I.llJeKrnm, the well known Hertford mlnlnR engineer nntl metnl urpliit has Just received n patent on nn nutomnllc dam cresting device, thai Is tlenlfneil to conserve wntcr nt low stage, and permit high flood passing over without any attendant The dovlco Is constructed to serve the snnio purpose to a dam that a safety vclvo is to n steam boiler, an automntlc release of power at the daniago point. It can bo attached to any well constructed dam, nnd Its designer mnlntains that It will pre vent when In use. any repetition jf liorrorR like the Johnstown flood. Kiting water, when at the danger point, automatically releases spill way gatctt, allowing the surplus water to flow off, and when the danger point Is passed, automatically close;. them. Tho control apparatus permits the Immediate draining of water if re quired. Tho dovlco permits flood nnd drift to pass over without damage, as all parts aro perfectly sheltered by tho hinged or folded gate. Kach gate Is independent in operation, so that '-n case of exccsslvo drift striking tho dnm at any point, tho gato yields to the exccsslvo load and thus releasee drHt, and raises again to position without affecting other points.

Th:s will in clude men and women. We want to cast every vote in Oregon against the snloon, which, regulated or unregu lated, produces the same thing he wreck nnd ruin of life.

C, Feb. 27. As soils differ for agricultural pur poses, so they differ for roads, says the roads expert of the department of agriculture. Clay or soils of fine texture usually make Hor rouds, es jiecially if they contain much vege table matter. Tho coarser soils, however, which contain somo sand or gravel, will often make very sat isfactory roada for light traffic, pro vided they aro kept in projcr repnir. If the road is composed of lino vluy or soil, it will sometimes pay to resurface it with top soil from n adjneent field, which has sund or gravel mixed with it. This method, called tho top-soil method,- is now in successful use in Virginia, North Carolinu and Georgia, nnd probably other states. Tho earth road con best he crown ed uud ditched with a road muehiiie, and not with picks nnd shovels, Beoops and plows. Ono rond iim chine, with n suitable power and op erator, will do tho work of muny men with picks nnd shovels, and do it butter. Tho rond machine should bo used when tho soil is damp, so as to make tho boil hako when it dries out. Jf it is worked dry, it takes more power lo draw the machine, uud, bu ides, dry earth and dust retain moisture and nuicklv rut after rains. Tho uso of clod, sods, weeds or vegetable matter in building forth roads should be avoided, because tliev al.so retain jnoUtnre. It is a great mistake to put the working of the earth off until the surface is baked dry and hard. It is not only difficult to work, but is unsatisfactory work when done. Kurlli which is loose nnd dry will remain dusty us long as the dr. weather lasts and then turn to mud as soon us the rains beg'u. Ky us iiif tbo rol machine in tliu spring of the venr while the soil is suit and damn, tho surface is more easily shaped uud soon packs down into a dry, hard crust which is less liable to become duty in summer or muddy iti winter. Storm water should he disposed of quickly heforo it has tiino to pene trate deeply into tho surface. This can be done by givinir the rond a crown or slope from tho center to the sides. For nu earth road which is twenty-four feet wide, the center should be not less than six inches nor more than twelve inches higher than Hip outer edges of the shoul ders. A iiiirinw road which is too high in the middle will become rut ted almost us quickly us one which is too flat, for the reason that on the narrow road nil the traffic is forced to use only a narrow strip.

McDonald of '.Medford was a pleasant caller last Monday, lie was here canvassing the town and sur rounding country for photos to en large. 11. I. Cow-gill, civil engineer for the Itoguc Hiver Laud, Irrigation and l anal lompnny, was out supenn- tending the work on the new flumes in the old Snowy Hutte mill. Hert Clnrno, who lives nenr the county road from here to Trail and L. (.'. Myers of Lake Creek, were do ing business with our merchants Widnesday. Marsh Applegate and K. K. Ash of Trail were at the Sunnyside Tucsdny night. Mr. Ash was out aft er n load of goods to replenish his stock. Hev. L. Ii. Simmons, the school house janitor, pastor of the llaptist church here and general roustabout, was tearing away the old dilapidated board fence from around the school grounds the first of the week, thus relieving us of nu eyesore that should have been removed long ngo. Mr. It'ggius came out from Ins home nenr Derby Tuesday evening, spent the night with us nnd went on to Medford nnd Jacksonville the next morning on land business. K. I. Power, who has been nt work on the flume on the old mill, cut his ankle Wednesday morning and had to lay off. lie went to Medford Thursday morning. A. W. Walker and George Cnre trns of Medford were pleasant call ers last Wednesday for dinner. Mr. Walker is a candidal e for sheriff on the republican ticket nt the primary election May l.'i. He seemed to meet with some success while here, us those who know him sK'ak favor ably of him. George II. Weaver of Central Point was also here for dinner the same dny. He wns canvassing for a pneumatic sweeper and seemed to be meeting with considerable success. Harvey Stenlcy and Gus Nigren of Hrownsboro were doing business here Wednesday. Last Wednesday was Kev. L. L, Simmons' thiity-sixth birthday and in anticipation of that day or event the Indies of the Aid Society took the no. ion into their wise heads to make n nice quilt and present it to h m on thnt occasion. Tliev also do cided to insert (he names of the per sons who were interested in the quit nnd another notion they took was to tax each one who had their names in tho quilt ten cents each and the proceeds to he given to Kev. L. L. Simmons to he applied on his back salary but this was all to bu kept a profound secret from him. Now just to think of one hundred nnd fifty perons, men and women, all knowing of the plan and still keep it from him; but it seems thnt they did, but how, will bo hard for me to tell. It was all arranged that we were nil to meet nt tho home of Mr. Painter on Wednesday evening and not let him know anything of what was going on and Mr. Painter is Mr. S'h. nearest neighbor, but tho ladies were equal to tho occasion, so Mrs. Florey planned to have them take dinner with them that day, and in the afternoon Mrs, Hrynnt plan ned to have Mrs. Simmons spend tho afternoon with her fitting a dress so as to have them nway from homo all day nnd Mr. S. was at work on his school ynrd fence. Well, tho re suit was that just alter dark tho neighbors commenced to come in while Kev. S. was in blissful ignor ance of what was going on, studying his sermon for uoxt Sunday, When about 8 o'clock a committee waited on him to invito him nnd his family over to Jlrothor Painter's to spend tho evening, and when ho arrived he was met by fifty-five of his neigh bors to tender congratulations. Now, imagine Ids surprise when he was ushered into such a crowd. (I hae the names of (hose who were pres ent, but the list is so long (hat I urn afraid that ye editor might think that they would lake too much space.) In ii short time six ladles came marching out with the quilt, Iiuvlii(,' jia-viutibly placed Hcv, ti. in They have Just arrived. The New Mahogany Cult Ilalrarlnn Strap Sandal with low heels.
