A. Huntley, J. U. Campbell, Harvey E. Cross and Charles II. Dye, of the Board of Trade, accompanied by Engineer Rands, made a trip to Staff ord Friday to inspect the proposed routes of the new road thut is con templated between Stafford and Wil lamette. The people of that sertiou are divided in opinion as to the feas ibility of the routes. One mile on the other side of the Tualatin river the sontiments of the.fariners drift apart. Some of them want to go north, as in this direction there is a steady up grade as far as Stafford, but the distance is betwoon one-lialf and three-quarter miles lougor than the southerly route, which is more expen sive to build than the northern road. Considerable objection lias boon ex pressed to the southerly route, as it is said that this road will run along fully 20 foot higher than Stafford, and will necessitate going up a hill and then down again.

County Clork Greenman has grunted many tiro permits of late to Clacka mas county farmers. These permits to set lire to slashings are issued in con formity with the new law that was paHsed at tho last session of tho stato legislature, and no permit can bo is sued for a longer period than throe days. Accordingly many farmers se cure several'permits, as there are many days when fire caunot bo started with safety. One man wants to burn slash ings that are lying on three sides of a sehoolhouse. and he must bo careful which way tho wind blows. Another has slashings to burn 15 feot from his barn and he can take no chunoes. Sorao farmers who have suffered from fire losses, caused by the carelessness of otherH, declare tho law is a good one, while others pick it to pieeeg and condemn the entire stato legislature for its enactment. i.' . 1-1 i 3 i r
