GOOD ROADS EVERYoNE's
GAIN. BUT NO ONES LOS


The immense gain to this city 20
be expected from good, low grade
roads does not mean loss TO the small
sr towns surrounding. Quite on the
contrary. It will be a gain TO them
also
The gain Is on the cost OF market
ing farm produce and the consequent
increase Of the amount marketed.
The farmer is the greatest beneficiary
under the plan because thereby the
efficiency Of his labor IS increased.
The case Is like reduction of the
friction in machinery The power is
not only more economically applied
but the machine is not subjected to
so lruch wear and tear No one
loses but everyone gains
This is exactly the case with good
wagon roads It is a case Of every
ones gain, but no ones loss.
One Of The very large items Of gain
is the increase in the value Of farm
lands A good low grade wagon road,
over which to haul the grain to mark
ct. means a decided gain IN the value
OF farms in any neighborhood
The first idea is to get good trunk
roads and then build extensions max
ing a complete system.
The plan OF building roads not fix
ing them is constantly growing in
favor The people have grown tired
Of fixing roads.
Good substantial bridges and cul.
verts that will only need building
once are. in the long run, the great
est economy there are roads in
Italy and other parts Of Europe which
We're built by Julius Caesar which
are stil good roads and bid fair 70 be
such 10 the end Of time with reason
able repairs
There is net a great need to do
much talking on this subject, only
enough to formulate plans, but there
is urgent need for action
The Commercial club is leading in
the right direction and Ex-Governor
Barnes should meet with a hearty re
sponse to any meetings he may call
for the consideration OF this urgelt
subject.
No better index for the enterp Use
Of a commsi.ity can be found than in
the condition of its roads.

The horse-pickling works at Linn
ton will probably resume operations by
the middle of next month. This state
ment, in face of the fact that Oregon
cayuse ponies are meeting a better de-
mand now than for many years, seems
odd, but It is true-and there is good
reason for it.
While 10000 or more COW ponies
have gone from the ranges of eastern
Oregon this year to supply the needs
of the British armies in South Africa
and thousands are yet to go, and the
price paid has been very satisfactory
to the producer, the fact remains that
sret numbers of scrub ponies are left
on the ranges-ornery, unbroken, in
traGtable, useless little brutes, consum-
Ing feed that ought to go to the fat
tening of meat cattle. The British
army will take smaller animals than
will find a ready market elsewhere,
but they must be sound and well bro
ken to ride. Thousands of the cayuses
will not meet these specifications. Not
only will they not bring $35 each from
the British, but they are not wanted
at any price-by the British OF any
body else. They are either not sound
of wind and limb, or are untamable,
or both. They are a drug on the mar
ket. They belong to anybody who
cares to put a brand on them. They
are wild horses, and nobody wants
them; but each Of these animals takes
as much range as would be required
for the s~pstenance Of a steer that will
dress 1000 pounds. The stockmen
want the range for their cattle, and the
railroad companies are glad to assist
in taking the useless cayuse ponies
out Of the country, so there will be
more room for stock that will yield
money to producers and carriers.
Therefore the railroads are willing to
make a very low rate for carrying the
cayuses to the Linnton abattoir, and
the movement thither will soon be re-
sumed.
The average cayuse pony taken to
the Linnton abattoir yields only about
sixty pounds Of m~erchantable meat.
the rest OF the carcass going into fer

FLOOD I'm VENICE
Lisht-Hearted Population Has q Merry Time.

What a fog is to London a flood is
to Venice. 1t interrupts routine and
discrepancies everything. The COMPARE
son ends there and does not extend to
vital statistics. The fog is noisome;
the food is an occasion of merrymak-
ing. A Venice correspondent sends us
a little impression of a recent food
experienced there. When the bland
wind to which Venice owes her mild
winter is persistent the tides are SO af-
fected as to arrest the flow of water
from the narrow canals to the lagoons.
The wind brings rain, which, being
continuous, assists to raise the water
level.
In the recent flood. the halls of
houses and entrance steps of palaces on
the Grand canal were submerged; the
piazza was inundated and lay like a
mirror under St. Marks, whose ala
baster and porphyry and golden, blue
and red mosaics shone as If freshly
washed. The atrium was under the
food, which washed the stored sar-
cophagi of the early doges. The black

In regard to the most approved meth

These data were cor1piled from several
hundred novels ana romances, the OBJ
1ect being to show how men propose
and how women receive the proposals.
From 100 typical cases Of accepted
declarations of love, the statistician
obtained the following figures: Eighty
one of the 100 men vowed that they
could not live any longer without the
adored ones; 70 held the ladies' hands

Some Long Campaigns.

The campaigns in South Africa and
the Philippines may seem long drawn
out, but for wars of long duration and
desultory fighting Europe holds the
palm. A singular discovery has just
been made by a French journal. When
Napoleon /. was waging war against
Prussia in 1907 he exacted tribute from
various towns, among them Konigs-
berg. This town now finds that the
debt which should have been extin-
guished in 1914 has been extended ow-
ing to unforeseen circumstances" and
It's total abolition cannot take place
until the present year. K%onigsberg, so
far as can be discovered, is taking no
steps to celebrate this final casting off
Of French thraldom. There are said
to be many such ragged ends of wars
In Europe. For example, a year or two
ago the little principality Of Lichten-
stein was still technically at war with
Prussia, and been at war since 1866
and very likely is still at war.

The town trustees of Pokeville or,
dered the building of a hexagonal
chimney for the water works.
1t was to be paid for by the cubic

principal complied, and the contractor
presented the bill at the Gext regular

How do we know these figures are
