FULTON AS PEDAGoGUE,
Early Days of the senator From Clat-
sop County.

The following is reprinted from the
editorial columns of the Corvallis Ga
zetts:
Small beginnings in life often lead to
great ends. Hon. c. w. Fulton began
his career in Oregon years ago as a
country school teacher, He is now one
of the intellectual giants of the state
and commands the respect Of all classes
Of neonle of Oregon. The Albany Her
aid relates the following interesting
story OF Mr. Fulton's first appearance:
Perhaps not many people know II,
but Hon C. w. Fulton, president Of
the Oregon senate, formerly taught
school in Linn county, Along back In
1876 n young man landed in Albany

RIDs FOR COUNTY ROADS,
Will Be Opened by County Commission
ers April Srd.

The county court commissioners will
probably not meet until April 8, which
is the date set for opening the bids for
the construction of he county road TO
Nehalem. Considerable pressure is be-
ing brought to bear upon Commission
ers Young and Peterson to insert a Sec
ton in the specifications providing for
partial monthly payments for complet-
ed work. Up to the present neither Of
the commissioners have chown any in
,lication to change the specifications
as they now stand.
No bids have been received yet and
County Judge Gray stated yesterday
that from information he had received
from q number of small contractors the
number of bids would be less by one
half than would have been submitted
IL the partial payment clause had been
inserted.

CAN CUBANs GOVERN THEM
SELVES.

One Of the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable of governing themselves, and
that the United States must maintain
its present control indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There will be those
who will dispute this, but there are
none who dispute the well established
fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is capable of controlling the common
diseases of the stomach. 1t Is a rem
edy that is backed by fifty years OF
success. 1t is an ideal medicine for
constipation; a strength builder for
those who are predisposed to lung trou-
bles. and for nervousness it is of Won
derful benefit. AS an appetizer 1t is in
