Saved br Having Them
Good Condition.
The subject of good public roads at
tracts and deserves a great deal of at
tention , It is a subject In which farm
era have a greator financial stake than
they have realized. While the roads
romuin as they are tbe farmers are
constantly losing monoy by the delays
anu unncuitiet of getting their pro
duce to market. If extensive repairs
anu reconairucttons are attempted the
laxci on larm property will be con
siderably increased. If the money
paiu lor putting the roads in order is
expended by people who understand
making roads, and who are honest as
well as Intel heent. It will be nrofltablv
invested. Good roads cost, but they
also pay. we ought to have them
I he American Farmer says : To tome
extent the principle! which are in
volved in making and maintaining
nignwayt also apply to farm roadt. If
no roads are provided, or if the roads
which are made are not kept in order,
uie uitnouity, and consequently the
expense, oi moving loads to aud from
tbe barn is considerably increased. To
provide and keen in order eood farm
roads will involve some expense, but
tne cost win be many times repaid by
the increased facilities they afford for
carrying on some of the important
larm operations.
wiiiio every larm of much size
neods one or more good rootle over
which the heavier loads should be
drawn there are places which are in
more urgent need of attention than
are the farms ss a whole. Wet, or
sou spots, and lullnides should have
good road beds, even if a general sys
tern of road-making for the farm can
not immediately be Adopted. It prob-
biy requires more than twice the
power to draw s given load through
one ot tbe "mud-boles" which are
found on so many farms than it does
to move it over a fairly good road. As
for drawing a load up hill, every
one who has had experieuce teaming
on an uneven farm knows that the
power required is much creator than
is needed on a level road. It not in
frequently occurs that small loads
must be drawn from the most distant
arts of the farm because there are
one or two bad spots between that
point and the barn. A little work on
these spots would open a pretty good
road for the whole distance. If fairly
well done it would last for years, but it
would pay to do this work if it had to
be repeated every summer. It would
save many long trips every season,
would prevent much annoyance both
the team and to the driver, and
Land on "the Quadrant."
Several communications have been
received by the Oregontan from per
tons who wish to know if it is advis
able for them to take up claims on the
"quadrant," a tract of land in Wash-
ingtuo county, the title to which is
now being contested by the govern
ment and tho (Southern Pacific com
pany. The Oregonian could not take
upon itself to offer any ad vine in the
matter. The case was decided by
Judge Bellinger a short time since in
favor of the government, but an ap
peal has been taken to the circuit
court. What the result will be only a
first-class prophet can tell. The pre
sumption probably is that the decision
will be sustained, but it win not ao to
presume too far in such matters. It
seems that where there are plenty of
public lands, the government's title to
which is undisputed, it it scarcely
worth while for any one to take up
land the title to which it in dispute.
It would probably be better to wait
till the title is settled than to take
chances of being involved in the trou
ble and worry which the settlers on
the quadrant have had to suffer.
There are nearly 500 claims taken
on tho quadrant, tome of them dating
back prior to tho time oi tne original
grant to the railroad company. Many
of the claims taken are timber, but
some of the settlor! who have been on
the laud for yeara have made valuable
improvements, and some have patents
on their land from the government.
The greater number of ths claims
have been taken tince 1885, when the
commiiBioner of the general land of
fice decided that the tract was open
for settlement. Some of tho claims
were taken previous to the grant be
ing made to tho railroad, anou lau,
but few were taken from 1872 op to
1885, whon the railroad grant was de
clarud forfeited. There are douiitless
very many olaimt vacant on the tract,
but at to the quality of the land or
timber the Oregonian b no definite
inforiustiou.
to
would enable tho farmer to push his
work much more rapidly than he
otherwise can do. In some cases the
hard pull comes at tome point where
ruts have been formed. Here there it
not merely a (treat increase in ths la-
Dor ol teams, hut there is also a severe
nd an altogether unnecessary strain
upon the wagons and carts. Many a
wheel has been spoiled, and a consider-
ble bill for repairs has been incurred,
by means of these ruts. The delay
aud inconvenience caused by such a
breakdown are always vexatious, and
the expense involved is not always
met with good humor. If the time
lost in waiting to have tbe necessary
repairs lo the wagon made were used
u putting the road into good condi
tion, future losses and annoyances
from this source might be avoided aud
occasion for the ubo of a good deal of
bad language would be prevented.
lo make first-class highways, over
which thousands of teams are lo pass
every year, requires a good deal of
scientific knowledge. Such knowledge
though valuable, is not indispensable
making farm roads. In order to
keep it dry and bard, ths road should
be a little higher in the midle than it
is at the sides. Ruts should be pre
vented by forming as solid a roadbed
us possible, and making repairs as soon
as the least depression in the wheel
tracks is observed. Where the road
posses through wet ground the bed
should be somewhat elevated and a
trench should be made at each side
for carrying off the surplus water. At
tention to these points, and to a few
minor matters which will snggest
themselves, will enable the farmer to
make, on his own land, roads which
ill fully answer all practical pur
poses.
Railroad Company Incorporated.
Mention was made in these columns
last week of the filing of articles in
corporating the South Shore Railroad
Company and Plymouth Realty Com
pany. The projectors of the enter
prise and incorporators of the com
pany are W. D. and G. II. Thayer, of
Plymouth, Columbia county, and Jag.
D. Chapman and C. G. Thayer, of Fre
donia, New York. The company is
incorporated undor the laws of Oregon,
and capitalized at $100,000, divided in
to 1,000 shares of $100 each. The
duration of the company is fifty years.
It is the intention of the company to
build and operate steam and electric
railways, ten miles or more in length,
both of whose objective points are in
Columbia county, and the principal,
office of the company will be at Plym
outh, two miles south of Rainier.
The company proposes to construct a
line of railroad from Plymouth to
railroad connection at Goble, a dis
tance of six miles, and "will also ex
tend their line into the interior a few
miles for the purpose of transporting
wood, lumber, shingles and other pro
ductions of tho interior districts which
are both numerous and valuable. G.
II. aud W. IX Player, of the same
company, have incorporated and orga
nized the Plymouth Realty Company,
which they have capitalised at $100,
000, for the purpose of dealing in real
estate in Oregon aud Washington.
This company has purchased a tract
of land known as the Donblebower
place, two miles south of Rainier,
which will be platted and put on the
market, and where the principal office
of both railroad aud realty companies
will be located. Ths incorporators
are all eaatern men and have ample
resources and plenty of rustle and
business capacity. They will be a
valuable addition to the business fra
ternity in this county, to which we
gladly welcome them and wish their
enterprise success.
