Management Of Marion County Az

stantial Lines That are for the
Public Good.

Marion county has had what might
be called safe, sane and conservative
government present county court is
composed of County Judge william
Bushey and Commissioner Beckwith
and Goulet. In 1908 this county court
took the affairs Of the county in hand
when it had about 100000 debt They
wiped out the debt and since then
have proceeded to run the county on
cash basis They have kept within
their estimates and have held down
the county tax. A flood last winter
caused about $4,000 unusual expenses
that has put them behind a little, but
they will soon catch up. The county
is managed on the budget system, and
It's estimates for the colmng year are
all figured down as close as possible
and then a tax is ieyled to meet them.
The county court has adopted pro
gressiye policies in many ways. They
have spent some money to give pub

Millions to Be Spent
By Railroad Companies
The Coming Year

That the railroads have kept the
money financial condition OF Oregon
far ahead Of what II would have been
without these great developing aids is
not doubted by any with a passing
knowledge OF conditions here. That
the railroads are going to continue
to pour the funds from their Golfers
into this state and that next year Is
going to be the banner year for rail-
road building In this state is also ad-
mitted by those who have taken a
passing interest in things of this
nature.
Some idea Of the vast amount OF
money expended here in the past and
that will be expended in this state
during the next twelve months may
be gained by the following figures
given as very conservative estimate
of what may be expected from the
great corporations now doing so much
for the development OF the hitherto
GHdeveloped portion of this state:
Oregon viii have more railway con-
struction money disbursed here next
year than at any period in her history

county. and have put up splendid
exhibit at the state fair, and in other
ways helped to bring in large numbers
of new settlers.
In construction work Marion county
has adopted more permanent policies.
Concrete foundations are being put In
for all bridges, nearly all the culyerts
are constructed OF concrete, all the
bridges fifty to one hundred feet long
are covered over and painted SO that
they will last from fiftysto,a hundred
years. Bridges Of one hundred feet
span or over are built Of concrete and
steel. A fine steel and concrete bridge
has been built across the Santlam at
Jefferson that will be OF no further
expense to the county except for
painting and flooring. At Stayton
concrete foundations have been put
in for another large bridge and the
steel superstructure will go on in
1912.
In its road policies in the absence
OF a state law the county court has
been conservative, but this year the
levy for road purposes will be in
creased from one and half mills to
three mills, but this levy does not fall
upon cities and hence the tax will be
distributed to the road districts where
1t is raised The county court is
thinking of buying a road drag and
retaining enough money ont Of the
three mill levy to have the roads
properly dragged after the rains.
There has been great deal of good
road work done in many parts OF the
country, and as soon as state law
has been enacted the Marion county
court will be ready to do its share in
the construction of permanent high
ways.

WALL coLoRs AND LIGHT.

In painting or papering the walls
of a room the question often arises
what color reflects the most and what
the least light? Recent experiments
in Germany gave the following re-
suits: Dark blue reflects 6I2 per
cent. Of the light falling upon it;
dark green about 10 per cent; pale
red a little more than 16 per cent. !;
dark yellow, 20 per cent; pale blue,
80 per cent; pale yellow, 40 per
cent; pale green, 4615 per cent. ;
pale orange, nearly 55 FER cent. !
pale white, 70 per cent. Glossiness
and yarnish increase the amount Of
light reflected.

These are known as live and dead
glaciers; the dead glaciers are a mass
of snow and ice, which has accumu-
lated between gorges for a million
years or more, and have become so
condensed that you could not pene-
trate the mass except by steel drill.
The live glaciers are those that break
off and fall into the waters and be-
come floating masses of ice often in

sun can strike a spot the trees, which
are Of dense growth but small,

HIS INITIALS IN THE DiRT
Little Scheme of the Late Marshall
Field to Stimulate Stock Boys
Energies,

A story is told Of the late Mar
shall Fields ability to restimulate
the energies of listless subordinates.
A stock boy in Fields store, who is
now trusted manager, had been in
the habit of sighting his duties,
which were principally the regular
dusting of the stock in his section.
One day Mr.. Field in passing
through this section of the store
ehanced to note the dusty condition
of the lids Of number of hat boxes.
lie paused, bent down and wrote his
initials in the dust on several boxes
and then walked away. The stock
boy from a remote corner happened
TO notice the master executive hover
ing around the stock shelves. Soon
afterward the lads eyes fell upon
several potential looking NJ. F.'s on
(ust-ridden lids. As he stared he
lnetaphorieally heard the voice Of
the house admonishing him and he
mentally absorbed its meaning and
significance. 1t is needless to say
that he exercised the feather duster
more assiduously after that.-Busi-
