OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.

The national good roads convention
recently held at St Louis adopted the
resolution:
First-That the building of good roads
in the United States is now of para
mount Importance to national prosperi-
ty and commercial supremacy.
Second-That we recommend the har-
monious cooperation Of the township,
county, state and national governments
in the furtherance of this great end.
What is Oregon doing toward this
question of paramount Importance
and what are we doing toward harmony
in township, county and state to the
furtherance of good roads? The west
ern country has given its attention to
long distance means Of transportation.
1t has sought for railroads and steam
boat lines, harbors, canals, locks, jet
ties and the like, but it has neglected
the first few miles between the harvest
field and he railv ay station or steam
boat landing. The time is here for
more attention to be given to wagon
roads.-Pendleton Tribune.

CHANCE FOR CAPITAL.

With the s1.5OS,OOO now lying idle in
Astoria banks, or with other loose cap
ital lying around somewhere. why
would it not be wise to organize a
company for the reclamation of about
50OO9 acres more or less of our tide
lands and bottom-lands? If properly
dyked and placed in cultivation these
lands would be capable of sustaining
1000 families. The creamery and the
milk condensory will make dairying
the most profitable agricultural busi-
ness for this county, and so acres of
tide or bottom land in this industry
would bring its tenant or owner an in
come equal to that of the average
workman, clerk or professional man.
besides furnishing ahome and larger
portion of a living at small expense.

Perhaps some of those who agree
with Mr., Cowgirl in his agitation for a
popular vote on the tax measures pas
sed BY the late legislature can answer
our correspondents query. The ground
taken is that, there being no eonstitu-
tional authority for any exemption
whatever of mans property, there
could be no hardship visited upon him
by the provisions of the law which fail
ed to provide for an exemption.

than three times as much as is owed by Chicago.
 The difference between Berlin and the average American city is that Berlin gets the worth of her money Her public buildings are we'll put up and there are few public jobs. Of late the parks have been greatly improved. New roads have been laid out in the Thiergarten, wood ed pleasure ground of 600 acres in the heart of the city. New statues have been put up there and among others those of the Alice of Victory which is lined with marble figures and busts of German be- roes.
 Berlin Is building pleasure grounds for the children in every quarter of the city. She is gradually remodeling the old streets and the day will come when she will vie with Paris as the most beautiful city of Europe.
 Berlin's Big Boom.
 Berlin is now the third city of Europe. London is first, Paris second. Berlin third and Vienna fourth. Berlin proper has over 1,SOO, 900 inhabitants, but with the su- burbs she has more than 100000, and 1t is a question whether the Greater Berlin is not equal to Paris in size.
 The town has been booming since the Franco Prussian war. It had 100000 in 1860, and at the time of that war only three-uuarters of million. After that the Government got the big war indem- nity The French pulled billion dollars out of their woolen stockings and handed 1t over to the German victors. and much of this money came to Berlin. The peo- pie fiocked in from all parts of the em- pire to see if they could get their share of 1t. and Berlin grew. It has been grow ing ever since, and notwithstanding the hard times 1t Is growing today. It now covers twenty-five square miles in the Spree Valley and Is reaching out in every direction.
 How German Cities Thrive.
 A similar growth has taken place throughout the German Empire. Nearly every city has put on the seven league boots of modern progress, and has built new buildings faster than most of our American towns. The Improvements have been better than ours, and you will not find a country on earth that has as many fine cities as Germany in proportion to its population.
 Let me give you few facts about some cities I know. I first came to Germany over twenty years ago, and the growth has been almost altogether since that time LeipsiE Is three times as large as II was then. IL Ild0 AVVtVoV POpNiotaSA o' the time of the Franco Pr1lssian war. and 1t numbers almost half a million today Munich and Dresden each have now hali million, Breslau has 422,000. Cologne 40O. 900. Fortmund. Barmen and Dansie have each 10000: Chemnitz, 30.oOo and Hamburg has three-Quarters of million l and Is fast rising toward the million mark.
 The United States has thirty-eigh towns which have more than 100000 pop lation, Prussia Is not as big as Texa and 1t ha twenty-two towns of more thai 100 900 population. Settin is bigger thal | Minneapolis. Dusseldorf Is bigger thai Louisville, Hanover ranks with Newark | N.

 Berlin from the Ringbahn. One of the best ways for a birds eye view of Berlin Is a ride on the Ring balm. This is an elevated railway en- circling the city and stopping at all the chief sections. There are two branches the North Ring and the South Ring, which have trains every few minutes. The cars move by steam and the fares are exceedingly low. You can ride for an hour for cents third class, and the second and first classes are not very ex- pensiyeA There are slot machines at the stations which sell third-class tickets for the ordinary trip for two and one-half cents each. Such ticket gets a ride for five stations, and If you go further you must arrange for an extra payment at the end of the ride.
 took my tickets at the Fr1edrichstrasse Bahnhof. We shot out of the depot over an enormous restaurant built under the track and rode for some miles to the cage or the city. We went by the cat tie market and slaughter houses belong ing to the municipality past the city gas works and skirted the edge of Berlin, finding five-story buildings clear to the boundaries. Further on we entered the city again, rode about the Thiergarten, past the geological garden and in the end came back to the place where We started.
 Berlin the Dude Among Cities.
 This ride shows one how well Berlin is built and how well 1t is kept. Most of the buildings are new, and notwithstanding the poor who are as many as in any city in Europe, except London, it has no eye sores. One sees no clothes hanging out Of flat windows or on ropes or wires stretched from building to building as in the cities of the United States. There are no ash piles or tin cans in the back yards ana even the wood and scraps are nicely piled.
 The roads are everyhwere clean. The city Is dude compared with other mu- inequalities. It has creases in its trous- CTS and bouquet in It's buttonhole Most
