The present agitation in favor of n
better system of making and maintain
ing county roads ought to result in some
thing more than mere talk. The insult
hciency of our present methods is fully
admitted. In point of fact we have no
roads in Oregon-at least scarcely any.
Most of them are mere trails, some of
them 'slides," scarcely any are worthy
of the name of roads. Our methods of
repairing could not be worse. Repairs
are hardly ever made at the right time
or in the right way. In the summer
time, after the crops are in the ground,
little dust is scraped or shoyeled in the
ruts, to be churned by passing wagon
wheels and blown away by the wind.
This churning goes on during the long,
dry summer, and by the time grain
hauling is half through the roads are
practically impossible except at great
risk to wagons and drivers. During any
rainy winter when the ground is not froz-
en- and always after the spring thaw-out
there is time when hauling heavy loads
is not to be thought of. Road-super-
vising is a thankless task and the aver
age supervisor is glad to get through
with it. This last remark applies still
more forcibly TO the average worker-out
of road tax. Oregon has tried this sys-
tenn long enough. We never will have
better roads till we adopt a new system.
The CHRONICLE believes that our roads
should be kept up by direct taxation
and that something ought to be done at
the next legislature to pass a law to
that effect.

The fact is, the CHRONICLE, although
the opposition boat pretends to be a
public enterprise and the editor of the
Times Mountdineer owns 5000 in the en-
terprise, receives every dollar that is
paid out for job work. No benefit, ex-
cept the regular advertisement, is re-
ceiyed by the other papers in this city.
Please Mr.. editor of the r. NJ say
nothing more about owning 900 worth
of stock in the opposition boat" You
don't oOn a beams acorlh, and neuer in
vested a cent IN the enterprise. You
know how wicked it is to lie. Now
please don't say anything more about
that 1900 or you'll hear something you
don't want the public to know. The
CHRONICLES does not want to say an
other word but you will not be allowed
. 10 sail under false colors. So far as the
printing is concerned if IL was worth a
thousand dollars minute the CHRoN-
IcLE deserves it every cent. To give
any of it to the other papers OF this city
would be treason-giving comfort and
-succor to the enemy.

THEY KILLED THE BEAR.
Two PluciSy Boys and an Old Blunderbuss
Brought Brnin 10 Earth.


Game in this vicinity is very plenty,
writes L. b. c., from Andoyer, IN the Ken;
nebec Journal. In fact, for deer and
bear il is a veritable sportsmen's paradise.
Go outside the village a half mile and you
can seen deer-tracks crossing and recros-
sing in all directions.
know OF no better place in Maine for a
weeks sporting tour than this. A tramp
of two or three miles is all that is neces-
sary to bring you into the very heart of a
splendid game country. The man who
cannot bag deer ora bear must indeed be
poor hunter.
thirteen and fourteen, started out from
the village on "a grand bear-hunt,h as
they termed it. They were. armed with
one cur-dog and an old-fashioned flint
lock pistol.
The first day they tramped ten hours
without seeing any game and then camped
out on the ground Ia the woods. In the
morning they were up and of again with
unhagglng zeal and courage.
About noon they heard the dog barking
violently, and retracing their steps they
found that the canine had freed an I'M
mense bear. The boy who held the pistol
took deliberate aim and pulled the trigger;
A fash in the pan was the only result, and
after several Intellectual attempts to dis
charge the thing they held council Of
war.
In the mean time the bear showed di =
position 70 come down and take hand In
the deliberations.
The boys hastily primed the blunderbuss,
and this time it went on, knocking the
young hunter over backward and appa-
rently doing no damage TO the bear. Again
the boys consulted, and after about halt
an hours work they succeededin reloading
the ancient fremarm.
As chance would have it the next bull
let struck the bear exactly in the heart,
killing him instantly and bringing him to
the ground. He was a magnificent specl-
men, weighing $50 pounds, and his pelt
alone brought his captors Si5. That isthe
sort of boys they raise up here in AndoYer.
