town of Clatekauie, where they intend
to erect large dry houses, planing anil
shingle mills, etc, says Monday's Ore
gunian. Home 2800 feet of flume Is al
ready completed and the material for
construction Is flurried "to the front,"
thus greatly expediting the work, the
planks, etc.. being all cut to the right
lengths and fitted at the mill. The
flume haa a 6 per cent grade, and as
may be imagined, the lumber goes down
it like soatmuds down a sink. Ho Ionic
as the head of the Hums is kept filled
with water, nothing can stop on It, but
must hurry on to the exit. The com
pany owns an almost inexhaustible sun-
ply of timber in the region where ita
mill Is located.

Nearly every atate in the nnion is tak
ing some active measures to secure bet
ter public highways and many of them

profitable one. In some instances
saving of aa high as 60 per cent has
been made the people in the annual out
lay for vehicles and horse and the ad
vance in the property valuation aa a
result of the improved transportation
facilities ha greatly exceeded all expec
tation. In spits of the experiences of
other state and the fact that an im-
Jiroved condition of tbe public thorough
ares is needed here more badly than in
almost any other portion of the coun
try, Oiegon legislatures obstinately re
fuse to enact any measures that will
bring relief to the people. They not
only refuse to make appropriations of
state funds for road building but they will
not even pas laws so that the money
raised by tbe people through special
taxation can be judiciously expended.
One great drawback which Oregon has
to contend with il the fact that there is
too much politic and not enough busi
ness sense used in the administration of
her public affair. Astoria Budget.
