An tffurt will I made in the

And now it i ralem that I
builJing a railroad to thesea. The
valhf town have done a groat
J.-ul of railroad building on paper.
nnd in the mind of their jx-oplo.

mouth of tliQiualaw.
The lesson taught at the Eugene
i.uhlio school today w one of
i. radical charity. No hearts are bo
easily touched by want and puffer
in I a those of children, and these
free offerings will remind them that
thrro are some, even in this fortu
nate country, who deserve aid and
assistance. It is too tiuo that the
tieoplo generally are not made
awaro of cases of destitution and
suffering that often occur in our
midst. The charitable ladies of
the Women Relief Corps will take
charge of the free will offerings,
and some holm's w ill bo madu Iq
py by their gracious presence and
cheerful word of sympathy.
A jn-culiar Secies of grain, a
livad of which was found originally
in a lield of barley, is being grown,
to a considerable extent, by a fur
nier of Skagit county, Washington.
It is known as "nigger barley;"
ami is very prolific, averaging 100
bushel to the acre. The stalk and
bearded head closely rcsomblo six
rowed barley. Tlio grain is of a
deep brown color, resembling
scorched wheat grain, and is simi
lar to wheat in form. The bran or
shell is thin and tough. It is not
adapted for either milling or brew
ing purities, but is an excellent
Hubhtitulo for corn, in which this
wuist is deficient, as feed for hogs
nnd chickens. Agricultural ex-H-rts
are to lie called ujmn to do
terminu its family and genus.
The subject of better road is
now exciting more attention in this
country than at any previous time,
says the Koscburg Review. Al
most every issue of every promi
nent teriodieal contains a well
written article upon highway im
provement. The Atlantic Monthly
for Oc'olcr has snch an article by
(ien. Whaler. It is a strong argu
ment f r good wagon roads from
tlio economic standpoint; but we
havo only space here to call atten
tion to his sensible remark about
the width of wagon tire:
"A large part of the trouble with
American roads arism from the ab
surd narrowness of tlio tiro or iQr
ing part of the wagon wheel.
Some argument may be mado for
the use of a narrow rim to a whirl
where the road could have the
lurdnrt of granite blocks but in
our ordinary American conditions
n narrow wheel carrying the weight
of a ton upon it bearing points
must be regarded as an instrument
of destruction." Thi applies with
espoeial force to our roads in iQt
section, which are so excellent in
dry weather, but so wretched when
saturated with moisture. A wide
tire operates like a roller upon a
highway andf lps to mooth it
down, but a narrow tire cut it up
and scoop out deep rut when the
p round is at all soft. It is encour
aging to nolo that wide tires are
coining more into fashion ev
year upon farm wagons
cheapness of iron and steel is now
such that wide tire can be afford
J upon every specie of heavy ve
l.ieles, and it would be well if their
tiw could enforccl (Jjr law tlx
width of roe tire proportions! to
t!ie weight of the load. Q
Oue of the Crt viible result of
the victorious rvorra campaign is

schools of this city to bring their free
will offering for the more needy poor
of this vicinity. Our reporter found
time to visit the Central building
and although the attendance
loday I very small on account
of the slush and sloppy weather, ample
evidence of enthusiasm among those
present was given by the collection
found In each room. Garment of var-
lou kinds and supplies of eatables of
every sort generally found In a provt
slon store.
Tin- sack of flour will soon number
barn s, and other article lu propor
tion. Prof. Ituld aaid the contribu

be tn usferred to the Central building
wheie they will lie aggregated and a
sortc' and taken lu charge by a com
inltt.- from the Women's Relief Corps
for di-tiibutloii. The ways and means
found by some of the pupils are really
eiitln siastle; one little boy taking a
dim I fellow to the store and purchas
ing I in a new pair of shoes, two others
offer ig to furnish hacks for delivering
the s ippllc when distributed by the
