GOOD ROADS AS A GOSPEL.
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 Resources of Oregon. 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. Salem Statesman.

P. N.
THEY ARE HOP LICE.
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." And . the Ochooo Review
says : "i'arties who . . came np ' fro
