While the subject of new roads is be ing agitated by the legislatures and the agricultural journals, the farmers are busy working tip the subject in a prac ticalthough possibly not in the most proper way by industriously, and at much expense of time and team, cutting up and destroying the roads by driving heavily loaded, narrow tired wagons over them. When we see a man on a heavily loaded, narrow tired wagon urg ing along bis jaded team, engaged to his utmost power in making mud, and then grumbling because of the "horrid' muddy roads, he seems to be an object for pity. The only thing he seems disposed to do to make matters different is to throw some hard words into tho muddiest places, and then continue his custom of turning out on to the highway with his rut digger every time the ground is too wet for plowing. Now, if the legisla ture is to do anything for the roads, let them begin by legislating the narrow tires off the heavy lumber and truck wagons. I have seen a single heavy, narrow tired wagon in the distance of a half mile cause more damage than could be repaired in sis days of ordinary road work. The question seem3 to be about this: Which is the better economy, wide tires and good roads or narrow tires and bad roads? The narrow tires are as much out of place on tbe farm as on the highway. Men admit that facts and philosophy are in favor of wide tires, and say that when all the others use wide tires they will do so. They seem i to be afraid that they will do more than their proportionate share of good in this I world. It seems that the legislature j may have to help them out of their ruts, i Coleman's Rural World. well knows that so longas the Chronicle is under its present management the ring has no favors to expect or receive. The editor of the Sun is the mouthpiece of the ring. It is well known that the paper lias passed from under tne con trol of its original purchasers. It is no secret that when the Chronicle was in ! who drank too deeplv in Astoria, went to sleep on the road home and perished from exposure. ; A large number of counterfeit half i dollars are in circulation in Washington Tommy Picked the Police Chlcrs Pocket. In Madison, Wis., there is a chief of police, J. E. Adamson, who is clubbing himself. Saturday he visited Chicago to get Thomas Kingston, aged fourteen, who was wanted at Madison for larceny. j He had been arrested by Chicago offi- cers. Late in the evening he hand j cuffed himself to young Kingston and I started for the train. Before it reached tho thick of the late contest with the!

To deny this charge is to fly in the teeth of facts and . history. Tiie S'f( .was tied baud and foot and dare not lift a finger against the enemies of the people. The "rump" con trolled it and hired the present editor to do their work. It is no secret that Mr. George 1 Morgan was forced to give up the editorial charge of the paper be cause the management refused to pub lish articles he had written in defense of the people's rights as opposed to Union Pacific" oppression. It is .o answer to . these statements of fact to abuse the ed- iter of the Chkoxici.e, or say he is a can- j didate for a county office or that he was ! discharged from the management of the j CiiKo'sicLK or that he is a low-born cur j ' and a pitiful liar. Ail this abuse may j pass. The facts as to the Sun remain if ! the editor of the Chronicle were seek- j ing to bo president of the United States, was tired from the employ of the Ciirox- j icle Publishing company and was the i meanest man on earth. But the editor ! never was discharged from this or any j other employment. The charge, how- -ever, i not new. We have heard it be- j fora and allowed it to go uncontradicted ' because we were unwilling to drag mat- ters before the public with which they j were in co way concerned. hen the .Sun. would hold up the editor of Chhon icle to public contempt as one who was ignominonslv kicked out of the service of the Chronicle and then begged io be taken lack, it id perhaps time to speak. The statement is false in every detail. From the first hour we took charge of this journal ;i!l the present moment there has never been a misunderstand ing between the editor and board of di rectors. He was never discharged, and never requested to resign. The condi tions of the office at one time were such that he refused to conduct the paper un less they were removed. The desired change was made and the editor was re quested to return to his work, there was nothing in the resignation return that was not honorable both to the editor and the board of directors. The Sun will have to look somewhere else fur capital for contempt. . In seek ing to injure -the Chkosicle the effort will recoil upon itself. A paper that does not command the respect of the men who NORTHWEST SEWS. Yamhill county has 2,700 voters and nine newspapers. In Marion county . there are 52,350 acres in cultivation. The average yield of wheat was twenty-three bushels to the acre. A still born babe wrapped only in a coarse cotton cloth was found on one of the