THE PAVEMENT QUESTION.
What the Pavement of the Future Should
Be in This City.


Nearly every progressive city in the
country has undergone great expense
in experimenting with paving materials
that have not answered the purpose or
given satisfaction, and which have
proved utterly valueless for constant
use with either light or heavy wear.
Wood is Objectionable on hygienic
grounds, besides being subject to decay.
The one material which alone seems
to fulfill every requirement of an ideal
pavement is brick.
1t has Of late years been accorded a
preference by all of the best paved cit
les in the country over any other ma
terial for road beds, with the result
that the manufacture of brick specially
designed for paving has become in it
self an industry of commanding i'm
pO1tance.
The advantages Of vitri1ed brick as
a paving material were very plainly
and convincingly set forth in New
York paper recently. These vitrified
brick are impervious to moisture, and,
therefore, perfect as far as hygienic
conditions are concerned. The brick
pavement will not decay or give forth
any unwhOlesome or unpleasant Odors;
it retains it's elasticity even in the cold
est weather; it always, under all kinds
Of weather, keeps in excellent condi-
ton, while as to wearing qualities 1t
excels all other artificial materials. 1t
is far cheaper than granite, and more
desirable by reason of the saving of
horse flesh and vehicles, to say nothing
of it's other advantages.
The one objection which has been
most strongly urged against brick paw
ing has been1 it's tendency to loosen
under heavy traffic. 1t has been
very hard matter to find q sufficiently
enduring adhesive substance for use
between the bricks to cement them in
to a concrete surface. This objection
has been overcome in a gr0uting,"
which is now being commonly used,
which grows more adhesive with age
and prevents all upheaval Our Main
street pavement is so comparatively
new that we have had every oppor-
tunity to see what little opportunity
there is for this objection. The longer
that pavement lays the stronger it will
be.
One of the objections now being
urged by residents of Market street
against brick is that it is noisy pave
ment. The difference in noise between
the brick and block paving is very
slight indeed. A pavement Of any kind
will give wagon plenty of opportunity
to rattle. A smooth brick pavement
offers less such opportunity than a nee
essarily rougher block pavement. The
comparison would be very slight be-
tween the two.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

Ed. Gazette:-We have a few more
questions to put to the Times.
Is the Times sure that statement in re-
gard to John and Mary Smiths land on tho
assessment roll is true, and has not the law
required full description for the last
twenty years?
How does the Times know that the prop
osition of Mr.. Bush or Mr.. E lwards 10 as
sess the county in 200 days is foolish ard
impracticticable? Has the Times man
been over the county with Mr.. Alexander
and seen the work done? We are satisGt d
he has not and that the Times man knows
n moro about it than any other sensible
man.
Now as to the sheriff and clerk. Will it
not be just as easy to have the salaries lc-
duced by the legislature when the officers
are paying their own deputies as it would il
the county was paying thcm?. Does the
Times think that Waggoncr and Bristow,
after reducing their own sa!arics the amount
of the deputy hire would be more likely TO
object than Rickard and Waters, who have
not promised any reduction?

When man parades his own virtues as

been unable to discover any other reason
advanced for the election of Peter Rickard
than that he is good citizen, good neigh

Dor of Mr.. Richards and have known him
for years. A good citizen is interested in
the welfare OF his community, and the
gatherings of his neighbors and fellow citi.
zens attract his attention and insure his at

a Il public gathering in our precinct. I
have never even seen him at church. A
good neighbor feels kindly towards his
neighbors rtjoices at their prosperity and
sympathizes with their sorrows. I have
never witnessed Pete Rickard at a funeral.
When John Harris died, a good man and
good, respected citizen, Pete Richards all

commented upon. When Johnny Walker

was concerned. Other good men have been

sufferings evoked tho sympathies of all, tn g
COOL people OF Willamette precinct ex-
pressed their sympathizing interest. But
Pete Rickard, who passed the ho1se almost
daily, could not spare time to even enquire
about him.
Mr.. Rickard does not stand we'll among
his neighbors as citizen or neighbor.
The claim that he is a poor mans friend is
ridiculous unless he considers himself poor

among the people Of our community. but
do not wish the people to be deceived by
false prctensions to virtues unpossessed.

Ed. Gazette:-Suche times as these, when
it is so hard for the average taxpayer 10
raise money to pay his taxes, it stands US in
nand to look well to the persons We elect
to control our public business.
As the democrats in their convention
gave us no promise of retrenchment, but on
the contrary, nominated ticket that is yir-
tually pledged to demand that their depu-
tics be paid out Of the county funds for the
next two years, it behooves US to look to the
republican candidates for the much-needcd
reform.
1t is currently reported and generally be-
lieved that Peter Riekard, tho democratic
nominee for sheriff, has said to his friends
that most people thought there was only Sc,
600 year in the Office, but there is 81 900 in
in it. Now, Mr.. Rickard has been in posi-
ton for the past two years to know how
much there is in it.. What confronts us
now is that Mr.. Rickard has been a mem
Der Of the county court for the past four
years and it was his sworn duty to guard
the treasury against any such frauds. If he
has sat idly by and allowed the county to
be swindled, what assurance have we that
he will not continue the swindle should he
succeed in being elected? In fact, the un-
derstanding among his acquaintauces is that
he expects to get the $4 900 out of the Office
and not so much as pay his own deputy
hire. But l want to call the attention of
John. A. Buchanan to this matter and
think he will thw art that little matter if the
people do not. have no desire to attack
Mr.. Rickard'e private character, but among
his neighbors it sounds very singular to hear
of him as "a poor mans friend"
There are numerous duties good citizen
owes to the community, such as at
tending public meetings for the public BEN
eft, attending funerals, and various other
purposes, and if Mr.. Rickard ever attended
such, his neighbors would be glad to
know it.

Weakness awakens sympathy and com
pas sion in the hearts of those who witness it,
I'd when the weak one publicly parades his

disposed to let it pass unnoticed. Like Eug me
Aram, in his anxiety to conceal the evidences
of his guilt, he reveals '.facts Of guilty acts"

"These figures said that article, ''do not

n ,r $3.50 allowed j. L. Skipton, deputy sher-
iff, for constable fees"
1t was the presumption that the 81 500 in
excess OF the lawful salary of the sheriff, was
expended for deputy hire. But tho Times
saws: "Now the total allowance for deputy
hire in the sheriff IS office at the present time
is just $50 per month, or $500 per year; only
this and no more" This would be 81 200
for the two years. Now, what has been
done with the 81, lG0 which represents the
amount paid the present sheriff in excess of
clerk and deputy hire, board paid for pris-
oners, and $3.50 allowed j. L. Skipton,
deputy sheriff, for constable fees?" In Whist
garb does this SLIGO masquerade when it
comes before the county court, that it should
be allowed to pass unchallenged? Has it
not bocn clothed in the words ''deputy hire?'
