GOOD ROADS.
A Few Simple Rules Which Would Help
Our Highways.
Among the elements and forces of
nature there are several enemies of
eood roads, but the greatest of them is
water. It washes away the material
of the road. It soaks into the .road and
softens it so that the wagon wheels cut
into the surface making ruts and holes
It permeates and softens the foundation
so that the surface of the road sinks or
breaks no. In the winter the ' water
that is in the road freezes, expands,
and loosens and disintegrates the road
material.
The most important thine' in the
building of roads is to lessen or prevent
the ravages ot water; yet no feature of
the work is so neglected as this. Many
local road supervisors seem to give' no
consideration to the question of drain
age, and the result is a regular mud
blockade d urine . several weeks i or
months of the year. '.
The following are a few simple rules
the observance of which would go .far
toward bettering the roads of this coun
try! - .
First. The road should be so located
and constructed as to avoid steep
grades down which the water rushes
durinz heavy rains tearing " up and
washing away the road material.. .
Second. The foundation of the road
should be thoroughly drained by open
side ditches which will carry off the
water, and where necessary tile drains
should be laid in the foundation itself
Third. The surface of the road
should be hard and smooth and have
sufficient elope toward the sides to shed
the surface water.
Fourth. Ruts and holes on the sur
face of the finished road should be filled
as fast as made so that no water can lie
on the surface to be worked up into
mud.
These rules are simple and easy to
follow, and any one who gives any seri
ous thought to the matter can see ' the
wisdom of following them. Still they
are almost universally ignored as the
condition of our roads abundantly
proves.
What this country needs is a radical
change, a new era in road building
The people have been moving in ruts
in more senses than one, and if each
local community is left to work out the
road problem alone, they will continue
to move in the same ruts, and every
year millions of dollars will be thrown
into the mud, to say nothing of the
losses resulting from the use of bad
roads. lectures on road improvement
seem to do very little good. Books and
bulletins on road building appear to
have very little effect.
What the local communities need is
practical object lesBons and actual ae
Bistance, and these can come only from
the state governments and the federal
government. It is for this reason that
road reformers everywhere are turning
toward state and national aid as the
only soluton of the road problem.
The bad roads of the United States
are a blight, a curse, a disgrace and all
patriotic, progressive citizens should
make a grand' united effort to wipe
them out and put our nation on a level
with the advanced nations of Europe
in the matter of roads. 1
Pestilence In Siberia.
Paris, June 15. Letters received
from correspondents who have investi
gated the conditions prevailing in Si
beria show that the natives are. Buffer
ing severely as a result of the war. An
epidemic has broken out among the
laborers who live around Lake Baikal,
and it is feared the disease, the exact
natuie of which has not yet been as
certained, will affect the troops who
are passing through on the way to Man
churia. The unfortunates affected by
the disease usually die within forty-
eight hours aftei being first attacked,
and so far all known lemedies have
proven useless.
Visits the Bandit's Camp.
Tangier, June 15. J. W. S. Langer-
man, commissioner ot tne Moroccan
section at the St. Louis exposition, ar
rived here today from the camp of Rai
suli, the bandit. In an interview giv
en to the Associated Press, Mr. Langer-
mansaid: "I met Raisuli and his
band fully armed and suspicious of the
visit. For a few miutes the situation,
was critical, but all passed off well.
Ion Perdicaris is much better and in
good spirits over the prospect of his
speedy release."
dans Drove Back Train.
Tokio, June 15 Rear Admiral Togo
reports that Tuesday a part of the fleet
bombarded the west coast of the Liao
Tung peninsula, near Kaichau, and
drove back a military tram that was
approaching southward. No trains
have been seen since. The enemy was
moving in troops and erecting works
evidently expecting a landing of .the
Japanese at that point and making all
preparations to prevent it. Small gun
boats sent in close by Rear Admiral
Togo bombarded the Russians at
work.
Port Arthur Left to Fate.
St. Petersburg, June 15. Relief is
felt in militry circles at the removal of
dissension in military circles. It is
understood that the sole responsibility
devolved upon General Kuropatkin,
and that no serious attempt will ' be
made to relieve Port Arthur. It is re
ported that the Vladivostok squadron
now consists of three cmisers and fou
ironclads. It is therefore presumed
that the squadron has effected a junc
tion with Port Arthur vessels. '
Russian Prisoners In Japan.'
Tokio, June 15. The Russian pris
oners in the hospitals in Japan number
546, including 19 officers. Of these 38

St. iretersburg, June 15. 1. is re
ported that a naval battle between the
fleets of the Japanese on the one side
and the Russian fleet and shore bat
teries on the other side occurred off
Port Arthur on June 10. The naval
battle was accompanied by the advance
of the Japanese troops to the rear of the
Poit Arthur defense. The Russian
forces within the fortress were in com
mand of. ueneral Stoessel, who. it is
reported, is wounded. It was neces
sary to amputate his leg at the knee.
