One of the first questions in consider ing road improvement is: . What will good roads cost? How much per mile? 3Let us first inquire, Yankee fashion, what do bad roads cost? This is really the. first question to consider. If bad roads cost more than good ones this would be a good reason for an exchange. When one stops to think about it, it seems strange how few people consider ' the cost of maintaining and using bad roads. They pass over them every 'ew days and seem to think that they are good enough, but rarely stop to figure : how much they have actually paid or have been forcibly taxed for the use of the bad road. In figuring them out we cannot, of course he exact. We can keep, how ' ever, well within bounds and arrive suf ficiently near the truth for all practical purposes. " ' ; : - Carefully prepared tables from nu merous practical tests have shown that if five teams can do. a certain amount of work on a smooth crushed stone road it will take eleven teams if the' road is covered with ruts and' soft mud and twenty teams to do the same work if the road is covered with deep ruts and thick anud. This is entirely in harmony with experience and with common sense. In doing work on a poor you must cer tainly have twice as many teams as yon would require on a good . road. If your teams are worth $3 a day each, then for each extra team you use you are taxed is $1.50 a day for : each team you have on the road. Suppose a hun dred teams came into this city each day "with loads over comparatively poor werk winter or summer .if the roads " were perfect. Here would be an actual " tax of $150 a day upon the people Using iuo roaas. xnis is prooaoiy no exag geration of the actual average condi tions -for the year. Probably no one "will dispute that you cannot haul more ' than two-thirds as large si load nor travel more than two-thirds as fast. If that is conceded then multiply two thirds by two-thirds and you get four ninths, or a little less than half. In other words, if the roads leading into The Dalles were . made perfect, bard gravel or stone roads out to the average limit of daily traffic there would be a daily saving of $150 or about $45,000 a year. There can be no" doubt that these suppositions are conservative, and en tirely in harmony with actual experi ence. If they are, then the 'result as (figured out is correct and it does actu ally -cost the people of the county $45,000 .-a year for the privilege of using poor .roads. But this is only one view of the matter. -. There are other- items of cost in the shape of wear and tear of wa gohs and harness and the ' shorten ing of the horses' lives It costs the farmer to glut the market when roads are fair and costs him agajn to be shut out when roads are impassable and pro duce goes up. A uniform market is far preferable and more profitable for ail. Sad roads wear mil thn mf.iAn aA health by shaking and jolting and long exposure. -- There is hardly a question comes np in the country in which the condition of the roads does not cut some figure. It most effectually regulates all inter-communication which is the great civilizer ot humanity. Again a road may be pretty good, but have a few bad places or difficult portions. . A chain is never any stronger than its weakest link and a load can never be any larger than what the team can pull over the worst part of the road. In other words the load must always be gauged by the chief obstacle. Beyond 8-Mile hill there is a mile or two of road which is infinitely worse than all-the remainder combined. If tbia were rendered even as good as the rest of the road it would double the present carrying capacity of teams. The i city of The Dalles is badly in debt, to be sure; and so is the county. But the city has lost nothing in making; of Second street a good roadway, instead of the long line of .mud and chuck holes it was formerly.

''-:. .' " , Haworth the printer, at home 116 Court St., Feb. 1st. V - V . - THE PROFESSOR SWOONED. Because the Yoanjc Ladles . Lsaebed His Attempt to Speak English. A rather severe lesson in manners and hospitality was given by 'Si. Macchi, commissioner-general of the midwinter fair for Italy, to the twen ty or thirty stenographers who assem bled in an office of the Mills building the other evening to listen to the views of Prof. Buzzoni, a teacher of shorthand in one of . the leading: insti tutions of Italy, says the San Francis co Examiner. . -. The object of the meeting? was to take steps toward an exhibit of the different systems of steriogTaphy in this country at - the fair, the ul timate aim being the perfecting of the system embodying the best ele ments of the leading systems how in vogue. Prof. Buzzoni, who speaks very little Hjnglisb, - began reading . an address, but was from time-to time interrupted by the younger female portion of his audience, who were unable to suppress a desire to laugh outright. Sig. Macchi at last asked the speaker to desist and, calling attention to the professor's lack of proficiency in the English language, spoke of America's boasted hospitality and generosity to strangers, and so shamed his listeners that quiet was restored. : But his treatment had been too much for the teacher of stenography, who had been growing paler "with anger as be proceeded and who at the conclu- siosion of his compatriot's words swooned outright. ; A doctor was hastily summoned and restoratives were administered, but it was over an hour before the patient recovered sulnciently to be conveyed to nis hotel. Much to the regret and mortification of the few who listened attentively to the professor s address, the meeting was adjourned indefinitely. "The outrage that has been commit ted to-night," said Sig. Macchi, "and the lack of manner and breedinsr shown would be hard to find in all of. Italy and I am afraid that this pro posed movement inaugurated bv one of my country's most prominent teach ers nas received a death blow, as-Prof. Uuzzoni is of a high-strunir, nervous disposition and must feel deeply the laughter