Oregon Fig. While Oiegon, and eHpecially the Willamette valley, is favored with a mild climate, yet It Is a surprise to most of our people that semi-tropical fruits can be succeHRfully grown in this state, yet such is the case as demonstrated by a fig tree grown in Mrs. Mary LaPoreiU'f yard on the Routheant corner of Wasli Ington and Eleventh streets. This tree Is over twenty years old, and nearly every year bears one or two crops of fig of very good quality. Owing to un congenial atmospheric conditions, the first crop this year nearly all dropped oir, only throe ripening. The second crop, however, promises well, tho tree being loaded with unripe fruit, which bids fair to mutuie, One of the mostcurinu Htnrm u the ThcdMilluii frontier la to be friind at Knlilmkl, some 00 mile by rail ubovs Trlkliuln.

Tha If the price you pay for drug and medicines Is Huntley's price, you- know it 'a right. If you buy at Huntley's drug Htore you know the quality is right which is much more essential than the iprice. As Opinion of Conkllng, The Rov. II. S. Huwois expresses thia uncomplimentary opinion of the Into JRosooe Coukling in his book of travels, lately published: "At Bigelow Houso in New York I dined with Coukling, the crack lawyer, talker and, I should uy, cburacterixtlo wiudbiig of the peri od. Coukling seemed to me an insufferably vulgar, loud, clever porson utterly conceited and self centered. Coukling talked through you and over you and all around you and quoted poetry whether yon wantod to hear it or not and answered hia own riddles and asked questions which he never meant you to answer, being of the nature of Cicero's rhetorical inquir ies in tho Verrine uud Cataline oruti' is, I ouu recollect nothing that Coukling said ouly the abiding flavor of his ar rogance uud conceit." EspM of Ulhwjr Improvement Should Ilo llorno by All. Roads are used for pleasure as well as for truffle This use of good roads by town people is greater than the sume uso by furniers, for the farm population has less of leisure. Thia is especially true of the women and children. In the . country they are busily employed, while the women and children of the town have tho leisure for driving and riding. On orcouut of their use of good roud for pleasure tow n people should help to pay for theiu. ThmiHunds of people now use bicy cles, ft luety per cent of these wheelmen ore town people. They would profit by good roads. This is so pluin thut they are the foremost advocates of good roads. Profiting by good rouds, they should beurapartof their cost. This they can do only through state aid. Good roads, removing tho isolation and dreurinexs of farm life, would oper ate powerfully to lesxrn tho movement of farm population to the city a move ment that has beeu excesxive until pop ulation is congested ill the cities. This would reduce tho overcrowding of city industries, leading to steadier employ ment and better wnces. and as a laree percent ngo of population would be en gaged in ugriculturul pursuits, while a lessened pcrccntugo would be eugiiged in other pursuits, there would be a greuter compilative production of food products, wool aud cotton. The result would be lower prices, and tho incomo of town people, increased by Bteadier employment and higher wages, would purchase more food and clothing. Sure ly for this double benefit town people miglit well pay something. VYbilo there are some just objections to stute and county uid iu rondbuilding there is no other way in which town people can contribute to the cost of good roads so equitably and efficiently and with so little injustice to themselves and others, and some method of appli cation, beneficial and just to all, can euroly be devised.

According to the statement of the" president of the Missouri Good Roads association, the people of fhat state pent $490,000 during 1896 for road improvement, while it costlhem just 000,000 for roads supervisors.

Ilaa Road to Illame. The Leavenworth Times, in an edi toriul on the good roads movement, says, after speaking of the importance of good roads to the farmer and rural ist: "In the cities would not the people be healthier, happier, more hopeful, would not life be sweeter and more re fined, if there was a more frequent habit of seeking the fields and woods and country villages? Nothing has weaned people from their love of the country so much as bad roads deep mire during and after rain, thick dust the rest of the time." Road Mote. In the whole territory of Alaska there nre cnly 10 iiles of rouds, ucoording to n lKintly published statement. '( d roads uro comparatively cheap r to maintain and to use thau poor ones, tiiiii thu Mionor this idea is comprehend ed on nil sides tho better it will be. P. V.

This con dition can be CURED The Marketing Point OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY The factory towns of tho East are noted for affording the best market to the neigh boring farmers and gardeners in proportion to the population of any of the towns in that section. The reason for this is that the people of these towns have a fixed in come upon which they can always depend, and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy ers, paying cash for all their purchases. As the Creat Manufacturing Center of the Pacific Coast OREGON CITY-. Is Coming to be One of the Best Marketing Towns in the State This is proven every day by the number of farmers, who are to be seen on its streets selling their produce, who, until just the last few years, sought the markets of other towns. The system of macadamized road3 that is being built into all parts of Clack amas county, will enable all the people of this county to share in the profitable mar ket that Oregon City affords. If, as it is sure to do, the demands of Oregon City in crease in the next five years a3 it has in the past five years, this city will rank next to Portland as a market place for THE PRODUCE of the Farmer si. oo -the- si. oo: : Weekly IjnTteij OcEAtf. : The Greatest Republican Paper of the West 2 2 TT i the most stalwart and unswerving Republican Weekly pub- X lished today and can always be relied upon for fair and, honest re-? 2 ports of all political affair i.
