The Old National Turnpike.

The events connected with the
construction Of this famous roadway,
the location of the route, costs, etc.,
are thus summarized by "Gath :"
The National Road was undertaken
by the Government in fulfillment
of a contract with the State of Ohio.
the State agreeing not to tax govern
ment sales of land in Ohio for five
years after sale; 2 per cent of the
sales were to be applied to making a
road from the Atlantic navigable
waters to the lower Ohio. This
promise the government has not
kept. and merely built from Cumber-
land, Md.
Congress passed the act March 2.
1890. The motive spirit behind the
road was Secretary Gallatin. who
lived near the road in Southwestern
Pennsylvania. at New Geneva.
thirty.five miles above Brownsville.
There the first glass in Pennsylvania
was made. and it is now the cheapest
glass IN the world. A powerful in
centive to build this road extra well
was the incipient secession move
ments in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Southern Ohio about the year 1907.
The Road Commissioners, Eli Will
liams and Thomas Moore of Mary.
land. and Joseph Kerr. of Ohio. To-
Gated the road in 1906. taking Brad.
docks route to Gist's and Burd's
route to Brow nsvill. By 1907 the
site had been chosen from Cumber.
land to Sandy Hollow. the eastern
division. The remainder of the
western division to Wheeling was
not fully settled till about 1917.
The road was sixty.six feet wide
the road.bed from thirty to thirty.
four feet. 1t was paved twenty feel
wide. eighteen inches deep at the
middle. twelve inches at the edges.
The lower stratum was pave
ment of stone. closely set vertically
covered with broken stones to pas.
thrnugh a seven.inch ring, and then
six inches Of the top laid with stone,
passing through a three.inch ring
The highest grade of the eastern
division is 5 degrees; of the western
division, 43 degrees.
1882 SO the road was thrOnghly re-
paired by the United States and sur
rendered as toll road to the State
through which it passed.
In 1888 Colonel Thurber, Of th'
British army. built road from tht
Cumberland Valley to Pittsburg.
"In 1S2O." says Hildreth. "th'
Cumberland road has been completed
to Wheeling at an expense 0f abou
S1.700,000." Many petitions had beeI
presented for its continuance west
ward, and $4,000 were appropriated
for survey, but with proviso tina
this was to be no pledge for any fur
ther expense.-Gath.

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but 1t also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. am ready to certify to this
statement before justice of the peace
IL. Hulsebus, Lewsburgh Iowa.
"Some years ago, after severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. l used
such preparations for restoring 1t as my phy-
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. / then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short Of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair VigOr, which brought a
growth of hair in few weeks. | think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing. and have continued to use it
for that purpose. / believe Ayers Hair
fipor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

D. R. Anthony, editor of the Lsaven- worth, Kansas, Times. has probably more bullet holes in him than any other editor in the country. During long and eventful career he has been fearless in bis utterance of what be conceived to
 be right and many times has been called
 to account, st the point of pistol and
 no man ever sought satisfaction of him
 in any shape.that he was not accommodated
 In fact it was formerly a by word lr Kansas, that Anthony was ever
 as ready to fight as he was to write. About eight years ago he wa:
 shot in the neck by a newspaper reporter while coming out of a theater, from the effects of,which he oams very nearly dying. Since that he has had appar-
 ently smooth editorial sailing until . few days since when a defeated candi- date for mayor of Leavenwort manned Fortescue made an attack upon hIm witt a slung shot Upon meeting Colonel Ar thony, Forescue asked if he was armed When informed by the colonel that he was not, Fortescue then attempted tC slug him. Colonel Anthony retreated to bis newspaper office and secured re volver and returned to meet bis assail- ant, who had disappeared.

