While wo hare no desire to dictate in the premises, yet feeling an Interest in common, at least, with every good citizen of the county in road matters we claim the right to expreaa fto opin ion ou All matters of pubiio import. In referring to the proceedings of the road meeting held at Vernonia two weeks ago we notice that there diversity of opinion regarding the kind of road, the route and plan of procedure to obtain the desired result While all of the propositions, if carried out, would be good, the question that should be moat seriously considered is the one which, other things being equal, could be carried forward to a successful termination, with view always to good results ' with the least money. Then again harmony of sen timent ia necessary. Without it no plan will succeed no matter how much money ia available.

A strong report favoring the rigid exclusion and deportation of alien anarchists has been made by the committee on ju diciary. The report savst "It is ad' mined on all hands the question is one of very great importance and that legislation on the subject is called for by every considenttiou of pubiio safely The committee advises that owing to the severe legislation recently adopted by France and Italy, a great many dangerous anarchist are making their way to the United Btates, and as uu der existing laws they cannot be de nied admission to our territory, the United State will soon be the remlex voua ot these human monsters unless the prop.sed legislation is speedily adopted. "Your committee is ot the opinion the United States is fully justified by the existing conditions in using all its power to prevent the immigration and settlement in this country ot men who repudiate all law, all government and practically proclaim themselves ene mies of mankind. "Your committee has no disposition to hamper the rigorous and prompt exeoution of all laws providing for the exclusion and deportation of these classes by unnecessary proceedings and delays, and is now willing to con cede that the superintendent of Immi gration and the secretary of the treas ury may be fully trusted to confine the operation of the law to those justly subjeot to its provisions." Committed Suicide. Cottaok Gbovb, Or., Aug, SO. Lane Bhortridge, aged twenty-three years. was found this morning just inside the door of Hebron church, eight miles from here, with a ballet hole through his head. It is supposed he had been Iving there since 10 o'clouk last night. His condition is very uncertain. The ball entered trie right temple and lodged in the upper part of the left jaw. It is reported that Short ridge was deeply in love with a certain Miss Powell, and had asked her to marry him. Being refused, he determined to kill himself. Yesterday he came to a drug store and wanted to obtain laudanum for his mother, as she was suffering severely with the toothache. It seems Sliorlridge first tried to take his life with the laudanum, and being unsuccessful, shot himself. Mississippi valley. T Hist does not want to be un derstood as being especially in favor of St. Helens as against other places for the starting point for the proponed Kehalam road. On the contrary, Co lumbia county's interests come first, and if the people decide to build a railroad, wagon road, or make any other substantial improvements, we ay, Amen. Hast plans and suggestions have been advanced regarding a road across the mountains to the Nehalem valley. Pubiio sentiment on this side of the mountain seems to favor a steam motor line, and the most practicable route lb on surveyed out about three years ago by a party in St. Helens, which follows up Milton creek to or near Peris, then across the divide at toe Dead oi the uiauxanie and over into and down the valley of Oak Banch creek to Nehalem river, thence up said river to Yernonia, or any other point which might be selected in that the scheme and waiting for others to act will not accomplish anything, and the longer the people wait for outsid ers to act the greater the diversity of opinion will be, and harmony and co operation au absolute impossibility. Whatever plan decided upon should be taken in hand by our own people and pushed forward under their supervision exclusively. "The Lord helps those who help themselves," is a motto very appropriate just at this time; and if the Portland General Electrio Company or any other com pany see fit to aid in the good work, all well and good. But independent ac tion should be the guide board in this matter. None other, in our opinion, will or can succeed. At the meeting to be held at Yer nonia tomorrow, as we nave been in formed, some definite steps are to be taken, and all interested ehould be present. It is a matter in which every man, woman and child iu Columbia county snouid teei an interest, it is not a question of politics but one common cause in which the welfare of Supplies from Mew York. Naw Yobk, Aug. 2L The British steamer Cam, which arrived today from Cooaaw, S. C, Is bound for Yokohama, Japan, and will carry a large quantity of arms and ammunition to tbatooun try. The Cam's agents admit that she is going to carry arms to Japan, but refuse to say who are either the consignors or the consignees. They say that already they htve secured eight tons of cartridges and fuses and fifty cases of arras for shipment. The Cam ia a British vessel, and there may be some peculiar complications in case the Chinese fleet should iutercept her as carrying articles contraband of War. The Japanese nobles have sub scribed 180,000,000 as a fund to be used iu the prosecution ot the war. This fund draws no interest. Thus it will be readily seen that the Japanese have unlimited confidence in their country's ability to successfully cot with China, although the latter coiin- try has about eight meu to the formor'i one. The Japs are far superior to the Chinese iu point ot modern warfare and consequently stand a better chance of sucocss against their loss civilised aud densely ignorant foe.

