UNFORTUNATE LOSS OF GOOD ROADS BILLS

It to be regretted that the good roads convention and
the hard work done by many citizens Of the state outside
of the legislature has all to naught. This is unor
tlnae as it will cause to Oregon the loss Of two years
time and a large amount Of development work in every
county in the state Could the good roads movement have
gone forward this year would have been Of the best
things that could have happened the state Just what
was the matter it will be hard to tell there four bills
passed and the governor seemed to take delight in placing
his veto each Of them 1t looks if chief executive
lacked the time the patience and to extent the de
sire to carefully 90 through the different bills and he,
therefore resolved to make short work Of them After
discussing in general way the good roads subject, he
concludes as follows.
"Under all the circumstances / am convinced that the
best interests of the state require that this subject and the
laws necessary for economical and effective operation
der this section of the constitution should have further
and much deliberate consideration by the people, and
especially by the legislative assembly"
Of course it is useless to find fault with what has been
done and yet is hard for the people to lose the two years
which must intervene before anything be done to
pair the disaster In this matter has bundered
for through the campaign and up to the time of the meet
ing of the legislature the good roads movement was the
most popular in the state. 1t should now be re-
ferred directly to the people and give them opportunity
to either pass the measure or reject it,

THE BORN RADICAL IN POLITICS

There are class of individuals who never get credl'
for the good they do in political movements and these are
the radicals 1t is safe to follow these people, OuI
for all that they have instituted reforms and made govern
ment worthy Of the age in which we 1--we. IL Is
undoubtedly true that the best results in legislation are
gained by compromise but good legislation would never
have been brought about had it been for the radicals
1t so natural for when they fail to get their way
in national state legislatures to cheerfuly accept COM
promise as a substitute for the radical measures adVo
Gated and opponents are for the reason induced to
take step forward for the sake of peace and harmony
Wehave fallen upon strange times and our government
is undergoing what must prove to be revolution StranGc
say we ever reach the old and smooth track where
harmony to be found and the best interests of the peo
pie are served without friction the credit will be due to
the radicals This class comes from school, but born
to take extreme positions all political subjects. 10
illustrate, it the anti-savery radicals who made the
United States worthy of the of republic But they
gained their highest good by compromise and this united
the people under new amendment to the constitution

THE EFFORTS BEING MADE FOR IRRIGATION.

The new board of directors of the Josephine rriga-
ton and Power Co. is composed of body of strong work
ers, and there is every to believe that they will
be able to show good results in the way of securing r
rgation in the very near future. During the past two
years the work of obtaining water tor the land of this
part of the valley has, to large extent been most dis
couragng Had it not been for the accident at the
Golden Drift dam year ago last November by which a
portion of that structure carried out farms would
now be under irrigation BY this means fully two wears
will be lost unless satisfactory arrangement for water
can yet be made with the minority stock holders of the
Golden Drift Dam This of course will depend ON thn
ability OF the receiver to have the repairs made in time
to furnish the water for the coming irrigation Scasol,
The new board of directors are now rugagud i'm thr inn

MUNICIPAL LIGHTING
PAYS 10 PER CENT

The opponents of municipal own
ership Of public utilities will do well
to turn their attention for a few
minutes to the city Of Pasadena.
That city owns and operates its
own electric light plant. Before the
city installed its own plant Its cit
liens were compelled to buy electric
ity from the Edison company.
As long as the Edison company
held an absolute monopoly 1t charged
the people OF Pasadena Is cents per
kilowatt hour claiming that 1t could
not reduce the price without incur
ring financial losses.
Then Pasadena installed its own
electric lighting plant The Edison
company Immediately cut its price
to 12h per kilowat hour
The city7owned plant was able,
however, to make a 7-cent rate and
It did so.
The Edison company further re-
duced It's rates, but after six
months Of successful operation the
city plant was able to reduce the
rate TO cents per kilowat hour
The Edison company promptly re-
duced its rate to cents, but It had
snned away its hour OF grace. The
people of Pasadena are buying their
electricity Of the city sat cents
rather than pay the Edison company
b cents.
In the first six months of It's oper-
atlons the city electric light plant
had ,42O customers. In the six
months from July /, 1910, to Janu-
ary /, 1911, the nupber has in
creased to A142. OF the number
, only lS7 quit the city service and
went back TO the Edison
In the last six months of the year
1910 the city plant was able to sup
.ply electric current for 3 cents per
knowat hour, pay all expenses OF
operation and earn a net profit of 1 d
per cent.
Thc Edison company claimed II
would lose money if it sold electric
- |currcnt for less than Is cents pen
l Nlovat hour Now It sells ii at 4
cents per hour

WHAT Is vINoI.?
II Represents Twenty Years Work OF
Two Eminent Chemists.


After twenty years OF study two
eminent French chemists discovered a
method By which the alkaloids or
medicinal elements of the Gods liver
might be separated from the useless
oil Or grease, retaining all the good
OF cod liver oil and dispensing with
the bad, as the Oil has no medicinal
value. These medicinal elements
blended with tonic iron and mild
medicinal wine make Vinol
Vinol is not secret medicine, as
its ingredients are printed on every
bottle, and in all cases where the
healing. strengthening influence of cod
liver oil is needed, vinol will give
better results, for 1t contains all the
curative medicinal properties OF cod
liver oil, but without the oil, and it
is easily assimilated and acceptable
to the weakest stomach.
For all rundown, weakened condi-
TONS and to cure chronic coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles. Vinol is
unexcclled. We sell It always with
the understanding that II 1t does not
do all we claim for It. we will refund
the money paid us for it. McGrath

icine Costs Nothing if it

When medicine effects a success

sorbed and by its therapeutic effect

tire mucous membraneous tract. to de-
stroy and remove the parasites which
injure the membraneous tissues. to

soreness, stop the mucous discharge,
build UP strong, healthy tissue and
relieve the blood and system of dis
eased matter. Its influence is toward
stimulating the muco-cells, aiding dI-
gestion and improving nutrition until
the whole body vibrates with healthy
activity In comparatively short
time it brings about noticeable gain
in weight, strength, good color and
feeling of buoyancy.

Tone. beginning a treatment today.
