The subject of good roads of late years
has been much discussed, and we are
-glad that it received favorable attention
at the hands of the recent legislature.
There is no one thing of greater import
ance than good wagon roads, and any
sum is not too great to be wisely ex
pended. Roads have been constructed
at an expense of $25,000 per mile in
some parts of the world for miles and
miles and the result has been invariably
of benefit. While such a sum expended
in this section is both impracticable and
unnecessary, it is of the highest im
portance to avail ourselves of the amount
appropriated by the legislature to the
best possible use. Those roads over
which the most wheat and farm produce
and the most supplies are hauled, are
the ones to be considered, since the
amount is not munificent enough to
cover all. The road leading to Bufur
and Antelope to the top of Tygh hill are
probably the most important of any to
be considered. At present travel that
requires these roads is obliged to ' come
around by Biggs, a great inconvenience
amounting to a lare loss. In the course
of a year the actual loss resulting from
bad roads will amount to more than the
earn that would be required to make
them good.
Hawaii, the present subject of so
much discussion and interest, affords
one of the most striking examples of the
results of missionary effort. In 1819,
when the first ministers of the gospel
reached its shores they found a people
without an alphabet and without natu
ral affections. Three-fourths of the
children- born died by the hands of their
own parents. Through vice and super
stition a once vigorous race was fast
decaying. Not even in Africa was there
a field so hopeless. Today there is not
a native, possessing ordinary intelli
gence, who cannot read and write. In
its day schools are gathered a larger per
cent, of the native population than the
same schools in our own states can show.
Sixty per cent, of the people can be
found in church on the Lord's day, and
many of the sons and daughters of Ha
waiians have gone forth as missionaries,
This mission, which from its inception
to its close cost less than $1,2-50,000, in a
single year 'buys from American mer
chants and ports over $6,000,000 worth
of merchandise, and exports twice that
much. Surely such a harvest, though
in another field, may well be an inspira
tion to our own missionary labors, and
incite to more generous giving for the
carrying of the blessings of the gospel to
those who "sit in darkness and the
shadow of death."

The question of the suppression of in
decent literature is one which should
interest, and demand the active co-op
eration of every right-minded citizen in
the land. The corporal and mental
-well-being of the generations yet to
come, and those growing up, is imperilled
by the noxious scourge, and the sooner
prompt and effective measures are taken
to utterly eradicate it, the sooner will
the great nation to which we belong
take its place in the front rank of sturdy,
moral, progressive peoples. Chicago,
not often the pioneer in works of thia
character, is at present waging a war of
extermination against the publishers
and venders of immoral works ' and
prints. The crusade in the Lake city is
not led by cranks or enthusiasts, but by
the press and the thoughtful fathers and
mothers of the city, by the mayor and
most of the distinguished scholars of the
western metropolis. Indecent literature
is doing more to sap the character of the
rising generation' and fit it for vile tastes
and vile practices, sensuality, grossness
and corruption, than ell other evil in
fluences combined.
The secretary of state has estimates
ehowing that the appropriations for
the state " institutions are lower, per
capita, for the estimated number of in
mates during the next two years than
the lowest per capita expense ever
reached in Oregon. That this is low
enough is proved by the fact that Ore
gon's per capita expense, hitherto, has
been lower than the average of the other
states of the anion, and lower than that
of any other state of the Pacific slope
.As to insane asylums, Oregon's per
capita expense of subsistence was last
year, out of eighty institutions recently
reported, the lowest, save three, all of
which are located in the southern states.
The expenses there are less than in
. Oregon, as they require a small outlay
for warm clothing' and for fuel, which
items form so large a part of the ex
peases in Oregon. - . ;

EXTRACTS PROM THE DAILY PRESS :
From the Daily Chronicle o Feb. 18th.
Of Interest to Merchants.
The suit of A. S. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
against H. Herbring of this city, which was to
come before the Jury yesterday morning, was
again postponed. This suit against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Col
lins obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount
of 150.80 from the defendant ; but Instead of pay
ing the bill, as agreed, they shortly afterward
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, etc., were in the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
Bheriff. ' A portion of these goods were sold last
December bjr the sheriff of Wasco county, as np
compromise could be obtained by defendant.
And now come the plaintiffs and sue through
their attorney, Judge A. 8. Bennett, the defend
ant, for the sum of 1175.00. We will watch this
suit when it comes before the jury, as we think
it is one of great interest to storekeepers.
From the Daily Timet-Mountaineer of Feb. tuth. -
" Razor-Edged Technicalities.
- The case of A. 8. Collins vs. H. Herbring was
on trial in the Circuit Court today, and the Jury
empanelled were E. W. Trout, Geo. Joles, A. Bet
tingen, Jr., Geo. W. Miller, 8. B. Adams, James
Harper, W. C. Hansell," John Wood., Argument
was had this morning on a motion to non-salt,
made by defendant's counsel, which w. s taken
under advisement until afternoon, when the
Judge overruled the motion. The facts appear
to be that the plaintiff left this city owing Mr.
Herbring, and he attached property for the debt.
After the sale of the attached property the de
fendant attempts to set aside the sale and sues
Mr. Herbring for damages, claiming that the
proceedings were not technically legal. The
razor-edge technicalities of law, we presume,
will always remain, but it works great hard
ships on creditors, in many instances, to be de
barred from collecting their just claims from
the commission of a clerical error or the misin
terpretation of a dubious statutory provision.
From the Daily Chronicle of Feb. SSth.
The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. a Collins
vs. H. Herbring came to a termination yesterday;
afternoon, the. jury rendering a verdict in favor
ui uie puiiuuiiH. sit. ueronng considers his
defeat as a fait accompli, and" is now more than
ever convinced that he has to stick to his old
rule and motto to tell dry goods cheap and for
cash only.
By the above extracts from our daily newspapers our 'friends and
customers -will see that an extraordinary demand will shortly "be
made upon our purse. And as we are unprepared for this unex
pected event, we are Lis - v
