DELINQUENT SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Oar Mountain Eoad.
Frequent complaint Is made of the
character of tho roads through the Cas
cade mountains on which toll Is charg
ed, but which are not kept in good re
pair, and besides being built over very
rough and mountainous regions are al
lowed to become almost impassable
from neglect. Wo have two separate
complaints lately made to us of the bad
condition of the " Barlow road," tint
crosses to tho waters of the Des Chutes
in Wasco county from Clackamas coun
ty in the Willamette valley. Mr. V.
C. Grlswold and Mr. D. A. McCully of
this gily have each crossed by this
route this fall and describe the road as
in very bad condition, though tliej paid
toll for tho privilego of passing over it
with teams. Mr. McCully says, how
ever, that ho was told that they made
no charge for traveling the road but the
toll was for keeping up the bridges."
A fire had run through the mountains
and heavy trees had fallen and obstruc
ted tho road, around which travelers
were allowed to make their way as best
they could. If it was posib!e to climb
tho fallen logs, that was done, and often
it was necessary to stop and chop a way
through.
Mr. Minto informs us that similar
complaint is made of other mountain
routes, which is the more to be regret
ted because tho travel and business be
tween this valley and Middle and Eas
tern Oregon is increasing, and will con
tinuo to increase each year. Some of
these roads have received large grants
of land, and the stockholders, it seems
to us, should be held accountable to tho
public for the faithful execution of tho
franchise committed to their care.
Some time since we published an ex
tract from tho speech of Hon. Charles
ing the way the State maintains super
vision of tho railroads of tiiat common
wealth. Mr. Adams has for many years
been chairman of a commission main
tained by the Stato to supervise and
regulate matters that may arise be
tween tho people and these corpora
tions. To this commission all com
plaints are made by the persons who
feel aggrieved, and it investigates
such complaints and calls upon the
company to respond to them. When
tho commissioners oecomo thoroughly
satisfied of the real facts, If tho rail
road has been at fault, restitution, or
correction is required, and experienco
proves that aftor fair examination of
the facts the railroad companies have
invariably complied with the reason
able demands of the commissioners,
the alternative being a certainty that
tho matter would bo reported against
them to the legislative assembly.
This simply demonstrates that corpo
rations can bo held amcnablo at the bar
of public opinion, if the proper means
aro brought to bear, and so n great deal
of difficulty, ill feeling and trouble can
bo avoided.
Mr. Minto makes a valuablo sugges
tion in this connection, which is that
such a commission shall bo created by
tho next Legislasure, to act in the
same capacity for Oregon, and have
general supervision of all corporations
and public improvements that control
the facilities for trtucl in our midst.
As our Stato grows and increases in
population and productive industries,
tho necessity for such a Board will in
crease aud tho value of precedents for
its action will be more and more appar
ent. If wo tako such steps soon tho
observation aud experience of such a
commission will result in suggestions
that each Legislature can act upon and
reckless and injudicious legislation can
thus bo avoided. Tho valuo of expe
rience In this connection cannot bo
over-Obtiuiated.
Northern Faciflo Railroad.
Tho reconstruction of tho Northern
Pacillc Itailroad Company has taken
place, anil General Sprague, who has
long been superintendent of the Pad tie
portion of the roatl has been East In
connection with tho business of the
company as reorganized. Since his
return ho has been " interviewed "
and seems to bo confident that tho work
will bo vigorously prosecuted in tho
near future. Wo have before given
tho views of those who havo secured
tho reorganization of tho company,
which, as our rentiers will remember
has been eiloctcil by tho liond holders,
who havo purchased the road and so
havo become the chief stock holders.
As at present constituted tho compa
ny hits no debts and has oOO miles of
llnishcd roatl (and over) and alo has

raenee active operations another year,
for if the money cannot be had in this
country, it certainly can be had in
Europe when such security is to be of
fered, if the company can satisfy capit
al that the business of the road and its
construction, will be carried forward in
a fair and honest manner; for which
our transcontinental railways have not
been famous.
The interest of tho new management
must certainly be to have the roatl
built in the most economical manner
and to have its business managed with
judgment. The day of reckless rail
road speculation is at least going by
if not already gone by and wo hope
to seo the Northern Itailroad connect
with the navigable waters of the Co
lumbia in three years time. We see
no reason why this road cannot be com
pleted before any other of tlioo talked
of to connect us with the central route,
and there are many reasons why Or
egon should be rejoiced to see a direct
route opened to make us entirely inde
pendent of any other.
Water as Food.
Alexander Hyde, writingrfor the ag
ricultural department of tho N. Y.
Times, says:
Next in importance to the air we breathe
mines water lor the susteutation oi nni'im
life, vud yet how few furtnero appreciate
the lull valux either of utr or water lor their
liotnoholds or barnvardil Much has been
said about the value of air, and the commu
nity are pretty generally iLtipreswea itu tue
idea that imr nlr la essential to the health ol
both iniiu aud beast; we wish we could im
press tho idt-a alo that pure ator i the next
esMentlal coaatltuent of health. We htve
this wwk seen the fathor of a Umlly carried
to his ttravn, while the mother and noil are
prostra'e with that terribie scoiiryo, Uphold
lever, nil apparently the result of drinkine
impure water.
