Good roads are beginning to receive the earnest practical attention they deserve, and the Newberg Graphic Introduces the follow ing by way ol variety : In the agitation of tlie question of good ronds, the argument in favor of Improved highways has been pretty much the same until a correspondent writ OUR USGEXT SEEDS. The lact was pretty well aired at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night, that Oregon City must have more and better ho tel accommodations. It is virtually becom ing a great convention city, and within the next few weeks the State Grange, the G. A. R. Encampment, and the great Chautau qua assembly will all be with us, and next year it is almost certain that the State En deavor convention w ill be held in this city, with a number of other societies to hear from. Under present conditions it will tax the capacity of our hotels and boarding houses, aided by the private dwellings that will be thrown open to accommodate the immense throng. There is no question but what they can be comfortably entertained ; bat it requires extraordinary arrangements and labor to do all this properly. A large and well equipped hotel would do away with any misgivings on that score, and this Oregon City must have by another year. Necessity begets new enterprises, and when the vast crowds of people gather around our city at these state conventions during tlie coming summer, the people of Oregon City will awake to the stern and pressing need of such accommodations. A building that would have cost f20,00u to construct a few years ago, could now, on account of the lower prices of material and labor, be built for $13,000 or $11,000. One Oregon City property owner oilers te take $7,000 stock in a hotel building to cost $13,(00, and he , claims that a substantial 3-stnry brick hotel building can be constructed for thai sum. While a large and approved hotel build ing with modern improvements is one of our urgent needs, it is also of the utmost importance that the roads leading into Ore gon City should not be lost sight of . The most prosperous farming communities in Western Oregon are naturally tributary to this city. Geographically this is their trade center, and their interests are identical with the comity seat, but they cannot be expected to come here unless they can travel over good passable roads. the world. But in the face of all this there is the demand Irom thecomblned European powers of Russia, Germany and France, that Japan must make further concessions j to China. Japan appears to be between the devil and the deep sea in this matter, and her situation would apear to be worse than it was before she entered upon the war which resulted so gloriously for her, a far as the actual lighting was concerned. Just what the outcome may be no one can pre dict. Hut the Japanese have their lighting clothes on; they are individually as proud and high-spirited as any people on earth, and if pushed too hard the Japanese gov eminent may throw down the gauntlet to the three leading military powers of the last week. He n: "Keen politicians from your town will remember what ex treme care it has required to steer a case of election whisky with safety over those same roads. This is all wrong. I don't mean that it is all wrong that those who sunt the olllces should steer the whisky, but that they should have to do this under such dis advantages. Why sir, with good mads the voters of the vicinity might have distrib uted amongst them just three times the amount of whisky it took to put things through in good shape last election." gist.

Mr. Evens has concluded all arrangements necessary for a complete blast Itirnuce and foundry plant, and one which is in reality a larger and better and more complete plant than that at Oswego. We had a great many people here who were just as certain of the failure or t.'ie enterprise as were some of the people in your vicinity, hut they are now rapidly changing their minds. The furnace machinery will arrive in Og den the latter part ol this week, and work will begin as soon as the ground on which the site is located is sufficiently dry.

