Advices from Portland are to
the effect that the trans-conti
nentai railway companies are
making preparations to handle
the annual spring influx of
homesteaders and settlers. The
general trend of advertising
which has been done throughout
the east and middle west this
winter has been to the effect
that what Oregon needs and
wants is the man of family, who
is willing and able to take up a
few acres of land, and thus in
crease the production and wealth
of the state, or the man who has
sufficient means to start into

their home.
It is estimated that of the 30,
000 who came to this state last
year. 20.000 remained, and of
this number more than half are
living in Portland and the smal
ler cities throughout the state,
thus leaving a very small per
centage who are engaged in til
ling the soil.

Then draw a second set of different

the public wagon roads and mark

be built to meet tho needs and the
demands of travel coming: upon them
It follows that all the roads should not
be rocked, graveled or oiled, neither
should all be of earth. Many of the
states have Buch a diversity of road
making material that no one method
or plan of construction la adaptablo la
all parts of a state, and plans must
frequently" be varied ovor ono county.
In one section rock construction Is
best, lh another gravel and In BtUl
others sand-clay or chert A Bpeclal
feature In some counties Is the well
dragged earth rond. while In others
concrete or masonry In culverts or
bridges may be pre-eminent. It Is
necessary for the highway engineer to
study the field and choose tho methods,
plans and matorlals adaptablo to the
locality.
Organized, systematized 'work pre

ed supervision Is tho correct principle

"Regular" might be substituted for
"trained,' because if a road official Is
found to be suited for tho work and U
retained regularly at his work he be

our road work la the lack of oudnte
nance more correctly, the lack ef a
proper system for maintenance. Traf
fic and the elements are continually
tearing the roads down, and we mut
bo continually building them up.
Any kind of road gradually wears

ALCOHOL FROM WASTE.

An invention -which -will be of reat
Interest to the planters of nenequaa
or sisal hemp i particular, as well as
of practical utility to the world at
large, has lately been patented by a
Mr. Ernesto D. Castro, a native of Ta
basco, but reatdent for some years In
Yucatan, for utilizing the residua of
the maguey, after the fiber has been
taken for the manufacture of alcohol.
In the procoaa of extracting the fiber
tho "flesh" of the leaf Is scraped off by
machinery and this, with the excep
tion of a small portion utted la the
manuracture or packing; paper, ban
been heretofore simply thrown on the
rubbish heap. Mr. Castro, after years
of experiment, has found that thla
waste, together with the Juice which
escapes during extraction ot the fiber,
will produce a good, merchantable al
cohol, as hlgl; as 40 per jcent ICartier.
Tho raw material la placed In tanks
with water and allowed .to ferment for
two daya. after which It passes Into
a specially arranged still. For some

some 800 of Yucatan's moat pmtnlneot

to tho Inventor.
The waste of 1.000 leaves gives 400
liters (a liter equals 1.06 quarts) of
Juice, which In turn produces .about
eighty liters of alcohol o 40" per cbl
