stop il. and 50 they went In force TO u
polnt on the road and set up holy picture
10 stop the new work Of the devil. Tho

seeing the picture standing on the track
thought there must be man behind it,
aud So came to halt. Tho assembled
multitude raised shout aud the priests
called out that the saint was all-powerful
aud would prevail against wickedness. Tho
officer IL charge Of the train came out md
took survey of tho situation. Then ho
told the engineer 10 RON back quarter Of

shouting was rcdoublcd and the priests weru
in the must rapturous delight. but their
exultation was soon changed TO grief, as tho

A ROAD SUPERVISOR.
A great deal Of fault is found with

A great deal Of fault is found with
our present road law and the condi.
ton of the road system Of this Ter
ritory in general. In the first place
it is impossible to get the ROAD work
un Ter way as early as it should be
by couple Of months or so, and
there is no unifcation and oversight
Of the system by which to secure
honest payment Of the taxes, thor
ough performance Of the work and
uniform and impartial enforcement
Of the obligations in all the districts
Some have imbibed an idea that
road work is only n form to be gone
through with, or shirked if practica-
BILE, instead Of a faithful conscien-
tious duty to the Territory to be
punctiliously rendered alike on honor
arron interest.
ITO ensure something like regulari-
ty and efficiency in this department,
practical men have suggested the APP
pointmcnt or election of a general
Road Superintendent whose business
il shall be to see that the road taxes
are vigorously collected and faithful
ly expended upon the roads. Such
an officer should receive a salary and
be made responsible for the satisfac-
tory discharge of his duty, and the
several district road supervisors
should be answerabIe 10 him. All
matters pertaining TO the public
roads should be under his charge,
and the road taxes ought to be paid
in cash and the work let out by con-
tract to the lowest respectable bid
ders. In this way, it is thought, and
in this way only can good country
roads eventually be secured in King
county.
We give these suggestions as the
opinions of matter-of- fact men who
have given the subject their atten-
ton, and who have had extensive
experience in this matter. and sub
nit them to the consideration Of the
Lawmakers of the Territory, and
others whose voice has weight in the
shaping of the public policy.

afflicted with a peculiar disease for the
las. fourteen years. TO ascertain The
precise nature of which. the most skilled
physicians on the Pacific Coast were
balhed. and for the interest OF vour
readers l will civ the following facts:
About fourteen yeats ago Mr. Nelson
fell down hatchway and sustained
some slight injuries which were consid-
cred Of little Importance Shortly after
this he was troubled with pain in the
lower part of the chest just below the
heart. II finally became so bad that
he was obliged to abandon his business.
and visited different cities on the Paci-
tic coast, and consulted the most emf
nent physicians, obtaining but little if
any relief. Finally, about two years
ago. while at Los Angeles, California.
he began to recover. and so far improved
bis health that his friends were boz aful
OF his ultimate recovery. aud the ply
sicians thought they had at last discov-
cred the true nature Of hIs atflictinn
But the pains soon returned, since which
time he has been sinking fast, suffering
almost constant pain aud considera BILE
hemorrhage from the stomach and
lungs, and finally died of exhaustion
and starvation, being unable to swallow
for some time previous to his death.
Just before he died, he requested his
physician, Dr. Fl C. Wilson, to hold a
post norton examination on his remains
for the benefit of medical science. Drs
Wilson, Minor and Wheeler, made the
examination and found. much to their
surprise that his death was caused by
an enlargement of the main blood ves-
sci carrying the blood from the heart.
causing it to press against the spinal
column, and forming large sack, caus-
ing an absorption of the bone by press
ing upon it, till nearly one third of the
bone was gone or decayed. The ply
sicians here regard it as the most
peculiar case that has come under their
notice, and one of great interest to the
profession. EN- QUAD.

development without parallel in his
tory. The population has increased
from $3.50. 600 to 4O,675.0O The area
has been extended from 10000 to 81
60S,SS4 square miles. The develop
nent of agriculture under the pressure
of immigration and stimulus of me-

without precedent. The value of man

Of mineral resources has not been the
work of century, but of fifty years.
There was not q single bank in the
Colonies in 1916; there are more than
