t W. S. Ladd, one of the foremost
'citizens of Portland, and one mil-
Tersally resjMwted,ilitd at bis home
In that city last Friday, Lesss than
forty years ago lie was a poor boy,
but at the time of his donlh lolt
over f 10,000,000 to his heirs. He
leaves two noble sons who will
wisely use their portion of the im
metm wealth left to their care
Wiu. M. and Charles R Ladd.
W, 8. Latld was always at the
' head of the list iu supporting en
terprises which would benefit Port-
laud, aud, unlike many other mil
liouaires there , lived to his death
in the town and state where he no
cumulated nisweait a. ne was a
Presbyterian, aud thousands ot
dollars were given by him towards
the cause of education.
There never was a time iu the
history of the West Side wheu it
w as so meagerly patronized by it
advertisers as at the present time;
and, ou the other hand, it was never
so prosperous iu the additions to
its subscription list, aud payments
of subscription for the coming year,
The reason is not hard to Cud the
state of trade is such that men who
are liberal advertisers are unable
to spcud the money, aud the read
era ef the paper are numerous who
are wanting to kuow why we have
Bnch a stringency in the money market-
People are thinking. Our
readers are hum of intelligence, aud
they realize that something
is radically wrong, and they
are demanding a remedy. The
remedy lies with the people. The
time will come wheu it will be em
ployed. '
The Oregon legislature is getting
down to work with Hon. C W.
Fulton, president of the Senate.and
W. P. lCeady,speakerof the House.
Bills innumerable have been intro
duced. Gov. Sylvester Pennoyer
has submitted his message, and it
abounds in strong and worthy rec
ommendations, among which are
are the iepeal of the pres
ent deductions for indebted
ness in taxation, the abolition of
railroad and other commissioners,
a maximum rate for railroads, tele
graph, and telephone lines, a bet
ter system of road laws, the pur
chase by the state of the locks at
Oregon City, the creation of a
State Auditing Board, and a por
tage railway at the dalles of the
Columbia, besides many others of
less prominence, such as a fish-ladder
at Oregon City, a liberal ap
propriation for the State Normal
, school at Monmouth, the building
of a jute factory to employ the con
victs in the penitentiary, to give all
state and county officers a fixed
salary. One of the recommenda
tions is to pay the state printer a
salary,the state to own its own plant
and should meet with but little op-
" position.
"If you are one of those who are
suffering from the unequal distri-1
bution of wealth you have only
yourself to blame," said a well-
known financier, ''you had the op
portunity, why did you not take
advantage of itl". Gov, Lewelling,
of Kansas, expresses our senti
ments when he said: "The 'sur
vival of the fittest' is the govern
ment of brutes and reptiles, anil
such philosophy must give place
to a governnieut which recognizes
' a human brotherhood to protect
the rights of the laborer and pro
ducer. Sectional animosities must
' be forgotten. The state is greater
. than party, but the citizen is greater
than the state, while the family the
citizen produces is the priceless
jewel of our civilization. The
problem is how to make it possible
' '. for the citizen to live by his own
labor. If it fails of these things it
ceases to be of advantage to the
citizen,, He is absolved from, his
allegiance, and is no longer held
by civil compact But the govern
ment is not a failure. This is a
generation which has come to the
- rescue. Conscience is in the sad
. die, and the grandeur of civilization
shall be emphasized by the dawn of
' a new era, in which the ' people
shall reign; when the withered
, hand of want shall not be out
stretched for charity; when liberty,
equality, and justice shall have
' permanent abiding places in tins
republic."

One cannot help but wonder why It
Is that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" always
proves a drawing card, and yet there Is
nothing very wonderful about when
once tlie plot and presentation of this
realistic drama is taken Into consider
ation, We have rcud "Uncle Tom's
Caliin" a many us twenty times aud
always with absorbing Interest, Und so,
too, we have seen it presented on tlie
stage forty times, mid It seems as If we
enjoy the last better than any previous
rendition, There are some plays like
"Uncle Tom" and "Kip Van Winkle"
thud will never wear out. There is
thut about the plot of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" a combination of drama, com
edy, wit, humor.and puthos,all blended
so uuturally and real Istlo that the au
dience lives through it all, become part
of the players ou tlie stage, and have
their sympathies aroused to a degree
that makes them feel as If they were
witnessing a real drama of evcry-day
life. Ingersoll.

Except In th vicinity of th largeat
oitlM in tbl vaat oouutry, with It mil
lion of agriculturist burled for all
month of each year In th oblivion bf
winter now and vernal mud, th oornv
try road ar a dUgrao and a inenaot to
human Uf. Our prevent road yttm,
a w term It, wa never intended to b
anything mora than a makwddft to cover
th iimnediaU necettte of pioneer Ufa.
