Mr. Blaize sent to the nearest drug tore and got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took a number of large doses. He says the effect was wonderful and that in a short time he was breathing quite easily. He kept on taking the medicine and the next day was able to come to Des Moines.

There is no subject of local interest which more vitally concerns the people of Oregoi thn that of good roads. It would be diffi cult to estimate the value of improved high wajs to the farmers of the state. It would be so great that their actual cost would be insignificant by comparison. xne present condition of the country roads is amazing when we consider the pro- gress ot civilization in other directions. It is only in the matter of highways that the people of Oregon hive made no advance trom the pioneer period. If improvements iu other respects had depended on better thoroughfares we would be still struggling nelple8s!y amid serai-barbaric environments, as it is, the tune has arrived wheu the roads must be improved. ' Ther is no division of opinion on the main question. bvcryhody agrees that better roads are an nbsolute necessity. Wheu methods of securing them are suggested, there are differences in judgment. ine man who will suggest a method which is practical and is likely to be success, ful can make it succeed by a determined aud earnest advocacy of it. In order to a& complish it it may be necessary for him to canvass the state aud make public addresses on the subject. It may even be necessary for him to carry it into politics. What bet ter platform could a candidate desire than one which demanded better country roads? Enough has been written and spoken on the point that good roads are desirable. What is now needed is for some one to pro pose a feasibln plan for obtaining them The statesmen who aspire to legislative of fices should consider this subject, leaving the tariff issue and the silver ciuestion to ba discussed by the aspirants for federal posi tions.

The last legislature appropriated $0030 for the pur pose of printing a new edition of the "Re sources of Oregon," a phamphlet containing statistical and descriptive data of the state of Oregon. J. T. Gregg, secretary of the state board of agriculture, is compiling the book and as soon as possible after he sends his copy to the secretary of state, the state printer will begin " work opou it. . The edition will be .50, 000 copies, each of 200 pages, just twice as large as the first edition printed. This phamp'. let is invaluable for distribution among the eastern states, and the various boards of trade and immigration boards make good use of it. The board of agriculture appropriated 1000 from its funds for the pieparing of the subject mat ter. The several agricultural societies with in the state are preparing information show ing the resources of the counties embraced in their respective districts. The several boards of trade of the different cities are ex pected to assist in the collection of informa tion. The resolution house joint resolu. tion No. 9 authorising the publication of the phamphlet provides that the secretary of state shall cause them to be distributed at the World's fair and elsewhere in such man ner as he may deem most convenient and practicable for the purpose of inducing immi tion to this state.

There has been considerable discussieu. through the papers of late, over the report ed discovery of hop lice in the hop yards of Bueua Vista. Prof. WasU'ouru, of the agri cultural college, through some of the state; papers, exepressed his doubts as to their be ing the genuine hop louse. Since that time, through the efforts of S. N. Wi.kina, of this city, he has received specimens of thu insects from the hop yards of William Wellit of Buena Vista, and after a careful examina tion, he pronounces them to be the genuine) hop lice. The followiug letter to Mr. Wells will explain itself. Corvallis, Or., April 21, 1892. Mr. William Wells, Buena Vista, Ore gon : Lear bir: 1 promised to write you re garding the lice you sent me. I have today seen Mr. VVilkius and be telly me that your locality, where the hop field are situated, is a very, sheltered one, protect ed from cold winds and frosts. Iu other words, the conditious are such that if a hup louse could hibernate iu a perfect state any where, it could there. Referring to the report of the department of agriculture for 1S3S, I see that Prof. Ri ley iu writing ou thu result of two years" work with this insect, says: "It is quiiu possible that under favorable conditions ia localities protected from the cold and wherv frosts rarely occur, that the hop louse may pass the winter in a perfect state and begin its life's history in the early spring ou th hop vine. This is, of course, an exception to the nor mal way, in which the stem mother it found iu the plum trees. This fact shouht be borne in mind; that the chief infection 1 coming from the plum or some of the prune? later iu the season, and your case is an isolat ed example. Until I had examined them thoroughly was incredulous, because people had. been sending in specimens in the earth, ou yairow and other . plants, with tne statement th-ic they were hop lice. In, every case they were, aa'T expected, inistaken. Your plan for adopting radiool measure now is quite appropriate. While uonHdeuG that you have a hop louse there at this iUh, I have, nevertheless, sent some of the speci mens to Prof. Riley for corroboration of my verdict. Yours truly, F. L. Washbors. Railroad Talk. The anxiety of the peo ple of eastern Oregon for railroad connec tion with the Willamette valley, is increas ing daily. - Every paper in that section lit the state has something to say about thu matter. The lack of transportation facil i ties is keeping back what' would otherwise) be a rapid developement. The Gazette, pull- lished at Vale, Malheur county, says. "The completion of the Oregon Pacific through Vale is an event anxiously awaited . by the people here. A large part of the statu through which the road will ran is withoujs railroad facilities whatever. : This portion has a genial climate and much mineral. . lumber and agricultural wealth 'as .yet un developed."
