IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHWAYS.
There hat been many expression
of dissatisfaction of late, or, in fact,
for two or three years, with regard to
the expense upon the couuty m
Bating from various sources, and es-
Deciallv from the mode ot practice in
maintaining and improving the public
highways of the county, ine la
now in force in this state governing
road supervisors, providing the method
of collection of road taxes and for .the
improvement of highways, has never
been satisfactory, generally speaking,
yet the proper remedy does not seem
to have been discovered. Indeed
herein lies the difficulty. It is easy to
discover a fault, but the remedy is not
always at hand. Many remedies, bow
ever, have beeu suggested, by perhaps
as many different people, but opinions
widely differ as to the best method of
bettering the condition ot highways
Bills against the county for the eerv
ices of road supervisors are generally
considered as exorbitant comparatively
with the amount of actual work per
formed in the interest of tbepublic,
and all because the law governing the
nrocedure teems to be either not
properly constructed or too loosely
construed. The legislature bas re
peatedly attempted to enact laws for
better service on we puoiio nignways
at lest cost to the people, but the state
it divided into two natural and dis
tinct sections east and west whose
road laws, owing to different climatic
conditions, should be adverse to each
other, and for this reason it is hard to
pass laws which would be beneficial lo
both sections of the state. A road law
that would auit Western Oregon
would not meet the approval of the
astern part of the state, and visa
' versa. So that it seems special dis
trict lawt would be the remedy first,
and the method second.
It has been suggested by a number
of prominent taxpayers, in lieu or lb
alleged poor service on the public
highways at great expense, that the
law be so changed that the number of
road supervisors bo decreased oy i
creating the tixe of road districts, say
to tbe site of election precincts, or
perhaps in tome instances, smaller,
and that road supervisors be elected
at the general election every two years
instead of being appointed by the
county court as at present. By this
means the people to be served would
be permitted to select their servant,
and if the services rendered were not
satisfactory the voters in that preciuct
would be the judge and exercise their
prerogative at the next election ; thns
placing the responsibility upon tbe
people in the district, who would be
in a position to better judge the
merits of tbe incumbent than would
be the county court. It has also been
suggested that no road district be per
mitted to spend more than a certain
sum of money upon any bridge with
out first receiving permission from the
county court.
Tbe foregoing are merely suggest
ions by prominent taxpayers, as stated
before, wbo desire to have the views
of others throughout the county who
are interested in better thoroughfares
at to bow better services may be ren
dered through a change in the present
law. Tbe columns of The Mist are
free at all timet to any who desire to
discuss the subject. -
largest cities by the census of 1890.
This it not merely an aooident of the
present time. The rural district have
alwayt been proliflo in political lead
ers, and will always probably continue
to furnish a considerable majority of
our recognised statesmen.
Thb methods applied in the school
electiou last Manday in Portland aud
other of the larger towns of the state
for the success of certain candidates
for school director are not conducive
of the good results for which the pub-
ho schools of tbe country are calcii
lated. Indeed it is a deplorable eon
diu'on of affairs when the public school
interests are dragged down to such
depths of degradation and corrupt
practices as were witnessed tn the
larger cities last Monday for the pur-
nose of controlling the S'-hool ma
chines in the interest of one faction or
the other. School matters should have
no place in the wheel of political ma
chinery, and the scenes of last M inday
should make this fact apparent tt
every man, woman and child interested
in the betterment of educational fa
cilities through the great medium of
the public school.
It appears that sugar is now being
produced in Cuba only under military
protection, and at a largely increased
expense. In one case, it is stated, toe
grinding of 10,000 bags of it has cost
120,000; and heavy taxes are imposed
in addition to the burden ol maintain
ing a cordon of police around the
property. This means that the con
tinuance of the war is sure to make
sugar higher in the Uuited States;
and such a faot is in itself a sufficient
justification for interference on the
part of our government.

TEMPER OF THE SPANIARDS
Boycott Placed Upon United
States Products.
W consider it our duty to urge upon
the voters of this county the necessity
of each one of yon attending the pri
maries. ' It is necessary to success in
tbe Jnne election that the action of
the convention be in accordance with
the wishes ef a majority of the people
tbe whole people, if possible. The
results of the primary elections should
be the spontaneous expression of our
people, and in order to accomplish
this every voter should express his
aantiments by his ballot in the pri
mary. If the clubs throughout tbe
county could muster their forces and
Tote their sentiments on that day,
then would the hardest of tbe battle be
von and victory at the polls be an as
sured fact. By all meant let your
presence be noted on that day at your
paimary election.
