Washington is uoi uuiu on a sire iiini wouiu ne seiecieu lor a not wen hut resort. Yet congressmen have endured its humid and heated atmosphere before, and probably the members of the sixty-second congress are the equals ot their predi cessors in the qualitv of their physical gifts. Leaving out of account such sessions as the first of the sixty-first congress, whose 14-1 days of deliberation lasted until August 5, and the second of the fiftv-third congress. which reached adjournment m August US, 189 1, after sit ting 2GS days, there are to be considered as precedents the d04-day session ot the tiftv-hrst congress, beginning on December !2. 1SS9, and not ending until October 1, 1S90, and the first session of the fiftieth congress, opened on December o, ISbf, and lasting 'Ml davs, or until October 20, 1SSS. The second session of the fortieth congress lasted 345 days, from December 2, 1SG7, to November 10. .1SGS. but there were recesses from Julv 27 to the end of the ses sion, and no business was transacted after dulv 27. "While nominally this was the longest session in the history of congress, lasting almost a year, the members actually es caped from "Washington in good season. So, should the unbending patriotism of the democrats on the one hand, and the unfaltering devotion of the re publicans to the welfare of the country on the other, keep them in Washington all summer, then hardship would be only such as others have borne heretofore. But their suf ferings will not arouse much sympathy in advance. There will be ample time for the production of political capital in the long session of the sixty-second congress, which will begin on December 4, a fact which is not likely to be over looked bv either side.

IMPROVING ARMY PRISON SERVICE. f COMMUNICATIONS. f Howard Hns More Knets, To tho Ktlltor: Permit mo to add iv little to tho subject of a (Untight road to Central l'olat. Slneo my rommtinlcntlon a tiny or two ago 1 find that a great Interest In tho mut ter has developed, While In a gener al way wo all know that tho county court contemplated Improving tho road between Medford and Central Point, we never thought that they proposed Improving It In tho splendid and substantial manlier contemplated In their present action. Otherwise the matter of placing tho costly Im provements on tho shortest ami best route would hnvo received more se rious consideration. If a railroad or private corporation had the mutter of such expensive Improvements under advisement they would Investigate over feature of the situation and would thoroughly ex plore every part of the country trav ersed to find tho shortest and host route before making such permanent Improvements. If one-half mile can be saved It will mean a saving of 2&0 miles per day, counting nil the travel passing over tho route, which nt ft cents per mile would cost tho public $1S. SO a day or 1-1600 per year, or G per cent on $75,000. Thso things would all bo considered In railway construction. Another Item: Central avenue is already paved for over ono- half mile nearer than nny other thor oughfare. There has never been nny revision of tho present county rond since the early emigration passed through the valley before Its settlement In lSO. The requirements of the emigrant travel were wood, water and grass, and these requirements were met by keeping as near Hear creek as possl ble. Hence tho location of tho pros ent county road unchanged for over 60 years except where the Improve ns: Fore and Aft Rhymes. Another question, Toll mo where Things go when they're blown Here and there f There's one Id like to Gaze upon. 'Tis that old one, "now And anon." And now a man wants a Jaw passed to make nil rural mail carrions blow u bugle when they deliver the mail. How much more must the suffering public stand for!

'THE most modern and-ndvniieed ideas upon penology will be introduced into the army method of handling garrison prisoners, according to ordei-s .just issued by Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff. The new regulations will not applv to militarv convicts, but onlv nienl ot 'i"""""" 'and claims pushed to those sentenced to confinement and hard labor without !' ou.t ? lt8 Kfnera,.c"r9e ' being discharged from the service. The purpose behind the new regulations is to give the prisoner every opportunity to make good, instead ot dis couraging all effort toward good behavior. Under the new orders, garrison prisoners will be allowed an abate ment of five days of their terms of confinement for each period of twenty-five days of good conduct. On sentences exceeding three months they will be allowed the five days' abatement for the first month, and thereafter ten days' abatement for each period of twenty days' good conduct. Abatements thus authorized mav beforfpitod whnllv or in part by subsequent misconduct. A garrison prisoner who has served one-half of a sen tence of ten daj's or more, according to the new orders, may submit a request to be put on probation for the re mainder of the sentence, and if his request is granted may be restored to duty on condition that if his conduct is not good while on probation he will be required to serve the t remainder of his sentence.

To the Editors The most' beaut I ful boulevards in tho world In the most beautiful cities of tho world, such ns Washington, D, C, and Do trolt, Mich., are built on curves and angles. There Is no particular beauty In n straight line, and especially so for u boulevard when It parallels a steam railroad, with Its tooting locomotives and rattling cars, and tho gns and smoke from tho engines greeting your nostrils, nnd the dust nnd cin ders pelting your eyeballs ns they surely would with a boulevard par alleling the southeast stdn of the S. P. railroad track from Mcdford to Central Point. Such a proposition should not have the attention of , the commercial Clubs of either of tho townH, nor tho en couragement of any considerable body of the taxpayers of tho county. Hulld tho asphalt' macadam road on tho present county rond between tho two cities and tho county will have ono of the most benutlful boul evards to he found anywhere, and ono thnt will bo. a credit to' Jackson county and tho Hnguo Hlver valley. Already property ownors on both sides of this county road are plan ning to build and to beautify their homes, and other prospective homo builders ,arc looking for lots and acreage along each sldo of this high way, because or Its proposed Improve, mont, and It will bo a rank Injustice to tho dwellers utid taxpayers on this hlghwawy not to make tho road im provement as at first intended. This boulevard, with Its pleasing curves and angles and with tho beau tiful homes that will bo built on both Hides of It, will bo a much more pleas ing prospect to tho pleasure seeking or business highway traveler or farmer than will a boulevard high way bounded on ono sldo forover by a straight lino of railroad right of way with Its everlasting flying dust and dirt and Intro ties and iron rails anil rolling stock with Its rattlo-ty-bang, and tho other sldo lined up with back yards nnd rear ends of farms for yearn to como, With the provnlllng winds from tho north and west carrying tho dust, dirt, smoke, gaH and microbes of dis ease from and across tho railroad and boulevard rlfiht Into tho faco of homes along tho ono lono sldo of such a boulevard prosperous, progres sive peoplo at least will not locate or build homes In such a place, Hulld the now macadam road whoro It wns first planned to build It, and Green Acre, Me., Miss Sarnh J. Farm er's "Advanced Thought" farm. where It ought to bo built, nnd no one Is Injured nnd not only tho pres ent residents nnd taxpayers on that road will be benefited, but tho en tire surrounding communities as well, and the country will he beautified nnd praised by everybody ns It never can be with the paved road parallel ing the S. P. railroad right of way Instead. Hulld the new nspluilt, maendnm on the prosont county road site be tween Medford nnd Central Point, and In a very short time wo will see flue homes and buildings with green lawns, flowing fountains, flowers and vines, beautiful gardens nnd every hlcgsod growing thing on each side of this paved highway that this mar velous Itoguo Itlver valley Is eupuhlo of producing. Compare this boulevard, with Its grateful, winding curves and angles, past beautiful homes nnd through bowei- f roses and a garden fairy land on each sldo, with a dreary, dusty, smoky, "stralght-as-an-nrrow" line boulevard along tho S P. rail road right of way, with Its barren stretch of uncultivated soli and un sightly wire fences and then consid er which would be tho boBt for. tho county nnd all tho people concerned.
