From Lcland to lor 1,1,3 commissioner meet once a month and determine upon the dispoeal of tho force for the month, and also attend to other routine busi ness in connection with road working. The roads are worked by the chain gang, composed of the convicts from the city court and from the recorder's court. The commissioners havo no engineer, I ...... f.,i :..r but the force is managed and tho method of working is determined by the superin tendent. The gang is supplied with a complete outfit of machines for making dirt roads, and in addition to surfacing, does such grading as may bo necessary, ft is estimated that in five years more all the roads in the county will be of easy grade and properly surfaced. It has been found by experience that a mixture of clay and sand makes a re markably nard surlace almost mijiervi- ous to water, while giving a sure foot hold for the horsvs. The method pur sued in working the roads is that where the foundation is sand)', clay is hauled Relief Not Needed.

I timber reserve that has been proposed bv the secretary ot tne interior is so generous in its extent that it might just as well have taken in the whole of Josephine and Curry counties and not taken the trouble to have laid it out by the township. This proposed reserve which was more fully explained in our last issue, takes 23 of the 50 townships in Josephine county. It takes 22 of the 40 townships in Curry county and 5 in Douglas. Thus it will be seen that more than one-half of the two counties are to be set aside and reserved from the public nd for what? It is said that the pur pose of this move is to" preserve the w iter supply. However we have yet to hear of one who believes tnat this is the real reason. The general supposition is that other interests than that of the future water supply is behind the move. There is only a part of the land that is suitable for any industry. Some of it contains good timber and some good glaring lands but ho whole of it is so situated that the proposition of preserv ing the timber for the water supply is ridiculous. The great bulk of the tract drains in t :e Illinois and Rogue river below settlement and below the point where much settlement will ever be made. Yet at the same time it takes a great quantity of land that tho settlers might take up for either homestead or timber. Now if he wants cheap land he must go to the railroad. This re serve would help that poor corporation more than anythingelse to sell its lands. There were good reasons presented lor the reservation in tho Cascades but this latter contemplated act seems to have no merit in it at all. Petitions are being prepared and circulated and an effort will le made to have this gigantic fraud reconsidered. Observer. A. C. MARSTEBS CO.
