At Koeeburg, February -'Jd. rnnrm llt JMtatreaa ll,Atr tying to many Individual excites our Isyinpaiby, but uofortnt4te' no general evai nas ever ueen removcu except as tbe result of general distress. Farming in California bai been pursued with such a reckless disregard of small economies as no agricultural community has ever vet been able to sustain. Is it nobody's fault. Very few ot us are strong enough to evercome the conditions of our en vironment and extravagance and reck lessness bave come dovin to us from the days of the argonauts. It baa beeu in th air we breathed. These conditions are rapidly clianginK. Family expenses are being curtailed, improvements on credit are almost a thing of tbe patt, ousts of products are being reduced, use is being found for by-products which for merly went to waste, more of the pro ducts consumed on the farm are being raised by tbe farmer, and generally pru dence and thrift are taking tbe placo of the old ways. Of course there are some who cannot or will not learn, but their doom Is slowly but surely closing upon them, and soon the places which now know thorn shall know them no more forever. Correspondent Takes a Peep Into the Future. Many do not seem to think Koseburg is so well situiitod as a city us the writer loes. The sa ing that "all roads lead to Home" is equally truo of Koseburg. All roads of tbe Umpuua spider web, lead into and ttirougn Koseburg. Going eat some ft miles to the forks, tbe roads lead up north and south Deer creek and to Oak Creek, a distance of some "0 miles to Cascade range. And this whole terri tory all good tillable land mostly river and creek bottoms, now thinly settled. Ou 1 lie went there are two or three roads leading to Looking Olass, Ten Mile, Uamaa Valley and Coos county; and northwesterly into French Settlement, Cleveland and Coles Valley, aa far as Millwood and lower Calapooia. On the north there iB the main highway to the north o( county, vU Oakland, 'Wilbur, Winchester, 1 oncalla, Drain nnd Com- st jck, with diverging roads from Wil bur to Oarden ttottotn ana lower cala pooia and at Oakland to upier Calapooia to Fair Oaks and the liooemla mines and to lower Calapooia via Stephens to Coles Valley, and down the Umpqua via Kelloggi to I, Ik ton, and there It forms a unction with tho Drain road to, tcotts- burg where you must turn buck again as no wagon road goes further. Steamers and boats only run to Uardiner and the mouth ol the umpuua rlvor. At oak land the roads to ugeuo and points north diverge, ono via Yonoalla aud Drain and the other via Klk Head over the mountain, The ono via Drain as far as l'hcasant creek, then over I he mountains, to Loraino down through to Slusluw and I.og Town to Corvallls, and tho other via Coins tot k through Pass creek canyon to Cot.ago urove, where it forms a junction with tho r.lk Head road to Eugene and north. South of Koseburg there ia one main highway to Myrtle Creek, Canyonville and through the canyon to Josephine county, and all points south to California. The About Beet. , There is a beet siiitar factory in tbe little town of Levi, Utah, which paid $37,000 for beets in a single month in 1895, and up to October 14 last the fac tory hoe received 12,000 tons of beets, had worked up 11,000 tone, and bad made 17,000 sacks of refined sugar. Iho local paper says that o'JCO acres were planted in beets last year; that to raise, harvest and deliver them coet f30 an acre; that tbe aveisgo crop last year was 15 tons per acre, which, at $1 a ton, brought f0 an acre, and therefore, $30 clear profit per aero to the farmer. On the whole acreago planted that would mean that $90,000 clear profit was dis tributed among the farmers in the vicin ity of Levi last vear. Those who c'aim to know, says tbe Hillsboro Argus, Btate that beet culture properly attended, will give returns of $S0 per acre. For the sake of conserva tism put it at $50 per aero and then that class of farming would pay far better than anything yet tried in Oregon. It is worth looking into, and at ouce. It would not bo too la to for a crop this sea son, if a factory were here ti take the yield. Outside the dairy business this branch of farming will pay l etter than any othor, if there be unythiug in the atatements of experts. A Blessing in Disguise.

