1t is pleasing to note tina, repairs
are to be made on the brick streets on
Broadway. For something like two
years the city has been pudding"
around trying to persuade the contrsc.
tor to make desired repairs, and the
contractor said the city was liable for
the expense, and refused &c make them.
In one place in the pavement near
Fifth and Broadway there has been an
elevation that the public has had to
stumble over for over year. Meth
er the city nor the contractor wouli
do anything. but last night the admin
istration, probably apprecisting the
fact that an election is approaching,
decided to let the contract for doing
the repair work and try to Danish in
the public mind the memory of that
bump. The city clerk, the contractor
who built the street and for year or
more refused to repair it, then arose
and magnanimously offered to have
the work done at his own expense. He
probably intended TO do it all along,
and only waited because the streets
and sidewalks will now last that much
longer on account Of the delay. 1t is
very good Of him and the people who
have been used TO seeing the big bump
in the sidewalk on Broadway for all
these months should appreciate it.
p. S.-The city clerk and former
contractor is now candidate for o flee.

County Debt Reduced to $4,000.

Probably no county in Oregon has ac-
complished more in the way of getting
out of debt in the past few years than
Wasco county has. On July l, 1900,
the county was four years behind in the
payment OF outstanding warrants. On
August z, 1900, County Treasurer Hamp-
shire issued his first call for warrants
after assuming Office in the previous
July. His call on that date was for war
rants registered prior to September l,
1896. On April Is, of this year, he is
Sued call for warrants registered prior
to January /, 1902. Thus in 1900 the
county was four years behind in meet
ing its debts, whereas now it is only one
year and three months, or in other
words in 1896 it had debt amounting
to about 100000, whereas now the
debt is in the neighborhood of $4,000

Time and its Changes.

Bishop Fitzgerald of St. Louis, while
presiding over a Methodist conference
at Binghamton, N. Y, recently, de-
feated the champion chess player of
that city. Only few days before this
event the Baptist ministers association
in st. Louis stood adjourned during
the passage of a circus street parade.
The ST. Louis Republic, commenting
upon the above, says:
"There was time when such Incl
dents as these might have caused dis
approval il strict church circles. The
mere idea of Methodist divine engag-
ing i'm a chess tournament, and espe-
cially when a church conference was
under way aud he was the presiding
officer of that conference, would have
been treated as something worse than
frivoliiy. Similarly would the spec
siacle Of the gathering of Baptist cler-
gymen interrupting their weekly meet
ing in order to look at passing circus
parade have aroused doubt as to spirit
ual consistency.
"But those were the mistaken days
when the extreme precisiOns took their
religion in way to make it more of a
curse than blessing. Some of them
refused to see any beauty in the world
which q good God had given them

things. A Methodist bishop may pla.

should be allowed to return to the I'm
ion. Johnson vetoed bill after bill, but
congress passed them over his veto. In
1866, attended by members of his cab
met, he made tour through several OF
the Northwestern states denOuncing
the action of congress as rebellious and
appealing to the people to support him.
But at the congressional elections OF
that year the policy of congress was in.
dorsed by large majorities.
Finally, the house of representatives
impeached the president for high crimes
and misdemeanors, and he was tried
before the senate and acquitted. He
died in 1875, just after he had been
elected United States senator.
The account book of this man, who
filled the highest and most honorable
office in the United States, shows him
to have been in early life very illiteratt
and very poor. The book is lesson tC
