Neyadas Bad Roads.


 we have heard no little complaint about the very bad condi bad the public roads in Nevada county. As z journal fighting for the veal of the county as well as the county site, and desiring the greatest good to the greatest number, we feel it onl duty to speak out on this subject. Though the subject will be dealt with plainly, it is not our desire to be personal or to hurt any one's feelings.
 It is a fact that the roads of Me- vada county are, and have been all through the winter, in deplorable condition we might say a disgrace to the county. We have hear q farmers and others say they have beer absolutely impossible a good portion of the time. The roads in contiguous counties have not been so bad. Parties from Clark and Hampstead counties have repeat edly told us they could easily sec the difference and for the worse, as soon as they got into Nevada county, This should not be so.
 The necessity of good roads, all will admit-that we have them not all will agree. Who is it that suf- fers because of this? To some ex- tent all of the citizens of the coun- ty are detrimentally..af affected tn ere by-the farmer perhaps more than any other class-the meroh mt and nearly every other class. The bus mess men of Prescott, the county site, especially say tliey have felt sensibly.. the ill effects Of the bad roads in the county. Considerable trade has been diverted to other towns, that rightfully belongs to this place. People are always ready to do their trading at the point nearest them, when the roads will admit of it, but are also ready and apt to go to one father of, if the roads leading to them are bet ter than those leading to the near CT one. If then, it is to the inter- ests of all the people of our county to have good roads, why can't We have ,hemi We can if ne ciil.
 The law says every person, sub ject to road duty, shall work ten days every year, or pay ten dollars instead. Overseers are amenab le to apportioning Justices and these Justices to the Grand Jury Just before the Grand Jury meets every year, the roads are scratch ed over in places, i've are toldD the worst holes filed. and reported fin as good condition as could be ex' pected.' One reason the law is not enforced is because people do not and will not work roads unless compelled to do so.
 Now for the remedy, the milk in the CCcoanut of this article. The Grand Jury is certainly the phys ician. Let this body take hold O1 the matter and handle it right when it meets next month. IL alone csli enforce the law and rem edy tiiis great evil in our county Let not such bad roads continue to be d reproach, to our county It is very important that the com ing Grand Jury do it's full duty 1T this matter, regardless of who will suffer. Our best people demand this at it's hands. Those derelict il duty should suffer for their remis, ness, and in the future there vii not be so much slighting of work It would also be a good idea .o ap point committee from among tho Grand Jury, to see that our road: are put in good order this summcI and fall.

GlimpSes of the ''Monumental City"
When we left the grand old State we
fully determined to keep our promise to
friends to write up descriptions of interest
ing scenery, incidents, etc; but the fact is
that in the delightful trip over the Pennsyl-
vania r. r. through the magnificent
scenery, presented with panoramic effect
upon the slide of progress, Of autumual
woods in all their glory of varigated effects
of mountain, hill, and vale, we saw only
what so many Of your readers have often
seen and hence a description would prove
very uuinterestng in presenting nothing
new and fresh. So we have decided to
drop such a feature as impracticable. Our
long silence has been due rather to press of
work than lack Of subject.
Baltimore has been long known as the
Monumental City" Isuppose the fact of
its having been long known is sufficient
wauent for the title for the number and
beauty of its monuments would now scarce
ly Justify the claim In this we do not
wish to reflect aught against the right of
the city to the title for the patriotism which
caused her citizens to erect two notable
monuments, one to commemorate Wash
ington and one to the memory of the de,
fender of the city in 1914, deserves to be
recognized in terms Of praise
In 1909 the Legislature granted leave for
and by means of Lotteries, which in that
day were lawful and common, the sum OF
SlOO, 600 was raised; enough to pay part OF
the cost Of erecting Washington Monument.
On July 4th, 1915, the corner stone wa,
laid with imposing ceremonies. The entir,
monument is Of white marble. It's base il
90 feet square and 35 feet high; from thi.
base rises a Dorio column, go feet in
diameter at the base and 10 feet at the top,
to the height Of 1856 feet above the ground
Upon the capital Of this column is a gallery
and above that colossal statue Of Wash.