"Mohave county will soon be the frs agricultural county in the territory Apples, oranges, lemons. figs, grapes olives and all kinds of semi tropical fruits can be raised in protusion anywhere within the county, and it is only mat ter of few short years when Waullapai and Sacramento valleys will be covered with vast wheat and barley fields. Our valleys are not sandy wastes as many suppose, but pure virgin soil, washed down from the mountains by tbe rains of
 past ages."-Mohave Miner. Toe above paragraph shows the importance of hav-
 ing @ survey made of the government
 lands in our sister county. At present
 there is only one township in the entire
 county upon which settler can go and
 obtain title to land, the total amount
 of land surveyed being only about
 22,eoo acres. On the resembling of
 congress united effort should be made 10 secure the survey of government land as the growth and prosperity of the terri- tory is retarded by the failure to make such survey. There are thousands of acres of choice arabic land in northern Arizona that are unsurveyed and that would be settled If settlers could have assurance of title.

 patch from Charleston, South Carolina says: A significant political meeting
 was held at the state capital yesterday, It was the first wtite republican meet ing ever held in tbe state and is said to be largely due to the out growth oi the alliance wave which swept over this state las, year. The significance of the meeting was the presence for the first time of adlng white citizens who have heretofore bsen associated with the straight democratic party. Fifty one clubs were represented. The meet ing elected delegates to the republican lea que convention which meets at Gin cinnsti, April aIst. This movement IS regarded with some concern here, taken as ii is in confederation of the reported declaration of the alliance in favor ol a thiid party.

Secretary Blaine's reply to the Italian premier is very dignified in its tone' but firm in it's conclusions. Mir Blame does no, recede from the position taken in his former note. He closes bis reply by saving: 'If it shall result that the case can be prosecuted only in the state of Louisiana, and the usual judlcal in- yestigation and procedure under the criminal law is not resorted to, 1t VIII then be the duty of the United States to consider whether some other form of re-
 dress may be asked. Is is understood tbat the state grand jury IS now investl- gating the affair and while it is possible the jury may fail to present indictments the United States cannot assume that such will be the case. The United States did not by treaty with Italy be- come an insurer of lives or property ot
 Italian subjects resident within our terri l tory. No government is able. however high it's civilization, however vigilant It's police supervision, however severe its criminal code and however prompt and 1 infexible its criminal administration, to | secure its own citizens against violence
 prompted by individual malice sor by 1 sudden popular tumult. A foreign resi- dent must be content in such cases to share the same redress that is offered by i the law to the citizen; and ha: no just cause for complaint or right to
 ask the interposition of his country .i
 the courts are equally open to him fol
 redress of bis injuries. The treaty IT
 the first, second and third, and notably
 the twenty-thnd articles, clearly limits
 the rights guaranteed 10 citizens of the
 contracting powers Tn the territory o
 each to equal treatment and to the free
 access to the courts of justice. For eign residents are not made a favored
 class. It is not believed that Italy would desire a more stringent construc-
 tion of her duty under the treaty
 Where injury is inflicted upon for igr resident, it is not the act of the govern
 ment or of it's officers, but of an individ-
 ual or of a mob. It is not believed thai
 any claim for indemnity can justly b' made unless it shall be made to appea
 that the public authorities charged witt
 the peace of the community have con- nived at an unlawful act, or, having timely notice of a threatened danger
 have been guilty of such gross negligence
 in taking necessary precautions as iC amount to connivance.

A contributor signing himself A. L. k in a recent issue of the Courier accuses Gov. Irwin of pocket vetoeing two bills which this contributor claims would, Il they had become laws, saved the terri tory thousands of dollars. One was the bill reducing the number of employees and the salaries received by them at the territorial prison, The other provided for leasing the prison. Whatever merit these bills may have
 possessed and without questioning the
 saving to the territory, we are reliably
 informed tha. while they passed both
 houses they never reached the governor.
 and consequently he had no opportu-
 tunIty of vetoeing them or of approving them. Such being the case the respon- sibility of losing this great saving to the territory rests with he democratic party.
 It was the duty of the attaches of the Legislature to have presented these bills to the governor, so that the political
 point aimed to made agaiust Governer
 Irwin struck the other party.
