BRAVE LAWT0N.

In the death Of Major General
Henry w. Lawton, who was killed
by Filipino sharpshooter at San
Mateo, Luzon, Tuesday, the country
suffers the loss of the greatest gem
eral produced by the late war. He
was man of magnificent courage,
and his every act proclaimed the
soldier. Entering the Union army
at the outbreak of the civil war as
first lieutenant of volunteers, he
fought through that awful struggle,
and its close found him a first lieu
tenant in the regular army. He
rose gradually through the various
ranks, and was Colonel Lawton at
the outbreak Of the war with Spain.
He was appointed brigadier-gen-
sral of volunteers and commanded
one wing of our army during the
assault and capture of El Caney
and San Juan Hill, and his services
that day made him major-general.
Lawton won a medal of honor for
services in the civil war, and he it
was who ventured alone into Geroni-
mos camp and secured the surren-
der of this willy savage and his
band. At the time of his death,
the war department was preparing
his commission as brigadier-gen-
eral in the regular army.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

At the election next June the
citizens of this state will be required
to vote on five proposed amend
ments to the state constitution.
The makers of the constitution eyi-
IDENTIFY intended that no alteration
or amendment should be made
without due deliberation, for they
provided that an amendment
should be submitted to and approx
ed by the legislature and again
by it's successor before it could be
submitted to the people for ratifca-
ton or rejection.
The amendments to be acted on
in June are as follows:
1st To prevent counties, cities,
towns or school districts from in
curing Indebtedness in excess of
five per cent of the valuation of the
taxable property therein.
End To provide fer increasing

The Oregon Agriculturist is au.
thority for the statement that the
production of wheat for the state OF
Oregon for the past ten years has
increased more proportionally than
the population. The census Of 1890
gave the total production of wheat
In Oregon for 1899 at s,29S, ,224 bu-
shells. Four counties each produced
over one million bushels. These
were Umatilla, with 1,642,3Y8 bus
hels; Linn, 1, 1,116.O74 bushels; Mar
ion, 1,1O9,755 bushels, and Polk,
1,Ol4,5S0 bushels. At that time
Eastern Oregon produced only one
third of he wheat crop of the state.
In the ten years which have elapsed
wheat production has tended rather
to decrease than to increase in the
Willamette valley but has greatly
increased in Eastern Oregon.
Sherman county, which has for a
number of years produced more
wheat than any county in the
Willamette valley, raised only 14s,
891 bushels in 1889. The total
yield in Eastern Oregon for 1899
was considerably more than twice
as much as in 1899.

ROADS AND ROAD LAWS.

The approach Of winter with
heavy rains, effecting the condition
of the roads to the inconvenience of
all, terves as reminder of much
that has been said concerning the
road laws of Oregon. Such laws
from time to time have been con-
demned by many, and while there
seems to be some reason for such
adverse criticism, yet when taken
as whole, the present road laws
do not seem nearly so bad as the
methods of carrying them into
effect. To persons who do not care
: for good roads, or do not wish to
work them, or pay in lieu thereof q
road tax to improve them, almost
any law on the subject is bad or
subject to severe criticism.
The present laws are such that
the roads may be improved by Ia
Dor put thereon by the several in
habitants and property owners of
each district, or if the county court
Of any county shall decide that it
is for the best interests Of the
county, the court may levy a tax
not exceeding five mills upon all
the taxable property Of the county,
and poll tax of two dollars upon
every person who shall be liable to
pay state poll tax, to be collected at
the time other county taxes are col
lected, to be used exclusively for
road purposes.
When a tax of this nature is de-
cided upon and assessed and col
lected, it is to be apportioned to the
several road districts in the county
by the county court. No other
taxes for road purposes shall be
levied or collected, where the meth
cd last stated is adopted, except
that the county court may order
bridges built or repaired out of the
general fund. There is still anoth-
er provision which authorizes the
county court to spend not to exceed
three mills on the dollar of all tax
able property in the county from
the funds of such county, levied
and collected for county purposes.
The statute also provides that
when a majority of the resident
land owners Of the county, whose
lands are within three miles of
proposed improvement to county
road, shall sign and present a pc
tition to the county court asking
that certain improvements be made
to certain portion of road, after
certain conditions expressed in the
law are complied with, the court
has authority to order the improve
ment made, the cost of improve
ment to be paid from assessment
levied upon the lands within three
miles of the proposed improvement,
or the county court may pay not to
exceed one half of the amount out of
the general funds of the county,
thus lessening the amount to bepaid
by the lands. The numerous
methods which the law provides for
improving roads seem sufficient.
The fault appears to be a general
neglect in pursuing the methods
provided to carry out the laws we
have.