Niu Chwang, June 15. Information
has been received here through heieto
fore reliable channels that part of the
Japanese force left at Pu Lan Tien to
checkmate the Russians' southward
movement to reileve Port Arthur was
attacked southeast of Shung Mao yes
terday. After slight fighting, the Jap
anese made a false retreat, the Russians
hotly following them, when the Japan'
ese made a flack movement, catching
the Russians in a trap. The Russian
losses are placed at 800 men. They
then fell back on Kaichou and began
to retreat along - the . Baimatgu-Tsai
Chou road.
About 2,000 Russian infantry from
Kaichou passed through Niu Chwang
yesterday, accompanied by a large sup
ply and hospital train. Several earts
contained bandaged men. The troops
appeared to be fagged out, and ' shewed
every indication of a long, forced
march. The officers refused to furnish
any information, but a noncommis
sioned officer told a correspondent of
the Associated Press that all the troops
were retreating from Tsai Chou. Be
fore he could say anything further, he
was reprimanded by a captain. : Strag
glers are closely watched by noncom
missioned officers to prevent them
from talking. The Russians have
abandoned the ground mines eight
mileB south of here.
A native messenger just in from the
Russian camp west of here reports that
there are-many wounded-men there.
REVOLT AT PRISON.
Four Condemned Men In Ohio Penitenti
ary Attempt to Escape.
Columbus, O., June 15. An attempt
was made by four of the nine con'
demned men at the penitentiary to es
cape at 1 o'clock this morning by over
powering the guard. The guard was.
badly beaten, but two guards from the
hall came to his assistance and the pris
oners were forced back into their cells
and locked up.
The prisoners in the plot to escape
were Moses Johnson, of Scioto county;
Philip Nagle, of Wyandotte county;
Lewis Harmon, of Franklin county;
and Ben Wade, of Lucas county.
Guard Richards, of Williams county.
was in charge ot the prisoners. Lie
was unarmed, no weapons being al
lowed in the annex. The prisoners
beat him down with their fists, and
secured the key to the cage in the an
nex, but failed to find tLe key to the
outer door. r
Guard Richards made such an outcry
that two guards in . an adjoining hall
were attracted, and they came to his
rescue. The prisoners were overpow
ered and locked up. Guard Richards
was badly beaten, but his condition is
not considered serious.
It was evidently the purpose of the
prisoners to get out of the door of the
annex which leads into the prison yard
and scale the walls. They had no
weapons, but expected to secure them
from the guaid. It is not believed
that the hve other men in the annex
were a party to the plot to escape.
Whipplng-Poat Regime Revived.
Lexington, Ky., June 15. Police
Judge John J. Riley today revived the
old whipping post regime when he sen
tenced Simon Scearce, a 15-year-old
negro lad to be whipped in the public
square. Scearce had struck a white
boy. The court decreed that the boy's
mother take the bo to the public
square and give him 20 lashes with a
buggy whip. The mother, in the pres
ence of a large crowd, administered the
punishment as directed. This - is the
first time such an incident has been
witnessed since the Civil war. .
Believe Big Ships are Held.
- Chicago, June 15. A special to the
Daily News from Chef oo says: Accord
ing to the captain of one' of the ships
comprising the Japanese blockading
fleet, the cruiser Novik has been out of
the harbor on several occasions hunting
Japanese destroyers. The captain
thought the obstructions at the mouth
of the harbor prevented the exit of the
larger Russian vessels. The Russians
have three submarine boats which have
been put together at Paya.
Dowie Coming Home.
London. June 15. It in unnnnrnwd
that John Alexander Dowie has decided

on Feng Wang Cheng Road.
Haicheng Manchuria, June 14. A
flanking movement " of the Japanese
around . the Russian left from Feng
Wang Cheng; June 9, was repulsed
with a loss of two whole battalions.
A large Japanese force moved out in
the morning along the Feng Wang
Cheng and Haicheng " road. The Rus
sians had a force strongly posted in a
ravine 30 miles southeast of Haicheng.
The Japanese were preceded by two
battalions, who walked into the Rus
sian ambuscade. -
They received a murderous rifle and
artillery fire at close range .and. were
wiped out, only one or two escaping.
.The main Japanese force, which - was
greatly superior to the Russian force,
tried to outflank the Russians who
drew off without losing a man. Tbe
Japanese, closing in, found the ravine
vacant, save for their own dead.
