BOHEMIA RAILROAD.
Eureka, Cal., Jan. 3. The steamer Walla Walla,
bound from San Francisco for Victoria, B. C, was wrecked
Thursday morning at 4:10 by a French foremasted bark.
The Walla Walla had 64 passengers aboard, and 45 are re
ported drowned. The collision occured 20 miles south of
Mendocino Buoy. The French bark struck the Walla
Walla in the bow. At the time of the "collision the second
officer was on the bridge. No definite information can be
learned as to the cause of the accident, as all aboard were
sleeping.
San Fraxcisco, Jan. 3. Captain Hall, of the Walla
Walla, reported to the Pacific Coast Steamship Company
this morning by telephone. He said that the Walla
Walla collided with an unknown French bark at 40 clock
yesterday morning, during hazy weather. The French
vessel had no lights displayed. The Walla Walla sank in
15 minutes. Captain Hall has ordered tugboats from Eure
ka sent out to search for -three missing lifeboats of the
Walla Walla.
San Francisco, Jan. 3. The Pacific Coast Steam
shin Company has issued a statement , showing that , the
Walla Walla carried 64 passengers and a crew of 80 men
The company has 00 definite information as to the number
of persons drowned, but places little credence in the report
telecraDlied from Eureka that the number of lost will
reach 45.
San Francisco, Jan. 3. The Steamer Dispatch, which
has arrived at Trinidad with 60 of the passegers and crew
of the wrecked steamer Walla Walla, left this city on Dsc
ember 31, for Puget Sound points. She is commanded by
Captain Johnson.
Eureka, Cal., Jan. 3 Twenty-seven of the passengers
and crew of the Walla Walla are missing. All the rest
are accounted for.

Editor ri.aiKDaauta: With yonr
permission, 1 desire to convey a tew
thoughts to my brother farmers, tbrocgh
yonr valued publication, locking to the
rev val of tbe very important tobjict of
good roads.
It tbe readers of IL riuroaauB will
look back two montbe ago, when every
available team and wagon in the eonnty
in tba state were broogbt acd kept
into nee, when tbe highways were dotted
from morn ti'l night witb all kind of
conveyances, ranging l rum me ugoi

from tbeir respective trading points, to

present dull, lagging, almost wasted
winter months, be will not need be told

00 r winter seasons offar better climatic
conditions for teaming and oat door la

bot tbe radical change in lbs roeUa. ia
eeponsible for all Ibis enforced litbargic
stains of farmers wbo should, at tbia
season, be marketing tbe products oi
tbeir labor, of months before.
Tbe writer, having bad a test ol good
winter roads, and tbeir great and lasticg
benefit to every pertoo contiguous there
to, cannot well refrain from writing tbia
article, and. more especially, since
be i being cox ptilled to wade, paddle
yea, to almost wallow through lis alug
etsb channels which ws are forced to
call roads.
Bat now, naturally and rightfully
presented to ns tbe qoer.loo, bow much
would a go d, aU-t he-year -around road

taxpayer io particular, and every man
woman aod child in general. Let ns, by
ioductioo, answer tbia query. Tbe
writer ia willing, even anxious, to give
in labor, in money, or both, one-tenth of
tbe value of bis farm for tbe right kind
of permanent road improvement, during
tbe year 1902, provided tbe one-testa

OREGON YOUNGSTERS' LONG JOURNEY.
New York, Jan. 3 Earl EdelhofF, 4 years old, and
Agnes, his sister, who came on Christmas day alone- from
Ashland, Or., have sailed on the North German Lloyd
steamer Darmstadt for Breman. During their stay in this
city they were cared for by the mother and sister of Henry
Dengent, passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Mr. Denget said the aunt of the children had been inform
ed by cable of their sailing and she is expected to meet
them on the arrival of the "ship at Bremerhaven.
TOO MUCH TINSEL ON SOLDIERS.
New York, Jan. 3. The imperial authorities in Cana
da have received orders that iu every branch of Great Bri-
tian's Army, gold lace, swords, belts, conspicuous should
er straps or like badges of rank must be abandoned, says
the Halifax, N. S., correspondent of the Press. It is un
derstood that the cause for the reform has been the lesson
earned in South Africa, where the Boer marksmen are en
abled to pick off the officers with alarming frequency by
reason of their conspicuousness.

would add to the health wealth end
happiness of every individual, even
thoogh remotely connected therewith.
Let ns lake another view ol the sitne-
tion. A gentleman owning some res
dence bfocte, a Utile out, was aitonisL
ed when told that tbe city coancil bad
ordered a so bsUaiiel walk to be built
throughout the whole length ol tbe
street ; bet ia lees than a year tbe prop-
rty sold (or more than enough to meet
bis former price en property, and pay
lor tbe walk. Now, if tbia ia true ol the
city, it is j ist as true ol the country, on
ly ia a magnified sense, si a iarca with
out a highway, ia micH more crippled ie
valuation than e boildiog block without
a walk.
There baa been enough and more than
enough lime aod money expand ed on
oar roads daring the pest 20 years, to
make tbem perfect highways, bot look
at them, lake a boat ride over them,
swim ia tbem, end the a ear, whether or
not -in yonr opinion, thin time and
money has been jedicionalv expended.
A little reflection will teach tbe reflect
or tbat the time is not tar distant when
Oregon will boild, maintain and enjoy
good roads. The only curious part ol
the matter ia tbat we don't build and
t tbe beneot of tbem now. riot one
cent caa possibly be lost, or faoperdised
by io'elligent road improvement; bnt
on tbe other band, inch expenditures
will always prove safe and profitable In
vestments. Older countries like Ger-
many, England, France and Holland,
bave loag er joyed the untold advantages
of nioable highways.
Given, all the year good, permanent
roads, the value of every foot ol land
tauit be enhanced, the cities and villages
must grow and prosper, labor mnt be
provided for laborers, and a general im
petus must be given to every line ol
trade industry. Why are teams that
ought to be working and nuking a profit
(or tbeir owners, now "running on

earn? Becanee we have no roads. Why
are men Idle a whole long winter T Be
