Annexation of St. Johns.
St. Johns. Or- Oct. 1. To the Edl
tor of The Journal I notice that cer
tain writers 1ft the Portland press. In
speaking of the annexation of St Johns
to Portland, erroneously assert that the
people of St. Johns are opposed to any
such nalon. I feel quite sure that they
are mistaken. I feel that there la
very strong sentiment in SL Johns In
favor of annexation, -and it Is growing
stronger overy day.

Tho difference between good - roads
and bad roads Is the difference between
profit and loss. Good roads have a
money-value far beyond ordinay con
ception.' Bad roads Constitute the great
est drawback to internal development
and material progress. Bad roads mean
abandoned farms, sparsely settled coun
try districts, and congested populated
cities, where the poor are destined to
become poorer. Good roads mean more
cutivated farms and cheaper food prod
ucts ror tne toners, in the towns: bad
roads mean poor transportation,' lack Of
communication, high -prices for the nec
essaries or life, the loss of untold
millions of wealth, and idle workmen
seeking employment: Good roads will
help those who cultivate the soil and
reed the multitude, and what ever aids
the producers of our country will: in
crease our wealth and our greatness
and benefit all tha people.
X3ood roads mean progress and pros
perity, a benefit to the people who live
in the cities, an advantage to the peo
ple Who live In the country, and lt will
help . every section of our vast domain.

The Strength of Hair.
From the Scientific American.
A HUMAN hair of average thickness
can support a load of six and one
quarter ounces and : the average i
number of hairs on the head ia about
JO, 000. A woman's long hair has a to
tal tensile strength of more than five
tons, and this atrensrth can be increased
one third by twisting the hair. The
ancients made practical use of tha
strength of tha human hair. The cords
of the Roman catapults were made of
the hair of slaves, .and It ia recorded
that the free women of Carthage of
fered their luxuriant tresses for 'tha
same purpose when their city was be
sieged by the Romans.
