What Good Roads Would Mean.

They would make it possible for the
farmer to take advantage promptly Of
the highest market, no matter at what
season of the year.
They would save him days and weeks
of time which he wastes every year
wallowing through the disgusting mire
of dirt roads.
They would reduce to minimum the
wear and tear on wagons and carriages.
They would lessen the expense in
keeping horses in working order, and
vastly less horses would be required in
the country to perform the farmers
work
They would require less expense to
keep them in repair than do the dirt
roads.
They would make it easier for team
to pull several tons over their smooth
surface than to drag a wagon through
the mud.
They would afford ready communica-
ton with the outside world at all times
of the year.
They would spare the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand for
country and suburban property.
They would be free from dirt in sum-
mer and mud and ruts in fall, winter
and spring
They would bring every farming COM
munity into closer social relations.
They would make an evening drive a
pleasure instead of a vexation, as it is
now.
They would do away with the absurd
poll tax and supervisor system in places
where it is still in use.
They would be, in short, the best pos
sible investment to the taxpayer if built
and cared for by the national govern
ment and paid for by national tax.
All these they would do unless ex-
perience goes for naught. World.

The Use of the Grader.

A correspondent of the Sturgeon (Mo.)
Leader makes this suggestion: Unite
three road districts into one; put in one
overseer; let the contract for running a
grader from the LIST of April to the LIST Of
October; collect half the poll tax in
money; work out the rest repairing cul-
verts and where they cannot work the
grader. The cost of running the grader
will amount to about 800; the cost Of
two extra graders will amount to $3.50;
half of the poll tax about $3.50; save the
pay Of two overseers-about $120; total,
$3.50. This will work the roads in proper
time at less expense than they are
worked at the present time. Run a
grader five months and it will fix all the
roads in three districts in one summer"

Property Values Enhanced.

In New Jersey in one county where
only forty miles of good road has been
built, the value of land has advanced
enough to pay the whole expense with
out increasing the rate of taxation. In
Ohio where the system has been adopted
the farms adjoining have increased ten
dollars per acre in value. Such an in
crease from the same cause in Ontario
county would raise the value of farms
100000. In Indiana where macadam
roads have been built there is large
and increased demand for buggies and
wagons. In short, in every locality
where these improved roads have been
built there has been an increase in the
value of property.-Harper's.

COL. JAMES TAYLOR.

The death of Colonel Taylor will cause
universal sorrow throughout the city
and this whole section Of oregon.
Added to the pain the sudden announce
ment of his DEATH brings to his old
friends and neighbors, is the reflection
that had he been spared but little
longer he might have seen the fruitlon
OF his nrany years Of hope and labor
for the development OF Astoria and
Clatsop county. He was perhaps the
best known, and was among the most
highly esteemed OF the remaining few
first settlers Of the North Pacific coast
region. With every successive step Of
Oregon's advancement and progress fos
the past fifty years he has been more
or less prominent figure. The rectltude
OF his private life and character needs
no eulogdum among his fellow citizens
VINO nave KNOWN ana respected hlm
so long. The attempt by any mere ex.
preston OF sympathy to reconcile the
bereaved sons and daughters Of such
a father TO their loss, would be both
weak and lmpotent. Time alone will
be their effectual, as 1t always is the
universal healer. Astoria will miss the
stalwart form and CHEEKY voice OF her
oldest citizen, but the impress Of his
useful life and public example wdll be
felt upon her future for years to come
Elsewhere we print brief account OF
the life and history OF Colonel Taylor,
and we have been promised the taeis
and materials for an extended blogra-
ply later on.

MIR. Fox's LETTER.


WIS publish this morning a communl-
cation from Mr.. John Fox, which set
ties all question as to the attitude and
intention of that gentleman respecting
the City Republican ticket.
While Mr.. Fox has had occasion to
feel disgruntled and disafected towards
at least a portion of the ticket. with the
spirit Of frankness and courage so char
aoter1stic of the man. he wastes no
words in needless apologies or explana-
tions, but comes out directly and strong
ly for the election of the whole ticket.
Believing the vinddcation and enforce
ment Of the great principles and time
honored forms of the Republican party
more important than the satisfaction
Of individual resentment-however just,
he hastens to acknowledge his obllga-
tion to stand by the men who represent
the dignity of the organization, and
to yield due allegiance to the action
Of its regular convention.
Mr.. Fox's letter is credit to him; and
his example, with his words of advice
and warming to those sowing seeds La
BILE to rlpen into future discord in the
party, will go far to ensure the trlum-
phant election of every candidate on
The ticket next Wednesday.