Iu ordor to appreciate the value or water
ah tood, we baouly to consider that it con
stitutes three-fourths ol the weight, ou the
averuue. of all animals, and la essential for
sottenlnir nnlid foods o as to facilitate mastl
cation and digestion; for turnlsbiug the di
rect elements ol the bodily structure; for
enabling the waste material to bu carried
through nnd out of the body, and Inatly for
discharging superllouH heat by transplratlou
through the skin. All tbe functions are
essential to health, and none of them can be
performed without the agency of water.
Mr. Hyde proceeds to show the ne
cessity of providing all stock with
abundance of good pure water, which
is fully as essential for the lower order
of the animal creation as, for man. He
instances tho care of a successful and
enterprising farmer who-had taken the
utmost pains to ensure- abundance of
the purest water in his pasture with
the most gaatifying results. Before
that tho milch cows had depended up
on springs where tho surroundings
were muddy and the water often roiled,
but after better water was made easily
accessible to them, tho How of milk
was perceptibly increased. Probably
nine-tenths of the springs that are
made useful for watering stock flow
out of miry ground, and the water
stands in filthy pools that become poi
soned by the various causes that natu
rally tend to that result, and the far
mer or stock-raiser falls to understand
that the small labor that Is required to
clean out the spring and lead the water
of! to a trough where stock can drink it
iu its pure and most wholesome stato,
would be an investment that would pay
him a thousand fold.
Humanity .is well as interest requires
that pure water should bo provided for
domesticated animals. They have be
come dependent ou man's care, and are
no longer allowed to roam at large and to
choose the best pastures and the purest
streams, and if we confine them to re
stricted fields it is a duty on our part to
furnish them with good pure nutritious
food and drink. That water is also
food, our writer shows In the following
paragraph:
Many farmers have an idea that there Is uo
direct food lu water, and that Its ouly use is
to reuder solid food son and soluble, and to
lubricate and cool the whole aulmsl system;
but water Is a dlrsot food. It h com ngsod oi
oxygen aud hydrogen, and all aulniaU con
tain these elements in large quantities. As
animals Increase in sizs oxygen and hydro
gen are required tor the formation of tbelr
growing parts, aud water Is the cheapest and
most abundaut material from which tbey
can be supplied No other liquid can fur
nish these elemeuta lu equal purity aud effi
ciency. We have the authority or that most
excellent chemist, Johnston, for saying that
water Is not merely the drink, but Is really
part of the food of both animal and plant,
and Dr. Kdward Smith, in bis admirable
treatise ou J-xhU, classes water with milk,
cream, tea aa liquid food, aud clatmlug for it
Ibettrst and most Important place. As it
can be had without money and
and without price. Providence hav
ing furnWued li as he has the air, free to all,
It Is certainly a great piece of fbilv not to put
for.h a little exertion, aud let It llow to the
hoiii-o and barn where It csu be convenient
ly ditqienspd for (he health aud cjutlort of
man and beast.
Every day wo become convinced
that unwholoomo wator Is the source
of untold maladies to man and beast,
and tho following piragntph sums up
the importance of tho whole subject,
and wo hopo will bo most carefully
read by all:

Wheat. The report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has tho following
concerhing the wheat crop of 1875:
The wheat crop of the present year
is a short one, ami the deficiency Is
augmented by a marked deterioration
in quality.
The little grown in New England is
as small a quantity as ever, Dur, noi;
much reduced. The Middle States have
about two-thirds of the crop of last
year, though the decline is unequal,
beinar irreatest ill New York antf be
coming less in degree- with lower de
grees oi laiuuue. Virginia is me nisi
State in this direction lo shown reduc
tion In vield: all the other Southern
States havo increased their production,
some of them fifty to seventy-flve ier
cent. None of the States- east of the
Mississippi, except Wisconsin, appear
to have equalled the crop of last year.
Minnesota if credited witlian increased
production, notwithstanding the rav
ages of grasshoppers and the losses
from sprouting in the shock. The oth
er pntirie States, as far as reported,
show a decrease, but the extension of
area, both in reoorted nnd unreported
counties, may make up iu some degree
this uenclency on a nnarcanvassing ror
aggregate estimates. The Pacific crop
is also short.
The average for the entire territory
reported the present month is about
80 per cent, of last year's production.
If this indicates the total depreciation,
it amounts to nearly 02,000,001) bushels,
and gives a crop of 240,000,000 bushels.
iiut the quality is also lower titan last
year, and tite depreciation is heaviest
in what are known in a special sense as
wheat-growing regions. In quality,
the crop avorasres 84, or 14 percent, be
low sound condition. This i equina-
lent to a further reduction of the crop,
though it means poorer bread rather
than less of it.
The loses by sprouting and rottin?
in shock or stack produced in many
places a panic, which stimulated exag
gQsation, and the natural result is the
ultimate conclusion that ' the loss is
not so heavy as was expected." It is
bad enough, however, when shipments
of wheal from Maryland to- Ohio are
necessary to mike a mixture- that will
produce a passable flour. The wheat
of best quality is to bo found in Dela
ware, Maryland, tho South, the Pacific
coast, and in New England, That of
the West averages lower than usual in
every State, and among tne- lowest av
erages are those of Indiana, Weit Vir
ginia, Ohio. Kentucky, and Illinois.
