For several years past tho citizens of Union have been trying to have a new road opened up from this city on a more direct lino to connect with tho Union and Cornu copia road at or near where the High val ley r6ad now comes into said road. A petition was drawn up last week, and circu lated by C. L. Blakeslce, to have tho new road laid out and established on the follow ing line: Beginning at a point 181 feet south and 2G10 feet east of the NW comer of the NEM of NWK of Section 19, Tp. I South, of Ilango -10 East of Willamette Meridian, said point being on the line between the NEK of NEK mid tho NWK of NEK of said Sccticn 10; thenco cast 793 feet, thence south 50 degrees and 31 minutes East 2,22 t.S fcot; thence south 17 degrees, -10 minutes East 2,730.5 feet; thence south 53 degress, 10 minutes East 1050 feet, inter secting tho county road leading from Un ion to Cornucopia. Tho petition is signed by 123 of the resi dents and Householders of this precinct who aro anxious that said road be opened, as it will be a saving in travel to tho Park people, as well as all thoso living east of the intersection of said road, of about one and one-half miles, and will also be a sav ing to the people of High valley of at least one-half mile on u good and straight road to this city. There is some opposition to tho proposed road by ono or two parties through whose laud the road will pass, but, in our opinion in tho course of timo they will see that tho road will be a benefit to them, as it will give them a better outlet and enable them thereby to dispose of their land at better prices. Tho town must have good roads leading thereto in order to draw the neces sary trade to build up and support it, and while it sometimes works a hardship on some individual for tho time being, tho increase in the town's growth and prosper ity, caused thereby, will m the course of time be a benefit to him. The most prosperous towns arc thoso with good and direct roads leading thereto, and the owners of real estate on tho line of such roads can always command a better price for their land than elsewhere. The tirao has come when this road is needed and we are in hopes it will be opened. Council Proceedings. The council met last Tuesday and Wed nedsay evenings, the iirat meetings of im portance for some time. An ordinance was passed authorizing tho conncil to call a special meeting of the tax pavers, to authorize by vote tho council to commence action for the appropriation of priyate propeity for the erecting and main taining of the proposed water works sys tem, and to pay tho compensation thereof out of tho funds of the city. Tho ordinance provides that said election Ihj held at such a time and place as tho countil shall desig nate. A resolution was passed ordering a now sidewalk in front of the property occupied by J. M. Johnson as a barber shop, also a new sidewalk from tho bunk, building south to I street. The office' street commissioner was declared vacant an Corwlii p. Cofllnberry appointed to fill the vacalic'.

The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent Its Use. No poison brings death with nioro maddening agony than ammonia, but that fact does not seem to diseourago tho suicide. Tho man llarrowitz, who deliberately swallowed u fatal doso of tho drue; in Now York recently, is only one of tho many who have gone tho ammonia route to death in spito of tho excruciating pain. Dr. Ulyth has re corded thirty cases of ammonia poison ing in the small London district of which he is health olltcer; Professor Mitchell mentions twenty-two cases, nnd four have occurred during tho short time Dr. Jenkins has been con nected with tho coroner's ollico in New York. Cases of slow poisoning from am monia aro of constant occurrence among men who work in its manufact ure, or even in decomposing substances which give it off in considerabo quan tities. Ammonia, slowly and from day to day taken into tho system, causes tho complexion to lose its freshness, and tho skin of inon who get heavily impregnated with it has a disagreeably blotched and discolored appearance. Taken into the stomach from day to day in oven tho small quantities used to adulterate food, such as baking powder, it not only injures tho com plexion but attacks tho lining of tho stomach, and is tho source of much general ill health. Tho recent rapid increase in the uso of ammonia for various purposes, and the consequent increase in its manu facture, havo mado it ono of the most easily obtained poisons and, although ovcrybody is familiar with it in somo form, thero is a surprising amount of ignorance of its dangerous qualities. Its use as an adulterant in any food preparation is simply a crime, and as a crime should bo punished. Elocutionary Entortalninont.

II. C. Emeiiy. PROTECT The machinery of the law has not been put to work too speedily against the fraudulent use of ammonia and alum in Baking Powders. Both health and the pocket of the people arc demanding protection. The legislatures of New York, Illinois and Minnesota have taken this matter of adulteration up, and especially that of Baking Powders. It will be in the interest of public health when their sale is made a misdemeanor in every State in tho UNION, and the penalties of the law are rigidly enforced. There is no article of human food more wickedly adulterated than that of Baking Powder. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only pure cream of tartar powder having a general sale that is free from ammonia, alum or taint of any kind of impurity. It makes the sweetest and lightest bread, biscuit and cake that are perfectly digestible whether hot or cold. It costs more to manufacture Dr. Price's than any other baking powder. It is superior to every other known and tha standard for forty years. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is rt portcd by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or auy other adulterant.