streets of Portland on the morning of the 20th. Alexander Hyadnuui, of Gig Harbor, aged 14, went hunting by himself and shot off his left arm. Amputation at the shoulder was necessary. Judge Beverly, of the superior court, at Tacoina, was presented by L. O. Lander? of Vashon Island, with a cane consistiug of 150 bones of animals nicelv welded together. i A thousand farmers or more were in ! Walia Walla on Saturday, and all j spoken to were jubilant over the present I splendid prospects. The amount of j land seeded to wheat this fall will be i 200,000 acres, and probably fully as j much will be plowed for summer fallow. ; In the office of W. P. Wright, of Dallas, is an old servant, in the shape of ! an oxyoke, that Mr. Joshua McDaniel S brought across the plains in 1345. It is of black walnut, and though it has seen much and hard usage, is still in a good state of preservation. i The fellows who burglarized the stores I at Turner a few evenings ago had a few i grains of humor in their make-up. At ! one place where they secured a $'5 will i iam from the till they left a receipt for the amount taken. No name, however, ! was signed to the receipt. A Union Paciiic freight train was ! wrecked at Garfield on the 21st instant, , and the Garfield photographer va ' promptlv on hand to take a picture of ; the wreck but the traiu men objected j sidered. : and drove him off. AVhen -outside the neighborhood Unhuan & Co., of San Francisco, have brought suit against Parsons & Linton, of Lane county, to recover about $3000 on a hop contract. A year ago last fall Uhfinan & Co., contracted early in the season for the crop of hops raised by these gentlemen. Later in the season the price of hops raised considerably and the hops were again contracted, this time to another firm. The amount sued for is the difference between the contract price of the hops and their value at selling timr. Orlando Evans, Berry Evans and Kingston is a cunning little rascal. He saw his opportunity. He quietly went through the pockets of the sleeping chief and found the key which unlocked his handcuff. Stealthily he crept over the snoring officer, and when the train stopped at Desplaines the chief and his youtbjul prisoner parted company. The train had gone a good many miles when Chief Adamson awoke. Of course he was mad, but when he looked for the key with which to remove the handenfe from his own wrist his wrath knew no bounds, for Tommy had taken it with him. All efforts to remove the bracelet were- fruitless, and until he reached Madison his left hand and wrist were buried deep in his overcoat pocket They were "put of sight." Kingston wa picked np by Chicago tbe! officers. He is at the Desplaines street station waiting for another bout with pal Chief Adamson. Chicago Tribune. Ticket and Baggage Office of the.O. K. & N.

Wall, of Elgin, are in the county jail at Union, charged with grand larceny. The opinion prevails about Elgin that they are the leaders of a gang organized for the purpose of pillaging the settlers' houses in the Looking Glass country on Grand Ronde river, below Eljrin. A number of houses have been broken into and furniture, bedding, clothing:, etc., taken. They were taken before justice Burleigh, and on examination held in the sum of $500 each. Berry and -Or-lands Evans are father and son. James Poole, of Canyonvile, ha3 been sentenced to the penitentiary foT one year for collecting $10 from the county for a coyote that was a dog's scalp. Twelve years ago he killed James O'Neill and fled to Idaho, where he served a term in the pen for cattte steal ing. Last year he was brought back to Douglas county and convicted of man slaughter, but the supreme c.9urt knocked it out on a technicality. The crime being so old it was never brought up again. Poole's two brothers are now in the Oregon pen for stock stealing. II. 11. Keylor, of Walla Walia, secre tary of the state medical examining board, notified Dr. Powell Reeves that Dr. II. W. Dewey, of this city, had pe titioned the board to revoke his license. Dr. Reeves was notified to appear before the board at Seattle at its next January meeting, when the petition will be con- )r. Reeves lias placed A Short Lived Lake. "A month hence," says a California engineer of reputation, "theSalton lake will have dried up." Salton lake, it will be remembered, is the shallow inland sea which was formed by a- break in the Colorado river, whose waters in modern times, at least, flowed into the Gulf of California, as we know it. The basin of the short lived lake-, however, was once a part of the gulf, and if the flow of water had continusd some modern im provements might indeed have been ef fected. The river will not boom again till spring, when the lake may refilL Any device that could render it perma nent would have mitigating effect npon the dreaded Arizona climate, of which dire stories are told. Worse things could happen, than the tapping of the Colorado river higher np, so that all its waters might flow into the old chan nels and make the- wilderness blossom with the rose.
