ANOTHER NEGLECTED COUNTY

A Polk county paper says that
county Is one OF those which will have
to pay its share Of the four million
dollar appropriation and get abso-
lutely nothing in return. Linn county
is in practically the same position as
Polk. OF course, each county has to
help keep up state institutions though
not having any themselves, and yet it
is not always a pleasant task when
one sees a spirit Of local gain and not
one Of general public good in the i'm
proyements paid for. Linn county
sends about $55,OOO down to Salem
this year for the benefit OF Salem,
Eugene, Corvallis and few other
places, and of course, to help keep the
machinery Of the government run

TAKE WISE STEP.

The Polk County Mohair Association
has taken a long step forward this
year in arranging for the division in
to a number Of grades Of the mOhaiE
to be ineluded in its pool. 1t does not
60 as far in this direction as it will be
necessary to do in the future. but the
fact that a good start has been made
in the right direction is encouraging.
When all mohair in a pool is sold at
the same price, there is no incentive to
improve the quality Of mohair.-Rural

The news from Washington that
applications for patents to public
lands are to be hastened with the
greatest possible expedition will bring
gladness to the hearts Of the settlers
who have complied with the land laws

their lands. By this order, it is esti-
mated that the greater part Of !, 900, 900
acres of the public lands in this state,
