Change Of Law Needed

1t will not be long before our newly
elected Lawmakers assemble at Olym-
pia in a body. There is great deal Of
important work on hand for them.
Among the most important TO our set
tiers Is the road law. The law should
be 50 changed as TO make it compul-
sorry for all road districts to do their
road work in May or June, and make
it optional with the residents 10 either
work out their road tax or pay it TO
the road supervisor. BY this way
nearly every settler would work his
tax out and in most cases better work
would be done, for the farmers and
others would be working in their own
interest. BY having the work done
during the months above named it
would give all new or improved roads
a chance to settle during the dry sea-
son. 1t Is but very little good TO i'm
prove a road at this season Of the year,
but at present Is the time when most Of
the work is done.-Sauk City Star.

What Good Roads Mean

They would make ii possible for the
farmers to take advantage promptly of
the highest market, no matter at what
season Of the year
They would save him days and weeks
of time which he wastes every year
wallowing through the disgusting mire
of dirt roads.
They would reduce to minimum
the wear and tear on wagons and car
riages.
They would lessen the expense of
keeping horses in working order, and
fewer horses would be required in the
country to perform the farmers work.
They would require less to keep them
i'm repair than do the dirt roads.
They would make il easier for "a team
to pull several tons over their smooth
surface than to draw a wagon through
the mud.
They would afford ready communi-
cation with the outside world at all
seasons of the year.
They would save the farmer many
vexations and nervous strains.
They would practically shorten the
distance to the local market.
They would increase the demand for
country and suburban property.-Farm
and Firesde.

Better Roads Wanted

Now that the county road is a thing
practically impossible, the agitation for
better highways is holding full sway,
and will do so at least until the sum
mer sun renders il practicable 10 take
needed measures, when the farmer will
suddenly find il a needless expense to
vote money for getting his produce TO
market, and unless some action is taken
in amending our road laws so that IA
concerted movement will be prac tically
compelled, little relief will be obtained.
The roads of Western Washington,
subjected as they have been to incessant
rains, are in terrible shape, and their
condition during the winter season
proves without doubt the greatest
drawback to agricultural development,
and necessarily a menace to the busi-
ness Of merchants, especially Of the
smaller towns. Their permanent inn
provement is of importance and should
meet with universal encouragement.

THE ONE UNIVERSAL DEMAND
The Press of the Country Agitating the
Question-Ferndalew Waking Up
Benefits of Good Roads
THE ONE UNIVERSAL DEMAND

Throughout the entire country, both
in the smaller villages and in the larger
cities, the newspapers are agitating the
question of good roads with degree of
interest and intensity which it is hoped
will be kept up until satisfactory results
are obtained. Beyond question, the
most important step which could posi-
bly, be taken towards the development
Of the state Of Washington, and
especially of Whatcom county, is such
a system Of roads, ramifying all the
rural districts, as will allow Of easy and
safe travel to and from the common
centers of trade. The question is one
in which every resident, both of the
city and country, is interested, and
should be agitated and talked about
until the public officials, both of the
county and state, take decisive steps in
the premises. 1t is useless to hope that
Whatcom county will enjoy very de-
cided development until its system Of
roads is greatly improved. Its present
condition in this respect is an almost
absolute bar to progress, and the ad-
vancement Of the county will amount
to practically nothing until its residents
awake to the necessity of "a thorough
and adequate system of highways
throughout its entire borders. Follow
ing are few quotations from the ex-
changes Of the HERALD on the subject (:
Ex-Governor Hilrs Plan
An attempt will be made to secure at
the coming session of the New York
legislature endorsement of the state
road plan recommended by eX-GOv-
ernor Hill, which provides that the
state shall build one or two roads in
each county as an incentive TO a sys-
TEN Of good roads. As an object lesson,
such roads would, no doubt, be valu-
able, since they would teach the people
what good roads really are, but the
tendency would be rather to induce
the people TO lean upon the state for
such improvement than TO emulate il
through the usual means of road-build-
ing. 1t is with communities as with
individuals. The best, and the only
way, to make them assume RESPONSE
bility is to throw it upon them. For
this reason the state blunders in as
suming charge Of enterprises that the
people of each community should un-
dertake and carry on for themselves

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand .cres OF
Lana IN the heart Of Tehama County. for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This &Snd embraces lands from first
Glass Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
lana OF taT average quality, and is offered at
nom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 100, $50 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the nav
meps of interest only tor three years at which
tlEie the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual instsllments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal IS TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have i've years In which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, ard es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had IN California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
Oody OF land was.the breaking up of large
hoidlns Tor the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and it's devotion
