For many years the roads in the coun-
ty have not been in such good condition
as at present. They remind one of
chausees of Europe and should lead farm
ers to agitate the building of proper roads.
Vast sums are expended yearly in i'm
proving roads, but because of lack of
system and harmonious action little is
accomplished with the money. 1t will be
many years before roads will be IN good
and permanent condition if country mer
chants have anything to say, for they
realize That poor roads means increased
business for themselves.

Horrible Tragedy at Snohomish

\ horrible story comes from Snoho-
mish, of the murder Of two men bv
two lads, who are how in Jail awaiting
trial for their awful deed. The names
OF the victims are Geo. Shoultes and
Fred. Schmidt, farmers, and the lads
names are Robinson and Livingston.
The tragedy occurred three miles from
Dubuque, Thursday afternoon, OF last
week. 1t seems from the meacre re-
port furnished by the telegraphic ac-
count that there must have been a