and disorder that greeted his eitorts. FIRST SIGHT OF RED HAIR. How It . Irotued the Wonder of Colorado ' Indians Years Ao. - . . . "I was in Colorado in 1875," said a resident of Canon City, Col.', to a re porter for the YVashmgrton Post, "be fore the influence of the white man was utterly dominant. The Indians around what is now Meeker had seen but little of the white man and knew comparatively nothing of him or- his ways or habits except from hearsay and tradition. I mean to say that there were many of them to whom the white man was as much a curiosity as an In dian would be to a New York Bowery boy. as you see, nature saw fit to give me a shock of carmine colored hair. When I first went among the Indians they all thought it was painted, just as they universally paint their own bodies and faces and heads. An old chief came up to me one day and looked at my hair .very carefully; 'Ugh,' said he, and then turning to the guide who had our party in charge, he asked him to ask me where 1 got the kind of paint that would color and not be greasy or look dauby. , The guide told him that my hair wasn't painted, but he wouldn't believe him. He came over and once more closely scrutinized my locks, running his hand over them and then looking at his fingers. I didn't know what he was after. I had an idea that he was calculating how nice my red scalp would look hung about his dirty old body, and was in clined . to resent it. . Our guide, how ever, laughingly told me what the old chief had said. Two or three more of the bucks gathered about us, and they and the guide had a powwow. Finally the guide asked me if I would object to putting water on my hair. He said the Indians wouldn't believe it wasn't painted tintil they saw that water wouldn't wash the color out.. Of course, I took some water-and rubbed it on my hair and then showed" my hands to them. It took four or five days of won dering examination to convince them that I hadn't found some particular fine paint and got myself up in a bright suit of hair." TWO ROYAL DIAMOND FLUSHES. Held at the Same Time In One Boom and Secured in the Same Way. .All the. San Francisco men about town who play cards are talking about the two remarkable- hands held a few evenings ago at the Pacific-Union club, and the doctrine of chances is being calculated to ascertain now soon such a coincidence might be expected to happen again. The general belief .ac cording to the Examiner,' is that no such hands were ever- held -simultaneously, before - since poker was first played, and that no one now living will ever see them so held again. For the benefit of the truly good it may be stated that a royal flush is the highest hand in poker. It consists of a se quence of ace, king, queen, knave and ten in any one suit. As may be supr posed, the appearances of this hand are like the visits of angels and not much more frequent than dentition in hens. Considerable poker is played at the Pacific-Union, but a royal flush had not been, seen in months until the oc currence of the other night. There are four tables in a row in- the. poker-room at the club. ,; Four men were sitting at each of the two middle tables.- v. At identically the same time one of the players at each Of the two table held a royal flush in diamonds.! And as if this coincidence were not sufficiently un usual, each of the lucky two got his hand in exactly the same way, getting the ace, king, queen and knave on the deal and the ten spot on the . draw. One only won thirty-five dollars on his hand, . but the winning of the other was so big that he has kept the exact amount to himself, so as not to excite remark. AN INEXORABLE LAW. Habit Is the Strongest Influence of Our laves. ' . .. The warden of one of our state peni tentiaries said to a visitor that almost the first expression of dissatisfaction on the part of a new prisoner was called forth by the routine and mo notony ' of prison life, : says - Youth's Companion. Some men show intense feeling against it for the first few weeks of their confinement; but after two or three years, it seems; iu some cases, a if they could "not do without it.- The warden had known discharged pris oners to return and ask for work in side, just "to get back to the regular ity of prison lu e. - Captains of seagoing vessels and officers of the army observe the same trait of human nature. The discipline, the inflexible routine, which are irk some to the raw recruit and to the sailor in his earlier voyages, obtain so firm a hold on their minds and habits that they prefer not to live outside of them. Jack goes back to his ship and the soldier reenlists until each grows gray, or death takes them. x Some of Bonaparte's marshals, men of low birth, had learned in their youth vulgar-tricks of the' eye, the hand, grimaces and foolish laughter. Even the, emperor, and his brothers and sisters, were not guiltless of such habits. He could not rid them of these signs of childish vulgarity. They could not rid themselves of them. He could make them kings and queens. and they could handle their scepters right royally; but old habits ruled: them still. A century ago John "Vaux, a young man making "the grand tour," wrote I was impatient to plunge into the dissipation of Fans. I had not, how ever, counted on the hold which old habits had on me. They had been cleanly. Every act, word or familiar custom of my pure iunglistx life at home held me now like an iron cord. I could not plunge into the foul depths, I wished to do it, but could not. There are few young men who do not wish to make their lives solid and enduring. , Let them remember that this . inexorable natural law is equally strong in good as in bad habits. Every high, pure aim'in his father or tnother; every honest, modest custom of a. young man's home; the cleanly life of his boyhood; the prayers he learned; the habits of reverence, of kind, unselfish action these are as so many stones in the rampart - which shall defend him in middle age from storm and rum. - Bucklen's Annca Salve.
