FULTON, March 1. (To the Editor.) Last Spring a musical leader endeavored to raise funds by subscription for tho purpose of giving public concerts on Sun day afternoons. His requests were mod est and legitimate, for in this country of plenty each profession wants to make a living, and even musicians cannot afford to play only for their own fun, but have to make a. living by it for themselves and their families. This endeavor ought to be encouraged, for a country without music and songbirds is not worth while to live in. Nevertheless, the endeavor of tho gentleman proved fruitless, not because the citizens of Portland do not love music, but the most of them do not care to stand around an orchestra for hours having no place to sit except perhaps on the dusty earth or downtrodden grass. There Is ao much boasting now about city Improvements; would It not be praise worthy for those In charge of city Im provements to go ahead with the good example? Last year not much could be expected from the Board of Park Com missioners in the way of new Improve ments, for they had scarcely the means on hand to Join the two ends for the main tenance of that which existed. If I am correctly informed, the honorable board has something like $18,000- and $200,000 at its disposal, which, with help of wise man agement of the funds, some agreeable re sults could be shown to the yearning pub lic in the line of useful improvements. Let us take, for Instance, one of the central park blocks, set aside tho top soil six inches deep for other Improvements which I will mention later, grade this block, sidewalks included, to gain more space, nicely level this block and cover it with a stratum six inches thick of crushed rock, on top of this two inches thick of fine crushed rock called screenings, level and roll, and finally an Inch thick of gran ite sand from Jackson County, and roll well again for the finish. If every three or four years a new stratum of one inch thick of granite sand is put on top, this promenade, always clean and smooth, will last for more than a generation. Erect now In the middle of this block a fine stand for the orchestra, raise it three or four feet, and put around a rustic rock work adorned with ferns and other suit able rock plants: plant new, fine, straight shade trees in exchange for the crooked, unsightly ones, and surround the block between the shade trees with banks made of cedar wood painted In green, which will also last many years, and you have a gathering and orchestra place which will prove a credit to Its makers as well as to the city. Each block on each side of the orcnestra place can be laid out as pleas ure grounds, where the squares of earth set aside from the orchestra place can be utilized. I have furnished already several sketches for such squares to the honor able Board of Park Commissioners, which, if used, would give satisfaction to the most fastidious. Such an improvement would encourage the property-owners- of the city to follow the example and beau tify their own places. Now let the city authorities do their duty in their turn, improve the much dilapidated streets and sidewalks, for with truly deliberate good will ways and means can be found to remedy this obnoxious state of affairs, for if the city authorities mean business they will assuredly be sup ported by the citizens. I would also warmly recommend to the houseowner, especially In the residence part of the city, not to remove, and even to encourage, tho planting of shade trees along the side walks, for the reason that shade trees play a great role in the household of Na ture by contributing to the wholesome ness of the city through tho instrumental ity of their foliage, but should advocate the removal of all kinds of poplars, which are a nuisance, often infected by an aphis mostly secreted in a kind of globule, hang ing on branches or leaves, and by their roots, which not only deteriorate tho side walks by throwing them up, but impover ish the front yards of adjacent property, as their roots extend horizontally nearly at the surface of the soil, in accordance with the spread, from 30 to 40 feet wide. The acer pseudo platanus, or common Oregon maple, also lifts the sidewalks, and by its heavy leafage gives lots of trouble to keep streets and sidewalks clean by the falling of the leaves in the Fall. There is a fine choice of shml trvna . cm'mendable for sidewalks, which not only give no trouble with their roots or leaves, but which, besides their elegant foliage, bear fragrant flowers, or where the flow ers are compensated by lovely colored foli age, remaining on the trees till very lata in the Fall.

The word guerrilla is Spanish, and first camo into common use in this country during the time of the Peninsular War. But Spain throughout her long history! has always been recognized as the coun try most ideally suited for guerrilla tac tics. There is no region in Europe in which it is more difficult to wage suc cessful war. "If the army of Invasion la small, it Is defeated; if it is large, it starves." Even in LIvy's time the truth of this was appreciated by the Romans. Tho remnant of tho Carthaginians who had taken refuge there after the fall of Carthage had defied the Roman power with great persistency, while the Span ish Insurrection of Quintus Sertorlus had seriously shaken the stability of the re public itself. For eight yeara that able General held the forces of Rome at bay. His invariable policy was to avoid a pitched battle when confronted "with superior forces, and to confine himself to harassing his opponent and cutting his lines of communications. Sertorlus' Lieutenants were frequently de feated, but their chief managed to Inflict severe checks even upon Metellus and Cnaeus Pompelus, and then, when the tables appeared to be turned the Lusltan ian Army would silently melt away and gather again in some distant part of tho province. Rome grew impatient and de pressed as the seemingly endles3 contest continued, and as army after army was sent to Spain with apparently no definite result. Yet, as the event proved, the power of Sertorlus rested upon sand. The Lusitanlan troops, which at one mo ment gathered in their thousands and dwindled away just as speedily, could ac complish nothing permanent, and with the assassination of Sertorius the end came quickly. For eight years Spain had threatened to be to Rome what many centuries afterward Cuba actually became to Spain; yet Roman persistency tri umphed In the end. It was In Spain, too, that the two sons of Pompeius the Great, Cnaeus and Sextus, maintained a stub born opposition to the generals whom Julius sent into the field against them, and even after Cnaeus had been slain Sextus returned to the scene of his former exploits and inflicted far more damage than he received until he transferred him self to Sicily and pitted himself against Octavian and Agrippa.
