SOME FJSM STATISTICS. Tm city election passed off very quietly and resulted in the main about as was ex pected. With strong opposition to several men now in office, and the determination to have a change of some sort, the condition was used for all that it was worth. The re sult of the ballot shows that it as a free for all, and thateverv man voted as he pleased regardless of party affiliations. Orvlll. lHilnga.

Mr. Randall la In th. ..!. ..I ..'."r.' -.TZT""" "n vu u Tin people of the Ely neighborheod have only themselves to blame that they are not to be represented in the new council. Had they worked for representative in that body Instead of fighting as to who it should be they would not have been left in the soup. It serves them right. Whim the president, his cabinet officers and the members of congress walk up and pay the income tax collector it will be time lor the lay bretheren to contribute to the treasury's wants. Suggestions i The mortgaged farms constitute but one fourth of the total number of farms in the United State, the other three-quarters be ing owned free of incumbrance. The aver age mortgage representsone thin! the value of the farm upon which it is secured, but the total amount o! farm mortgages is hardly one-tenth the value of all our farms. In Is-), nearly one-fifth ot the mortgages Indebtedness rested on farms, but in farm mortgages represented only one seventh of the country's indebtedness on real estate. Out of every hundred Ameri can farms more than seventy are fully paid, and less than thirty are mortgaged. Out of every hundred families living on farms in ISO, forty-seven owned their farms free of mortgsge, twenty owned but with incum brance, and thirty-two hired the farms they lived on and worked. Ot these who culti vate their own farms, seventy per cent own without incumbrance, and only thirty per I , . . . . . .. . their trou rem. nave mortgages, naruiy ten per cent of the hired farms are incumbered. Four-fifths of the amount of debt on farms nd homes was Incurred to buy and im prove the pro(rty, and a like portion of the number of farms and homes were mort gaged for the same purpose. These are the results indicated by the census returns as far as made up one in quiry complete for thirty-three, the other for twenty-two, out of our forty-nine states nd territories. Can any other nation in the world make so favorable an exhibit of its farmers' condition? It is the more re markable here, because of the marvelous changes in American agriculture since the war, the vast area ol new land that has been converted into farms, and the consequent downward tendency to values of farms and farm products. Tin president s message on the Hawaiian question reads much as though he were trying te say nothing and feared he might not succeed In the attempt FOR GOOD ROAHS. the Southern 1'acitlc railroad company, and resides at Woodville, but his farm Is In this neighborhood.

TBinew taritl bill w hich has the hearty endorsement of the president is not framed in the interest of the producer of raw mate rial except in rare Instances where the de mands of the democratic party made it ap parent to the committee that it was impera tive that a degree of protection should be retained. The South and a few of the New England states are to be controlled in the in terest of democracy by this measure which aims to give the manufacturer of the East ample protection and at the same time se cure to him the advantage of cheaper, so called raw materials to be converted into manufactured goods. In the furtherance ol this scheme the farmer is to be ignored and left to shift for himself as best he can His sheep, his barley, his eggs, bis meats, hi vegetables, are all to be considered as raw material and are to be sold in his own market in competition with the same goods produced by foreigners whose labor is not near a valuable as that of the farmer and his help in this country. The avowed in tention of the bill according to Chairman Wilson is tomake these products cheaper for the laborers in the factories. Now it would bother even a free trade democrat to explain to the satisfaction of the producer how the buyer is to get the product of the farm cheaper and the fxrmer who raises these things be benefitted by the transac tion. The bill is so manifestly against the interests of the farmer and the manufac turer outside of the North Atlantic coast that all other sections ought to rise up as a unit against it Tbc manufacturer of New England is asked to believe that tha new revenue bill will bring about such a condition a will greatly promote his interest. This may be true. Certainly if be is not benefitted no one in this country may reasonably hope to be. But what about the rest of this great country 1 ' Miibte Willis seems to have been born with more good horse sense than his im mediate predecessor, "my Commissioner Blount." The presdent may yet thank the good tense of Minister Willis that both feet of the administration are not in the mud dle np to the knees. Th tarifl-for-revenue-only-bill having passed the White House first will not have to be returned to the president for his sig nature after having passed the other two houses. New wrinkle, this, to originate bills in tha White House. The populist ought to Impeach the executive for Infring ing on their prerogative. Cla Ceefk, Pec. 3. To nit Eimto: Having cast mv lot among you by becoming a resident ol your' county, allow me the privilege of atating a thought or two in hopes ol otlending none and benefitting ma ny. Being a tiller of the soil my remarks ! (j ' are more particularly aouresseo to tins class of people than any other. Observation inclines me to think some farmers Snd too much time in attending granee and wearing out the back part of sers. This sentence is not thrown in for the purpose of casting a stigma on the grange fraternity, as the writer is in full sympathy with the order. Some things are of far more Importance than others. Among those which should receive our first attention are good schools and good roads or public highways. The first tends to main tain the stability of our government, while the latter no less atl'ects our convenie-ice and prostierity. Hear what a high author ity states in reference to roads in the state of Illinois where the highways are fur bet ter than they are in Oregon : "Thecost of hauling furru products is at least 15,0o0.O) more than it would be if roads were improved, and that such im provement would add $IG0.0j0.rarar to the value of the farms. Properties on mud roads cannot be sold, while those on mac adamized roads have increased in value in many sections from $. to Vftiper acre." With these facts and figures before us let us ask the taxpaying farmers of Clackamas county if it would not be expedient io im prove our thorough fares T Each road dis trict shauld make and keep at least one good, substantial highway, leading to it center of business, The writer makes no pretension toward begin a Solonor a Lycurgus, yet in point of economy alone, our interest will be sub served best by carrying out these humble suggestians.

Th e rain last Wednesday raised the water in the ditches and streams to a creator height than they were at any time during last winter, washing out several culverts and bridges. Thanksgiving passed otl quietly In this neighborhood. A grand dinner was had at W. H. White's. The table seemed to groan under the weight of luscious dainties pre pared by Mrs. White. The evening was passed away by the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. 0. H. Wright, Mrs. I.ydia Wright and son 1'ierce, Grace Jordan, Nellie ilru ner, Pea. Wright, C. E.
