The proposal td s!t aside something over 3,000 tulles Id the state, to be Im proved at State expense, td constitute a ho called trunk systeiri, while plausi bly presented, docs not carry weighty argument and should not prevail over tlio needs and demauds of the farmlug districts that would not be reached by tl:ts state system. Some localities would reap advantages from the use of roads thus built, obtain relief from taxation because of their building and profit by the enhancement of property vii lues that Inevitably follows highway Improvement, while In comparison oth er localities that the etate Is under (jnite as much obligation to aid will bo left to strugglo as best they may un der adverse conditions. If there was an unlimited fund at tl:i command of tbe state, each locali ty might In time be reached by a share of the benefits. Hut the bonded debt cannot exceed f.V),000,OU), and It will re julre practically all that remains of that sum to complete the state roads ns projected .y tbe legislative commit ter. While provision la ma1 In the bills Introduced by the Joint committee fur both state and county roads, yet It may be easily foreseen that the state M.uls aro to havo first attention, and wheri that is accomplished the fund will be absorbed, and the state cannot therefore assist in the improvement of tbe county roads'. The question of through roads its axaluHt the radiating business roads 1m of far ufore Importance than many ap preciate. Every towu hamlet or ship ping station is entitled to consideration in the fllstiibutltiu of favors that the state fim to grant, and there should bo n. privileged localities. The state hhouid not build highways for one town or district and withhold the same advantage from another. The roads that are of sutrtclcnt Importance to Jus tify expensive construction and main tenance should be a Joint charge upon tho state, county and town and be so apportioned that they will provide un eiulfable division or benefits As be tween localities. With such a policy the fund of the state can be rnndo to cover a much , greater mileage, and there will be uo discrimination. . M J. YOUNO. THE CR.ANfiE Condvctfd by J. W. DAtSOW. Ci.4ihm. H.

The only thing for the legislature to do now is ratify (he votoof the people and send Mr. Chamberlain to the.SVnate. The adoption or rejection of Statement No. 1 was optimal with tho.se legislative candidate? who took it, and it will not be kca'lthy for any of them to go bacfc on their pledge. The Oregonian is now using its influence to persuade Statement No. 1 members of the legislature to ignore their pledges. Mr. Scott is wasting his time. The Mai ion delegation will stand pat, and a majority of other counties will do the same. GUIDEPOSTS (N FRANCE. The Nacaaaity For Secondary Agricul tural Schools Daacribad. Special Correspondence Of late there has been a marked In crease In the number of agricultural colleges, and they are all Improving rapidly In their equipment and facili ties and aro oil engaging more In vari ous forms of university extension work, such as farmerj institutes, cor respondence courses, reading courses and experimental researches. They are thus attructlng a large and ever larger class of students. Hut all thin development of agricultural col leges and their work has only brought out the fact that under the best condi tions and working to the fullest extent of their possibilities they can meet the educational requirements of onlv a small fraction of the youth upon our farms. If any considerable body of the farm loys and girls aro to receive definite instruction In the principles of agri culture (not td mention the class of city bred boys who are Interested ami want definite Instruction as td farm life), th,er must be supplied a system of schools uf A lower grade than tl college or what is known as secondary schools of agriculture. There Is strong demand for and a disposition manifest td place the teachings of ag rlcuiture in the curriculum of our pub lie and graded schools, but neither their present condition nor the possi billtles of their future development promise any very definite hope of great value In this direction. Without doubt their courses of instruction could be much Improved so as to cultivate a love for and an interest In nature study and. Impart many facts that would be of lasting benefit to the young people Mho shall go out from these schools to live upon the farms, but these schools will never be able to teach the sciences relating td agrleuM ture Itself without Interfering with tha general scopo of their work. What al wsys has must always continue to constitute the principal work of the schools. To these general linos of work may well be added a limited amount of nature study, of wood work ing, domestic science and the elements of agriculture, but not enough lnstruc- tlon regarding any art can bo given to perfect the student in any of these, and especially Is this trua of agricul ture and the sclcnco of farm economy.

In the matter of grange libraries Connecticut leads New England, if not tho entire country. A few years ago a committee was jippohited with Fro fessor C. H.

A Careful system was outlined and the several libraries given twenty suitable books, so that each group would lnclndo works' of fiction, nature, travel, history and agriculture. There has been a steady demand for them, and, many more calls have been re- coked than could be supplied. This Iflng the fact, twenty more libraries will be added within Uw near future, nrraugemeuta for which were made at the last annual meeting of the state grnngo nt Hartford. This -will make thirty traveling libraries, wiih twenty books each, circulating among the granges In the Nutmeg State. Tbo plan Is very commendable nnd is wor thy of still grenter multiplication.
