The vexed question of the rights of bicy cle riders on public highways, savs Harper' Weekly, bids fair to become one of the stock problem of civiliiatton. To the local city father and the rural legislator it has opened up a boundless lield of intellectual activity, a field in which we may expect to see the bucolic mind indulging itself in the most surprising and eccentric gyration without let or hindrance. Already there is a very fair crop of bills on the subject, but the sea son in the western legislatures hasevidently been a backward one, and it is feared that the general average may indicate a shortage. In this emergency it is gratifying to reflect that foreign bless are on the tree list, and some recent suggestion on tbe subject from the Taris Figaro mav possibly serve as seed-corn for future experiments. Among other needed reforms tbe Figaro projHises that all pedestrian shall be duly numbered and registered, and that they shall be com pelled to ring a bell or blow a horn when crossing a street or meeting a bicycle on a public road. At nigbt all unmounted citi zens shall wear a lantern depending from the neck by means of a stout cord, and be furnished with the regulation side-lights. Ho citizen shall proceed at a faster rate than one mile in two hours while within tbe citv limits, and this provision will particularly apply to messenger boy and ople who are in the babit of attending local conflagra tions. Any pedestrian who gets knocked down by a bicycle shall be mulcted in a heavy amount for the first offence, and for tbe second he shall be transported for life to a mountainous district. It is hoped that a fitrict rnniidianrft witti these regulations I may do away with tbe annoyance and dan ger now attending the use of the bicycle. There is perhas one view of the question that entitled to serious consideration. The bicycle has an undoubted right to tbe use of public highways, but there is no reason why the riders should not observe tbe rules of the road, especially iu passing ordinary, vehicles from behind. Horses that have become perlectly accustomed to meeting bi cycles may yet be startled by the sudden ap parition of a rider who comes up noiselessly from behind and whizzes past on the wrong side. There ia no excuse for this sort of thing, and riders and drivers may be justi fied in resenting it. Any road is wide enough if it is bounded by courtesy and good-will. With the State Teachers' Association, lasting for three days, which is now in ses sion at Gladstone park, and the county as sociation which meets tbe lat Saturday in this month at Harmony school house, and the annual county institute which begins a ten days session in Oregon City on the first Monday in Angus', tbe teachers of Clacka mas county will have the opportunity to fully employ their vacation in brightening and polishing up for their school work dur ing the coming year. The teachers of Clackamas county are noted for improving their opportunities, and each ol these gatherings will be well attended. Tneir county association is oredited with being the best working organization of teachers in the state. The good effects of this asso ciation is seen in the increased interest manifested by the teachers in their work and the greater efficiency of our schools. The public at large is invited to attend the meetings of the 8late Teachers' Associa tion, now in session at Gladstone park. No admission fee is charged to the grounds, and the special transportation rates hold good as a part of the Chautauqua contract. Many of the lectures and addresses will be of special interest to all classes of people. The music and rcitations will be a treat in themselves. Those unsightly billboards on the streets and side walks should come down. They add nothing to tbe appearance of the street and have no legal right on public property. The fool and his money have parted ; in fact several of them. They met the shell . game and went down before its seductive .delusion. The enigma these fools presented was that they were without exception men advanced in years, not a Bingle young man or beardless boy being of their number. It would have been bad enough had these fool ,heea young and inexperienced who had not yet learned that theeyeeaii bedeeeivctl even : view oliurvli ami had ili'llnlitfiil time do hy so apparently plain a tiling ns a ahell spite the dew which fell most of the day. game; but lor these men of yearn no excuse We had lire eraekera, bombs, Jumplnn, foot can le ollered that will lie aiveptahle. The ' raelng, and preaching by Miss Till lo Alkin-i-peotaole these fools ,resontel was pitiful, j son, H lluent speakerof the Hrii'inl of Now had they been entitled to pily, as they ! burn. Uev, Mr. lleiishaw, of Sherwood, rushed frantically about trying lo llnd w ith i pave us an exweding Hue hvture, wlilih an olllcer their late partner in their little gatue of cham-e. In the slntistics of the acreage planted to prunes in Oregon, as given til the Inst mi oi lier oft lie Itttral Northwest, I'liicknmas coun ty is credited with HVaere. bcingexcccdel by only three other counties in the state. It is only w ithin the lust live years that prune I tries of Clackamas county, and such suc cess has attended the growers that the acre age will be more than doubled in the next live years. The soil of this couutv Is espe cially adapted to growing prunes, producing a strong, healthy tree, with a crop almost a certainty everv year. The nearness lo Port land and the facilities for reaching the mar kets of the Fast, make Clackamas county one of the best counties in Oregon for the profitable growing of prunes. There is more money in prune growing than in wheat raising, and our farmers are begin ning to II mi it out and to profit by this knowledge. Tiik large and enthusiastic audiences that the Chautauqua association had at its late session, w ill enable it another year to secure the best talent of the land. The as sociation will have the money and the pres tige to secure sieakers and instructors front all parts of the country, and the local state talent, instead of so nianv of them sending letters of r.'grets, w ill make it a point to lie present, for they will have found that it Is something of an honor lo appear before the great audiences that gather on the Chautau qua grounds. It is refreshing w ith what vigor the Cour tier demands that the county printing tie let to the lowest bidder now that it does not have "the pull," For the last three years not a line has appeared in this relorm jour nal with democratic proclivities favoring the contract system in the county printing, the reason (being that it bad the tax list at its own price regardless of the rights of tbe taxpayers. At the price the Courier received for doing the county work it would be well for it to hold its peace and wait and see how the taxpayers fare at the hands of a repub lican sheriff and new spaper. Till edition for July la of the Rural Northwest of Portland is devoted almost exclusive to prunes. It treats the subject of prune raising most exhaustively, the many articles it contains going into all the details of the industry, giving the varieties to plant for this climate and for different soils, how lo plant and cultivate, and bow to pick, cure and market to realize the btst results. To any one engaged in, or contemplating going into tbe prune business, this edition alone is well worth the price of a year's sub scription to the paper. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. There has been a time when a piece of farming land situated on a poor road would sWI as well as a similar piece lying on a turnpike, says tbe Oregon Agriculturist. But these tunes have long since passed awav. " What kind of a road have you?" is a Unit the first inquiry made by a pros pective purchaser ol laud. It is no exager- atiou to say that good improved farms, situ ated on a good road so that the tanner can haul a load to tow n any day in tbe year, is ! worth and will sell for one-tl ''A more than an equally good farm situati Vjn the aver age country road. Thousands of dollars are wasted every year in road work by men who are not qualified to superintend tlie con struction of a road. They have no practi cal knowledge of what is required in mak ing a road that will carry a load in the early spring as well as in the early fall. Better rniiHa nipmi An inorpfmml vaIiia tn fitrni Mpe)e , B1,rkrtilIg pwdnce. and less wear and tear bi horses, wagons and harness. It will not take long for the intelligent farmer to realize that money in telligently spent in the building of good roads will return a direct profit by reducing the expense and cost of farming. tetter List.
