V . mr. vwj hi'" Vol. XYLL Astoria, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, September 27, 188 No. 152. 'ri Pftilfl AN IMPORTANT MEASURE. There is perhaps nothing before the Legislature that. more requires legislation at this time than the enactment of a good road law. The present law has been tested to the satisfaction of the people and found to be worse than useless. There is annually expended thou sands of dollars in money and labor, and the results are anj'tliing but satisfactory. Senator Myers has introduced a bill in the Senate which seems to us entitled to favorable consideration. It pro vides for the election of the road supervisors and an annual tax to be levied on all property, no in debtedness to be deducted, of three mills, and this fund to be set aside for a road fund, to be distributed in a similar manner as is now the school fund. A levy of three mills will raise a large sum of money, and if properly used, will soon make good roads through out the State. There is nothing in which the farmer is so much in terested as he is. in bavins: a good road over which to haul his pro- ducts to market, and there is prob ably no country in which good roads are so difficult to make, owing to the long rainy season, as -Oregon. Yet they can be made .good, and once properh made will be easily kept in repair. But the annual patching up which has been done with the labor and monej' so far has made poor pro .gress towards giving us good roads Standard. The great, ferry betwecnEurope and America is getting to be more and more like an ordinary river ferry in the regularity and certain ty with which the steamers cross the ocean, and efforts are now being directed to a still further reduction of the time of the pass age. It is said that two vessels are to be built next year in Eng land for the express purpose of carrying passengers, and designed to make the voyage from Liver pool to New York in six days. There are steamers now that can very nearly do this, but only under favorable conditions. The new ships are to bo fitted to do it with a full degree of certainty. There is another proposition that seems likely to be carried out, for the reduction of the time of water passage, the organization of a com bined line of railroads and bteam ships, the latter serving as ferry boats between extreme points of land, and making the passage in three 'bf four days. Travelers who do not like sea voyages could then travel by rail from Philadel phia or New York to Newfound land, thence by ferry to Ireland -and from there by rail and other ferries to all parts of the United Kingdom and continent. Phila ddpTda "Ledger. A story of a Kentucky orator is told by the Louisville Courier Journal. He had received 100 for defending McLarens, and only 10 from Ragg, who was on trial for the same indictment for larceny. Closing his appeal to the jury, he said: "And may it please you, gentlemen of the jury, when the last trumpet note is sounded, and the quick and the dead arise in the presence of the Awful Judge, on that final day, when the earth and the seas melt away, the angel of the Lord 'will ho seen kneeling before the throne ex claiming, 'McLarens is innocent! McLarens is innocent!' " and sud denly remembering his ten-dollar -client, he added in a subdued voice, "and also Ragg!" The purity and elegant perfuuie -of Parker's Hair Balsam explain the popularity of this reliable restorative. Pacific Coast Names for Vessels. Tl is only of late years that the ames with which we are so famil- liar on the north Pacific coast have been given to vessels. Now and then a vessel could be found, like the old bark Oregon,that bore such a name, but they were far from common, and were a strange ex ception to the rule that seemed to call for the bestowal of names pe culiar to the country cast of the Rocky mountains. Now, as inti mated before, a very different rule exists, and builders seem to de light in giving Pacific coast names S Of? to the fairest craft sent out of their 3'ards. For instance, the State of California, the Oregon, the Colum bia, the Queen of the Pacific, the Umatilla, the Walla "Walla, the San Pedro, the Tacoma, are the names given in the last three years to as main' ships built in eastern vards for the heavv steam traffic of the western slope of the country. The name Tacoma is now borne by a tug boat, a full-rigged sail ship, and an immense steam collier. Alaska is the name of a schooner, a steamship and a vessel of war. California was carried by three vessels simultaneously at San Francisco not long ago. And now we have the deep-water ships As toria, Henry Failing and Henry Yillard, to say nothing of the Cow litz, Klickitat, Makah and other vessels bearing the Indian names of "Vahington Territory. We confess to a feeling pi satisfaction .at the change, and shall be disap pointed if many more new vessels are not similarly named in the fu ture. Seattle lJost-IntclU(jenccr. The activity of volcanic action in the Snake river lava beds near the line of the Oregon Short Line