A PLAN FOR TEMPERANCE.
Mr. John Graham Brooks, recently
onnected with Harvard university has
awntribnted to the December n amber of
lh Fornm a paper describing the work
ings of a singular scheme which has
keen used at Gothenburg and other
towns in Sweden for the abatement and
regulation of the liquor traffic. In the
system there in operation the bnai
aes8 of selling strong liquors has been
placed in control of the community, all
he profits being devoted to swelling the
public revenues. With the object of
placing the traffic in the hands of those
nlv who could have no motives of per
sonal gain in handling it, the bartenders
are appointed from among men of trust
worthy character and placed . upon a
salary. The number of saloons has
been reduced and they are restricted as
to hoars and the selling of liquor to
.minors, intoxicated individuals or con
firmed drunkards.
But the chief aim has been to make
the conditions such that no one wouM
have n motive for pushing the sale cf
"Inioxicaiita any more than for making
sales of food, tea or coffee. A great ob
jection, of conree. in thus making 'he
a , . ,
municipality the saloon-keeper lies In
the encouragement to lighten taxes by
increasing the saloon trade. To meet
this objection the revenues hare been
made to yield the tin-payer a merely
indirect interest in the way of estab
lished parks, schools and other public
improvements.
The scheme has resulted in a partial
Meet ss, in that the drinking of ardent
spiriw in Norway and Sweden has
.greatly decreased. On the other hand,
there is ' a steady and alarming growth
ill the imbibing of beer, which has not
been included in the experiment. The
two nations, instead of being great
-4r inkers of brandy, have become great
drinkers of beer. .
- Mr. Brooks would like to see a similar
experiment tried in small American
towns where a pronounced sentiment in
.lavor of temperance would insure the
lection of municipal officers who would
Jaot misuse their singular powers. To
-attempt the experiment in large cities,
with their enormous liquor revenues
aod corrupt politic?, would, of course,
be out of the question.
G. T. Hollister of Greenville, is in
favor of taxing dogs in this state $1.00
to $3.00 per head, thus making dogH
"property" under the laws, and creating
a special school fund to be used only for
the building of better school houses and
for furnishing fixtures 'for the same.
The said tax to be collected or assecsed
by the clerk of each district while taking
the nuoieration of their respective dis
trict, and to become delinquent on the
first Monday of March, the clerk to be
allowed a certain per cent, for the assess
ment; the amount to be fixed by tHfe
county school superintendent of each
county, and when not paid before-delinquent
to be collected as any other
tax. A tax of this kind would have a
tendency to the building up of a better
breed of dogs, for people owning worth
less curs won Id probably then dispose of
thein and keep only dogs of some value.
If the Montana silver statute were
modeled after a Montana maiden and
the idea of its manufacture had or
iginated in Montana, the poetical signifi
cance of the image would 'have been
greatly enchanced. According to the
news printed a few days ago, the whole
enterprise is a money-making scheme of
a. niniile of Chicago sharks, who are
FOR BETTER COUNTY ' ROAVS.
Throughout the United States' the ag
itation for improved highways" is in
creasing and there is every reason to
hope that great advances in this direc
tion will follow. The meeting this week
at Indianapolis, of Indiana advocates
of better country roads has awakened
new interest in the subject in that state.
But there is danger that a wrong be
ginning will be made in this most praise
worthy work. Indeed, a wrong begin
ning has lieen made in New York. A
bill recently passed the Albany legisla
ture that provides for a board of com-
inisidoners of state roads. This board
will be charged with the construction
and maintenance of highways outside of
cities and incorporated towns and a
a state engineer is to havegeneral super
vision of the proposed system. Thus
far the bill is all right, but in providing
for a loan of $10,000,000 to carry on the
work it makes a departure from estab
lished custom in road-making - that has
not alone the sanction of immemorial
usage but of sound economic reason as
well. It has been the general practice
in some portions of the east, to apply in
country-road making the same principle
that has governed in the construction
and maintenance of the public streets

The meeting of the state horticultural
society promises to be a most interest
ing and profitable one. It will convene
at tbe council chamber in Portland,
Januarr 11th and 12th. Mayor Mas n
has promised to grace the meeting with
his presence and deliver an address of
welcome to the members of the board
and to all visitors from abroad. There
are a number of important subjects to
come before the meeting for discussion
and action.
Oregon horsemen are taking an inter
est in the matter of introducing Ken
tucky blue grass into this state. The
more it is discussed the more pronounced
is the expression in its favor. It is
claimed to be jnst She thing for the roll
ing lands in the valley and the southern
part of the state, and also for the foot
hills. A man in Washington county
has experimented with a small field of
it, and finus that it does very well.
. Senator Dolph's bill for the retirement
of Judge Deady after the 4th of March,
if the judge so desires ; has been favora
bly reported upon by the senate judici
ary committee. In his remarks making
the report, Senator Mitchell paid Judge
Deady a very handsome complimeut,
saying: "M. P. Deady was, the . 15th
day of March,, 1H53, appointed by Presi
dent Pierce an associate justice of the
territory of Oregon, under which ap
pointment and a subsequent appoint
ment of February 1st, 1854, and con
firmation I T tbe senate the 6th day of
February, 1854, be served as such asso
ciate justice until the admission - of
Oregon as a state. February 14th, 1859.
The 7th day of March, 1859, he was ap
pointed by President Buchanan,. and
tlie 9th day of the same month con
firmed by the senate United . States
district judge fortbe district of Oregon
and under such appointment he has
served in such capacity to the present
time, a period of nearly thirty-four
years, making a continuous service as a
United States judge of nearly forty
years. It has furtner been made plain
to your committee that by reason of
bodily ailments which are permanent
Judge Deady has been rendered physi
cally unable to longer perform the duties
of such office. It is further shown that
he will not reach the age of seventy
years until the year 1894 ; therefore your
committee, while recognizing the dis
tinguished judicial services rendered by
Judge Deadv during his long service
and his eminence as a jurist, and in
view of the ioregoing facts, report back
tbe bill and recommend its passage."

The Snake river canal, which is to be
constructed as soon as possible, will be
over 100 miles in length when completed.
It will be 48 feet wide at the bottom and
74 feet wide at the top, and will cover
300,000 acres of land. At the point
where tbe water is taken from tbe river
tbe canyon is S00 feet deep, and the
water will be raised by means of a dam.
The proposed terminus will be near
Huntington.
