjoining fence and with great
effort climbed over the same, when lie again
became unconscious. In this condition he
was found about 10 o'clock at night by
members of his family, removed to his home
and medical aid summoned. Il was found
that several of his ribs had been broken, his
head badly bruised, and it is also feared that
he is injured internally. Efforts to restore
him to consciousness were finally success
ful, when he gave an account of how the
affair happened.

The Aberdeen HERxLD is opposed to
the road bond proposition in its present
shape. Was there ever popular
measure that met with the HERALD's
approval ?-zri0nne.
This is the response of the Tribune to
the HERALD's invitation to the Chehaiis
county papers to discuss the ques-
ton of bonding the comfy for road pur-
poses, purely on its merits. The question
at issue is not the popularity of the
measure; but, whether Chehalis county
can secure roads that will be of any
practicable benefit, by this means, under
existing circumstances. A measures
popularity is no warranty that good re-
suits will follow its adoption. The
HERALD is aware that at present the
proposition is popular, ana did not invite
discussion Of that fact; but the advis-
ability of undertaking an impossibility
now or by waiting awhile, until the
means are within our grasp, secure
good roads.

do this, the taxable vsIue Of each indi-
viluaPs property will have to be in
creased, at once, one-sixth. The burden
of taxation is none tho light, as things
are now. But the main question is,
What do we get for this $685., 900? 70
those who know anything OF the
topography Of the western part of Che
halls county. the following figures are a
sufficient answer: Aberdeen to AFFORD
Prairie, $4,000; Grays Harbor city to
ocean beach at Boone Creek, $40 1000;
Stevens Prairie to Quinaiult lake, $751;
600; improving road from Hoquiam land
ing to Stevens Prairie, $4,000. The best
road we have in the western part OF Che
halls county is this last road, from Ho-
quiam landing to Stevens Prairie; yet as
much is asked TO improve it as to build
road from the prairie to Quinaiult lake,
and with this small expenditure it would
be in little or no better shape than it is
today. The route from the prairie to the
lake lies through dense forest and, for
the greater part of the way, over q
swamp. Spend $4,000 on this route,
and the eye OF an experienced woodsman
could scarcely tell where the money had
gone.
Putting this money into roads in the
western mart of the county i'm the man.
ner proposed, is simply taking on sixth
of your belongings from you, and throw
ing it into the woods.
We want good roads, but the call does
not make any provisions for giving them
to us, and We can wait for the time when
We shall be able to build them. Above
all, there is not the slightest equity in
the distribution proposed. Aberdeen
should cast a solid vote against the
proposition.

SOLILOQUACIOUS.

The man not in the newspaper bust
ness, who wants to run newspaper,
isn't dead yet. More's the pity. Just
about so often, as often as any question
of interest happens to arise, he develops
a mission, the mission of the bore.
Running newspaper is business
that should be as little tolerant Of med
ding an interference as any other bust
ness. Because newspaper is depend
ent upon community for it's support,
does not give to any individual the right
to NEEDLE with the proprietor's business.
He would have just as much right to 60
into grocery store and give the propri-
etor pointers, because the success OF the
grocery depended upon getting a certain
amount of the trade OF the community.
No man puts five cents or five dollars
into newspaper without expecting to
get value received in some form. If he
gets no value received, and continues 10
put his money in, he is either fool or
philanthrophist, and there are not many
in this or any other part OF the world
carrying philanthropy into their busine 8
methods. The newspaper that makes
itself an eleemosynary institution has no
right to exist. If it does exist, it is on
sufferance, and must be without inau-
ence. The paper that makes for itself a
place in the community, on its meritf,
always has fair hearing, whether the
reader agrees with the sentiments ex-
pressed or not. 1t is not necessary that
he should agree with them: the paper
that merely reflects the sentiment of the
community in which it is published may
be good mirror, but nothing more.
The newspaper man works for better
result. The newspaper man that
wouldn't rather be right than popular
should be breaking stones or pounding
sand, not running newspaper. Once
convinced that he is in the right, ne is
q chump If Ire abandons his opinion until
time proves him to be in error. The
honesty Of his motives will never be
questioned, except by those who realize
that their own principles are market
able quantity. and for these he need not
care.
1t is one of the incomprehensibles why
subjects discussed by newspaper should
not be discussed by their opponents
through the same or another newspaper,
instead of "auguring" the editor. Is it
possible the "augur" feels that his views
could not stand being put into black and
white?

Their operations are necessarily con-
fined to tie poorer and more ignorant
classes, playing on the illiterate laborers
credulity with pretty speeches and ialse
representations till his confidence Is
gained, and he advances the $25. which,
in little more than two months, Is TO
return to him marvelously increased TO
81 900. In return for SIS a receipt and
AN agreement like that published above,
which does not amount to snap OF the
fingers, is given; this the victim dares
not show until after the expiration OF the
seventy days, for it is stipulated IT he
does he forfeits all claim to his So
After the allotted time has expired be
realized that he has been duped and
swindled and his sense and pride keeps
him from making the fact known.
The party who has been operating this
scheme here is described as u man rather
under the medium height, stout, with
black hair and eyes, wears small derby
hat, and is of good address.
No methods of swindling are so much
to be condemned as those intended to
defraud the poor and ignorant working
classes. An effort should be made to
catch the members Of this INSCRIPTIONS
band of scoundrels and punish them to
the full extent Of the law.
In the mean time, it would be we'll for
all with any number of men working
under them to put their men on their
guard, and advise them, if they are APP
preached by one ef these rascals, to turn
him over to the authorities and let him
be dealt with.

