when Officer Osburn swooped down
unexpectedly and caught the whole

their implements of war on the

fact the dealer in the game. When
pulled Jim pleaded hard, accom-
panying his entreaties with offers

THE INDIAN MURDER

Apostles of temperance. and those
who believe in strict enforcement
of all laws. find world of material
for argument in the killing of In
dian Grant, at Siletz. 1t was in
violation flaw that Grant was fur
nished liquor by the Toledo saloon
man. That violation cost Grant
his life. What is the degree of
punishment that should then fall on
the liquor seller. since his unlaw-
fn1 act was the beginning of Grants s
end?
And Grant himself, in supplying
the liquor to his comrades, violated
the same law, and that violation
was another step towards his own
death Finally, it was the craze
for liquor that was the chief in
strument in the murder. Had it
been left alone there would have
been no tragedy. 2,
True it is only an Indian that is
dead, but the manner and reason of
his going is fruited with eloquent
moral.

THEY ARE THIEVES.

Der lands The story that gov
eminent servants in high places
have bartered away for a sum oi

the timber sharks pro6ted is Meth :
er unreasonable nor strange. 1t Is
only the old habit in a new form
in which shrewd and unprincipled
men enrich themselves by the
trick of cheating the common
people through avenues opened by
bribery of public servants.
Beginning with the colossal
steals by land grants to railroad
companies, the theft of public. do
main, timbered or otherwise has
continued through many years, and
will probably run on unchecked un-
ill the last acre is exhausted. The
forest reserves, which in conception
are based on correct theory, will
probably be the ultimate prey OF
the corruptionist. When the time
comes to throw them open, it will
be strange indeed, if the big, ultra
respectable thieves do not work a
clause into the law that will enable
them to carry off all that is of val

Delegates to Good Roads Convention
s. Some Things They Have Heard.
About.

The delegates from Benton who
attended the Good Roads conven-
ton at Poat1and. have all returned.
They were. County Judge waters,
Robert Gellatly, John Horris, Hen
Ty Hector and Eli Spencer, The
account is that the proceedings Of
the convention was full of Interest,
and that much of value in the line
of good roads endeavor, was accom-
plished. Conventions of the sort
of course have their sphere of ac-
tivity limited largely to creation of
sentiment for better roads, by the
dissemination Of information and
otherwise. Along this line, Super
intendent Abbott, one Of the off
cials of the Agricultural department
of the government was in atten-
dance, and gave startling figures
that show the loss to farmers and
others by reasons of poor roads.
In the facility of transporting pro.
ducts to market with greatest ease.
and at all seasons so that the high
est market may be taken advantage
of, the figures are such that could
they be fully understood by all
people. there would be an i'm
mediate stampede for better roads,
even if great public indebtedness
had to be incurred to build them.
Other features of the convention
were measures taken for. a man in
the field to hold local conventions
for creation of sentiment for best
roads. and the discussion of practi-
cal methods for building highways
It was brought out in the conven-
ton that some of the Oregon coun-
ties spent large sums last year in
road building. In Ciackamas over
SIS 900 was spent on the roads.
In Marion very large sums were
spent and many miles of permanent
road constructed
