Senator Burton has been convicted
again. . The jury round him guilty on
every count of the indictment. 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. ,

Now is the time to commence the
winter right Clean off your side walk
after every snow storm. 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.
