GOOD ROADS.
The county convention on Friday last
n al n foilcuir racoIutirus

The county convention on Friday last
passed the following resolution:
Resolved. That we are in favor of the construc-
ton aud general improvement OF county roads
within King county, and that we demand of our
county commissioners immediate action look
ing to that end, and, If necessary, that they
should submit TO the voters OF the county the
question OF issuing bonds sufficient for that pur-
pose.
The want of better public highways Is
now generally agitated. Congressman
Post. of Illinois. tried 70 persuade the
Fifty-second congress to pass a bill for the
creation of a national highway commits
sion to inquire into the effect Of recent
local legislation for highway improvement,
and whether any national legislation for
the same is desirable and feasible, the
of roads and bridges. the use of convict
labor on highways, the regulation Of the
construction of vehicles for the better
preservation of road surfaces.
United States Senator Henderson also
introduced bill creating a commission
whose duties shall be ito consider and re-
port whether in any part of the United
States military or post roads might profit
ably be established; to collste the various
recent state laws regarding highway inn
provement with information as to their
practical working; also to inquire and re-
port whether any form of national aid to
local communities in road construction is
desirable and practicable, and especially
to consider the feasibility of cooperation
by national, state and county authority in
general system OF road construction"
The subject of better public highways
has been presented by the chief executive
officers Of dozen different states to the at
tention of their several legislatures. Moth.
ing has yet been done. owing chiefly to the
indifference OF the general public upon the
subject. This indifference is singular,
when we consider that every member OF
society is interested in the public road.
The country doctor. minister. the farmer,
the commercial traveller, the pleasure
seeker, the whselman. the pedestrian are
interested in the public road, and yet We
cling to the wretched system Of roads of
fifty years ago. desp ise the fact that it can be
clearly demonstrated that solid, smooth,
level road, which allows the farmer to con-
vey to market twice as much with half the
power, Is advantageous to him; that, be,
cause OF saving in annual repairs and the
saving of waste In vehicles, horseflesh.

THE PASSING THRONG.

John c. Fisher. secretary OF the Spokane Min.
Ing Exchange, was in the city yesterday and
stopped at the Grand hotel. This was MI.
Fishers first visit to Seattle In seven years,
and he was somewhat astonished at the
changes which have taken place in
that time. Said he last night:
The samples of ore from the Monte Cristo aud
Silver Geek mining districts that have seen
are certainly good indications of tine properties
and Seattle people should push developments
work rapidly on them and get them into the
ranks of producers. Nearly all the samples that
l have seen would seem to be the kind of ore
most easily treated by the new cyanide process
which IN my opinion Is going to become
very popular on account of its cheapness
The mines west of the Cascades are
receiving more attention and development
this year than at any time airce
their discovery. 1t is hoped. however, that the
troubles in the Cpnr d'Aiene district are 1t an
end, and while difficulties there have not been
settled amicanly, 1t is believed that they are
settled definitely, which is perhaps even better.
This district produced over 100000 In gold,
silver and lead last year. and would have IN
creased their output by at least $l,OOo,o 600 this
year except for the strike IL will now be sew.
