GET OUT OF DEBT AND BUILD
GOOD ROADS.


Columbia county is another one out
of debt. All Oregon counties should
be so in the near future This will be
the very greatest sort of an immigra-
tion inducement.
Marion county (Rep.), out of debt !;
Linn county (Dem.), out of debt;
Wasco county (Rep), out of debt;
Baker county (Dem), has reduced It's
debt from 100000 to $4,000 and will
soon be out of debt; Polk and other
counties (mlxed), out of debt.
The conclusion is that politics cuts
no figure. What the people want is
a county judge, county commission
ers, assessors and sheriffs who will
pull and work for the people, and to
put their respective counties out of
debt, and to build good roads, and do
good, clean, honest service generally:
and 1t doesn't amount to a hobo's Ella
culation whether they are Republicans
or Democrats.
Judge Doan of Columbia county is
Republican; If he has been a good
one, as it looks like. the people ought
to keep him there. Judge Scott Of
Marion county not only helps to keep
his county out of debt but is fore
most among Oregon county judges in
the good-roads crusade; he should be
kept in office. He is more than earn
ing his salary. Journal.

as being "a pack of lies too gross for
liberation" He declares that inspira-
ton is not allowed to certify to the
truth of any statement in the Bible
(which cannot be substantiated at the
bar of reason and evidence" In the
New Testament he finds little to offend
reason or conscience, but, whether
much or little, it will have to go the

condition, Canon Henson attributes the

want" and who inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation of
unearned wealth, the profusion and
unchecked luxury and the insolence of
unchastened power"
The canon says that when it is re-

man has a horror of barrels, especially
empty ones, and if he sees a wagon
load of them in the street he is conf

possession of a caul, which he always
carries with him, believing that it
shields him from violent death. The

fresh start and always follow the ac-
customed route. l remember when
Sarah Bernhardt was here for the first

HOSPITAL PETS.

~N-N~~~~SO-~~~-~O~N~ON
OF army, navy and other semipublic
pets much that is entertaining has
been written. Hospital pets are not so
well known, but it is easy to imagine
the pleasure they give to a ward full
of little patients, and no one could
doubt the statement of a nurse, in the
Hospital, that they brighten many a
weary hour of convalescence and ma
erially help toward a cure.
The first pet of which the nurse tells
is Jumbo, a wise old tortoise, which
lived, moved and had his happy being
in a children's ward in a New York
hospital. His curious wanderings
about the ward, his clumsy gait, his
air of antiquity and wisdom caused
many child to forget pain; and to
have Jumbo on the bed was the high
est reward the staff nurse could prom
Use to little patient for good behavior
during the surgeons visit.
"Nurse Judy" was fox terrier which
for fifteen years, was a close and low
ingly compassionate friend to every
little inmate of a children's ward in a
London hospital. None knew better
than Nurse Judy that a dog that lives
in hospital must not bark, for there
were little sick ones whose sleep must
be disturbed. Barking was the only
canine privilege denied her, and she
was always cheerful under this ordeal
of silence, and more than most of her
kind, she learned to express her joy
by wagging her stumpy tail.
Gypsy" another terrier, has taken
Nurse Judy's place, and is already so
wise probationer that some of the
nurses say they could almost trust
her to take a temperaturew Gypsy
plays ball with the convalescents, and
always has a Santa Claus pocket of
her own at Christmas. The only lib
erty she will not tolerate from the
children is the attempt to "cOmman-
