about 25,000 acres of land claimed by the
company, and means the evacuation of

lha 3-Mlle Road.
At the' invitation of Judge Blakeley,
representatives of The Chronicle and
the Times-Mountaineer were driven over
the new 3-Mile road yesterday afternoon.
Its excellence as a fine road either for
draft horses or driving teams, as told by
many who have traversed it, was fully
corroborated by the inspection of the
newspaper men. There is nearly two
miles of new road, beginning at 3-Mile
bridge and extending this way, which is
practically level, and after a winter's
rains and snows have hardened it under
it will be as nearly perfect as is pos
sible to make it. The. former road was
rocky and full of ups and downs, and
the hill descending to 3-Mile was very
steep. . As it is now it resembles a
boulevard, the grade at no place being
more than six inches to the rod, and has
long level stretches, free of rock, the de
pressions filled, the elevations cut down,
broad and straight, and will invite many
a turnout the coming summer to traverse
No less will , the wool and wheat
ie
St:
eamsters appreciate this excellent
retch of road, and thonek it is vet nn-
packed they, already drive oyer it in
preference . to the . old route. Several
wagons
loaded with, wool were met
on the new road, as was Mr. Scbenck's
roadster,' which that . gentleman, was
driving. It is extremely probable that
the road from 3-Mile is used more than
any other road in Oregon. .The busi
ness of the whole country east, west and
south converges to it. Mr. Williams,
the supervisor, counted in one day last
summer 700 teams either going or com
ing, which justifies all expenses incurred
on our roads thus far, and points the ex
cellence of the same vigorous policy, for
the future., There is no better way to
quickly populate ja section of country
with a thrifty, industrious people than
to- furnish it with, perfect means of
egress and ingreBS by good public roads
This policy The Chronicle has ever ad
vocated in the past and will continue to
encourage, and advocate for the future.

SHERMAN COUNTr JURIES.
A Defendant Wlm a Cast, bat Ac
knowledges it Is Unjust..
It is rare indeed that a snccessful de
fendant -in a lawsuit voluntarily cornea
to the vanquished plaintiff and tells bim,
he does not agree with the jury which
gave him a verdict, and offers restitution
in the fullest manner, possible, but the
experience of Mr. T. A. Hudson in Sher
man county several weeks ago was .just
such a one.
He had leased a farm to a tenant-fa
Sherman county .for three years, draw
ing, up .a, contract, which was signed,'
that.be was to receive- a certain share of
the crop. The tenant failed to tender:
Mr.,-Hudson - anything for two years j
claiming, and. perhaps truthfully, that
he saw no way to spare to Mr. Hudson
his share of the wheat, although right-j
fully due him. Hudson then asked him
to draw up a note of $75 for the first
year's crop, and allowed the conditions
to stand Regarding the second year. Thee
farmer again failed to pay anything,
either the note- or the second year's
share. : Then- Mr. Hudson began suit
to abrogate th,e lease, for the recovery of
the note and (he share due him for the
second year's crop. The jury, after
listening to the case, allowed Mr. Hud
son judgment of $1 on the note, nothing
for the crop, and even considered the
advisability of forcing , Hudson put of
the use of his land for another year, but
for the instructions of the .judge, who
positively stated they could not take his
land from him.
Mr. Hudson was disgusted, as. well he
might have been, but was much sur
prised- when the defendant, his tenant,
came to him and said no. knew the jury
had done him an injustice, that he
didn't repudiate the just debt even if
the jury did, and if Mr. Hudson would
give him the use of the land another
year, he would pay the -share, agreed
upon for the entire three years v-This
was acceptable to Mr. Hudson, and he
nas inst received from his tenant a
signed contract that he is to be hired for
wages this year, Hndson to sell the
wheat,. take his due forthe three years
and give his tenant what is left.
Mr. Hudson insists that be- will have
a change of venue in anv Sherman
county case after this.
Portland's Time to Help.
Lennman Blum, formerly of Pendle

scribers to the new periodical entitled
the "Pacific Northwest," issued by the

knew where to locate. This is a worthy
object, and should be encouraged.: But
