A'! ahowa the deep Interest taken in this impprtant question, and tellevlng that it ha nut Un-n exhausted, I have concludi-d to trouble your many reader w ith a few more thoughts on the sulject. We have heard so much of the Impa-tribility of the average Oregon mad in the winter season, Iroiu many of the persons dUcu-Hing this matter, that I have concluded, as far as I inn able, to iiige-t some plan whereby the rmids ntu be Improved without lohkriiiitiii'' the itlready overburdeneil titxpnyeroftheeouuty It cannot leeiectt'd that thecountj c-ourt, having duo reg'U'd to the inter est of the taxpayers, can appropriate the funds iiecemiiry either to properly gravel or plank the roads, other than tho that are the most important And appropriations fur such purjione should in no case be made unless tht roads have Iss-n by the usual road work and volunteer subscriptions, proiierly prepnrel for the reception of the gravel or lumber. This prep aration should consist in grubbing out the ntumpM and nsits, uud proii erly grading and draining the r aid, sty, from two-thinls to threoquarter nf its width, miles on side-hill grade where it should be 'n fist at least. When this is dune the county isiurl out of the general fund of the county fiuld well allnrd to complete the planking, or graveling and bridging. The first few miles of such com pleted road, running from any one ol the priuripal trade centers would be a sufiicient incentive to the comple tion of other important lines. Some adviM'itte the issuing of bond. to the amount of 2oo,0on) the pro csssis of such IsnitU to be e.xpendtsj under the direction of the county court. It is to be hojasl that (lie eo p!e of Washington county, as well a all other counties in the state, will right shy of all attempts to iurlicl ujion themselves such a burden. Extravagant and reckless, if not dis honest, waslef illness are the invaria ble attendants upon all such plans ol replenishing the treasury. Suchstimi would be an unwise expenditure within any one year, or even three or four years; and supplying auchj fund would only lead to extravagant expenditures. I know some say give the right to sell bonds fur 200,000 because a large issue of bonds w ill sell for a U'lter price, and tho funds may Ik; used only in an economical manner, not necessarily all exHnded in one year. Hut this W hardly prob able, as the exiierience of Portland and other places in Oregon will show. The knowledge that the county court will make reasonable appropriation to complete the work of Improving any ro td in the county that will be proiierly prepared for the lumber or grivel by those) immediately Jnter- e-ted, will eurourage liberal appro priation in work to make such pre liminary preparation. The advan tage, to those immediately interested, by the early improvement of roads leading north, south and east to the trade centers of this county would lie a diH'laration to all that those that first help themselves should lie help ed; and would do much to utilize that energy that at present wastes itself in senseless complaining about our mis erable road, that those fault-finders exsrt rther to Improve for their esHsial Is-netlt. Rut all efforts to make s'i inanent improvement in the roads will fail unless there is some improvement In the laws as to their supervision, and a more careful enforcement of the laws that may lie in fon?. The county court should have the ower, either by its several niemls rs or by a superintendent, to investigate the work lieing done on all the road. This would enable them, when settling w ith the super visor, to determine whether the work had lcen proierly done, and the road taxes projsrly expended, whether the stiervisnr had used his po-ition for the purpose, speculat ing on the money placed in his hands in lieu of labor to be inform ed by it has received the next winter's rain. The supervisors should U required in in their annual settlement to show the dates on w hich the road work was done, und beheld to u trict ac countability for a failure to perform the proper amount of work in the time provided by this law. There U another matter that should Is- more carefully looked after by the county court, and that Is the protection of (he road uml bridgi; and if the law is inefficient in this re-pi t t it -Ik.mI.I lie amended. Willful ili-iiuition of bridge and ohtnictioii i f roads -hould bo more mvvcrcly puiiNhcd, tnd obstructions in the many streams in the county, greatly endsngering the bridges that have been built, in many cae, at great e.vjM use to the taxpayer, should be removed at the oost of those creating such obstruc tions or failing in that, at the ex pense of the county. The lat legis lature, under the mistaken notion that the public are gnfitly interested in the growing of shado tree on each side of the public roads, provided, that owners of liuni adjoining such roads might plai-e a fence eit;ht hs-i inside of the lines of all roads to pro tect shade trees planted. The folly of this provision will be apparent When we recollect that inanv of the public roads are but :'M and In fis t In width. This law should be rcicalcd at the earliest date posili!