RUSSIAN ARnY SWBLLINO.
Exultation . Over Victory oa the Feng

Liao Yang, June 14. The army here
is increasing rapidly, a fresh squadron
arriving daily.
. There is no fresh news from Port
Arthur, nor has any confirmation of
serious events having occurred there
been received. ' On the contrary, ac
cording to the best information, every
thing is going well.
xne omcers and men here are very
enthusiastic over the driving back of
the Japanese on the road between Feng
Wang Cheng and Haicheng June 9.
Only a comparatively short distance
separates the Japanese and Russian
armies and the soldiers are all anxious
for active operations to begin.
KUROPATKIN RESTS LITTLE.
How Famous Russian Qeneral Directs
His Campaign.
Liao Yang, June 14. The entire Rus
sian plan of campaign is directed from
a railway cartiage here, in which Gen
eral Kuiopatkin works, eats and sleeps
The car is divided into a saloon,
study and a bedroom. The commander
in chief passes the most of his time in
the study at work, surrounded by his
aides. Although small of stature
Kuropatkin is at once distinguishable
among his entourage, however brilliant
may be their uniforms, by his deter
mined gestures and sturdy figure. He
has the reputation of being just and
his word is law. ms omcers reposa
the fullest confidence in him and he is
the idol of the common soldiers, and
the foreign attaches find him most
pleasant. He takes little or no rest ex
cept a half hour's siesta after lunch
when the heat is excessive, and he oc
casionally indulges in the distraction
of reading literary works. DispatcheB
from the scene of operations are
brought to him at any hour of the day
or night. The general eats well, of
simple dishes, but he seldom remains
at the table more than a half hour
He drinks wine, smokes a cigar or two
after breakfast and sets an example of
abstemiousness to his officers. - He
rises at 7 o'clock and retires at mid'
night. "
SQUADRON WILL BE READY.
America Can Send More Ships to Tan
gier If Emergency Arises.
Paris, June 14. Information has
been received from Lisbon concerning
the plans of the American battleship
squadron. Rear Admiral Baiker ex
pects to leave Lisbon June 16 for Gib
raltar, where the squadron will remain
until the Moroecan incident is settled
On the arrival there of the Illinois and
Missouri, the squadron will consist of
six of the most modern battleships, be
sides tbe two squadrons of cruisers and
gunboats now at Tangier. Although
Admiral Barker does not expect that
the necessity will arise of taking the
battleships to Tangier, yet he will re
main at Gibraltar for the purpose of
meeting any possible contingency.
When the American squadron leaves
Gibraltar it will not go to Villefranche,
as at first intended, but will go to Pie
raus and cruise .through the Grecian
archipelago. Later, the squadron will
go to Corfu and Treste.
Of Great Strategical Importance.
Tokio, June 14. The town of Siu-
yen, now occupied py tne Japanese
army, is ot great strategical import
ance, being situated about 40 miles
east by south of Kaiking and 45 miles
southeast of Haicheng. It commands
perfectly the roadstead of both places
Saimatsa is also an important point, as
it controls the roads to Liao Yang and
Mukden. By following this route, the
Mao Tien Lin pass, a strongly fortified
and almost impregnable Russian strong
hold will be avoided on tbe advance of
the Japanese army northward.
Robber are Beaten Off.
Johnstown, Pa., June 14. A desper

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
DECISION ON SWAMP LAND.
Governor
Receives the Text From
the
, . .;. Interior Department.
' Salem Governor Chamberlain has
received the full text of the decision of
the secretary of the interior rejecting
the claim of the state of Oregon to the
swamp lands within the Klamath In
dian reservation. Briefly stated, the
decision quotes tbe swamp land act of
1860, which specifically provides that
the grant to the state shall "include
any lands which the government may
have reserved, sold or disposed of (in
pursuance of any law heretofore enact
ed) prior to the confirmation of title to
be made under the authority of the
said act."
The treaty creating the Klamath res
ervation was not made until 1864, but
the - decision .. holds that the right or
title of occupancy of the Indians ex
isted prior to that time, as recognized
by the act of 1848, establishing the ter
ritorial government of Oregon, wherein
it was provided:
, "That nothing in this act contained
shall be construed to impair the rights
of person or property now pertaining to
the Indians in said territory, so long as
such rights shall remain unextin
guished by treaty between the United
States and such Indians, or to affect the
authoiity of the government of the
United States to make any regulation
respecting such Indians,, their lands,
property or other rights, by treaty, law
or otherwise, which it would have been
competent to the government to make
if this act had never passed."'