(C"iil.ii Although Laving a population f .'(0J, 000, there is not a grocery store such as we have in Portland and halem in the cry, dui mere it a central market cov ering one entire block and there are tbrre market days each week Tuesday, Thurs day and 8aturday. On those days trie o-called "farmers" of the surrounding country corne in with their me-huree carts and any other kind of "rig" that could be named, loaded with every con: ceivable kind of "truck," and surround tbe market block until the adjacent streets are actually impasnanle from 10 o'clock until 5 in the alternoon. The greatest trouble I bave had here, my dfsire being to tee tbe objects of greatest Interest, has been to decide whether to attend the sessions of con gress or the market-place during thia in flux of Virginia and Maryland farmers. The" lrnrriennfl building i divided into "booths," such as you will ae in the ex position building in Portland, and each cue ia rented to some man or woman who stands there all day and seeks trade from tiie throngs of people ho are con tinually passing tL rough in rjuett of something that may soit their fancy. Hut the greatest sight is ou tbo outside. The aidewalk all around this npisre U about 20 feet wide and roofed ovr-r, and the different vehicles sre backed up against the outer edge of the pavo ncn' as close together as they can get, much the same aa tbe hotel busies in l'or'.iard stand in waiting lor paaseogeis at the union depot fully nine-tenths of tlie.e are owwl by negroes, and, as a rule, the entire family comes iu and bo.' sea lbs job; tot ' oniy ao uncle bam and I'.nali come along, bat all tbe little hams and smaller Dinaha are present in interested ar.d in teresting attendance. And right hero is a good place to remark that whoever thinks tbe rising geneiutio.i of colore! people are mostly uula'oes stands iu vreat need of revising bis injnn-ssion. That the colored damsels do not taks kindly to outside influences h abund antly attested by tbe thousands of l.Uc. brats that throng the streets of Wash ington, the result of legitimate marriages, and who have the sarco facilities for schooling as the wtiite cbildien. S ibese people come in from the country on market days, and like Simple buncn in tne old sonir, disposo ol their ware?. Many of them bring larje bcixcs about eight feet fquaro aud four inches deep, and t utting these on some kind of a tem porary support next to U c buildirg. pilr them full of truck and proceed to lo' k foi bargains with the passers by; and (hey find them, too, for here is where all of Washington does its buying iu this line.

When dinner time comes every family takes an ordinary saucepan, Hits it half full of small sticks brought from home. and starts a fire; mixed in with this me a few sweet potatoes, and on top of it a',1 a can of water for coffee ; this, with the corn bread brought from home, makes their meal.

To Hake WHU Good. Tho only practical and simple icbeme for the prevention of attacks on wide is that proposed by Judge Johu II. White of Hartford and defeated by tho legisla ture of 18115. It provides that every por son on mukiog a will may deposit it with a legal ollicer, who shall give public notice that a will has been so offered, aud that all who wish to attack the ca picity of the testator shall have a certain time in which to oiler evidence and bring the matter to a decision. If no objection to the testator's capacity is made within the time specified, the will cannot be attacked on that ground after hit death. The contents of the will are not disclosed even to its custodian. No one hat any ground to attack it because he is left out or gets lest than he thinks he should have. Evidently people will think twice about attacking the testa mentary capacity of a man who iu thore to defend himself, especially w hen they are uncertain how ho hat dovlsed his property, and may bo biting off their own noses. The two oldest native born boui of Or egon are Cyrus 11. Walker of Albany, aud Captain J. D. II. Oray of Astoria. The former was born on December 7, 1838, and the littler on Mtrch 20, 1830. How to Treat Hobos. The Hillsboro Iudependuut savs; City Marshal Lane is gutting the tramp problem down to a fiiio point. It is las practice when he seua one of those traveling gentleman about town to keep lain iu sight and if the visitor cann t show a habitation either at one cf iki; hotels or some other place after six o'clock in tho evening to put him to bed in a cell at the city jail, after first search ing hiin. There the tramp rests till morning, when Mr. Lane turns him out with the iuvitation to leavs town in n half hour or he will work ou the streets. Tho iuvitation is lvas accepted. By juggiug the fraternity after Op. iu. and turning them out eirly next morning the city is to no expense of feeding them. The marshal also says it is easier to find them iu the night, should he want them, eiuco be knows just where I hey are. Since Mr. I.ane has guarded the city, about two months, he has had about tweoty-tive guests. Our citizens hardly ever tee them, because they man age to arrive alter dark and find it ad visable to go before light neit mornirg. New Use (or Range Horses. . J. li. Kwiulor.of SwiUlet's island, ou the Columbia ' river, near Wallula, is laid to have something like 75,000 bead of horses. It is also currently reported that he has for some timo been killing oil' some of these boasts, nnd has been experimenting with tho carcasses, in the hopo of eventually being able to put same excellent sausages on the market. If his experiments result in success Mr, Switxler will probably bo able to supply tho Pendloton and Portland markets with a superior quality ol summer and winter sausage.
