A Hint to Our Commissioners.

Walla Walla county. through its
application to the state board of con-
troll for permission to work on the
public roads there number of peri-
Tertiary cOnvicts and the application
has been granted Now there is no
county in Washington that needs road
improvement any worse than does
Yakima and the Democrat suggests to
our board of commissioners that an APP
plcation be made at once to the state
board of control of the same character.
Convict labor is by far the cheapest
labor that can be had for this purpose
as the state virtually asks for nothing
more than food supply for the con-
victs while engaged in road work
Now that the wind has dried our roads
up for the time being let us not forget
all about them as we have done in the
past but 90 to work on systematic
plan for their improvement. This
paper believes that the three road SUI
pervisors of the county are doing the
best that they can, but handicapped as
they are, with limited means at their
DISPOSAL and each with a large terri
tory to cover, how can they be expect
ed to accomplish much. If we could
secure a detachment of convictS for
the season that vile peace Of road be-
tween this city and Union Gap for in
stance might be converted into turn
pike that wOnld be pleasure to travel
at all times of the year.
Some people for sentimental reasons
are opposed to convict labor on the
roads. This is a nonsensical idea that
should be given no weight in the deter
mining of such question. Moreover
the convicts themselves would welcome
the innovation, as it would afford them
desired change of scene and atmos-
phere and the outdoor life with the
greater freedom, as being compared
with being shut up within the wall of
gloomy prison pen, could not fail to
be agreeable to the prisoners and work
for the betterment both morally and
physically.

sonal politicians, playing politics for

the remedy is at the polls. Every can

DERSlSTENT rumors that the cities
of the Champoeg and Sucker are
at last to be connected by rail-
road have caused intense excitement
among the farmers along the proposed
route. Champoeg, it is well known, is
a city on the silvery Willamette which
has never bad half chance in the
world. The jealousy of Salem on the
south and Portland on the north has
squeezed out its very Likelihood and held
it in commercial serfdom; but at last
an opportunity has arrived. Sucker is
ii city in Eastern Oregon, the CONNER
cial metropolis of the Sucker-Creek
country, about ten miles from the
Snake river and on the Nevada line
The new railroad is to be financed by
St. Louis syndicate which controls
about 5000, 100000, said to have been
deposited in d portland bank as guar
antee of good faith. The syndicate has
the warm approval of the Transports
ton committee OF the Champoeg cham
Der of CONNIE rec, and reports from
Sucker announce that the people of
that city have every confidence in its
ability to do what it promises. The
route Of the road as now decided upon
will follow the Willamette to Portland:
thence along the Base Line road to the
summit of Mount Hood; thence to
Mecham, in the Blue mountains. From
Mecham the survey runs south on the
peak of the main ridge of the Blue
mountains to the Harvey county line,
whence it strikes southwest through
the sagebrush to Sucker. 1t is propos-
ed to build the line from Champoeg to
Portland on piles in the middle of the
Willamette. This ingenious scheme
will combine for the passengers the de-
lights of river and railroad travel. and
is expected to attract macy tourists
from the East. At Willamette Falls

or to suspend the track from balloons.
The transportation committee is said to
favor the latter plan because it is
cheaper and will also save expense for
the right of way.
'4-----s==-- ------
The latter consideration is immater-
ial, however, because the syndicate
hopes to secure right of way as free
gift, not only from the farmers around,
Sucker, but from suckers on farms
along the entire route. This is the
only concession it asks with the excep-
tion of a deed to all the land within
six miles of the track on each side and
Il cash bonus from each county eaqual
to one-half its assessed valuation. I'm
less the good people along the route
are willing to lend their assistance and
cooperation to this trilling extent, the
road will not be built. The syndicate
does not need the money, but it feels
that to build railroad for lot of far
mers not ready to sacrifice their all in

would be undignified. The farmers
need be under no apprehensions, for,
even if the road is never built, the
deeds and bonds will hold good forever
This point has been decided in many
famous cases. Breathes there a man
in Oregon with soul so dead that he
will not gladly give away his farm to
railroad company? Perish the thought.
Railroad syndicates, like in surance
companies, are purely philanthropic
enterprises. They exist, not for paltry
pelf, but to minister to the sick and
suffering. He that deeds his farm to

