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.
Such Improvement would give a start
and arouse the fondness for beautifying
the city, and by Improving a little further
each year, accordlngto the means at dis
posal, the purpose in view could finally bo
reached. Action Is wanted, for with talk
alone not much will be accomplished.

THE GUERRILLA IN HISTORY
Spanish Word Which. Became Com
mon After Peninsular War.
Fortnightly Review.
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.