The secretary of the interior holds
that this provision recognizes the title
or right of occupancy of the Indians
to all the country occupied by them
and that the treaty of 1864 operated
merely to cede to the United States the
rights the Indains held in lands other
than those set apart as a place of resi
dence the Klamath reservation. In
other words, the treaty of 1864 but re
duced the extent of the possession of
tbe Indians, whose right existed prior
to the swamp land act of 1860 and still
exists. -
MILLION SHEBP EN ROUTB.
doing to the Blue Mountains for the
Summer Range.
Pendleton Tens of thousands of
sheep are en route-to summer range in
the Blue mountains acioss various
parts of Umatilla county. Between
20,000 and 30,000 traveled last . week
up the Walla Walla river road through
Freewater and Milton, numerous bands
went up the Umatilla, and flocks are
moving southward up Birch and simil
ar creeks into Southern Umatilla.
Tne mountaian range of this county,
and portions of Union and Grant coun
ties, are the ultimate destinations.
The annual protest is also beginning
to go from water users in the irrigated
sections, who are afraid that the flow
of their vaiious streams will be lessened
through sheep eating out underbrush
at the headwaters of , these streams.
Whether the increasing deficiency in
flow during the dry seasons is due to
extra demands made by tbe constantly
growing number of irrigators, or to the
disappearance of mountain shrubbery
and consequent lack of anything . to ie-
tain th e snowfall is a disputed ' issue
between sheepmen and water users, an
issue which brings up the old conten
tion about whether sheepheiders burn
out the undergrowth to help grass for
the next season or not.
Meanwhile, the bands whose aggre
gate will fill the Blue mountains of
three counties mentioned with nearly
1,000,000 sheep are pouring in, and
can be encountered on any mountain
highway.
Hay Crop la Short.
Hillsboro The Washington county
hay crop will not be more than a half
yield this season, owing to the extreme
dry weather during the monh of May.
In the lowlands along the Tualatin and
other small streams the timothy is
much better than en the plains, where
in many places there is not a .third of
a yield. The way things look, Wash
ington county, which has always sent
out thousands of tons of timothy each
season for Philippine shipment, will
not be able to enter the markets to any
appreciable extent.
Oood Strawberry Crop.
Salem The strawbeiry harvest is
now in full swing in this vicinity and
one of the largest crops ever seen is
being gathered. The bulk of the crop
is going to the Salem fruit cannery,
where about 150 persons are employed
packing the- fruit. The berries are ex
ceptionally good this season. They are
now coming to the cannery at the rate
of 12,000 pounds per day, and a uni
form price of 3 cents per pound is
paid.
No Word of Land Office Change.
Oregon City Register A. S. Dresser,
of the Oregon City, land office, in reply
to an inquiry concerning the proposed
removal of the local land office -from
Oregon City to Portland, said he had
received nothing of any official nature
from Washington as to the proposed
change. People of Oregon City are sur
prised at the. proposed change in loca
tion of the land office, and will strive
to retain the office here.
Union County Seat Fight.
La Grande The compl ete election re
turns of Union county show a majority
for the removal . of tbe county seat.
The vote on the removal of the county
seat from Union to La Grande was 2,-

The Gw inn-Isaacs company is consider-

large portion of its animals ranee In
summer in the western spur of the Blue
mountains in Grant county. The com
pany is one of the largest sheep con
cerns operating in the Northwest.
Late as it is, some of the Gw inn
Isaacs bands are not yet even sheared.
Eight bands were trailed into summer
range in Grant county from the Snake
river country in Malheur county.
Here the company has over 50,000 acres
leased from the old Dalles military
land company which secured control of
an immense area in Grant , and one or
two other counties for cutting a road
through the interior in the early days,
and the -Gwinn-Isaac people have 80
sections on a long lease. As govern
ment sections alternate with each sec
tion granted to the military road com
pany, the sheepmen have an immense
territory available. In spite of the
normally overciowded condition of the
Grant range, no trouble is experieuced
with settlers by the Gwinn-Isaac peo-
I 1 I j w . u u. v. .a .vaDwa
and partly because there are few or no
settlers in the district they occupy. In
addition to this, their sheep trail is
through sparsely settled and barren
country.
j. ue remaining nve bands of this
company are in the Wood river country
in Idaho.
Asks for Receiver.
Eugene R. McMurphy, one of the
stockholders of the Willamette Valley
Woolen Manufacturing company, has
begun suit foi sequestration of the
Eugene wooien mill property and ap
pointment of a receiver. This action
is the result of too small capital to be
gin with and mistakes in building the
mill, so that by the time the mill was
in condition to become productive and
profitable the capital and resources
were so nearly exhausted that it suffer
ed for operating money. This caused
the mill to be unprodcutive.
Big Insane Asylum Rolls.
Salem The monthly report of tbe
