MASTER OF BANDON HAS
RIBS BROKEN IN WHARF
COLLAPSE.

Marshfield, Or, May 2S.-
Captain Chailes Schillinsky, of
the steamer Bandon, suffered
two broken ribs when the wharf
at Port Oxford collapsed yester-
day afternoon as the steamer
came alongside. He was the
most seriously injured man of
the five victims, none having
been fatally hurt, as at first re-
ported.
After receiving medical treat
ment, the Captain was able to
proceede with his craft, en- route
to San Francisco and Southern
California ports.
The accident is reported to be
due to the settling of the wharf,
n portion about 80 to 160 feet
having gone down. The men
were injured by being swept into
the sea by large pile Of ties,
which were intended as q cargo
for the Bandon.
The steam schooners Phoenix
and Brooklyn were called in
after the accident, and loaded
portions of the tie consignment,
taking all they could carry and
cleaning off the congested
wharf.-Oregonian.

MULTNOMAH COUNTY
FALLS IN LINE

Last fall the county court of
Lincoln county consolidated all
the road districts of Lincoln
County into two districts, as
they thought that better results
could be obtained by this means
and better value gotten for the
taxpayers.
AS the County Court has been
quite freely criticized for their
action, it will no doubt be with
gratifacition that they learn
that Multnomah county, the
county that spends more money
for good roads than any other
in the state, has adopted ident-
ically the same plan as was
adopted by our court.
The following is an extract
taken from an article in yester-
days Oregonian:
Originally there were IA dis
tricts in Multnomah County, but
these were cut down to two,
district No. 1, comprising all ex-
cept small portion in the south
west part of the county, because
of the law providing that road
taxes must be spent in the dis
trict from which collected.
THE original IA districts were
changed to divisions, each in
charge of a superintendent.
Roadmaster Yeon's plan is to
, consolidate these divisions"

LOCATION IS OF IMPORTANCE
Most Farmers Would Rather Live Six
Miles on Hard Road Than Three
on Muddy One.

From n study Of $50 farms in John.
son county Of that state the Missouri
experiment station concludes that To-.
cation Is more important than crop
Yield as factor in land values. Here
are the figures: Seventy-nine farms
within two miles Of market averaged
In value $3.50 per acre; 1873 farms,
two to four miles from market, $7O2O
per acre; 126 farms, four to six miles
from market, $8O.90; 113 farms, six
to eight miles from market, $500, and
149 farms. over eight miles from mar
ket, averaged $500 per acre. An un.
mentioned but important factor is con.
dition Of the road. Were these farms
located on hard roads or on dirt roads
inclined to be heavy in wet seasons?
Most folk would rather live six miles
out on a permanent hard road than
only half as far on muddy road. Let
us have more light on this Interesting
question.-Farmers' Review.
