an open mail road for stage coaches
for women and babes.
One of the stage drivers told me
that not long ago, during one of these
sudden squalls incident to this glor-
ious and most splendid plateau,-
more than five thousand feet in the
heavens,-the OVERLAPPING brush
knocked out his lamps as he was feel
ing his way in the night and he soon
found his horse trying to scramble
over a fallen tree. And not a match
that would burn to be found among
all the miserable passengers! Think
of III
Now this most magnificent and in
describably beautiful mountain road
is not brushy, as brushy, as brush
goes, at all. Let me explain. Sheep
passed up and down and across this
road in vast numbers and for years;
then they were suddenly withdrawn.
Their busy little feet have crushed
the pine burrs and trodden the seed
into the soil. The result was, and is,
such a growth of young and vigorous
and very beautiful baby pines as the
mothers never saw before.
And IL these pretty and most fra
grant little pines that crowd, and, In
time OF storms, overhang and totally
hide the mail road. Remove these
pines-and how pleasant the task and
how submissive they are-and all the
trouble is over. And they reach mot
nearly one quarter OF the 75 miles
Of mountain road. OF course there
are some mahogany, some spruce and
so on. But there is no real brush Of
an obstinate or persistent nature, like
chapparal, mesquite, Wild grape and
so on, as are the mountain roads
away to the south of US.
And you think II Is a hard or cost
ly task to get rid of these pretty little
pines? Fifty dollars from each coun-
ty in the hands OF a man who knows
trees, loves them and knows how to
trim them will make this road like
path through paradise. Do you
know trees have sense? They have.
A little pine tree win respond to care
full training and touch OF kind
ness as surely as a child responds to
kind words.

SIaTE PRINTER BUSY.
Catalogues for Weston Normal and
State Fair just Turned Out.


There is sweet music these days in
the office of State Printer Duniway,
as the click of the type as 1t drops
gently into the stick, together with
the hum Of the presses, hum the song
of progress. says the Salem States
man. The state printing plant has
just turned out 10000 cloth notices
and 5000 copies OF the law for the
protection of the forests of the state
from fire. A considerable saving to
the state In the expenditure of the
printing OF the forest fire laws has
oeen made by Mr.. Duniway in the
printing OF the laws into a four page
instead OF five page booklet.
The premium list for the oregon
state fair rs also being published and
the last form was put on the press
yesterday. 1t will be one Of the neat
est pamphlets yet sent out from the
state printing department. It will
contain about 100 pages and a num-
Der of fine half tones and will be
one OF the finest premium lists ever
gotten out by the state fair board.
Another piece OF work recently
rurned out was the catalogue for the
eastern oregon normal school at
Weston. 1t is quite an elaborate pub
rfication and contains a number of
half-tones, which will add to the at
ttractiveness of the catalogue.
The senate journal was finished
May II, and was delivered to the
state librarian last week. The house
journal was completed as far as the
printers could go with the work and
they are now waiting for the index.
The senate Journal will be zoe pages
shorter than two years ago and the
house journal will have 500 pages
less than that OF 1905.

The county commissioners Of Grant
county have just received a letter
from Joaquin Miller complaining OF
the state Of the roads through the
mountains. The letter Which is char
acterlslic of the poet is as follows In
part:
Gentlemen-I. have today returned
from two hundred mile tour by
stage buggy and boot leather, too,
through and back from the border Of
matchless and magnificent Harney
valley. And I beg to file a brief pro-
test against the dense brush that bor-
fers and overhangs this most royal
mountain road.
The road here--God made it's all
right; or nearly so. But the brush is
a nuisance ian abomination unto
the Lord"
We had a bright young mother in
the open stage, as we went out, with
a big and happy young American In
her arms. And all went we'll ana
merrily till we struck the overhang-
ing brush on the high pine hung
mesa. Here hail storm set in.
The dense growth Of little pines
was soon almost impenetrable. The
trees bowed their heads beneath the
hail and the horses had to blindly
feel their way through overhanging
brush! And IL II was terrifying to the
horses amid the thunder and hall and
lightning, what must 1T have been to

The half drowned. hearty little one

seemed to think the soothing remark
personal and got almost us mad as
the baby
We met some Indian mothers with
their ponies and papUoses, but these
free Americans could choose the open
hillside and were only smiling at the
storm
And why were we In the open stage