A wood flume into St. Helens from
Milton creek by which tbe vast quan
titea of timber in that section could
be converted into cash wouid be of
greater benefit to this locality than
any other one thing now being agita
ted by our people. It matters little
who the promoters of the enterprise
are, its success would be ths means
of distributing a large amount of cash
among the laboring classes and busi
ness men generally. It should not be
a question with persons owning right-of-way
as to whether or not tbe pro
jectors will make a large profit, for if
the investment proves a success to
them it will in like degree prove profit
able to those wbo find employment in
its operation. . In like degree also
would such a venture benefit our
merchants and other tradesmen.
It is a enrious fact that a large pro
portion of the members of the United
States senate live in country towns or
small cities. The only cities of 100,
000 or more inhabitants represented
in that body are St. Paul, Indianapo
lis, Albany, Providence, Kansas City,
Milwaukee, Newark, Detroit, Omaha
and Denver ; and not one of all the
senators resides in any of tbe thirteen
Spain's Naval Strength.
Wasbutotoi, D. O., March 2. Chief Con
structor Phillip Hlchborn has prepared a
statement of the relative fighting strength
of the navies of Bpain and the United
States, showing a decided superiority of
the American navy.
Referring to the fighting capacity of some
of the ships in commission Commodore
Hichborn ssys:
'"The Indiana, Oregon, Massaehusettes
and Iowa ar battle-ships, and the finest of
their class afloat. Tbey can fight on even
terms with any ship that was ever launched,
and, in my opinion, tbey are snperior to
95 per cent of any vessels with which tbey
may ever come in contact."
Cbief Hichborn makes the following com
parison of ths navies of tbe United States
and Spain :

American Flags Darned by Spanish
College Students-Other Ho
tile Demonstrations. .
Madbid, March 10.-Ther was a serious
anti-American riot at Salamanca yesterday
evening, and students burned American
flags amid tbe acclamation ot th crowds.
Gendarmes charged the rioters, ana
peraed them temporarily. Later th stu
dents reassembled and gathered another
mob about them. Th prefect exhorted
th students to disperse, but they booted.
Finally ths prefect was compelled to call
upon th polio for protection. Gendarme
again charged the riotous students, who
met the onslaught with showers of stones,
but order was finally restored. Th uni
versity has been closed.
Th demonstrations of patriotic fervor
and hostility to th United States were re
newed at Bilboa today, and efforts were
again mad to do violence to the United
States consulate. Th mob stoned the
Dutch consulate, having mistaken that of
fice for the consulate of th United States,
which was effectually guarded by th police
force.
Fanning the-Flame. '
Naw York. March 10. A dispatch to the
Herald from Barcelona, says:
The antt American sentiment here Is in
creasing instead of abatiug. Local news
papers ar fanning the Same. They state
that the United State can only pnt 40.000
men into the field, and that the American
navy is bat a trifle superior to the Spanish.
Careful investigation shows conclusively
that 8pauish politics have had a big hand !
in ths Barcelona disturbance. Nearly all
the inhabitants her are Catalans, and the
Catalans almost to a man are republicans.
They ar heartily opposed to the present
government and ar making demonstra
tions here against the United States with
the direct purpose of putting the govern
ntent in a bole and possibly causing its
overthrow. There is absolutely no enthu
siasm here over the Cubsn wsr. Whenever
tbe troops start for Cuba they are not syen
given a cheer.
A Calmer View.
MiosiD, March 10. A pamphlet has
been published, entitled "The United States
vs. Spain," which is believed to have been
written by ex-Minister Valera. It points
out the alleged injustice of congress and ths
writer says be believes there will be a re
vulsion of public opinion in th United
States as soon as the troth is known. He
regards the situstlon from an optorolstlc
standpoint, eulogises American women
and aays that the men are amiable and
hospitable to strangers whea not blinded
by self-esteem.
A dispatch from Barcelona aays that tbe
merchants of that city have agreed not to
sell American products in tbe event of
Cleveland approving the Cuban belligerency
resolutions. They have also opened a sub
scription toward a fund, which is to be de
voted to the purchase of war-ships.
