PLANS REFORM
IN COUNTY
PHILLIPS PROPOSES TO GIVE
PEOPLE CONTROL OF ROAD
WORK IN SPITE OF DEFEAT
or TOWNSHIP AMENDMENT.

Although the township govern
ment proposition has probably
been defeated this election, by fail
ing in majority of all votes cast,
the people will be given county
government of roads insofar as
possible. according to ]. S. Phillips,
Ommissfoner-elect. 9s
''Under the old system in vogue
with the present board" he said
today the road districts are look
ed after. by four supervisors on a
salary of "a day. Under these
four are IL other men. The four
make the rounds of the districts
and recommend repairs.
Il propose to divide the county
into "a districts and allow the peo-
pie of each district to name a
supervisor in whom they place
trust. There will be no bosses.
Each supervisor will be held re-
sponsible to the board and to the
people of his district. The board
Will name whoever the people Sc
-lect. In this way believe the
roads Will be better taken care of
and things will be more satisfac-
tory all around. The law gives the
county board the right to appoint
supervisors as I suggest. We are
going to have a strictly business
administration of those and all
other affairs"
Mr.. Phillips has been council
man for several years, and on &C.
count of familiarity with public
work, is ably fitted for his new
position. His announcement with
regard to road supervision and
board meetings are suggestions of
improvement on the old conditions.

HINkLE LEAD
INCREASES

Late returns indicate a much
larger vote for Judge j. d. Hinkle
for the superior bench than he was
at first supposed to have received.
His majority over William K.
Richardson, the fifth candidate in
the race, will run to about 5000.
Judge Richardson lost heavily be-
cause of errors in placing on the
stickers bearing his name. 1t is
estimated that over 500 of the
stickers were placed after the
Judges of the supreme court in
stead of after the judges of the
superior court.
In many precincts with large
democratic vote Judge Richardson
received but sle1der support, due,
it is believed 40 not having the
stickers or lack of knowledge OF
how to vote them properly. Even
all the socialists of the county,
which following brought out Judge
Richardson originally, did not sup
port him because of some misun'
derstanding as to the use of the
stickers. East Hillyard precinct,
with IA socialist votes, gave only
nine votes to Judge Richardson.
Five Mile had seven Debs votes
and only four Richardson votes.
Greenacres had FIVE Debs votes
and only two for Richardson.

socket of the hip, which are made
SO smooth and are so we'll oiled

The heart is the most perfect
pumping machine in the world. No
inventor has ever surpassed it, and
none ever will. 1t is a double, and
for it's size is more powerful by
1000 per cent than any made by
engineers.
Not only this, but nature has
provided it with the most perfect
oiling machine in the world. Both
the heart and the lungs-the latter
the most perfect air bellows ever
devised-are surrounded by a dou-
BILE sac. Between the thin layers
there is placed an inexhaustible
quantity of lubricating material
which enbales two two organs to
go on ceaselessly without intermis-
sion for from 60 to 100 years.

For instance, when we are excft-

blood storage cistern which inter-

the brain is likely to suffer from an
insufficient supply, the storage els
tern gives up it's surplus of blood.

1t is the function of the epiglottis
to close the windpipe automatically

Do the people of Pendleton want to
have a branch asylum located here
or in this vicinity? If so. such an in
stiiution may seemingly be had, pro-
vided proper steps are taken in the
matter
! At the present time the asylum at
Salem is overcrowded and for some
time past the idea of a branch asylum
in eastern Oregon has been discussed.
Upon good authority 1t Is said that
| DR.. h. Il. L. Steiner, superintendent
at the asylum, is favorable to branch
institution this side OF the mountains
| For two reasons II is urged there
should be an asylum this side of the
| Cascades. Perhaps the most import
ant one is that the climatic conditions
at Salem are bad for many patients,
The brisk CHEEKY climate of bunch
grass would bring many back to men
tai health more quickly than will the
fog of the Willamette valley.
The other argument in favor of a
branch asylum is that by having one
this side the mountains the state
would be saved the expense of trans
porting patients from this portion of
the state to Salem.
Under a constitutional amendment
which was drafted by Senator C. ].
Smith of this city, 1t Is now possible
to locate state institutions at other
places than the state capital. How
ever, appropriations for such institu-
tions must be submitted to the peo-
pie for ratification.
Should branch asylum be created
for eastern Oregon it will very prob
ably come here because this place is
by far the best point, geographically
speaking.
Up to this time nothing has been
done towards presenting bill for
branch asylum at the coming session
OF the legislature. However, the
members OF the Umatilla delegation
have talked the matter to some ex-
tent.
According to Senator Smith, senior
member OF the delegation, it may be
possible to secure the branch asylum
provided there Is a sufficiently strong
sentiment in favor of it. However,
he does not wish to take the matter
up, nor do his colleagues, unless
local people manifest some enthusi-
asm upon the subject and are willing
to do the work that will be required.
