The city council has lately been
severely criticised by a Grants Pass
paper for spending 80 much money on
bridges and the idea was conveyed
that there had been serious misman.
agement in this regard. This is
not the case. Good, substantial work
has been done, which is of course
more expensive at the outset, but far
cheaper in the end. The present
council, beginning the year in the
period OF high water which displaced
20 many Of tho Cheap" bridges Of
the past, has aimed at pormanency
in its restoration of the structures.
As the principal trouble has been
from the cutting OF the banks OF the
two creeks which run through town,
trouble caused by tho peculiar
nature of the granite soil, the council
has made use of cement and stone
abutments to remedy this evil. The
M street arch has cost more than
wooden bridge, but will outlast
number of such structures It is not
reasonable to suppose that the council
would deliberately spend the public
money in a foolish manner, They are
taxpayers and pay from their own
pockets into the public fund. Mem.
bors Of the city council serve without
pay and it must often appear to them
that they are engaged in thankless
task. When they do good work let
them be commended for 1t.

advantageous features.

to attack the Russian vessels. This
statement is very generally ridiculed
and the supposition is that the Rus

REGISTRATION IS SMALL
Less Number Thnn Lost Year
Have Signed City Books.

Tho city registration books were
closed on Tuesday evening. The
registration this year is small, falling
below that of last year. One reason
of this is that there was some con.
fusion among somo Of the voters re-
garding state and city registration,
some who have registered at the
court house considering that sufficient
for all purposes. Indifference and pro.
orastination, however, are probably
the principal causes whereby the