railroad, says the Idaho States man, is driving main' of the grad ers from the work. Tn an area of about 22 square miles, at short distance apart, smoke and flames of peculiar odor, color and shape. issue from the chasms and scams in the lava. The irritating, sul phurous vapors in themselves, cause many to quit work, while the unusual agitation of the boil ing springs and the general com motion all over the fields of lava, has caused a superstitious fear to take hold of many of the railroad hands, and they are leaving the section, terror-stricken. The whole fcrea has the appearance from a distance of being afire. This story of strange practice is told of a Kans:us lawyer: The law requires that a. person must be 21 3cars old before he can preempt land. "When one comes to ask if he can evade this law and have his boys who lack some years of being 21, "prove up" some land, the attorney smiles serenely and says: "Of course; certainly; it is the easiest thing in the world! And when the time comes to make out the papers the attorney marks with a piece of chalk on the floor, "21 years old." He places the af fiant on the floor standing on these words, and has him swear that he is "over 21 years old." It seems that it was President J. J. Ilill, of the Chicago, Minne apolis and Manitoba railroad, of whom Rufus Hatch lately wrete: "A gentleman residing in St. Paul was check clerk on the. dock at 35 per month not main- years ago. lie invested his savings in land, gained the confidence of English capitalists, and to-day he is president of the" Manitoba rail road, and said to be worth G, Q00,000. By the immense sale of St. Jac obs Oil we begin to realize that the world is not slow to recognize what is good for its ailments. Some Facte About India Wheat. Not long ago we referred to the growing importance of British In dia as a wheat-producing countty. It is doubtful, however, if Ameri cans appreciate the gigantic pos sibilities of this new competitor! in furnishing the wheat supply of, the world, or Euiopeans thepos-j siblo magnitude of the stores they j may eventually draw from that source. A correspondent of the Indian Daily News says that at a low es timate the Punjab country already produces 10 to SO millions of maunds of SO pounds each, annu ally, one-fourth of which amount is available for export. The yield can be increased to an enormous extent. On the "Bar,' a tract ly ing between Morlton and I. chore, are two million acres of the rich est of soils, which may be easily made wonderiully productive by irrigation from the great rivers. Then there is the so-called "des ert" between Jacobabad and Sibi, known as the "Put," on which there docs not now appear a tree, and hardly a blade of grass a ter ritory of 2,000 square miles all of which may be made productive by irrigation from the Nari river. "When it has completed its irri gating canals and cuts in the Pun ts s jab district, where 1,40S,0CS acres were reclaimed last year, the gov ernment will undertake the open ing up of these new regions, and America and Russia will find all these millions of deserted acres wavinjrwith luxuriant wheat fields. and ready to pour their precious products into the lap of Europe. It is well for American pro ducers to keep in mind such facts as these, distant as the time may seem when they have a bearing upon American agriculture. As we stated before, however, we shall not look upon it as a ca lamity in any sense, when Ameri can wheat no longer finds an out let across the Atlantic, for a mar ket for more concentrated pro ducts is by far a better market than the one that takes them crude and bulky as they come from the earth. Beef, pork, mutton, cheese, butter, wool, and manufactured goods, are the form of export that most enrich the people of an agri cultural country. J'rairir. Par mer. The Happy Past. A. seedy-looking fellow dropped into the citv editor's room, and failing to borrow a half dollar, he begged to narrate his experi ence. "1 used to be an officer of state, I did. I was sheriff and member of the legislature and constable and clerk of the courts and judge and a candidate time and again,and had a hiarh old frolic, I did." "I don't believe it," said the city editor. "Why don't you?" "Because 1 have a letter here which says you are a thief and a liar, and a scoundrel and a villain, and a traducer and a perjurer, and a defaulter and a plotter, and a low-down brawler and a lover of all that is vile and wicked and dis honest and abhorrent to decent people, and a "Aha, stranger, go on and read that all over again and read it loud. J t sounds like old times. It brings back the days when I run for office. It reads like an editorial in an op position paper, and brings again to my memory that blessed period when I felt likel was somebody and life was worth living. Oh, glorious hours ol 1113' past, will ye ever come back to mcV" and the tears rolled down his cheeks as the city editor pronounced again the magic words and then gave him a epiarter to sober'up'on.-ZoiffsyiVe Courier-Journal.
