The hope of the futures greatest
development of Oregon lies in the
evolution of the small farm and the
intense methods of agriculture, and
the smaller political b-division of
the territory. And the tendency is
strikingly in this direction. Thro-
ughout the state the large ranches
are being divided into smaller tracts,
and there are movements under
way to create new counties from the
larger ones. Already the people of
Southern Lane and Northern Doug
las have Initiated bill for the coun-
ty of Nesmith, and the people of
Northern Grant are going to sub
nit proposition to divide the 1850
square miles within the boundaries
of that county. When it is realized
that the greater prosperity of the
state is found. in the area having
the smaller political subdivisions,
the reasons for giving these measure
support are apparent. 1t means a
Greater Oregon.

opportunity to raise potatoes and

Reply to Homesteader.

Editor LEADER:-Replying to the
Homesteader' article in the
LEADER of March A in which he
claims that only geography is to be
considered in forming school dis
tricts, daring anyone to publish a
map of the Newport district, etc.
| got the impression tnat school
districts are for school purposes (see
School Law, page 61 paragraph 141)
and that was the object in having
the half township annexed, to pro
vide for the education of the chill
dren in the territory and to collect
tax from the territory to pay for
the expense of their education, and
for their board when they were sit
uated too far from school to attend
from their own homes. We have
seven pupils from that territory in
the Newport school this year and
are paying board for all of them.
and this is the first and only pro-
vision that was ever made for the
education of children in that half
township.
The annexation of the territory was
duly advertised according to law.
The subject was before the boundary
board three different times during
three different months and wa.
legally disposed of by adding the
territory to the Newport district.
The County Court was not ma6-
lpulated and there was not and is
not anything unfair or unjust about
1T and whenever the Hon,esteader
or any else in that territory is
ready to propose any better arrange
ment for the education of the chill
dren in the territory no doubt the
boundary board and the County
Superintendent will make the
change.
The County Court stated at one
OF the meetings when this subject
was under consideration that it was
the intention of the Court to take
such action as would result in the
breatest good to the greatest number
The County Superintendent favored
the small and isolated districts and
the results was that of the districts
Offering to undertake to educate the
children in the territory not then
annexed to any school district.
The Newport district got the least
IN assessed valuation according to
the number of school children and
the most children that had to he

A dispatch was received in this

that Congressman Hawley's bill for
the relief of the homesteaders in the

VIII Represent Oakley.

S. =. Worthington, candidate
for county commissi )ner from
this district, has been apr pointed
by Mayor Lowe as delegate to
the Inter>M Mountain Good Roads
Associations first annual con
vention. to be held at Ogden
Utah, Sept. 1924 26, 1910. The
Associations motto is: Good
Roads for Good People," but
if we know Oakley's delegate at
all he will insist on good roads,
anyway. even if bad people have
to use them once in awhile. Mr..
Worthington will leave for Og~
den on the 22d, and is gratihed
at the honor of his appointment,
and, as the good-road profile m
is rather a hobby of his, there is
no question that this section will
receive proper representation and
recognition.
