gonian. Alter it had been there for
some 1 1 ins he concluded he would like
to have the animal, and so when In town
one day asked the owner how he would
trade the horse for a little pnirof mules
he had. He was told that if he wanted
the horse he could send up the mules
and -keep the horse, and It would bo all
right. A day or two after he went out
to find hia horse and came across the
carcass, which had been dead for weeks
and was nearly eaten up by crows. As
a bargain was a bargain and his bargain
had been unconditional, he had no fault
to find and made no complaint, but the
man who had received the mules, learn
ing of the facts in the case when he
came to settle hi bill for pasturage,
added (fiO to the amount and made the
matter square. There are not many
honedealer who would have thought of
doing this.
People of the Upper Columbia region

been favorable for an inundation. The

year than usual, which Is an indication
that the snow hss not yet begun to melt
in the upper country, and if the weather
should continue cool for while longer

cause the snow to melt in a short time,
there is no doubt that big flood will
come.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
Vaanoiru, April 7.-(To tub Edik).)
-1 have heard so inuuli talk for so long
a time about roads, bad hills and mud
hole that I am about to essay upon the
suujeoi uiyneii. Aa it rain so much
here It is hard to make good roada. still.
there 1 no good reaaon why they are
not more passable than they are. In
the first place many hills could be
avoided and the roada could be made
straigiiter and shorter. Thl alone
would nave many hard pull. In the
second place there are the Innumerable
mud hole to contend with. I would
recommend rook and .gravel for auch
places. Both gravel and atone can be
obtained along a greater part of our
roads, but it require work and time,
with good judgment and some experi
ence to make good road any place.
Let us take fair look at our roads and
see bow they are patched no. In the
ruta you will find poles laid lengthwise
with loot dirt thrown over them, and
in the mud holes you will find chunks
of bark, large Or knot, brush and moat
anything that can be obtained easy to
make it look better. In the third place,
if you should drive over many of our
roaii you will find large root in the
wheel track, so large that the tongue of
the wagon will lash a horse back and
forth an the wheel pasttc over them, and
you will see loss sawed off so that the
ends almost scrape the wagon box a
tne vehicle passes, or the hubs strike the
protruding obstacle. Thi ha been o
for years. In many placea tree stand
so near the wagon tracks that great
holes have been worn in their bodies by
the wagon bubs, and no effort bas been
made to widen the track. Good road
work should talk tome for Itself, and if
well done will be a recommend for the
man, andaome inducement to vote for
him again. About cross-lavs. I find
some on the roads that are neither laid
nor let alone, and it ia so rouzh that
a horse can scarcely walk, lay nothing
of pulling a load. We cannot blame all
the road boase because they have not
been where good road exist, but tome
have, aud still all these fact stare the
public in the face. Hoping our roads
will receive more attention in future, I
am ever, Good Koapkb.
