the tramp evil would soon come to an end,

united to his taste. So long as there is an
elsewhere, the chain-gang holds no terrors
for the tramp. He avoids it by making his
installment collections in that too frequent
locality. Absolute abolition of the else
where and complete, certain and universal
existence of the chain-gang would w ork a
reformation, ror a short time it might add
a tritle to municipal expenses, but it would
tie economy in the end, considered merely
from the standpoint of olice expenditures,
the relief or the community from depreda
tions and the traveling public from the
haunting fear of railroad accident would be
important results.
IMPORTANT MEETING.
The fifth session of the Trans-Mississippi
congress will assemble in Ogden, Utah, on
Monday, April 24. Its session will be pre
ceded by a convention of the Inter-Mountain
Cattle Growers' association, w hich will
meet on Thursday, April 20. The two
events will render Ogden the center of at
traction during that week.
The Denver News prints a special de
scriptive article of the coming event which
foreshadows its importance. Its perusal is
commended to all who are interested in the
advancement of western Interests by the j
TIIEF DOUBLE VAL UES.
A gentleman formerly from Ohio who has
recently been ovsr the roads of Clackamas
county, says that the great need of this
county is good roads, and that he is firmly
convinced that the development of thin
section depends more on the building of
gooi roads than upon any other factor. The
material is on hand for constru'-tion and
there is great need of them just now. That
they will be a great convenience and qaite
comfortable is conceded by all, but that
they will much more than pay for them
selves is not appreciated by many. The
best way to know this without actual trial
here is to base judgment upon the experi
ence of others, which has invariably been
mat they were a wise Investment. The
gentleman above referred to, and who is not
a resilient of this county, cited several in
stances in Ohio where a system or public
turnpikes had been adopted and built by
taxing land within two miles, benefited bv
the improvement, and the result had been
that instead or impassable roads they now
nae nne public highways everywhere, and
land which prior to the building of these
was not worth forty dollars per acre now
sells readily at eighty dollars, and the im
provements, even where there were several
cross assessments, did not amount to five
dollars per acre. The just conclusion or
the matter then is, that whether a man
wants to stay on his farm ami use the
roads which are built, or whether he wants
miner, and they are left with mine too
much of this world's goods to fight the wolf
from the door. It will deprive no one of
anything to permit some responsible eiti
tvn to nominally hold the office, while the
family perform the duties ami receive the
pay.

brought together the leading commercial
minds of the West, and numbered among
, their delegates the most energetic and en
terprising of those who stand at the front
of all movements for developing the re
sources of the Trans-Mississippi region.
The congress about to assemble at Ogden
will be no exception to those that have pre
ceded it in this regard. Representative citi
zens from all the states, territories and cit
ies of the vast territory between the Missis
sippi and the Pacific have signified their in
tention of being present, and the occasion
is one that is certain to result in beneficial
influence on the growth of the entire west
ern country.
It is also confidently anticipated thct all,
or nearly all. or the governors of the states
and territories of the Trans-Mississippi
country w ill be present, thus adding dignity
and importance to an otherwise great event I
and assuring an assemblage which will be
truly representative in its character. A
world's fair train bearing these executives
with their stalls to Chicago to attend the
inaugural eiercises of the Columbian expo
sition is among the announcements which
will lend interest to the general program.
There will be many able papers and ad
dresses presented to the congress which
will treat of the various topics in which the
people or the west are especially concerned.
Public lands, arid lands and reservoirs, sil
ver, the improvement or the Mississippi
and the Missouri, and of Pacific coast har
bors, deep harbors on the Texas coast these
and similar topics will come before the con
gress for the consideration of its members.
Of course it w ill cost more to build roads
here than In level prairie countries, but
after this country is develoed it will be
worth much more than most of the land in
the East. There is not a county in Oregon
so favorably situated for an advance in the
price ol agricultural lands as this same
Clackamas county, and the time is now ripe

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
The Oregonian makes the action of Colfax,
Wash., in sentencing the tramp to three
months labor in the chain gang the subject
of a timely editorial. It says:
Colfax, Washington, congratulates itself
upon freedom from the tramp nuisance, be
cause of the practice adopted of sentencing
vagrants to three months imprisonment
with labor on the streets. Tramps averse to
labor, an aversion deep Beated and univer
sal, have shaken the dust and mud of Col
fax from their assorted shoes. They go else
where in search of the living the world owes
them and which they spend all their life in
collecting in small installments. The failure
of the Colfax plan is the ability of the
tramp to find that elsewhere. If there were
no elsewhere, if the living he has charged
up against the world could only be collected
In the chain-gang, lie would balance the ac
count and endeavor to earn a living in a le
gitimate way. When the tramp, like the
dove from Noah's ark, finds no place on the
face of the earth for the sole of his foot, the
face of the earth will know him no more.
Lack of system, and the natural desire of
city authorities to avoid expense, are the
chief obstacles to repression of the tramp
evil. Here in Oregon, since so many rail
Toads have reached us from the more dense
ly populated East, tramps have increased
like the warriors from the dragon's teeth
and no common-sense effort is made to get
rid of them. The usual practice in the ru
ral cities and towns is to lock them up over
night and make them leave the town in the
morning. There is nothing repressive
about this, since it supplies the wanderer
with a night's lodging and a meal, and sets
him free to go on bis way in quest of an
other installment of Hying charged to the
world's account. At best it is but shifting
the burden -but a change of the locality of j
the evil. To keep a tramp in Jail Is an ex-
this desired growth is good roads.
Tun advantages of a substantial brick
building over cheap fire-traps has not usu
ally been considered by business men in
this city, consequently there has been little
encouragement to property owners to put
up substantial structures. Especially was
this the case where cheap buildings stood
on the land which could be rented for as
good or better return on the investment than
a fine brick. But several of these are
now standing id'e or used at a low rental,
ana there is a growing disposition on the
part ol renters to demand good buildings as
they are always safer and cheaper in the
long run. The one item of insurance is an
important factor to the merchant who car
ries a large stock. Will he pay eight or ten
per cent, in a cheap wooden structure with
danger of burning or will he pay less than
two in a good brick store where his property
is comparatively safe. The tendency is now
towards the better class of buildings, and it
is probable that a number or fine brick
blocks will be erected in Oregon City in the
near ruttire, as it is to the interest of both
property owner and renter to have better
buildings.
Pnn.ADEi.rmA is in many respects the
ideal of what large cities should he in re
spect to the homes of the city. It has a
larger proportion of its workmen living in
homes of their own than any other large
city in the United States. This commenda
ble condition is due more to the existence
of numerous well conducted building and
loan associations than to any other one
thing. These associations have enabled
poor men to get a start and to pay for
homes of their own, which gives a stability
to population obtainable in no other way.
Any move in this direction in Oregon City
at this time is to be commended, as it will
tend to keep here a better class or citizens
who, under the beneficent plans and opera
tions of a building association, will build
their own homes. The effort being made to
organize a local board or a building associa
tion here is a move in the right direction.

Ouk Needy correspondent wishes to know
whether teachers and others will draw their
pay from the county treasurer under the
new law. No. The law makes a dilforence
only in the collections of the tax, which is
to be done under the new law by the county
collector instead of by the school clerk. The
school clerk will get the money for the dis-
uici ironi me county treasurer ine same as
he now does the apportionment, and orders
will be presented to the clerk and paid by
him the same as in the past.
