GOOD ROADS AND THEIR VALUE.

Sensible Suggestions From One of the
Business Men.
ED. TINES -MouNTAINEER:
The absolute necessity of good roads
should be forcibly impressed on the
farming population of the locality
north and south of here, as well as
upon the merchants OF The Dalles.
All conceae nowadays the great
value of good roads. The initial ex
pense is the great impediment in the
way of procuring them. With blunt
ness of perception that is anything but
creditable, the farmer prefers to main
tain the old aud useless system OF
working out road TAX" under which
roads are kept in continuous di5repair.
Let the merchants argue the question
with their country customers.
Improved accessibility tells upon
every farm and adds to its value. Time
and money, which are usually equiya-
lent, are saved to the farmer, and to
all whose business it is to communi-
cate with him.
There is every reason to believe that
good roads would go far 10 effecting
desirable revolution by multiplying
inducements to the career of agricul-
turists. The vastly increased economy
and facility of haulage to shipping
points and the increased pleasures of
country life, which would be the out
come of good roads, would remove two
of the most potent causes OF the de-
cadence of farming.
Almost every farmer that comes to
our city has some complaint to make
regarding the condition of the roads
even in the immediate neighborhood,
yes, even within the city limits. These
conditions are most deplorable and the
Commercial Club should. unite with
the merchants and farmers and bring
about some reform pertaining to the
advisability of improving all roads
leading to the city.
The roads have been neglected for
some time past, and the season for
wheat hauling will soon be at hand,
and with poor roads the producers will
evidently look for some market that
will be more accessible ***

THE WOOL SITUATION.
Rather More Encouraging OUTLOOK for
Growers.

Growers.
The New York Wool Record of the
5th extends some encouragement to
wool growers that they will realize
better prices for their clips before the
end of the month. In reference to
the outlook, it says:
"While the depression In the wool
trade is as pronounced now as ever be-
conservative wool dealers who have
heretofore r1aintained a gloomy view
of the situLt",, now Express them
selves as firmly convinced that July
will mark the beginning of a general
improvement. The trade marvels at
the prolongation of the depression in
the face of the presence of such en-
coursging conditions. 1t is only a
question of couple Of weeks when
buyers will be prominent in the mar
ket. July is month in which manu-
facturers generally take a record of
their stock, which will be accompanied
by more active demand.
The situation in a nutshell de-
pends on the consumptive capacity of
the people for the goods. The country
is stronger today. both financially and
commercially, than it has been in
years, and the increased demands of
the people must be met. The present
situation represents a struggle be-
tween manufacturer and dealer, with
odds on the later. The manufacturer
must supply the couutry's demand for
woolens, and of course must have raw
material to do so. AS far as staying
qualities are concerned, the dealer has
the advantage.
Everything seems to indicate that
the people in general are more able,
financially, to absorb the products of
the wooden mills than they have been
at any other previous period in the
history of the country. The prospect
of another agricultural output of great
magnitude, and the outlook abroad
just the reverse, is sufficient to sustain
the assertion that the export trade for
the fiscal year will be equally as large,
if not larger, than the fiscal year 1898.
The exports of the manufacturers not
only exceed the figures of any other
year, but for the first time in the his
tory of the country exceed the imports.
This shows that pot only are American
manufacturers gaioing prestige in
foreign markets, but that domestic
consumption ls increasing as a re-
suit of the displacement of importa-
tions.
"The clip for the present year will
not be excessively large, and the fact
that the free wool imported has not
been increased to any extent from for
eign sources, would naturally lead one
to the conclusion that the supply of
wool in the country is considerably
below the average. Another strong
point in favor of woolens is the notice.
able decrease in the imports of
wooden goods, which has been more
pronounced recently than at any time
since the latter part of August. That
these foreign goods have been practic-
ally consumed is evident from custom
house statistics, which show that
slightly over 50, 600, 900 worth remains
in bond. An increased consumption
for domestic products, it is safe to as
sumo, viii follow the exhaustion of
foreign wool supplies"
