CKESCE.VT CITY WAGON BUAD The action of the committee meet ing, held at Woldq,on the 10th, is, in our opinion, the Tirst practical siej) towards the construction of this much needed thoroughfare- A verv great interest was taken in the proceedings, and there was a general concurrence in the wisdom of the course adopted. In fact no other-course 'could be pursued. The practicability of the route is ac knowledged but no company can be in corporated until the line of the road is marked on the ground $nd a map filed with the Board of Supervisors of Del Norte county. When this is done we can talk advisedly to our people, show them the length and its cost; and what assistance they render will be given understandingly. It is not necessary to give any more reasons for opening this route, our people know its neces sity well enough, and when the survey is made they may prepare themselves for a call for means to build the road. It is possible that in addition to pri- rrte subscriptions, Del 'Norte county may build to the South ork of Smith river a distance of eight , miles, which will reduce the cost ofift&road iriater- ially; but wo have nouihorjty for say in, absolutely, that it will, There "is also nltout three miles of new road in Josephine county and jt is certain that the people of that county would vote a tax to build it At all evbnts tho out look is most favorable and if our peo ple choose to, they can soon inaugurate a vnr3' different state of affairs and, if they want to save themselves from bankruptcy, they had better do it. i ' Ethics of Suicide. In a very in teresting article on suicide the "Cali fornian" gives a classified report of 8G suicides in San Francisco in 1879, 7C of whom were males and 10 females. In the table relating to the.predispos ins causes a large percent of pecuniary difficulties is given as follows: Business disappointments 3; destitution ll;gam bling 5: domestic unhappiness 8; after crime b; supposed incurable disease 14; intemperance 20. It will be seen that intemperance is the greatest predispos ing cause and if it be properly connect ed with destitution it adds another po tent argument for temperance. Singu larly, suiiide is on the increase espec ially in large cities, and Prudon taking note of the fact says: "Society through every avenue is drifting to suicide." Dr. Shurtleff of the State Lunatic Asylum at Stockton says: "From my own extensive observation, the pre cepts, of the Christian religion, espec ially as taught in their long established forms, exert a strong influence even in the disordered as well as the ration-J al mind, in deterring from suicide, those who put an absolute and sincere trust in its faith.".

We hope to fee all interested parties which means every resident of Jackson, Josephine and Del Norte counties take the proper interest in this matter, by sub scribing as liberally as possible when the stock books are opened. Remem ber that the success of the road de pends on the amount of the subscrip tions, and if the project proves a fail ure at this time the residents of this and Josephine counties will continue their present complaint of hard times for some time to come.

There is Grover, who is as good timber as any named, but if he is unavailable, there is Lane whose reputation is not wanting throughout the length and breadth of the country.
