raise the $4,000 subsidy asked for
the Coos Bay railroad on condition
of its being built into that city.
The Roseburg people sent a com

$4,000 of it. The newspapers
there advised that this amount be
subscribed, and wholesale mer-
chants and others give assurance
that it will be. San Francisco is

TIE political fight at Washing
ton among the Oregon democrats
goes bravely on. Murphy and
Markley were supposed to hold an
lmpregnable position near tie ap-
pointing power, but another faction
of the party, under the leadership
of Fred Floed, made an assault
upon the Murphy Markley breast
works, and captured the special
Indian agency for Col. Lane. This
broke the power behind the throne,
and the Oregon straig ght-outs tax
ing courage from the success OF
the advanced. guard are hurrying
to the front. Col. Bob Miller is
now in command of a detachment
we'll IN the forefront Of battle and
after all he may be able to capture
more valuable prize than a bit
of cold turkey. The battle is now
progressing with fury within the
lines OF intrenchments. -
Later advices from the seat OF
war announce that uarrity, chair
man of the national central cQm-
mittee had come 10 the relief OF
the Murphy -3iarkley forces, that
the district attorneysllip had fallen
to Murphy and that he had there

ever, has lost the Marshaiship to

MCKINLEY RENOMINATED.


On June Sth, at Columbus, Nc
Kinley was renominated for gov
ernor Of Ohio. With superb elo-
quence he received the laurels Of
success, a presage, perhaps, of
higher honOrs to come. The
great protectionist was in magni1i-
cent form, and in accepting the
nomination as the republican can
Ididate for governor OF Ohio. viz
lually outlined tie declaration Of
principles by which he may be
| Judged as a candidate for the
presidency. La opening his ad
dress OF acceptance he said that
the nomination is both an honor
and one which imposed duty.
He might forego the honor, bat
could not refuse the duty. Con
tinuing, he challenged the demo
cratic party to battle on both
state and national Issues. He re-
viewed at length the financial
situation, pointing out that Cleve-
land first fixed the $1O0,O00,000
gold reserve as the lowest safe
limit, and, having erected the
danger signal, curiously enough
was the first to haul it down.
Was it 10 be wondered at that
people were distrustful, especially
in view Of the fact that the ad-
ministration had put forth no line
Of financial policy? If to day the
president would announce that
there would be 10 change in the
industrial legislation Of the
country and the financial situation
would be met and solved on the
standard Of financial honor and
national good faith established by
the republican party, confidence
would at once be restored. Cleye-
land says the Sherman silver bill
is the cause Of the depression,
but does not convene congress to
repeal it. Is this because he
thinks further financial distress
necessary to convince his party OF
the necessity Of such financial
legislation? If SO, democratic
ascendency Will prove costly

in their platform on the tariff, the

THE WOOL TRADE.


On account Of the attitude of |
the present administration in res
pect to duties on wool, the trade |
in that commodity is greatly |
demorliZed. and the condition OF
this market affects Oregon perhaps
more than any other one element)
of the tariff question. Secretary
CARLYLE is reported in the Boston
Commercial Bulletin (protection)
Of May 9th and the Boston Her
aid (democratic) Of May Goth to
have stated that ':free wool" would
be in operation within six months
OF the calling Of the special session.
The same issue of the latter jour
nal says, "a few steps more and
the entire domestic market will
be down to free wool. 1t is at
this basis that manufacturers and
dealers must buy wool or they
cannot afford TO touch it. Manu-
facturers are already proceeding
with the idea of wool as low as it
can be bought abroad, landed here,
minus the duty"
There seems little ground upon
which to base any hope for favor
able reaction in prices. The con
cIusions of most sellers are that,
with prices gravitating to free
wool values, the shipments which
are first in the market and first
sold will net better figures than
later shipments.
In an interview with one Of The
local wool dealers we obtained
some facts which show a disc0ur-
aging loss to the wool interests Of
the county i'll consequence Of the
threatened legislation affecting
that product. For the four years
preceding 1898 the prices paid on
June 10th for wool by the dealer
in Corvallis were as follows: In
1889, 90 cents; 1890, 81 cents;
1891, 90! cents, 1892, 185 cents,
making an average Of 20 cents for
the period of republican admin
istration. This year on June 10th
the same dealer is paying IL cents
which is all the market warrants.
| The decline from the average price
Of the past four years is 6 cents.
1t may be seen from the dealers
books that a certain farmer who
has been selling yearly about
, 1900 pounds of wool, will this yeal
sustain a loss of 500 on his aver
age yearly income. Another
: farmers income from wool will be
$3.50 less than usual; another
$72; another '$54; another $50, and
SO on. 1t is estimated that this
, year $4,000 pounds of wool viii
{ lie produced in this county, and
t the unsettled condition ct the
market will cause a loss Of $3.50;
to our wool growers. About the
7 same PERCENTAGE of loss will apply
to the entire wool product of the
/ state.
10 what extent the present
tariff schedules will be changed, i
at all, BY the democrats canno
s now. be foretod with certainty
2 but its first action will be in the
2 direction of placing raw material:
< on the free list. The threatened
? change is depressing all trades
? and the Mckinley act, so far as il
t relates to American wool, is practi
cally and in effect repealed now.

