In an address before the recent con-
ventiOn of the Oregon State Good
Roads association A. L. Craig, a prom
inent railroad official, made the follow
ing pertinent remarks:
Today | am informed that about the
greatest distance a farmer can afford
to haul wheat over existing wagon
roads to, the railroad is about twenty
miles. If the wagon road can be SO
improved that with the same number
of horses and with the same wagon
two tons can be hauled where one is
the present limit it will also be found
that the extreme boundary of the prof
liable wheat area would be forty
miles, or double what it is now-that
is, farmer under the improved condi-
ton of wagon roads. forty miles dis
tant from the market, could produce
wheat with as much profit for himself
as the farmer who today is but one
half that distance removed from the
buyer at the railway station.
Have you. who live from ten to
twenty miles from the railway, ever
ludl III u Il great
reduction in the wear and tear on
horses and wagons. as we'll as upon
yourselves, good roads would increase
the value of the land itself by, as it
were, picking it up bodily and placing
it nearer the town?
The old settler in Oregon who came
across the plains knows that the same
number of miles intervene between the
Missouri and Willamette rivers that
were there in the fifties and sixties
but he also knows that the distance in
effect has been shortened so that the
relation between then and now is as
six months is TO three days. And
what has brought this about? Moth
ing but good roads, railroads, to be
sure, but a good railroad is simply a
good road for locomotives and cars tc
run on and is an evolution from the
wagon road.

Literary Notes.

An extraordinary interesting feature
of the June IVOman's Home Compan-
ion is "a Bird's-eye View of the Pan
anna Canal" No one who wants to
have correct idea of the canals site
can afford to miss it. Besides articles
on Commencement Merrymaking at
GIRLS Colleges" ," "The Wonders of
Modern Travel" and "The Marvellous
Miniature Trees in Japan, the num-
Der is full of short stories. "The
Matrimonial Adventures of BERTHE"
'Out of the Ashes" Over the Garden
Wall, "When Fortune Knocked, "and
"Isidore, the Unwashed," are all of
intense human interest. To these is
added unique feature, a love story
told by photographs. Published by
The Crowell Publishing Company,
Springfield, Ohio; one dollar a year;
ten cents a copy.
Mr.. Folks platform, in "Leslie's
Monthly" for June, is as simple as his
speeches. Thou shalt not steal
even if thou art Democrat, thou shalt
not steal" He reiterates it every
where as he stands on the platform,
short, thick-set and wearing on his
face that look of quiet, almost placid
determination which is photographed
on the soul of every boodler IN Miss
ouri. The farmers trust him. Folk
himself told me once that he believed
every Democrat in Missouri with a
beard more than two inches long was
with him. 1t is true.
The first of a series of realistic stor-
les by n. NJ. w. Woodrow, which are
to be published in Mcclure Maga-
zine, appears in the June number un-
der the title of "The New Missioner"
1t is the story of woman's inhumanitv
to woman, of the final victory of good
over evil and the triumph of the
missionary who found her field for
labor in the hard life of a Colorado
mining camp.
