OFFICE OF THE
GARRETT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,
OAKLAND, MD, Dec. IL, 1891. }
The County Commissioners for Garrett

Each and every taxpayer should take an
interest in having good roads and this can
only be brought about by having good men

that none but good men are appointed who
will judiciously cXpend the money and that
the roads are put in better condition for
travel
BY order of the board.

True and False Education.

Ali men and women who by
native justice Of mind or acquired
freedom from justice have been
able to consider the matter in the
abstract must have been convinced
that the tendency to Judge person
merely by his collected treasure of
book learning is an erroneous one,
and that the idea of connecting the
term "education" solely with
schools and colleges is false. Edu-
cation IN its best sense means not
the examining in Of a knowledge of
accomplished facts, but drawing
out and developing Of natural pow
crs. A woman may be an excellent
Greek scholar. She may be infor-
med as to the successive events of
history and science; she may haye
had as thorough an education in
the technical sense of the word as
she is capable of receiving, yet she
may be as narrow minded, as faulty
in her mode of thought and as
lacking IN wisdom as if she did not
know the alphabet. In fact, in the
broader sense, she has absolutely
no education, because other persons
thoughts have been forced into her
head instead of her own ideas being
recognized and encouraged to de-
velop. Strength and decision of
character, quick reasoning powers
and keen observation are as desira-
bic results of a course of training as
a knowledge Of ancient history and
the ditferential calculus. One of
the commonest Of errors, especially
among women, is that of assuming
that education consists in the heap
ing up of pieces of information, and
that a person who has not an unfail-
ing supply of facts at his tongues
end is stupid, unrefned and in
ferlor. Mere scholarship, although
an advantage, is superficial one.
L naided it cannot make narrow
mind broad nor an undecided
character decided. To institute it
as the standard by which to Judge
the depth and mental power of
ones friends is to make mistake
for which lifetime can sometimes
not atone.

BILE and his greatest delight was to
gather knowledge from books and
men.
Quiet and unassumlng in DISPOSE
ton he preferred his friends to him
self and often when honors would
have been thrust upon him he declin-
ed for the reason that he desired the
preferment of a friend.
He was a contributor to our col
umns through long series of years
and his letters which have appeared
from time to time were models of
logical reasoning brilliantly studded
with wit and humor. They en-
braced almost every subject, but
his best essays were discussions of
the political issues of the day and
his faclle pen was always welded
in the interests of the Republican
party.
AS a representative of his native
county in the Maryland Legislature
he commanded the esteem and re-
spect of his fellow members regard
less of party, and while his voice
was not often heard in debate yet in
committee where legislation was
created and really made his advice
was eagerly sought after and when
obtained was generally acted upon.
As u soldier fighting for the ma
TONS life he was gallant and brave
and carried to his grave scars re-
ceived in defending the old flag.
AS a citizen he was foremost IN
every effort made for the advance
ment and development Of the inter
ests of his county and State.
As a father and husband he was
kind, loving and true.
AS Il friend he was the embodi-
ment of all that word expresses in
its broadest sense.
George W. Wilson will be sadly
missed, for he occupied an enviable
position in the love and esteem OF
his fellow citizens.
And now since the last sad rites
have been performed and his body
committed to mother earth let his
memory ever be cherished by those
who knew him in this life. lie has
gone to his reward for he was a good
mana man above reproach.

A Waiting Empire,

Speaking Of the vastness and re-
sources Of Eastern Oregon which

gonian say:
"Six of Oregon's thirty.two
counties contain all area as large as
the state Of New York. Harney
county is larger than Vermont,
Malhuer than New Hampshire,
Crook than Massachusetts,, Lake
than New Jersey, klamath than
Connecticut. These five, with
Grant, inleel, make up the most
Of Oregon's 96,ooo square miles,
tenth among the states. Mott of
this land Is unoccupied, The co.'s
missioner Of the general land Office
tells us that there are vacant Ian Is,
mostly surveyed, aggregatiny, in
Crook county, S,997,ooo acres; In
Grant, 3;2o5, 600 acresj in Harney
1853, 900; in Malhuer, 5,a6s,oooI
in Lake, 2,S7r,oooj in klamath,
1886, 700. This makes an area ca
pable Of supporting, if as densely
populated as Massachusett, 10000
900 people,
1t Is interesting 10 observe that
everybody who turns his attention
to any one Of these counties as the
basis Of all article, after getting his
facts together, says, in effect: Tie
agricultural possibilities Of this
country have never been fully real
lied. 1t seems that even now these
vast plateaus are producing uore
plentifully than are generally Sup
posed. Take wheat. Will, Una
tilla county fields average ao,7
bushels per acre, Harney goes 3o.5i

We are apt TO think cul s;y at
these plains are COOL for nothing
but stock to run on. People said
the same years ago about the Yaki-
ma aud Klickitat regions, whose
grain fields are so productive now.
People said the same thing about
the great American deser, which
was thought scarcely fit for ranges
and where now wheat and corn
grow in abundance. "

This little story was related a few
days ago of an Oregon politician,
whose name could not be learned,
He said he had never been engaged
in but one piece Of lobbying, and it
would be his last one. He lives in
fear and trembling lest it is pub
lished on him and becomes public.
1t Is the Nemesis Of his life. He
says he contracted with a school
book house to travel over the state
and work for the introduction ofits
books. His salary was to be $25
per day and expenses, and if he
was successful, his pay would be
doubled. The books were intro
duced and he received the stipulated
$50 per day and expenses. But
his peace of mind has been des-
troyed ever since.-Hillsboro Inde-
pendent.
