formed the Cascades and these great
Puget Sound counties, any one OF
which according to Mr.. Hill, Will sup

other counties where now there Is
nothing but waste-that in fact it is
right at this time, forming new
county, or island. up in the Behrine

us to do much worrying on Her ac-

A good newspaper is better than
just an ordinary preacher. Ii you
don't like what the paper says you
can consign it to the fire. If you

of fairness in it's criticism of Senator
Browns proposed route for the state
road. We wanted to be fair, and We
