OUIt 1'UJiIiIC ROADS How to .lent Improve Thorn at lant KxpoiiNO. An Intrmllng Taper ICnd lli fore Llim Conntj Uratiire llcroiilly bjr C. II. Walker. Tho auhjnct of Kood mailt tit one of ever ahsorhlntf Interest. Like llnnijuo'a lioBt "A will not down." Good roads are largely an Index of a Uglier and" mora complete civilisation, By this I mean where a country la ao thickly aultlwl aa to bring Into cultlva tlon every available acre, by a people educated In all the arta and ailcncee, and using modiirn labor aavlnu. macliln try. Notably had In mind are audi nationa aa KiiuUihI, France and (iorinany. For linmlrtnU of yeara tlmy have boon It it proving their roada until now (buy haw the niottt purfoct in tba world, There am some portion of our own country where there are very good roada, notatily In New York. In that atate they are tminif, to aome extant at brant, tlx Inch wide tire wagone. The front axle aa I unduratand It, la 12 Inches nar rower than the hind axle, ao that in go ing over a road the whuela cover a apace of twenty-four Indira, time with a heavy load the whoela aurve aa a roller to pack the road Instead of cutting It up. In many parta of the United 8tatea they are practicing about the aame primitive method they had flfiyyeara ago. Tbla ia largely the cam in our atato. I well remember how we worked the road loast 45 ytmra ago and pretty much the ante inelhoda obtain now. It I remember right It waa not earlier than IH.'iU-.'IH yeara ago, that we flrrrt began plowing and throwing up the roada In Wellington county, and In the prlng of that year I held the handlea to the 11 ret gcraoer nud in road work. To throw up the roada la about all they can do there, since there la no gravel conveniently near, to lop them on with, as la largely done In thin county. Aa far ai making good roads la con cerned Linn county has the advantage In at leant twowaya, over the other count It a in Weatern or Southern Oregon. We have ready aeeca. to unlimited qtiantliira of grayel, and larger areaa of wjiite land. Over the lattur, a road well thrown up nd drained usually makna a good hard road the year round, and aervea for all the travel that ordinarily partaci over it. How audi a road will aland heavy haul ing in the winter time I am not prepared to aay. It la claimed by aorne that it will not aland heavy teaming. There are no doubt thoae present who can give us aorne valuable Information on this point. Last spring our county court gave out some very good advice aa to working the roada. As perhaps many romernlwr they advised to the elTect that a start be made at the beginning of a road and complete it aa lar aa it waa worked. I venture to aay that not a road district In the county waa able to carry out the auggeetion. Take durtrlct No. 14, the one In which I live, there are 2'."g' mllt'B of road, and Includes four out of theaix main roada leading to Albany, Over theno lour, at leant three-fourths of the public travel passca. Aa long aa we hud the city tax to help ua out we had very good roada. We let Albany slip out of our hands, and on top of it for two winters pakt the uniiMtully heavy teaming of freight for Urhanon cut up and wore out the roads mora than all the other travel. The freighting parties I am told barely mude exhumes, but damaged the road from Albany to Leb anon hundreds if not thounands of dol lars. The road tax for the hint two years has not been suflkient to properly fill up the ruts and IioIch, let alone making any one flnlnhud road. If this teaming should again be practiced it would seem that we could very properly, though not legally require at least the use of wide tire wagona. At the experiment station of Columbia, Mo., teats were made as to six Inch tires and tboee of standard width. On a Mac adam road the power required to inovn a ton on narrow lirea would move a ton and a qnurtor on six Inch tires. On gravel roads the power waa aa 2000 to 2(110 In fayorof broad tires, on dirt roads, dry and hard, the load pulled "one-third lighter," on mud roadB, spongy on the surface and undurnenth; the load on broad tires "drew one half lighter," on the same road when soft on top and firm underneath, the load pulled one third lighter on the narrow tire. When the aame road became soft underneath, and the mud sticky enough to gather on the wbeele, the narrow tire again bad the advantage. Hut when on meadows or soft ground .1000 to 4000 pounds may be hauled on the broad tires with the eame draft required for 2000 pounds on narrow tires, on clay roads badly cut into ruts by narrow tires a number of tests were made. The first run of the broad tires was ac companied by an increase of draft, the second by lose than the narrow tire, and so tho third and fourth, each timo im proving the road and reducing tho draft. The good roads of Linn county in the future will no doubt be largely graveled roads. The best plan to moke them eeems to be, first throw them up some what so as to afford good drainage. Whether thrown up or not, there needs to Ire trench about two feet deep for the main road (red, and then fill tbla up with a little more than a level with cot'b'e atones anil course uravel, well settled down with a heavy Iron roller On top of this round off with aay eluht Inches of fine gravel and pack this firm with Iron roller. It would no doubt be better were there tiling, aay eight inches, placed every twenty feet apart on each aide but not opposite to each oiher, and extending from the aides of the atone rosd bed, and run to the outside ditch with a good tail, thus securing drainage underneath, aa well as on top by running oir at the aldea. There should be some klndofagrad lug machine provided by the county at each gravel bed arranged porhapa after the fashion of a prune grader, or perha similar to a farming mill ; or rock crush ing machines might be provided. Then make it a misdemeanor to haul grave for the topping off of a road larger than a tilieasant'a egg. For all that we know a good road ia a benefit, I venture to say there ia nut a taxpayer In the country but what would get out of road work If po'aiblu, and paying taxes too. In work Ing roads wo eoem to have an Idea that It will benefit some one else more than it will us, and we dread