Two important trHtianorUtlou tn-
terprlw-a are drtitltuil to haw a wond
etM ellVct on the ptporlty Mini pop
ulatum of the Fapiflo enact ;om of the
is th Nicaragua canal, and the olht-r
the great Siberian railway. The t'lfW-l
of the railway through Silieri w ill In
to open to tettlenieut million!) of ai-rw-
of land now worthies on aeoount of
being too far removal from market.
These lands will be t, lauteil In cereals,
but a market will te ileveloped for our
manufactures and Instead of our traiia
contlncntal railroads bringing freight
for the Pacific count alone, thotiHaud ot
tons will cwm the water aud aupply
the Inhabitant of Kuiwiati 8lUrla.
The completion of the Xlcarnguaa
canal, will give an lucrea.ei iniHtU(t to
our ocean carrying trade and alo
largely Inerww our trade with Central
America. The vat importance of
these two enterprises on the Pacific
coast can ncarce be estinmted. There
is every indication that the Pacific
eoawt will le the nuwt denm-ly populated
of any part of the Went, and this will
be largely due to the great amount of
ocean carrying trade brought luto
existence by the completion of the
Siberian railway and Nicaragua canal.
The example of The Dalle, in
Eauteru Oregon, la worthy of Imitation.
Hot having competition In traiiNporta
tion they formed atettmboHt company
and were siuwsful In controlling the
freight business. The effect ou the
businew of the tow n wan very apparent
as it improved greatly. Ellorta were
made to buy the Block of the company
and cripple It, but without kuiwhh.
Now The Dalles is becoming a great
compi-tlve point In freights and the
railroads are bidding for the trade.
What has been done there could be
one In Independence,
Our people Bhould oiler every encour
agement for river transportation u
thereby this becomes a comieting
point and railroads will fuvor It. We
need better trannportatlon facilitieH on
the river. Let us encourage it.
Another evidence of the turn of tin
tide in business affairs is the publica
tion of the Monthly Orryonittn the fir!
copy of which has lxn received at
this cilice. Its mat n purpose is to di
rect hither the Increasing stream of
Immigrants now flowing westward
from thestorm swept and drouth cursed
middle west.
Were times not noticeably better, mzh
a publication would not have heeii
attempted. The Monthly Orryinian
will devote itself to benefiting th
entire state, and Its columns are filled
with articles from the leading papers
of Eastern and Western Oregon. It is
Impossible to estimate the value of such
a paper, an(' tne VVK8T Hidk earnestly

Why the cause of goisl roads meet
so little encouragement from farmers
has often piiM.lcd legislatures and edi
tors. It has i.een left for a Milwaukee
ne spasr to oiler the explanation thai
the good road dss iiot lieiicflt the
farmer so very much after all, the
townspeople being the real beneficiaries
and this view is bolstered up with such
a show of Ingeuulty that should in
crease the Milwaukee paper's circula
tion in the rural districts of Wisconsin,
Due great moving force for belter roads
is bicycle-riiling, and when the cyclist
urges the farmer to Improve roads by
work or by taxing himself, his reply is:
'You want us to build good roU so
you may ride ou them. If you w ant t
lance, w hy can't you pay the tiddler
yourselves'."' Again, the farmer hears
the merhant complaining of dull trade,
aud the excuse given for It Is the bad
condition ofthe roatls. Ho the farmer's,
defender a.ks: "Is It not strange thut
when the farmer is told by the city
ueonle of the vast benefits w hich will
accrue to him if he turns to and builds
good roads, he is Inclined to stick his
tongue into his cheek."
The best answer to this argumeut Is
the history of the effects of roadbuild
ing in progressive districts, as, for ex
ample, those in New Jersey, which
have recently taken advantage of the
new law In that state. In Burlington
county some Hue road i"Vp UtHl built
alsiut M.sircstown aud connecting It
with Camden. As a result toe rond
about Moorestowu and connecting it
with Camden have Ix-en Improved to a
very largo extent. The effect of it Is
seen lu a much brisker demand for
farms in that vicinity. For years pat
it has been exceedingly dllllcult there,
as in agricultural sections elsewhere, to
ettle estates owning farm lunds, w hen
there was a neccessity to sell, beinuse
purchasers were rare and oilers unin
viting. The improved roads have
changed this, und the farm lands near
Moorestown are In demand. In Cam
den county, on the line of Improved
roads, farmers find they can get their
produce to market cjulcker and cheiipei
'ban formerly. In the old time a
wagon webbing HUM) pounds, with four
horses and two men, tould take 2J tons
of produce to market, aud bring back
the siime weight of manure in a day, if
the team had gisid luik and escaped
getting mired. Now one man with
wo horses, in a wugou weighing 2.'i(Ki
pounds, curries foul tons forth and
hack, and makes the journey twice in
one day,
ltoud work has not had much atten
tion in Oregon for some years. Hut is
it not possihle that lu these New Jersey
experiments may be found a valuable
suggestion to aid In solving the prob
em of breaking up these "(X)-and 800
icre farms in the Willamette valley?
loug many parts of the valley lyiii)
'iiiiguous to the river the roads arc
overed with water In long stretches
during I he winter. In the summei
ihese roads are dusty. In hilly coun
ties, like Washington and Polk, aud, in
fact, In thii foothill regions of all the
valley counties, most ofthe roads are
rough and uneven at (ill times of the
year, muddy In winter, and lu summer
is'sct with roots, stones stumps and
uts. It is often a source of wonder
why the farms in these regions are not
more sought after, and why more of the
yet untcniinteo foothill lands are not
brought under cultivation. Who shall
say how much of this slowness Is not di
rectly due to the In accessibility of the
land by reason of our poor roatls? One
ofthe most potent enterprises for the
settlement and development of these
districts would lie a good-roads move
ment, participated in cordially by farm
eg and townspeople jointly.
