Editor Glacier;-l a recent pub
lication Of the Hood River News
notice that the editor endorses the
proposition that few large property
holders should have voting strength
equal to the balanoe Of the town, who
are small holders. Ii is long time
since we have heard Of man Nho as
sumes intelligence enough to edit a
newspaper who was willing to advance
such an argument. What condition
would we be in should few men who
own or control large property inter
ests (for which they are probably
largely in debit be iu position to
dictate to large nun ber of small
bouseholders, the majority of whom
own the own homes, how they should
he goveInedY The big property owner
goes 10 Portland for lew days to see
Ben Hur, etc, and he comes home
with brand new outfit for himself
aud family. The small home owner
stays at homo and works every day 80
that he can pay his bills. and spends
his money at home helping to build
up his home town. Who pays the
largest amount In water rates, the
small property owner or the large
oneH Who would contribute the most
toward paying for new plant. Not
the few large TAX payers, but the
small holders. Then why should not
the majority rule? again say, shame
to the man who would insinuate
otherwise. A Small Property Owner.

date, wherein their policy is clearly
to bring about the condition, that our
votes are to be counted according to

to place the voting OF large sums OF
money for public improvements in the
hands OF small tax payers, who are
more numerous bat do not own a ma.
Jority of the property to lie bonded, :"
as a proposition leading to condi.
tion that We denouDce as un Ameri-
can, by being contrary to the Decla-
ration OF Independence, contrary to

Oregon and contrary to American
freedom aud our public school system.

Before the next regular river and
harbor bill is framed by congress,
report will have been sub nitted
by the army engineers, passing upon
the necessity for a 30-foot channel
from Portland to the sea, and that
report will be accompanied by the
outline of a project and estimate Of
cost. If the report is favorable, It
will be binding upon congress, and
1t is reasonable to presume that the
new work will be started under au-
thorlty contained in the bill.

TRY TOBACCO TO DlSPLACE COTTON

Beebe, March That there is money in burley tobacco is the belief of many farmers in this vicinity who will experiment this season with the crop. While desultory attempts to rsise to- bacco in other parts of the state have been made and with fair success in some instances the experimenting of the farmers in this vicinity possesses added in- terest to farmers in other por- tions of the state, from the fact that the conquest of the boil weevel over the cotton fields of Arkansas within the next two years is declared by experts to be inevitable and the only remedy is said by those same experts to be the diversifying of the crops. Finding a substitute crop for cotton is not an agreeable pursuit to many farmers, but if tobacco raising is found to offer opportu- nity for satisfactory profits the material for plugs and stogies will doubtless be drawn from the soil of Arkansas in large quanti- ties.
 Seed enough to plant 300 acres has been brought here from the heart of the hurley tobacco district of Kentucky by R. M. Renaker, cashier of the Farmers State Bank, who recently came here from Kentucky and was at

Mrs. Mendelsohn has been a widow for a number of years.
 Seven years ago her son, Jacob, went away with a carnival com pany, and has only been home once or twice since that time. A few years ago his mother lost track of him. Up to that time he had been in different branches of the amusement business, and his mother could not imagine what had become of him. She and her daughter were astonish- ed when his form came into view in one of the scenes at the Florida resort. She telegraphed to the resort and found he was there. He is manager of the ostrich farm.

1t quite frequently falls to our lot to sit
in the pews with the congregation. and It
is not at all conducive to a pious and
peaceful frame of mind, such as one
ought to have when trying to worship
God, to sit behind rows of hats that
spread themselves like green bay trees or
circus tents. One feels like taking a shot
at them with a hymn book and humbling
their lofty pretentiousness and pride in
the dust.

It's hard enough to get people, esPe-

There ought to be law on the statute
books to prevent the sale Of morphine or
cocaine except upon a physicians pre-
scription. The law now simply provides
that records Of sales of these poisonous
drugs must be kept by the druggists.
There is nothing much worse than the
drug habit. A man will do anything to
get more when the habit once gets'a good
hold. He will injure his best friend to
get the money to buy more. Every few
days there are examples of the working of
the poisonous drugs which slide person
into the seventh heaven for the time be-
ing only to leave him in a pitiable state
which can only be removed by the use of
more. Recently in county court, in this
county, a once bright man, a school
teacher and q scholar, was found not
guilty Of an assault fer robbery by reason
OF insanity. He was q drug fiend. Only
this week a young woman but thirty
years of age tried suicide in Barre by an
overdose OF morphine and she had plenty
in her possession. A few years ago she
tried the same thing in this city and was
