OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

Every intelligent and observing
man will admit that good roads are
a prime necessity to every locality
which hopes to be prosperous. This
is plain proposition, to the truth
fulness of which every one will read
lily assent, and yet with all our laws
on the subject, which, if strictly en-
forced, in the spirit in which they
were framed, would result in great
good, Louisiana is in a deplorable
condition regarding good public
roads. At many seasons of the year
roads passing through bayou and
river bottomsare almostimpassable,
the more elevated portions are wash.

to put them in good condition; but,
with a spirit of resignation which
would be highly commendable under
other circumstances, our people &C.

the inevitable, and trust to merci.
full Providence to bring better wealth.
er, and with it better roads. AS a
consequence of this state of things
business suffers, capitalists and en-
igrants who might come here to in-
vest their money and settle in our
State are discouraged, and seek
other sections where communication
with the outside world is not so diff.
cult and hazardous to life and limb.
Where you find a town with good
roads leading into it, there you will
find live, energetic business men, and
in the country surrounding it pros.

Coed roads are the handmaids o.
civilization and prosperity, and no
section can stand on a solid basis of
prosperity until it has them. The
history of all great nations proves
this. Rome, in the days when her
mailed legions overrun the world
and made all nations within her
reach pay tribute to her power, was
celebrated for her magnificent high. |

What q Spider Did.

Things are constantly occurring that
cause the public to look with wonder
and amazement, and it is supposed by
many that no such thing ever occurred
before; but very frequently such i'm
pressi0ns are erroneous. Some weeks
q . spider was found under the set
tee in Esquire Robinson's Office, with a
snake entwined in its web. Many
thought it q most remarkable feat for
the spider 70 accomplish. Well, it was;
but spiders in years past have shown
Just such ingenuity. We find in the
Eastern Gazeae of 1924 the following
statement, which was copied from the
Connecticut Mirror, a statement of a
cas- very similar to that of Esquire
Robinson's snake:
One day last week the workmen in
Mr., Peck's machine factory in South
ington discovered under one of the
work-benches q black snake, of the
white-throated species, and about six
inches long, suspended by the web of a
spider. The spider was Of the common
house sort and not uncommonly large.
When first discovered the little insect
had raised its victim about half a foot
from the floor, and had him hung by q
single thread. The ingenuity and pow.
er Of the spider was truly wonderful.
Passing rapidly down the line he would
fasten his cordage around the neck OF
the snake, pass back to his W nest on
the under surface of the bench, then
going down again"cast a hitch around
the tail, and returning to his nest would
avail himself of the contertions of the
snake, alternately hanging up his lines
SO as to bring his game nearer home.
In this manner he continued his labor
until evening, leaving the snake alive,
but so completely exhausted and Sc
cured to be safe for the night. In the
morning he was dead.

An Enthusiastic Soldier.

During a late election at San Diego,
q soldier stationed at the mission, who
had moistened his clay with good effect
during the day, gave o fearful whoop
in front Of the Exchange, leaped high
into the air, and subsiding into the pos.
ture of Ajax defying the lightning,
gave vent to the following highly con
ciliatory remarks: ME name is Pat
Malley, from Galway, and anybody
that don't like him. can kiss his Irish
fut, and anybody that says anything
against q soldier, because he is q sol.
dier, I IAN knock h--ps delights out
of i'm. o Galway, Galway, Galway
Won't somebody hit me?" This last
request was made in an earnest tone OF
entreaty, perfectly affecting to listen to.
It was not complied with.
This soldiers story reminds me OF
another:
s.You know q soldier has two dresses,
full uniform and fatigue; the oue blaz-
ing with worsted embroidery: t'other,
dull and sombre-looking. Patrick Ho-
gan. Of the Second United States Foot,
went forth one day into the wilderness
near the barracks, and seating himself
beneath a tree, essayed to read q small
Roman Catholic book called 'TheWords
of Jesus when 'zoom!' a yeliow-jacket
hornet stung him under the left ear.
1t hurt and Pat chased the little an.
imar for some time, but fruitlessly.
Next day he went forth again; same
tree; same book; everything quiet, wher
buzz! buzz! a large brown beetle came
flying up. Pat looked at him, and left.
:Ah, be Jabers" said he; my boy, dye
think 1 don't know ye in yerfatigues?'"

1t is not easy to understand
why the British Government
should insist upon sending a law
yer over to Cairo to conduct the
defense of Arab Pasha, unless
the object is simply to enable a
British subject to draw a fat fee
from the Egyptian Government.
England certainly has no right 10
interfere at this stage of the
game. Having surrendered Arab
into the hands of the Egyptian
authorities for trial under the
laws of the country, ii would
seem that England should have
nothing further to say. But it is
cold day when John Bull lets
pass an opportunity to NEEDLE in
other peoples business, whether
there's anything in particular to
be gained or not.

In another column we print
the report of the experts appoint
ed to examine into the condition
of the Office of the Probate
Judge. 1t is needless to state
that the result of the investiga-
ton was favorable to Judge Lee
Wy. No other outcome was pos
sible. It is but justice to him,
however, to state that the inves-
tigation was Instigated to crafty
personal spite, and not through
fear of any official crookedness on
his part. Neither can it be said
that the report partakes of the
nature of political whitewash, as
the committee is composed en-
tirely of democrats-one repre-
senting the Territorial, and tn
other the County Democratic

The present comet in the east

remarkable of all the modern
comets. Prof. Lewis Swift,
director of the Warner observa-

that the comet grazed the sun so
closely as to cause great distur-
bance. SO much so that it has
divided into no less than eight
separate parts, all of which can
be distinctly seen by good
telescope. There is only one
other Instance on record where a
comet has divided, that one being
Biella's comet of 1916, which
separated into two parts. Appli-

The citizens of Yuma should
take the matter in hand at once,
and keep identifying our SUM-
kissed valley. Water is now
plentiful and cheap, and each
house should be surrounded by
green shrubbery and bright-hued
flowers. Magnolia, live-oak, cy-
press, fig and orange trees will
thrive here. and in a few years
richly repay the small expense
and trouble incurred in their
growing, in a wealth of luxuriant
foliage, delightful fruit and cool
ing shade. The few green spots
that are now GASES in our town
should become one stretch Of
"nature's carpet" and thereby
beautify a place that is blessed
with climate that is perfection
for nine months IN the year. A
little trouble and but small eX-
pense would work wonders in
the appearance of Yuma, and our
streets would every winter be
thronged with visitors from all
portions of the States, in search
of that boon that is found here
by all-priceless health.

prevent the removal Of the Terri

thing which is to-day in imminent

building of a bridge across the

all to be of vast importance, and

any losses are sustained through
