"Captain Grltzmacher and Detective Thit paper liat the largest Circulation on the Columbia river. An honett and complete telegraphic re port givet a newspaper a right and title to the name. The newt of the world, freth eoery morning at your breakfast table, it what you can find in tlie Attorian. It holds the exclutice telegraphio franchise, and itt tervice it improving daily. The funny fellows are having lots of sport among themselves over the new Columbian stamps, and Jokes about Co lumbus' whiskers are quite the vogue. The Joke has even reached Germany, presumably through the medium of New York exchanges, and the wits of the Rhlneland are handling It in their peculiarly ponderous way. The basis of the whole school of Columbian whis ker Jokes, and by the way they are getting pretty well bewhiskered them selvesis the assumption that the ser ies of Columbian postage stamps Is strictly chronological and sequential. That Is, that all the illustrations of the progress of the discoverer were made by the same man, some pioneer special artist on the spot, and that this person committed a grave error in represent ing Columbus in sight of land with a smooth face, and Columbus on land with a full beard, despite the fact that the time Intervening between the events was not sufficient, ordinarily, to raise a beard. It might, of course, be lightly said that the wonderfully stim ulating climate wen responsible for this rapid growth; but that would be trilling. It can confidently be expected however, that some enterprising firm of manufacturers of barbers' supplies will sleze upon the incident to advert Ine their particular brand of hirsute reju venator. That sort of thing is Inevita ble In these modern days, when trades men of a certain class have no regard for anyone's rights when their own in terests are under consideration. Iiut to the ordinary, steady going, nodute citizen, all the alleged Jokes are very wearying. To the man of artistic Instincts and information, they are in oomprehenslvely trifling. Of course when It Is considered that the various denominations of stamps are repro duced from historical paintings of im portance, by different, well-known ar tists, each of whom, In the absence of definite and official data concerning the personality of Columbus, had his own conceptions of the great voyager, Rtded by such portraits of him as were extant, and also that none of them Re garded their Individual work as likely to form part of a homogeneous series, the feeble Jest appearing inconceivably billy. But perhaps It Is cruel to rob the witlings of the brief happiness which the effort affords them and besides it calls attention to the stamps, and Mr. Wnnamaker Is selling and his successor will Bell a larger number bf them as a result of the gratuitous advertising. While Mr. Cleveland's policy Is In doubt Mrs. Cleveland's has been an nounced, and It Is doubtful If her au gust husband can offer anything bet ter. Mrs. Cleveland's policy Is sensi ble, practical and In the line of good taste and good Judgment. She has For the Next Thirty Days, To meet imperative demands, I will offer at such low prices on install ments, with easy payments, that decided not to wear crinoline or en courage the wearing thereof. This la better and more effective than "sum ptuary laws' npralnst it by nil the leg islatures In the land. The llakor City Democrat plaintively asks: "Do we know our own minds?" "One strong pull must be made for the lunatic asylum," "Are the peoule of Baker City alive to their Interests In this matter?" "Baker City can of fer every Inducement for the location of an Insane asylum. Then why shouldn't we secure It?" Certainly If Baker City can show moie lunatics to the square acre than any other part of the state, she ought to get what she wants. The Demo crat has a strong card to play. The prlze-flghters with their wind and deposit cheques, and all the para- phenalia of bluffing ought to be started out for Hawaii and drowned on the way over. The Time to Work on Roads. The proper time to begin work or re pairs Is In the early spring, Just after the frost comes out of the ground, as soon as the roads have thoroughly set tied and dried out. Where the road Is old, with a good solid bed, the first thing to be done Is to cover It all over with a light dressing of gravelly ma terlal, and when possible, finish it off with a top-coating of hard-pan; but avoid putting it on too thickly, lest the going become heavy, as It la slow to dry out. Loam Is worse than useless, because It never packs properly and makes mud. Care must be taken to raise the road up toward the center, and give It a slight elevation at the crown, but only Just enough to shed the water on either side Into the gutters. On a level, straight road the crown should only be slightly convex, for rounding up a narrow road In the mid dle Is objectionable, Insomuch as It has the Immediate effect of forcing wheels of vehicles to run ulways In the same lino and wear away the new material into deep ruta that quickly become water-courses for the wash of the next ruin, and assist the rapid de struction of the road by preventing the water from reachliig the gutters. As fust as the new material can be laid on It should be very carefully raked over to remove all the largo stones and as many of the smaller ones as possible; for where this precaution la neglected until the stuff packs down hard, which happens in a few days, the stones be come so firmly embedded that they are not only difficult to remove, but soon cause the road to wear In humps and bumps, and later In the season, during the dry weather, they work up con linually and become a source of an noyance and danger. These stones should never be left In piles along the roadside, to be driven Into or scattered about by nilschevlous boys or stray cat tle, but carted away Immediately and dumped out of sight. The gutters .should then be carefully cleaned by emovlng from them all deposits of mud, decayed loaves, or branches that have collected during the winter months; never allow this stuff to be heedlessly thrown along the edges of the gutters or on the banks above them, ;or the first ralnB will surely wash all back to the old place, and the work has to be done over again. It la even worse to spread It out over the road,, accord ing to the common but mistaken prac tice of many rond-nmsters, since de cayed matter can never be packed prop erly, and always tends to make mud and dust In dry weather.