Thu following on planting trees along public highways is taken from a communi cation sent to this paier by Albert A. Pope, of the Massachusetts Road Commission: Careful consideration has been given to the plan of planting shade trees along the highways. With this end in view, experts have been consulted concerning the best va rieties for the pnrpose, and the wayside trees have been examined, so as to deter mine the species well adapted to the cli mate and soil of Massachusetts. As the estimated expense of procuring and planting these trees is not less than one half a million dollars, the Commission has rightly made this question secondary to Toad building, but are collecting such data as will enable them to work with profit on the adornment of the roads after the construction is well in hand. The American and English elms have the advantage of fairly rapid growth, with shade high above ground, and the leaves falling from them give but little obstruction to the gutters. Tbey have the disadvantage of being subject to the attacks of insects, so that the cost of protecting them from these pesis would be considerable. Maples grow well and are beautiful, though they often shade the road too much. It Is the custom in parts of Europe to plant the roadsides with trees which yield profitable crops. In France and Germany, for examble, cherry trees abound. In these countries the yield of the wayside trees belongs to the neighbor ing land owners, but in some cases to the community, and their product is well guarded by law. There will be more or less experimenting on the part ol the Commis sion before they decide upon the species to be planted. The law provides for the be ginning of this work in the spring of IH'Si, and from that time it will be carried on slowly, so as to give us the benefit of experience. Bicyclixu is almost becoming a national sport, and it will be gratifying to those who contemplate purchasing bicycles that there is a probability ol a great reduction in price. It is announced that the Studebaker wagon company have begun the manufacture of bicycles, and in a short time will put lQuOol their wheels on the market at the minimum price of $25 per bicycle. If they can be profitably manufactured at this price, ft is evident that manufacturers have been reap ing a bountiful harvest, as the demand for this class of manufactured goods has been rapidly increasing. The so-called state railroad commission ers are making a deserate eflort to hold on to their job. Immediately alter the O. C. & E. railroad accident at Cbitwood, the niaua- in the meantime they ' Kers of t,lat roa'' immediately gave out the luiorinatlon tnat they would make the needed improvements on the line, notwithstanding-the road is in litigation in the courts. The so-called railroad commission, to make a show of authority, several days alter gave orders to nave tlie nee'led repairs made on this road, 'i bis commission hangs on to the public treasury like vellow jackets in a recently emptied sugar barrel. Thkke is not the leat doubt hut that the annual session of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua association at Gladstone Park in July, will be the grandest affair of the kind ever known in Oregon. Never before has there been such an aggregation of talent .at one gathering in Oregon. Many of the lecturers are of national reputation, and they are worth going to Chicago to hear. Jiever before lias there been an opportunity The census figures concerning the insur ance business show that the amount of fire and marine insurance carried by the Amer ican people in 1W0 was $120,0(,7,235,82(J, and that for this protection the policy-holders paid l.t.Vi,4.,i0.512. or iXle on every $100. In the payment of losses, the amount returned to the insured was .Vic on every dollar of premiums paid. The volume of insurance is now much larger, of course, but the rela tive facts are probably about the same. The enterprising citizens of Barlow and vicinity have made a move in the right I direction, and will have a creamery in sue-, cessful operation within a few days. This is a move worthy of emulation, and there is no reason why there should not be several creameries in Clackamas cottntv. This section should not only manufacture butler and cheese for home consumption, but should be prepared to supply the ready markets of other sections. It is now expected that an immense trade will spring up between Portland and China, as the first of the three vessels of the O. R. & Co.'a fleet has sailed from Hong Kong to Portland with a general cargo. Between the three vessels Portland will have a monthly service, and it will add mnch to the commercial importance and trade of Portland and Oregon, in general. building contracted lor. There is nothing to interfere with the matter now except the weather. The platting of the town site is rapidly going forward, and the site will be one of the finest in the Western country. It lies on the side of a hill and has the finest and most picturesque view of the great Halt Lake, tiie valley of the same t.aiue and the Wasatch range of mountains, that there is to lie had in this section of the country. The new town will be but seven miles from Og deu and in some respects similar to Oswego, but Oswego does not nestle In the mountains as do the beautifully located Utah cilles. Neither have you an elevation of 4.V) feet and the most .popular health resorts with hot springs, heavily charged with mineral, such as will insure a healthy existence in this section of the universe. Ed Dupuis has now under construction a brick hotel, which will be 100 feet square anil three stories high. There will he loo rooms, besides the dining, bar and billiard rooms, and the place will he a better and larger house than the Oswego Jlo ise. Ed expects to make some of the "needful" on this investment, There is also a large store ready to start and both will be finished about the same time. The capacity of the furnace purchased is l.V) tons per day, and the company has con tracts and orders sutlicjent to run theni for two years to come. The market is here lor all they can mcke and they will control it. Everything here is in full bloom now. We have had our last rain until June, and the air is redolent with the odors of a thous and diller'Mit flowers, fruits and shrubs. Ttie parks have on their holiday dress, and everything is attired in the earlier summer costumes of their species. Taken altogether the man who sees Utah at the present time would quickly satisfy himself that this is the garden spot of the world. The mountains here are loaded down with minerals of all kinds. They are heavily woodeil in parts, and there is more snow and water round and about them than will irrigate twice the amount of tillable land in this valley. Here in Ogden you have in a two hours' ride both summer and winter, i The mountain peaks are snow covered the year round, and the most pleasant resorts are to be found in their shady recesses or In the numerous canyons which surround the city. Well, enough of this! A man can only know and appreciate a country by spending a few week or months' and enjoy ing himself there.
