More over, the evidence In the case clearly justified the verdict, being far mors direct and conclusive than on the first trial. The defendant went on the stand and admitted his offanse, relying qpon a tech nicality to protect him front punishment. That technicality will have to' be passed upon by the higher court, but the evidence of the defendant himself and others was so clear that his guilt was plainly estab lished. He may escape on the plea that he entered into the illegal agreement in another jurisdiction, but he is moraljy guilty as found by the jury. Perhaps Burton is not satisfied, but he can rest assured that everybody else in the country is. But, though ha has been convicted the second trial being far stronger than on the first, he will fight on, and in the meantime wiil hold his seat in the senate. The latter fact suggests that the senate itself should take some means of getting rid of him. It is a disgrace to that body to have convicted criminals sit ting with it, and it should be able to find a way to induce such a one as Burton to resign. To be sure. Burton will not actually sit, but he will hold the seat will draw his salary, and he will continue to be the senator from Kansas. Maurice O.'Eldridge, assistant director in the board of U. S. public road inquiries, in an article published by the department of agriculture. Bulletin No. 136, on earth roads, presents some figures on the cost of moving farm produce pver' country roads, which the Observer reproduces. These figures are given because it is believed that they are of much greater value to the people of Union county than expensive dispatches about distant peoples. Mr Eldridge writes: "Accurate tests lave shown thit a horse which can pull m a level road 1,000 pounds, on a rise 1 fbot in 100 feet can draw only 900 I foot in 60 feet can draw only 810 1 foot in 44 feet can drav ceff 750 ! foot in 40 feet can draw at'.t 720 foot in 30 feet can era sir; 40 I foot in 25 feet can draw on j " 4 I foot in 24 feet can draw ariy 5 0 t foot in 20 feet can draw sxi f 4- 1 foot in 1 0 feet can draw only Hi lt will therefore be observed that wbts the grades are 1 foot in 44 feet a horse can draw only three-fourths as much as ha can on a fevel. Where the grade is 1 foot in 24 he can draw one-half as much as on a level road. The difficulty as wti as the cost of hauling is therefore neces -arily increased in proportion to the roug' -ness of the surface or steepness of t e gride." Senators or representatives of the United States must actually make, the journey to Washington to receive the milage to which they are entitled. In the case of the Oregon men this mileage totals $1,250. Senator Mitchell and Represen tative Williamson and Hermann must actually make the trip during the fifty ninth session or lose this money. , Call up Main 29 for NEW WALNUTS ALMONDS : BLEACHED SULTANAS Cluster Raisins Muscatel Raisins , ' titron ami Lemon THJl r .-.

Some cities have ordinances to compel such action on the part of property owners. If there is anything that pleases the farmer it is to receive good prices for his products. Such a condition of the market has existed this year and of course the Union county farmers are happy. They have realized top prices for grain and almost everything else. 3 i Centennial Hotel Under new management. Board and Room $5 per week. cash. Meals 25cts. Special rates furnished monthly patrons.
