There was IN anxious time during the
Spanish war. when the questioning eyes
OF the nation were turned toward the
southern seas. and great apprehension was
felt for the safety OF the battleship ore
gon, making her way in an unexampled
voyage from the Pacific to the Atlantic to
take part in the defense OF the country.
And when the magnificent vessel put in
her appearance. undisabled and ready for
war. there was a time Of appreciative re-
membrance Of the gallant captain In COM
mand, whose exploit won for him world
wide commentator. Then. when there
was actual fighting to be done, the same
u%ndaunted captain and the same superb
ship were in the forefront OF the fray at
Santiago from the beginning to the end.
Again the plaudits of the nation ang
forth. Capt. Clark and the gallant crew
OF the Oregon made for themselves n Sc
cure place in the remembrance OF their
countrymen. But Il is one thing to serve
the republic unselhshly, and quite another
TO get the promotion that should follow
gallant service as surely as daybreak
comes with the rising sun. It Is not TO
the credit Of our naval system nor OF the
congress Of the United States that Capt.
Clark goes about his duties outranked and
u~nthanked. He does not complain. He

FOR BETTER A

Ravenna, March 10. 1900.
To the Editor: Recognizing the fact that
the columns OF your paper are offered for
discussion Of questions OF Importance 70
the people. l wish briefly to declare my
views on our present system OF construct
Ing roads in country districts.
In accordance with the law the people OF
road districts meet once a year to vote
a tax for road purposes, and also to elect
road supervisors. As many of the owners
or real estate. especially near Seattle, are
nonresidents, the n-ontaxpayers are often
a majority OF the voters at such meetings.:
and large taxes are voted upon the proper
ty OF districts by such votes. and road SUI
pervisors are elected OF their own selec-
ton, and they are mad sure of a good
Job and an easy boss.
Taxpayers do not object TO the tax (al-
though a great injustice is done them. but
they do complain that so little is accom-
plisned with the money collected. ! know
OF road districts not far from Seattle
where $4,000 has under cur present sys-
tenn been expended and you go over the
districts today and there are no good
graded roads, except near some spot ia
vored by the road supervisors. and all the
balance Of the district you wind around
stumps. trees and old logs.
Every section line In our county and
state at least should have a good graded
read and more IL demanded. Seattle and
every mart of trade should have good
graded roads leading to them ten miles at
least from every point OF the compass
that farmers and settlers may be enabled
to come to those points of trade with their
own wagons, LOADED with hay or grain.
vegetables, wood. ETC.. whereas now many
of them have to send their products by
railroads. The great trouble Is our present
system Is wrong. Instead Of allowing tax
payers the privilege Of working out their
tax for road purposes. let every man pay
his tax in money. and make 1t the duty Of
our county commissioners to let the con-
tracts to Tire lowest bidder of clearing and
grading new laid out roads. The law has
recently been 90 changed in Oregon and
we will never nave good graded roads in
our country districts until we so change
our system. Every owner of real estate
ought TO he in favor OF the change, for
then we will rave roads TO his property.
This change would not. however. dispense
with the office OF road supervisor to super
intend contracts and keep roads In repair.
II these suggestions meet with tho ap-
probation of taxpayers, let the members
OF our next legislature be requested so to
change the law. NJ. II. JONES

down. either in clinches or when struck.
In fact he was down and up so many
times that he might claim the record In
thfs particular. It amused the crowd,
however, to see him thwart the efforts OF
Burley to put him out and on one occa-
sion when he ducked a terrific right swing
and came up smiling there was a regular
Indian chorus OF delight. 1t was voted
the proper thing for the seconds TO do

they threw up the sponge. Lewis was
worn out.

FROM TIIE PEOPLE


Of things are outraged. A gardener
raises peas and pumpkins without any
thougkS as to the way IN which the
founder OF the Christian religion would
raise them, and, absurd as such an in
quiry would certainly appear to a sane
man., It seems to me that it is just as silly
to consider how Christ would run a daily
journal.
Politics and religion are the two fields
In which cranks disport. In the former
there are always a number Of people who
are eager to find a short cut to material
prosperity and who listen with pen
mouths to the fellow who processes to
know how to a something OF nothing.
In the latter the man who is on intimate
terms with God and knows what no one
can possibly know Is much in evidence,
and 1t is marvellous to see how people
listen TO him.