Working for Good Roads.

1t should be in the nature of an
encouragement to the public of
Maryland to know that other states
are working for good roads. A
road convention similar to that
which recently met in Baltimore
was held this week in St. Paul. and
action was taken toward the organi-
zation of state league to further
the canse in Minnesota. A bill con-
taini G many excellent features has
been introduced in the New York
Legislature, with reasonable hope
of its passage.
In North Carolina also a road
convention was held this week and
important action taken. The
meeting was opened by Governor
Carr, and he made telling adj
dress. A state league was formed
and suitable resolutions were
adopted. These embody a practi-
cal scheme of road building for the
Tar Heel State, and they are not
without interest in Maryland. 1t
is proposed to utilize convict labor
in the various counties as heretofore.
In addition, it is proposed to raise
revenue by taxation, and to under
take the matter of road construc-
ton in wise and liberal spirit.
One resolution asks that legisla-
ton be passed requiring comfy
commissioners to employ compe-
tent engineer, and that the roads
shall be built under his direction.
The purchase of road machinery by
the counties is recommended, and
the wastefulness of entrusting the
care Of the roads to incompetent
farmers or politicians IS condemned
in the strongest terms.
One feature of the proposed law
in New York is suggestive. The
county commissioners by majority
vote are authorized to select certain
highways-those most in usc-fcr
improvement first. BY this means
"main roads and those most i'm
portant to general traffic will be
constructed first, and the work will
then be extended from them. The
New York law also provides that
the counties may borrow money on
bonds at rate of interest not ex-
ceeding per cent. for road pur-
poses.
These facts are important as
showing what the people are doing
in other states, and they are exam
Piles which may be wisely followed.

MACADAM ROADS.
A Statement of Their Cost at the

A Statement of Their Cost at the
Union Bridge Farmers Club.
WESTMINSTER, Md, Jan. a.
The Union Bridge Farmers Club
met Friday at the residence OF
Franville S. Haines.
When the committee on roads
was called upon for report the
chairman pro tem., Mr.. Solomon
Shepherd, gave the following facts
respecting the Liberty and Pipe
Creek Turnpike Company:
He said: $50 many people speak
of macadamized roads as though
the building Of such roads is the
only cost, saying nothing about
keeping them in repair. To disa-
buse the minds of some people, |
have examined the treasurer's books
and learned that on the ten miles
of road embraced in this cor
poration there were expended
IN the last four years 81, 464,
an average of $1,116 per year
for the whole line, or an average of
$111 per mile. The road bed has
become very solid and requires less
repair than a newly constructed
road. The most of their stone are
put on at the very low rate of 80
cents per perch, broken and spread,
which can only be done for that
price where stones are very conve
nient. 1t would be safe to say,
taking whole county worked by
the average supervisor, that the
stone would cost 81 per perch. To
macadamize a road fourteen feet
wide with depth of stone in CEN
tire of fourteen inches, graded down
to six inches at the edges. requires
$500 perches of stone per mile.
which at 80 cents would cost 80, 900,
or at 81 will cost $4,000.
''Frederick county has about
1900 miles of county road lnde-
pendent of existing pixies, which, at
81, 500 per mile will cost 50, 900, 900
TO which add 100 miles of CORPORA
ton pixies, at $4,000, which will
make a,debt of So, 200, 900. To is
sue bonds for this immense sum Of
money at per cent. and keep the
roads in repair at the above esti-
mates would produce an annual
cost of 100000, which, upon the
taxable basis of $25, 100000 would
put upon the people of Frederick
county the enormous rate of $1.20
on the 500 for roads alone. 1t
was the judgment of the club that
to macadamlze few of the most
important roads and apply good
roadscrapers to the dirt roads gen
orally would be the extent to which
we can 60 at present; also that
bonds might be issued to limited
extent for this purpose.
