' f It is especially desired by every member of tho county court that you attend this convention, tnko part in tho' goncrnl discussions nnd learn what you can from theso addresses of tho road problem. Tho supervisor who has not enough interest in this mnttcr to attond tho stato convention that is be ing held in his own county is not worthy of tho ofllco of road supervisor, unless ho has a good oxcuso for not doing so. This is a grand opportunity for our su pervisors throughout tho county, and our citizens in general, to learn some thing about public highway improve ment that thoy do not often havo an opportunity to do. I nlso wish to call your attontion to tho importance of draining your roads, and to look after your bridgos caro fullyvnnd sco that all holes in thorn nro quickly rcpnlrod.

Plcaso innko a special effort to get a good delegation from your road district to attend tho convontion; you can do so by talking up this mnttor among your most enthusiastic good roads mon.

In tho winter time, tho earth being warm below tho surface, wo will not need to bo going after "hot drinks." Wo can sit in tho subway without overcoats to protect us from tho cold. And all this time, it never rains in tho Bubway. Of courso, Ore gonians couldn't stnnd that-, but the Chicago folk's, who don't know how nico rain is, will not know thero is anything better than a rainless subway.

Chicago is following suit in tho experiment of building n city un Uoruonth Itself, jKIt was recently oatimatod by a con servative publication that thero had bocn some hundrods of thousands of acres added to Now York and Chicago by taking off tho roofs of many of tho buildings nnd adding moro storios to them. Stnco.tho limit for all nrnc- ttcal purposes appears to havo been about reached in building up, tho next nnd only step was, naturally to build down. tTho idea is new and Bomowhnt novel ln-th'is country, yot it lias many advan tages nnd will provo a great blessing in moro Ways than nno oro we aro fully acquainted with its unlimited possibil ities. Ono of tho most Important fea tures in connection with opening up subway traffic, is tho escape it will of fer from tho extreme climatic condi tions on tho surfaoo. It is tho Inton tlou to hnvo stores, hotels, resldonces, and all surfaoo conveniences in these tunnels. Tho tracks of tho transporting lines will tnko tho center and walks and business houses will Hue tho sides. Tho finish of theso grout underground chambers and courses is of tho highest kind and tho effect is entirely different from an expected dark, gloomy and (lamp hole m tho ground, for tho entire course is lined with polished wood coll ing nud cement walks, brilliantly light ed and the effect Is rather of an enter- tainlug ami inviting nature.

The habit of "going below" when tho sur faco gets too cold or too hot, will grad ually grow on tho peoplo and will work into tho building of permanent business establishments underground.

J.O.AwO., UW.ll, Kui, Temperance orgnnizntions, tho Pro hibition party, local option efforts, ami in fact nil mornl organizations aro re ceiving pretty strong evidence of a damaging nltturo from n crusado oponed up by Editor Edward Bok, of tho Ladies' Home Journal, wherein tho question of ,tho liquor traffic is un dor consideration. Mr. Bok hns opened his campaign on entirely now lines, and has not only nttractcd much attention from tho reading public, but a few law suits nlong with it. Tho discussion, which has now as sumed largo proportions and somo dc- greo of bitterness and outspoken speech, was brought about over somo comment of Editor Bok relntivo to tho methods and practices of tjio W. C. T. U. Tho meanest thing ho Bald was when ho called tho Woman's Chrlstinn Tcmperanco Union tho Woman's Con tinuous Talking Union, His strictures on thoir practice did not hurt half so bad. Howover, wo can cull from tho war now on, wherein Mr. Bok is standing alono and .against nil tho tcmperanco and otherwise moral organizations, onough of tho chnrnctcr of tho fight to bco that it is of vital importance to overy mnn, woman nnd child in tho land. Mr. Bok's first nrgument was against tho W. C. T. U. members al lowing whisky signs on their barns, fences, etc. Thus thoy derived rovo nue, in somo cases, from tho whisky traffic.' As this argument, nnd its accom pnnying ndvlco, did not seem to tnko woll with tho union, ho attacked tho subjoct on another point. Ho oponed up tho patent medlcluo "curse." In a long list of patent modiclnca ho showed thoy all contained from 12 per eont (per volume) "to 47.5 per cont alcohol. Thus ha had n strong argu ment ngainst not only tho W. C. T. U., but overy mnn or woman on tho faco of tho earth who was, or is, fighting tho whisky domon. Ho not only showed that tcmperanco peoplo nil over our land wero drlnklnir mcdiclnos overy day which contained nil tho wny from 12 per cont to nearly CO per cent, but they wore dosing ba bies, growing girls nnd young boys with alcohol in their own homes. Yot theso Bnmo peoplo who nro making thoir children drink alcohol undor somo othor name, without n thought of whisky, would throw up their hands in lorror, would jiincoroly weep for and decry tho practlco of a young man buying G cents worth of beer over a saloon bar nnd drinking it, a concoc tion which contains but from 2 to C per cent of nlcohol. Under Mr. Bok'n nrgumont our whole country is a whisky drinking rnco. Tho bad peoplo drink it over n bar under its proper name, whllo tho good peoplo buy it under somo other namo nnd drink it at homo, food it to tho children and reeommond it ovory whoro they go. Of eonrso, it is not to bo presumed that tho W. C. T. U. nnd other church nnd temperance or ganizations nro awaro that thoy are, through thoir mombors, engaged in tho whisky busluess, both drinking it themselves nnd offering it to others. It is only tho subtlo methods of ovil to creep in whero it finds tho least apathy. Nevertheless, tho whisky is in tho medicine, nnd tho question nono the less pertinent. It appears from the developments that thoro is moro whisky drank outsido qt the saloon than in it. Without roallzing it many temperance nnd moral advocntos have as much whisky in tho medlcluo chest U3 some saloons carry in stock. Tho poet says that n roso by any other uamo would smell as sweet, so whis ky by any other names tastes as bad, creates a drunkard and does every thing tho moralist desires should bo. done. Changing the name does not mend matters.- It is still whisky. Another interesting phaso arises in this discussion. Why, if so much whiskies used through the patent med icine, us it appears from analysis, are not all of theso peoplo drunk mora or less of tho timet Many a good man drinks largo doses tvery few hours enough to make him drunk if ho lad "Mary," sold the Mis tress, "in future always order Golden Gate Coffee."