THE Civic Union of this city has
adopted plan suggested to 1t for
the formation of direct primary
league in every city and precinct in
the state. The step is proper one to
take, particularly for the purpose OF
bringing home to the voters all over
the state, as we'll as here in Seattle,
clear understanding of the meaning
and workings of the direct primary
system of nominations for public office.
i. Active opposition to the direct prl-
mary from those who know anything
about it is confined altogether to men
who desire retention of the present
system of nominations, because of the
personal interest which they have in
controlling such nominations. Voters
generally, particularly where there
has been any discussion of the direct
primary, are fast awakening to the
fact that they have a right to take
back into their hands the power of
which they have been deprived of
naming the candidates for Office them
selves.
AS this sentiments grows, so will
fade the power of political grafters and
manipulators. The time is near at
hand when the nominations which the
people are asked to approve will no
longer be made in conference" held
in the back rooms of hotels or saloons:
at which few men arrogate to them
selves the right to dictate to all of the
other members of their party what in
dividual shall be placed in nomination
for each particular Office. Nominations
made in conferences" of this kind will
not receive popular approval at the polls
No appeal to party loyalty or regu.
larity binds the voter who is denied
the right to say for himself who among
the various candidates for party
nomination he desires to see on the
ticket. He may, indeed he should, on
such matters, surrender to the voice OF
the majority of his party, if that voice
receives full expression. He is not I'M
der the slightest obligation to surren-
der his personal views on this matter
to the dictation Of handful Of profess

The opinion of the attorney general
on the matter of listing mortgages for
taxation is clear and explicit. BY the
plain provision of the statutes all mort
cages are subject to taxation, save
those which are given as security for a
portion of the purchase price of the
property mortgaged.
The assessors have no discretion in
the matter, With the policy of taxing
mortgages or leaving them untaXed
they have hothing to do. That ques-
ton has been determined by the legis-
lature. Every assessor, therefore, un-
less he violates his official oath of Of
flee, in the opinion of the attorney
general, must asses, all outstanding
mortgages, save those which are given
as security for the purchase price of
the property mortgaged. Every asses
sor who fails to do what the law re-
quires him to do, is subject to removal
for malfeasance ia Office.
II the people do not want mortg ages
to be taxed, they can so declare
through the legislature. Executive
officers have nothing to do with the
matter save to obey the law as they
find it.-P.-I.

The third class should contain a

In this there should be an abundance

DRY FARMING IN THE GRAND R0NDt
Campbell System With Alfalfa Provse
Huge Success In Washington
Guleh.

The La Grande Observer gives the
following account of an experiment In
Washington gulch:
Following the system Of dry farm
ing introduced in Oregon by the late
r. c. Judson, Industrial agent Of the
o. r & NJ, George F. Wright, the
Washington gulch rancher, a year age
this spring, sowed a field of alfalfa
with the dry seed which Mr.. Judson
imported from Germany and cultivated
it under the dry system.
Mr.. Wright reports now that this
alfalfa is growing and is higher and
healthier than the other alfalfa which
he is raising by irrigation. He is a
firm believer in the dry farming sys-
tenn as applied to bench lands and
looks for splendid results not only in
his immediate neighborhood, on his
own ranch, but all through the county
where others have tried the expert
ment.
The fact that this seed sprouted and
grew luxuriantly through all the dry,
wet, cold and snow of the past eight
months, fully demonstrates what can
be accomplished by scientific methods
M. S. Bond and other farmers east of
Baker City are also working on these
lines and are obtaining good results.
The Wright alfalfa experiment he
believed to be the first successful eff
fort made in this county.