to atart in, and we are glad when the road tax la worked out, we are not apt to work one hour beyond the lime our tax calls for. During these hard times It no doubt has been a real oleitaure to nrany to know that theinselyea and teams counted for three dollars for three hours work, when at anything else, they would not IHirhap get over $2 0 ) at the very high est for ten hours work. Hut while we make in our pockets, the roada suffer for the want of aulllclenl work. I believe most, if not all of us dis like to Ire taxed. We gladly have our property put in at the lowest possible fig' nre, not aeeinlngly to realise that about so ii'uch money line to be raised to carry on the county expensea, and the lower property la asrreaaed, the higher will be the lax rate. For all this diHlike at to taxes, I be lieve a road tax collected with other taxea would give us much better roads Two dollare in cash expended lit an hon est, aysteuutic manner, would give larger returna than three doilara dees where we work It out. A supervisor who ia an honest and ex- Nrlenced man, and we want no other kind, can take that money and hire the work done by contract or otherwise, much cheaper and better than we can do it. We often have to leave some of our own work that la pressing and some times lose by neglecting it mora than we gain by our rad work. If that work ia hauling gravel we are generally expected to haul so many loads a day, hence have to get our load on as soon as possible, and the more large cobble atones put on the sooner we are off. Often the shoveling ia done by men who have no Interest in the road and don't care a anap what they put on. There ia a piece of cobbled road, I won't say graveled, near Albany that must have been made under such conditions. It is not necessary to tell where it is, for all who have traveled over it know its location. It Is aa rough a piece of road as I ever traveled over, not excepting Kastern Oregon, in many portions of which rocks abound. Several years ago the question was agitated, that of putting the convicts in the penitentiary to work upon our pub lic roads, but there were serious objec tion urijed against the plan. The ex pense of guarding them, the undesira bleners of having men In prison garb ex posed to public gaze , enpociully of chil dren. In many parts of the state stone for roads will have to be taken from some quarry. Here convicts could be worked crushing rock, etc. It would help to set tle the tramp problem were this cIhsj of people con. pel led to work on the roads, break rork, etc., being fed In the mean time at public exense. As I under stand It, in Europe such men and pau per and tboee who have committed petty crimes are set to breaking rock for roads. We might profit by this exam ple. It would be far better for the petty ofTtnders, and much more economical for the public to thus deal with them rather ttian to feed them during en forced idleness in Jail. It is said that nearly all Macadiaod roads in Huston county, Georgia, have been made by con victs. The roads are made of three layers of broken stone of different sixes, well spread and packed. There were no Jails for petty offenders, but as fast as con victed they were sent out to the chain gang and put to work. It is evident that we must either wait until we have a denser population before we can have really good roads, or double up our road tax, or else go down into our pockets in the near future and provide the means for the work. According to estimates It will cost on the average $5000 per mile to make a good graveled road. The yalue of a farm Is largely meas ured by its accessibility to market, and the time will come when furma eight or 10 miles from Albany will be worth more than now are those within a couple of miles, partly from increased population, partly from good roads. One of the most celebrated stone roads in the world and probably the most an cient, Is in the Applan way leading southward from Home, Italy. It was commenced by the Roman Censor Applus Claudius In the year 812, B. C. It Is 8,'K) miles In length. It was built of squared atones, or as one authority gives It "of hexagonlal or aix sided hard rock set In an admlrablo substructure " It was from 14 to 18 feet wide. It la still j in exislance In part, showing its dura bility. St. I'aul no doubt traveled this road when going to Home ai a prisoner, nearly 400 years after It was commenced by Applus, Then are no doubt others here besides myaelt that will remember how well through the fifties the roada leading into Portland were very rough, and In winter almost Impassible, and how we had to dodge the mud holes and stumps quite down to Front street of that city. Now aome of these rinds are fine and some of the streets are marvela of smoothness. Sometime we will have even better roads than those, and pardon the digres sion, sometime too there will be seen the beat road of all, one ao grandly spoken of by one of the old prophets in these words.

Traveling Man la Trouble. C. W. ColUm, representing an Oak land, Cal., sbirtmakir.g establishment, was arrested here last Tuesday for ped dling and when arraigned before Re corder Ryan was fined $25 for violation of an ordinance which provides that ped dlers shall pay a license. Cot tain re fused to pay the fine and was committed to jail where he remained over night. On Monday L L. Porter, his attorney, sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Hayes, on the ground that tbe ordinance nnder which tbe defendant was con victed was in conflict with the Interstate commerce law. The matter was taken np yesterday afternoon and Cottam was discharged. About seven years ago this man was arrested here for tbe same of lense and was at that time was dis charged by tbe recorder. A damage suit for false imprisonment may be the out come of this difficulty allhooeh no steps looking to that end have been taken. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre scriptions from reputable physicans, as tbe damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac tured by F. J. Chenev & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken inter nally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists, price 75 cents per bottle.