KatabllBhad Half a Cmta.ta.rr San Francisco any idea that ho was drinking whisky instead of Jones. Extrncto Tonic. If tho snmo quantity of whisky would make him drunk by drinking it over a mahogany bnr, why would it not do so drinking it homo in tho kitchen! Is it tho thinking that does it! Ono thinks he is drinking nn intoxicant, whilo tho other does not think so. Ono gets drunk cither from tho whisky or his thought, whilo tho other stays so ber becnuso of his thought, in spite of tho whisky. Tho question of whisky nnd nlcohol is n question of fenncntntion. All bread which vjo eat depends upon the por cent of alcohol to mako it fit to cat. All cooking produces moro or 16ss quantity of alcohol. Tho element which wo so greatly fear when wo seo It spelled w-hi-s-k-y wo tnko no thought of when wo nro putting it into everything wo cat, when wo drink it copiously in medicines nnd nro igno rant of its presence. It remains for tho prohibitionists to "square" themselves. What will thoy say to this argument! What will thoso who wero so energetic during tho last campaign say when faced with this chargot Do they say that it is nil right to drink from 12 to CO per cent whisky in drugs at homo, pour it down tho innocent babies and grow ing children, nnd that it is all wrong to drink it in smnller quantities over n bnr, and in tho beor hnbit to drink but from 2 to C per cont! That thoy nro Ignornntly inconsistent cannot bo denied in mnny enses. What are locnl optioulsts to do with this question! It is no nrgumont in favor of tho sa Iimhi lo uliegu that Inrgo quantities of liquor is drank nil over tho country, but it isn't any credit to tho locnl op tionists to bo chnrging tho saloon with whnt -thoy nro doing themselvos, only doing in a really worso way, bo cuuso thoy nro using liquor without any lieonso nt all, when tho law plain ly says there must bo a liconse. Tho fnct that tho nlcohol makes tho modi cino romodisl, nnd tho. medicino val ueless without it, does not cover tho question. Whisky is whisky, no mat ter for what purposo it is used. If it is good for you at homo in tho kitch en with a different lnbel on it prol) ably it will do the other fellow tho snmo good in a saloon, providing you both uso it moderatoly. Tho uso of morphine, cocaine, laudanum, etc., in medical practico has produced moro "fiends" than tho stuff has probably ovory cured, so who knows to what ex tont tho patent medicino whisky, in stilled into our children from tho mo ment thoy nro born, up to manhood and womnnhood hns entered into nnd controlled in so many cases of 'drunk enness! Whoro did nll.theso .Bonks'" get their start! Can you provo it didn't como from patent medicine with a quantity of nlcohol in it! Theso nro tho questions Mr. Bok has asked for tho W. C T. U. and other tcmperanco organizations to nnswer. Can thoy do it! Tho inference that overy homo is a dramshop will not bo allowed to remain if it is possible for nn nnswer to bo4 forthcoming, nnd it may reasonably bo . expected that cither n satisfactory reply will soon bo in ovldenco or olso there will bo a mlglity ronovntion in tho medicine chest nnd in tho public nssaults against tho liquor traffic.