Daly, of Dal las, was killed by being thrown from her buggy, while goiiiK to churchrlast Sunday, in a runaway accident. The horse, in turning a grade, began to kick and run, and her husband, who waa driving, asked her to jump from the buKgy. She, in alighting, struck her bead against au oak stump, and her skull was broken. Doctors were summoned to ber aid, but she died iu two hours after their arrival. The husband escaped with a slight acci dent. The family is prominently con uected in Polk county. Bacteria In the SolL Some investigations carried out by Dr. Alexander A. Houston of Edin burgh respecting the number of bac teria in the soil at different depths from the surface goto prove that the micro-organisms become less and lees abundant aa the depth from the surface increases. For example, the average number of germs in a gram of soil examined, which was taken from the surface, was 1,687,799. At a depth of 3 feet this average fell to 173,807, and at a depth of 0 feet it was only 410. These figures are in teresting and would tend to show that at a certain definite distance from the surface the soil would be sterile. British Medical Press. Tbey nave it within their grasp to build and equip a railroad from the fertile Nehalem valley te the Columbia river. But will tbey do it, is the all important question f The plan sue gee ted at the Vernonia meeting two weeks ago is, in our opinion, a good one. By issuing labor certificates, which ought to be taken in exchange for merchandise by our merchants and by tbem exchanged for stock in the company, the roadbed could be built, and when that is done the road bed would be guiltedged security for sufficient funds to equip the road. There is no business man who cannot readily see that such a road, tapping the splendid belt of timber that it does and terminating in such a fertile valley, and last but not least a region with an unlimited amount of eoal, would from its completion be a paying investment. Indeed, after the first six miles from the Columbia river is complete it would tap a sufficient belt of Umber to yield an income, with which to further the construction. We might add in this connection that to insiirs the success of the undertaking ao great amount of attention should be given -euUide manipulators.

There were 15 in the boat when it upset, and 10 of them managed to reach shore in safety. They had been in tbs habit of coming through the surf almost daily without accident.

Astobia, Aug. 20. John Cam no. a half-breed Indian, shot and killed Peter Maitson, a rancher, at Seaside, last night at 8 o'clock. Cam po was intox icated at the time, and a knife had just been taken away from him by K. L. Eberman, a saloon-keeper. Campo, enraged at being disarmed, secured a rifle and hunted up Eberman. He fired through the door of the saloon, the ball passing through Malison's neck, killing him instantly. Consta ble Stanley brought the murderer to this city this morning. Mattson was one of the pioneer ranchers of Clatsop plains. Meeded in Japan. Riverside, Cal., Aug. 21. One of the most important men in this coun try in bis relation to the present con troversy between Japan and China, and one who is likely to prove an im portant factor in a direct way, and he is certain to in an indirect way, in the war raging over Corea, is Col. J.R Waseon, of Sedalia, Missouri, formerly a well-known officer ol the United States army. The Japanese govern' ment has sent for Colonel Wasson, and urged him to repair at once to the seene of the conflict.
