bad road means a small load with r(jat

bid roads are the complaint generally, i
Why 1 First, they are bud!y drained j
and not enough work done on them ;
second, there ia but little thought dven
to making roads, and the work is often j
done late in the fall ; third, men plou-h

The county roads arc.simply horrid;
the bridge into, town is a nuisance, holes

Helen people should have a leather hut

mcre canyon is a beauty to lead into
a town of such aspirations as St. Helen.
Some ous should make a houd board like
a tombstone aoid rear it for a guidebourd

It seems as if the law of self-preserva
tion would impel the inhabitants to do !
something where there is so much lum
ber, so much sawdust and material to
make first-class reads; when Tom Watts

The Frogmofe canyon and the bridge -into

There is no class of business but
would recieve a new impetus. Our
county lias received a hundred or two
t 'lousand dollars cf taxable property in
the shape of a railroad, and we can af
ford to have good roads. Such roads as
ve have keep out immigrants and re
tard people from purchasing kinds TIiv
rightly think us a set of moss-backs and
as St. Paul calls certain citizens, slow
bellies, and why so 1 lleeaur-e it takes
so long to digest any matter even for
our own interest. AVhere is our Count v

Majou Adams Dear .'Sir: While

b'.ould kill them through inadvertance !
please note the following facts concern j
ing them in the Columbia:.'. The Mon-
golian pheasants are about the .size of
the ordinary Oregon pheasant.;, but have
much longor tail and wing feathers.
Their plumage somewhat resembles that
of the peacock. In flight they sail, rath
er than fly with the swift nation of
wing for which native pheasants are noted.
The only Mongolian pheasants in this j surprise of the millers as of Mr. Sein

Thai Cyclone,

Mr. damr-s Sent mans, a trustworthy
farmer living in the southern edge cf
Tennallytown, was completely mystified
last Monday morning, when being on
the wav to his pasture after Ins cows, lie
discovered a large three-story brick
building on the bill near the old fort,
where he was absolutely certain there,
vas no such building, or indeed any
other building before. Ilubbing his eyes
and going nearer, he. saw tha over the
front door of the building was a sign
bearing the words 'Rochester Flouring
Mills." doing in, he was almost thun
derstruck to find the mill running, the
workman ail engaged as usual, and the
general appearance of things one of reg
ular activity. Upon conversation with
i the men it was found as much to the
transported bodily from Rochester, Min
nesota, bv the recent cyclone. It was
run by water power; and such was the
scarcely been excelled for strangeness by
anvtbin vet recorded in the history of 1

Another barquo stuck on St. Helen

it will be much better sense to unload

and mark our word it will done before

as expensive to fight "burs" on the Co
lumbia as well as " bars " in the woods.

may show grit for a ram to butt a stone
wall, but a rani always gets the worst of
it. A little sense is worth more than a

The reporter of the mist hunting an
item was pointed to a hog who had an
ornamental tin-can adhering to his lower
jaw in a manner that forbade displace
ment. He was pointed to this swine, as
"a hog 'putting on airs." On the recep
tion of this news he waxed exceeding
wroth pei haps because the resemblance
was so strong between the hog and Jim
Muckle or perhaps it was Jake George's
pig tbkt was so greedy it went for canned
fruits. This fssur atnnrd di I opinion.

The last road laid out by viewers
through Stephen Haines' place runs
through his vegetable field and cuts oil
his woods pasture from water. This ap
pears a big grievance. Tin triginai
road laid out avoided all this, there is no
steen grade on it, and Mr. Haines has
laid cut much la'ior on tins at bis own
exnense. Judge Moore is inclined to do
the just thing in this affair, and we trust
the matter will be adjudicated to the sat-
i;-faction of all parties.
.We acknowledge the receipt of tickets
for self and wife to the Mechanics Fan
in Portland commencing Oct. 12; To

We called at the Trutch house the

Literary Notices.
We have received the Art Amateur
for October: One article entitled " Hod

on our surroundings, it is wonderful how
people have neglected them. People
decorate themselves, while their homes
are like dens ; it is not poverty that
causes this but lick of taste, and simply
because they elo not know how. As a
case in hand we will mention Mrs. Ben

look like a palace, she possesses the pow
ers of discrimination and combination.