What has become of the not-long-sinc

What has become of the not-long-since
growing of the Washingtonian for har-
mony? At present that weathercock is
scratching in its more congenial dunghill
OF vilification OF Aberdeen. While Alb
erdeen always has good word to say for
Hoquiam, and is fully aware that the
two places will soon be one, Hoquiam's
exponent of misrepresentation and fee
bleness Of purpose goes right along crow
ing tweedledum or tweedledee through
its little mouth piece, just as the few
cocks Of its walk happen 10 be gazing it
OH to do their bidding.

A New Claim Bureau.

The San Francisco Examiner has es-
tablished in Washington, d. c., d bureau
to be called the Examiner Bureau of
Claims" which will be of great benefit
to all persons having claims against the
government OF any nature or description
whatever. The pension fees chargeable
by attorneys have for some time been
limited by law, and under the recent act
of March 8, 1891, transferring the juris-
diction of indian depreciation cases from
Interior department to the court of
claims, Congress not only limited the
fees, but in order to check the rapacity Of
the claim agents cancelled all existing
contracts and fee agreements between
client and attorney. Congress was led
to take this action on account of facts
brought to their notice that a combina-
ton among the leading claim agents
range of fees from 331s to so per cent had
been established. The vast mass OF gov
eminent claims are still unprotected by
law.
Mr.. William r. Hearst, son of the late
Senator Hearst, and the proprietor of the
Examiner, proposes to attend through
his new bureau to all classes of cases
before the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, patents
depreciation claims and Indian claims
for small percentage above the actual
cost Of the work.
He has engaged several competent at
torneys and the necessary clerical force
of large bureau, and they will soon be
at work. He has placed at the head OF
the bureau Mr.. John Wedderburn of this
city. who has long been the correspon-
dent Of the Examiner, and had a re-
markable experience a few years ago in
ferreting out for Secretary Tracy some
gigantic contract frauds at the Mare
Island navy yard. The new bureau, be-
ing established by responsible news
paper, has already received the cordial
endorsement of many western members
OF congress. and is getting big pile of
mail from all sections of the country.

A BARKENTINE NARROWLY ESCAPES WRECK
AT sHOALwATER BAY.
While passing over the Shoalwater bay
bar Sunday, the barkentine Portland,
lumber laden for San Francisco, ran
violently aground in mid-channel and
sprung leak. She was under tow of the
tug Traveller, which was compelled to lie
by her all night, ready to offer assistance
if it were needed. The leak was partly
stopped, however, and the next day the
barkentine went on her way.
The Portland draws 161s feet Of water.
She had come in safely, and no special
uneasiness was felt about her ability to
go out.-Tribune.

Ernest Winchell, lad Of IL years, met
with serious accident while playing
around the mill last Friday. The flange
Of one Of the wheels of the wood truck
caught his leg at the lower third Of the
shin bone, swapping it in two, SO that
one end Of the fracture protruded in plain
sight from the stocking. The fracture
was considered more serious at first, but
with the exercise of surgical skill the
ends were brought together SO that there
is but little doubt tina: they will knit. In
the course Of . few weeks the patient will
be out again with his leg as strong as
ever.-Tribune.

BONDING FOR ROADS.

On the 23d Of May the voters of the
county will be called upon to vote upon
the question of voting bonds in the
approximate sum Of $4,000 for road
and Other purposes. Thorough discus
sion will do the question no harm, and
may do the voters much good. So, it is
with pleasure that we see the VidtHe
handling the matter in such an impartial
manner. That paper makes the point per-
fectly clear that there should be no OBJ
jections on the part of the old settlers, for
the new corners are so largely in the
majority, their interests so much greater,
that it is they who will have to pay the
principal part OF the bonds This is all
true, but it touches very little, if at all,
upon the merits of the question.
The marrow of the question is "WilI
we get anything like value received, in
the shape OF roads, if we bond the county
i'll the sum of $3l0,000?" In order to
give any answer to this question, it is
necessary to carefully examine the
amounts proposed to be used upon the
different routes. These amounts are pub
llshed elsewhere in this paper; and it
may be remarked, in passing, that the
commissioners are not, can not be. bound
to expend the sums in the manner spe i
fled in the call
examination of these calls shows this !:
mat during the next twenty years the
county will have 10 pay for refunding our
present Indebtedness and for such roads
as S3lo, 600 will give, the sum OF $685., 0C0,

A Change of Base.

G. w. Hunts representative in Cen
tralia, Mr.. Dryer, has just returned from
east OF the mountains but is as close as
a clam as to the probable moves OF his
chief. Still no move of consequence can
be made with such large number Of
teams without it becoming generally
known. Seventy-six head of mules,
horses and oxen, left on the prairie to
winter, were driven into the city this
morning and shipped to Wallula, east of
the Cascades. The probable explana-
ton is lack of grazing facilities here, the
bottoms not yet being available and the
parties eaten bare. The teamsters in
charge complained that all winter it has
taken one-half Of the stock to haul feed
Tor the other half, owing to bad roads
and quantity Of feed needed. No dispo-
sition Of the tools and tents has as yet
been made.-Centralia News
