To the Editor of The Courier: Sir: 1 have read statements from time to time in favor of and against ' the work done on our public highway , - j here the past season. I am writing as a citizen and farmer, who does probably as much teaming on the 1 road as any other man In my position and I want to state that there Is a decided difference in the road Irom past seasons and from other roads that have not had their share of work yet. I don't see in any instance where the work could have teen bet tered when the amount of money used and the lateness of the season In which tne wonc was aone is iaKen info consideration, it is irue me grevel is too thin, particularly In some places, but It will answer for the present and will n ke a perma nent foundation to work on and in due time can be re-covered with grav. el. The grading is especially good and the cross dra'ns are good, taking away the water that has usually stood In or run down wagon ruts. I am In favor of letting this road rest and taking up a more deserving strip. I favor good road work and better roads, and if we can't have the best, tave the best we can and only lsh all the highways in the county were as good as this one. J. R. TUCKER, Selma, Oregon. HORN.

He has his fac tory well equipped with all the necessary machinery for doing all classes of ordinary wood work. The very fine weather is forcing vegetation to such an extent that cooler conditions would be satisfac tory to fruit growers. The announcement of Frank S. Fields, clerk of Multnomah county, that he will go before the people in the forthcoming primaries for the nomination to the office of secretary of state places in the field for that office, a man than whom none Is more competent. His training and fidelity to the people fits him pecul iarly to fill this responsible position. A profit of $50,000 for the county in the conduct of his office the past year Is no small recommendation. He will without doubt be nominated and elected. MURPHY.

He was agreeably surprised on reaching there and beholding the vast stretch of cultivated land, as he had thought before that It was nothing but a patch of sunlight In the forest. This Is a fine farm and the two owners correspond to it.