(.. In my opinion n very desirable change In the law would lie lo reserve it foot-walk on each side of all nubile roads which would not be interfered with in an manner by the road sti S'rvisors ami should not leiiento travel by hoVsemen or for wagons or carriages of any kind. This foot-path should Ik- it I urn t nne-teiith of the width of the road, but not more than (1 nor less than I fis t. The benefits arising from reservation to ucixhhor- lio.xl travel would be Mich that these walks would he properly cared for without cxifiisc to the public by owners of contiguous land. In the Willamette valley we are troubled but little by heaving up the roadbeds in frccr.lnir weather, tun! have gotsT fomN ntTrrereiiitftUl' x-i ponse if our present road law, with a few amendments, are properiy en forced. If my surges' Ions on this Miljcci are not satisfactory to the taxpayers of Washington county, I shall be greatly pleased if mheis, better qual ified, shall improve on them. Thus. 1 1 i i i n . W01I. II 0I HH P BIT ltlMII.lt. One section of the populist plat farm demands the enactment of a law forbidding (lie sale of real property on execution unless the proceeds of such Nile shall equal eighty er cent, of the appraised value of such pros-rty in addition to the cost uf collection. The enactment of such a law would Is- a very fooli.-h piece of legislation, and it is by faih ering such ill-advised schemes that the xipu lists often get before the pub. lie in an unenviable light. The pro posed law would evidently l design ed in theesjHvial Interest of the man with a mortgage on his farm; but it would be no Is'iiefit t him whatever. The law, if made, will never forts land to bring eighty s r cent, of it value at sheriffs sale. That result cannot Ik? brought about by legisla tive enactment. When the property is otTored for sale the price it will bring is regulated by the bidder, and in nine cases out of ten, if not ninety-nine out of a hundred, it will be the amount of the mortgage with court e.XS'tls'S added. The owner of mortgaged land is already proti-cted by the right to sell at private sale, and the fact that he fails to do so is the liest evidence that the prooed Mi:. Eihtoiu Has John Greenback got a nomination on our parly ticket that Ids voice bus been silenced s. suddenly? Was it brcaue he thought there Wouldn't be unices enough ti go round that he was doing all that kicking? I never did like the wa he talked about our party, for I couiun t Iielp tfilukiug that In- u.i doing u more harm tlum good Now Mr. Editor, I hois you will -excuse me if I write you Just oint-1 lefeud our party against what mh-iiis to me some very unjust attack. I know that I am not well up in tinanee and siate-inaiisllip as some of our nominee, hut I do feci as if 1 it m Id let In a little ll-lit on soine points where the corrupt old partus, misrepresent us. lVrhap they don't read the puK-r, so iflay Ik honest in not understanding us and our prin ciples. I nay let us have men before principles. We've got more men than principle. Isik at our plat form, and then look at our candi date for ofllee if you don't think so. A good deal has Us-u said iiImuiI some of the uominiHs of our conven tion. To la-gin with there Is our candid. ite for county clerk, T. Syson t'undy. It is objected that he is an Englishman. Well what if he is-.' IsK-sn't mi Englishman want an othi-e Just as much as an American V Aren't the most of our otMce-holders foreigner? and hasn't Mr. T. Sxsoti Mi ml v given his whole attention to oflice-hutiting for lo! this' many years? I am sure that la-fore his foot had Itcen on American will one hour he was considering in what office he would best serve our inter ests. Let us give him an office and stop his weary effort at reform. Do you think he Isn't qualified? A county clerk wants to know how to write, and they do say that Robert G. Smith has a specimen of his writ ing that would Interest anylssly, aud that would prove him to Is- just the candidate for our party. Some ohjivt to our candidate for surveyor, betutise he is a new comer here. 1 would like to know if he doesn't .want and doesn't need an office? And can't we lust give it to the ."uiutocmjs" ,,nnnoi'Jlies" "trusts" and "gold bugs"? What more do we need ? As to our candidate for county su- K'rintendentTj"cTcrson Davis Hay., why, I'll tell you It took nerve lor a northern man to name his boy Jef ferson Davis :t.I years ago, and that son ought to he rewarded for his father's nerve. IJefore leaving the question of can didates I want to say that I ntn afraid our party is in danger of be coming corrupt. The only way to avoid it is lo create more ofliec. Rev. McCain had twootlli-es under the last republican administration, and was bounced from both and by lexico, "vt ith none to molest ot ti ike afraid." There's a kick against us Is-cnust ae are In favor of free trade. They s.iy it will take away work from our American l.iliorer. Rut who want- wmk? I tell you right now Mr. 111. (or, and don't Vou foigot it when any of us Hipuli-t are really .il''uiiiii! for work, we want it for do- other felloW alld Hot for Olir selves. We know our right and mean to h ive them. The other day when .Vm of mil- brethren a-kisl in M imieap ilis f,r just a small paitof what belongs to them in tin-wave! fool and clothing, they actually tski-,1 tin m In aw wood l"f it! Tt their it, ilit lie it ,aid that IIS indig nantly ,i;t in s I Hie ilerading pro Misal. No, sir, We don't Want very much work. We wau't Ins- soup and free passes on the railroad. The i-orporations must serve us, even if we do have to let them off from pay ing their taxes. Work! Never! Thousands of our brethren are al ready in the Held. Why stand we here all the ilav idle? I life so deal r peace so sweet as lo he purchased al the price of bucksaws and grub bing axes? .,,t if we know it. I will just say to close (hat if inert I no objection I think we w ill take out our silver plank and put in u brass one, (lien our party can furnish material for the coin.
