~ CoHrARIsox.-Mess Froman and
Freeiand, who have just returned from q
trip over the Eugene and Goose Lake Wag.
on Road, of which there has been so much
blowing about by its ownera, pronounce i,
one Of the worst roads they eyer travelled
The bridges are broken down, the grades
unworked and uncared for and the hills al.
most insurmountable. The few settlers
along the line of tho road have de-paired oi
the route ever amounting to anything and
are preparing to abandon their isolated
claims for more congenial and habi,able
cline and as the Goose Lake country is
now found to be n failure, there will be no
possible inducement to keep the road up or
make it passablc. Mr.. Froman says that
route is no more to be compared to the Viii
lamette Valley aud Cascade Mountain Ruai
than is pack train trail to macadamiz..l
tnrnpike.

SHADE TREEs.--Thc last meeting Of the
Portland City Council took active measures
- insure the planting of shade trees through
out that city. This is certainly good
move, and the example deserve to be fol.
loved by the other young cities of our State.
There is nothing that can at such trifing
expense enhance the value of property and
add to the beauty Of its surroundings rs the
plasiting Of shade trees. Our city is greatly
deficient in this feature of Improvement, and
we hope that active means will be soon ta.
ken 10 insure the needed reform.

Address L. A. Cooley. Philadelphia, Pa.
TIE CHAMPION BUNMER.-A man had the
impudence to tell US the other day that he
would subscribe for the DEMOCRAT were il
not that he could borrow it from his nearest
neighbor ] We would just as soon think o.
borrowing a neighbor's tooth. brush or his
wig as the paper which he takes and pay,
for. Don't lend your paper, but mako the
bummipg cusses subscribe for one of theil
own.

old Jail to use as a calaboose. This indeed
looks like "biz."
