Of this beautiful Indian word should
not be put on the syllable 'ag,' but
on the syllable tar'ethe penult-the one

HIS LEG BROKEN.
Fracture is bad and Amputation may
Become Necessary Has but
Slender Means.

Both bones were broken In his
leg while John Mccoy was employ
ed at the Corvallis Saw Mill yester-
day forenoon. Saw logs were be-
ing pulled from the river up to the
mill. and Mccoy was assisting at
the work. Aa big log was in
transit, the wire cable broke and
in the recoil Mccoy was struck by
it midway between the knee and
ankle. The force of the blow was
such that both bones were not on
ly broken but in addition are so
crushed that it is feared amputation
may become necessary. Besides
the broken bones three ugly flesh
wounds wtre inflicted in the limb,
though these are iuconseuqential
in comparison with the breaking
of the bones.
The injured man came with his
family to Corvallis from Airlie re.
Gently, and resides in Jobs addition.
He is about IS years of age, and
his only means are his wages.
Contributions aggregating $40 were
made at the mill and in town for
his benefit after the accident yes

WONT 1T PAY?

Are there to be good big special
levies in all the Benton districts for
the improvement of the roads the
coming season? Is it worth while
to have good roads, or is it better
to drag a weary way through mud
and mudholes? Were the roads
made hard and dry and smooth so
that products could be taken to
market in winter and so travelling
would be as easy then as in sum
mer, wouldn't time be saved. money
be made, and life be happier? If
is is possible to get to town and
back or to the neighbors and back
with ease and speed, instead of
dragging slowly along and pulling
the heart and life out of the horses,
isn't the farm worth more, isn't the
problem of living easier and the
prospect sweeter? Is there any man
who insists that it is better to have
bad roads than good roads ?
Since there is no such man do not
all agree perfectly on this one thing
that it Is better, far better, in
fnitely better, to make the roads
better? In order to make them bet
ter is it not the only way to raise
the necessary money by taxation
and spend it to improve them?
It is now time to settle the ques.
ton. Special road levies must bs

OPEN THE WILLAME TIE.

In the original design, the water
courses were not intended TO be
tethered TO the financial schemes
of private corporations. II is no
more natural that toll should be
taken for use Of the water ways than
for the use of air, fla river can
be reduced to condition of private
ownership and the public can he
made to pay a private company tor
the privilege of navigating it, why
not fee be exacted by syndicate
of all the people who breathe air'
There is not whit Of difference
in the principle involved. If the
Willamette region has to pay fifty
cents a ton extra on all freight
shipped in or out because private
corporation has obtained species
of ownership on the river, it must
be fully as equitable in the ethics
of nature and human rights for
fee ,per cubic foot to be exacted OF
every person who breathes Will
lamette air. If the lockage toll is to
indefinitely continue, why not ex-
pect future citizens of Willamette
to wear air metres that will measure
every breath, with an agent OF a
corporation at the end of the month
examining the metre and collecting
toll for the air breathed. The one
would be as reasonable, as season.
able and as perfectly matched to
the natural fitness of things as the
other.
AS we'll might corporate wealth
acquire and claim ownership of the
ocean, and take toll for navigating
it. Incorporate wealth may own
the privilege of passing up or down
the Willamette, the same agency
has the right to improve harbors
and require payment of toll fol-
passage in or out of vessels. 1t is
a principle obviously and fatally
wrong. 1t cannot be defended
There are things of which there
must be common ownership. The
ocean, the seas, the lakes, the har
bors, the rivers, the air, all thes'
must be free, and must be kept be
yond the control of private greed
A more enlightened civilization ii
the future may catalogue othe
things in the list of unowned anc
unownable. but it is only the pur
pose here to maintain that the in
trusion of toll on water wa,
is an objectionable invasion O
public rights, and that the pee
pie should never permit it. Wherev
er such toll exactions are set up
the region affected has its inheren
rights abridged. suffers discrimin
ations that other localities avoid
and ought to arise en- masse ant
protest and petition until the con
dition is removed.

Splendid Telephone Service.

The following from the Times.
Record indicates that Valley has a
splendid telephone system:
The local Office has LILA telephones,
and when it is considered that Fargo
and Moorhead combined have less
than 1000 phones, and Jamestown
only about 500, it can readily be seen
that we have an excellent system,
much larger than might be expected.
The exchange has $40 miles of rural
wire, local exchange without extra
charge to the patrons. Counting i've
to the family, this means $500 people
from whom the local merchants can
solicit orders daily outside of the city.
The exchange allows but ten phones
on rural wire, whereas most of the
exchanges allow as high as fifteen and
twenty. This permits excellent rural
service. - 49,
The exchange has an up-to-date
switch board which works automatic
ally and does away with the bell ring
ing proposition with which so many
exchange patrons have to contend.
The board and power attachments
cost $1,000. The local exchange Office
employs twelve girls and four men.
The exchange connects with both
the Northwestern and Independent
long distance lines. The Independent
Is essential to an exchange which
would reach all of the towns of the
state. The company has the exclusive
service in seventy-three towns and the
exchange which is without connection
with them, labors at disadvantage.
The Independent people are working
the rural lines hard. They have many
rural phones out from all Of their ex.
changes and are pushing this branch
OF the business with vigor. Valley
City may be proud of it's telephone
service. Itnis unexceMed in the north
west and equalled in but few places.

FOR GREATER sMANDAN.
The Republican Appeals for One
Hundred Boosters to Get Busy.

The Republican Appeals for One
Hundred Boosters to Get Busy.
4 The Mandan Republican urges the
organization of a Boosters Club of
100 to keep Mandan from falling in
the shadow of Bismarck and in the
course of its argument says:
mo one realizes the, advantages to
be derived from the proposed new
north and south line any more than
the business men of Decentralization
tages which belong by right to Man
dan but which Bismarck, proposes to
appropriate to herself. One doesn't
hear any "knocking'' Of the new road
in Bismarck, although they all realize
over there that the money being now
spent by the railway company on the
Mandan round house and switch
yards, and the prospective railroad
have sounded the death knell to their
hopes to have the shops moved from
Mandan to that place. Yet with
foresight truly wonderful they have
figured it all out that, with all these
railroad connections leading into the
whole surrounding country Bismarck
has the chance to become the chief
jobbing center of the state and that
regardless Of the location of the shops,
Or division points, and the willy bust
ness men of Bismarck propose to
make the most of the opportunity
Meanwhile Mandan is sleeping peace
fully on and her citizens are utterly
oblivious of the opportunities for bust
ness and financial growth which will
unquestionably be knocking loudly
and continuously at our door. If the
increased railroad facilities will tend
to make jobbing center of Bismarck,
a town five miles away from the
future railroad center of the state,
how about Mandan, which will be ever
so much better equipped in the matter
of access to the trade? Why should
not Mandan be the jobbing center of
North Dakota instead of Bismarck?
Simply because her people are not
equal to their opportunities and are
not forceful enough to meet the COM
petition and aggressiveness of our
sister city. There is no other reason
why Mandan with her new roads and
her control over the whole western
part of the state should not command
the entire situation and make herself
the chief city of the Slope"