In the half century covering the period
from 1880 to 1880 w expanded our great
railroad ytm. It teemed that oouer
or later wa thould be abl to bear th
oreaut of th whUtl at our very door,
and w wr proud of th prat ba-
towd by th world on our railroad.
Latterly w have been oouipelled to hear
with ihaut beeau of th truth of tit
amertion that our earth road art th
very wont under th tun. Th fact
mutt b apparent to every man that our
roaduiaater yteiu fall at vry point
to mt th neceMltle of our lnereaea
potratatlou aud advanced agricultural
hitemta, Th work that i dou i for
tli inoit part thrown away from lack
of knowledge of th fundamental prin
ciple of road oonatraction.
In th United Bute th altnott unt-
vernal euatom of road building i direct
taxation. A aupwvuor 1 appointed for
th year, who principal qualification
for th ofllo ia hi ability to do nothing,
which entitle him to atxmt three dollar
adayforhlmaelf and hi horMtolook
after th road of hi district. H mt
form Uil duty by oalllng out hi neigh
bor to work out their tax. Utuallyno
on among them kuow much about
road building, but every man, being on
of th ovreign peopl with a vote, con
ttitute hlmtelf an luspeoU.r of highway
and require a great deal of Urn to com
municate hi view to th uprvlor.
A an initanc of lack of practical
knowledge of road building, which char
acter! th ordinary tupervtaor, th
following extract from a letter of Mr.
Helim II. Peabody, of th World' fair
liberal arta bureau, to Colonel Pop ia
amnalug. to ay th least: "A crossroad
wa required to connect a highway along
a rtttge with th road in th valley be
low, four mile distant, pausing all th
way through a prlmltiv fort. Th
appropriation wa barely tufncleni to
build one-half th road, and th tuper
vior wa bent on building th full
width from th valley half way np,
(topping in th midst of th uninhabited
timber a road from tomewber to no
wher. An engineer theorist, however,
tnggeatod that h build a half width,
running clear through, with intromit
that, calling out th men who lived
boy and wanted to get down, with
tho from below who (ought to reach
the ridga, h got a rueful dngla track
from th ridge to the river a well a
th reputation of being a man of iup
rlor Judgment."
It I now generally understood that
onr railway ytem ha about reached it
conomlo limit. Th iron road havacom
a near our farm a possible. W must
now go to meet them. Th real cost of
transportation atlll remain in bullng
our crop from th Held to th tor
bouse and depot. Whatever w suffer
from high tariff on railroad, th chief
trouble i that a yet we have devised no
method to cheaply haul our crop out of
th field without large waste and wear
and delay. Our ahaiu i that w are
driviug our home in th Eighteenth
century while our tteam engine ran in
the Nineteenth.
Tlie etubbortme of our fanner in re
listing a change which wilt add one-fifth
to their producing capital in the next
half century can be overcome only when
they e that their low by th present
yitem far exceed any taving thateome
from working out their taxe.
Th goal at which we should aim a
our ultimate ia either tlie macadam or
th telford (tone road, Th cost of Dies
doe not materially differ, the telford
when well laid costing the larger mm.
The grading, draining and forming th
roadbed are of the same character and
require boat the same amount of ma
terial. The telford a ordinarily laid,
however, cost about twice a much a
the macadam. The latter i considered
by most eaglneer fully adequate to
tlie needs of this country. It consist of
a roadlMtd constructed of atone not to
exceed in diameter an inch and a half, j
Th harder the rock used th better
the road. The thickuee of th stone
bed should be twelve or fifteen inches,
although much i laid but six inches.
Th telford 1 laid on a bottom of larger
tone placed point upward. Macadam
boasted that he could build permanently
good roads over bog, and he did it,
using a thickness of seven inches only.
In this country it is not probable so thin
a layer would suffice on account ot the
severe freexlngs in winter breaking np
the solidity. The average cost of good
macadam 1 about 5,000 for a 80-foot
road and half that sum for a road of
fifteen feet. The roads proposed by the
Richardson bill for New York state are
to be nine feet wide and to cost but
$3,000 per mile. Fifty dollars will keep
mile of good road in repair for on
year.
While an important phase of the ques
tion ia how to secure stone roads, another
point is how to build our dirt roads until
we can get rid of them. The principle
of any good roadbed, whether of (tone
or dirt, is drainage, and no road that ia
not properly drained can ever be else
than an eyesore and a waste of good
money. It is not necessary that it should
be rounded, but it is imperative that it
be underdrained. The plan adopted by
road builders in Europe to get a good
bottom la to dig ditches four feet deep on
each side and another down the center of
the road, with crors sections. These are
tiled or stoned, and the water is carried
away by drains. In constructing roads
remember that money spent in obtain
ing a firm and dry roadbed will save a
vast amount of labor in keeping It what
very community should pride itself in
having good country roads.
