Enters Sixteenth Year.

With this issue THE STAR enters it's
sixteenth year. May IL, 1892, THE
STAR was launched on the journalistic
sea under its present management, and
while we have not been able to
please all The people at all times, yet
we have endeavored to give the read
ers of THE STAR all the news every
week. The paper has not been run
spasmodically. One evidence to us
that THE STAR meets with approval
is the fact that the paper enters its
sixteenth year with larger subscrip-
tion list-and more people who borrow
The STAR from their eighbors-than
it ever has had before. We have no
special promises to make for THE STAR
during its sixteenth year, but expect
to continue TO give our readers all the
news OF Importance of this community.

Fire at Desire Yesterday.

Four barns were burned at Desire
yesterday and had it not been for the
hard and heroic work of bucket bri-
gade the Wayne Hotel, w. [. Reeds
business place and other buildings
would have been devoured by the fire
fiend. 1t was hard and hot battle,
but the twenty or more men got the
fire under control before it caught the
Wayne Hotel barn and that is all that
saved the business places, for had the
hotel barn burned the men could not
have saved the other buildings. The
barns burned were only about twenty
feet apart and were owned by Steve
Roney, Frank Kelley, John Baisody
and August Danielson. The fire start
ed in Roney's barn, and as there was
considerable hay in the barns, it made a
hot and stubborn fire. 1t is supposed
that some boys were smoking in the
barn aud dropped lighted match in
the hay. Mr. Roney had small in
surance on his barn.

DEATH VISITS HOME
Little AlIeen Miller Passes Away
After Several Weeks
Illness.

The happy home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
P. Miller was darkened Sunday by the
death Of their little daughter, Aileen.
The child had been in falling health
for several months, and death was
caused by complication of peritonitis
and inflammatory rheumatism. The
funeral was held in the Methodist
Episcopal church at 9 o'clock this
morning, where a touching funeral
sermon was preached by the Rev. A.
G. Brackenbury.
Little Aileen had barely passed her
tenth birthday, and was bright and
promising child. Her death is sad
blow to her devoted parents, and the
sympathy OF the entire community
goes out to them in their great loss.
OF her brief and uneventful life and
her early death, it can be truly said
that "An angel visited the green earth
and took bright flower away"
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1907-07-09

The referendum petitions have been
knocked sky-high. Judge Galloway
holds that the failure to print the
warning against illegal signatures is
fatal to the free pass referendum, and
that the failure to copy the full and
correct title Of the University appro-
priation bill is fatal to that petition.
And thus the Populistic farce goes on.
The people did not understand the
initiative and referendum" when
they voted on it; they do not under
stand it now, nor is it probable that
they ever will. The changing of the
state constitution to suit the ideas of a
few visionary cranks and Populistic
dreamers was a sorry piece of foolish
ness, and one for which the people
will yet pay dearly. In adopting this
revolutionary amendment, the voters
thought they were giving themselves
more power: but now they find that
the initiative and referendum" is
bunglesome, impracticable measure,
without single redeeming feature in
its favor. Not one beneficial result
has it accomplished thus far, nor is it
likely that anything will come of it in
future save worry and expense. The
U'Ren- -Brownell outfit certainly hand
ed the young and progressive State of
Oregon a life-sized gold brick.

in a recent issue that no man is a
good citizen until he takes an active
interest in the welfare of the town no
man is a good citizen who regards the
town merely as convenient place in
which to live. No man is good citi
zen until he becomes jealous about the
town and all her material and moral
affairs. Every citizen ought to stop
