IMPORTANCE OF ooop ROADS.


At the recent worlds congress Of
roads, held in Boston, paper was
read by Albert A. Pope, which
should awake an interest in the
matter of good public highways all
over the land. Among other things
he said:
aside from questions Of political
gain, which is perhaps the lowest
standpoint to consider the good that
comes from easy means of commun-
ication, there is to be borne in mind
that good roads are the great high
ways for the advancement of social
life, education and christianity.
The visits of friends, the attendance
of the children at school, and the
gathering together at church are all
governed, to "A greater or less extent
by the condition of the roads; and
the abandonment of the farm and
the crowding together of people in
the cities is due largely to the iso-
lation caused by bad means of COM
munication to and from the farm.
But the problem to be solved is to
provide money to build good roads,
Many farmers are opposed to the
good road movement because they
believe it means to them increased
taxation, and in some sections OF
the country agricultural interests
are so depressed that they do not
feel able to bear greater financial
burdens. IL has been estimated
that the State of Illinois loses every
year 800, 100000 because of bad
roads. Now, am going to urge a
plan which | believe to be the least
burdensome and the most efi'ectual
and equitable for providing good
roads. Let each State establish q
gradual succession tax-that is a
tax on property passing by success
sion by inheritance or legacy. Such
a tax might be arranged as follows
On estates valued at $4,000 up to
100000 one per cent; on estates
over 100000 to $50o,000 two pei
cent, increasing the amount by de-
grees as the inheritance increased
The succession tax will not fall
upon the poor. Those whose es
tates amount to $4,000 can wei
afford to give 800 to the State il
return for all the protection of 1T
laws, which has enabled wealth Il
be accumulated and enjoyed Goof
roads when rightly constructed cal
be maintained at comparativel,
. small cost, and as the wealth of tn
states increases the succession ia,
, would furnish sufficient revenue Il
meet all expenses of the state afte
paying for the maintenance of tn
roads.

Geo. p. Hall will soon establish
a public ferry on Snake river at a
point near his big fruit orchard.
The timbers for the boat have been
ordered and are daily expected to
arrive here. This route will, it is
said, greatly shorten the distance
from Mountain Home to the Bru-
neau canal and dam. A good wagon
road on each side Of the river has
already been completed.
G. A. Brown of Boise city gives
the Statesman novel method OF
saving young trees from the ravages
of jack rabbits. 1t is simply this
Take Fraser's axle grease and, with
rag, smear it over the trunk of the
trees. It will not only keep the
rabbits away but will protect the
trees and free them of insects. One
box of axle grease is sufficient for
about 200 young trees. Mr.. Brown
saws he has tried the axle grease
plan and it is a success, saving the
farmers hundreds of dollars usu-
ally spent in rabbit-proof fences, etc
In his orchard in Kansas there was
considerable clover. The rabbits
swarmed through the place in win,
ter. burrowing into the snow and
eating the green clover, but they
never bothered the creased trees.

popuLIsr PARTY CALI.

Hon. James Gum, secretary, and
Hon. d. L. Bailey, chairman, of
the Peoples Party State Central
Committee, have issued a call for
the members Of the committee to
meet in Boise next Monday. 1t is
as follows:
A meeting Of the State Central
Committee Of the Peoples Party
will be held at Boise, commencing
at 2 p. M, Monday, Nov. 20, 1898,
for the purpose of expressing our
disapproval Of the recent hostile at
titude of the national Congress to-
ward silver, and to prepare for a
thorough organization of all bimet-
alists in the State. In the new
counties in which the Peoples party
has not perfected an organization,
the bimetalists and all those who
are opposed to the recent base sur
render of the Republicans and Dem
ocrats, are earnestly urged to CO.
operate and send delegate to rep.
resent them. A representative is
wanted from every county in the
State. If circumstances should rem.
der it impossible for the members
of the committee from any county
to attend, measures should be taker
to select well known Populist il
his stead, it being the urgent desir,
to have every county represented.

This resolution was passed unanimously
by both houses and Immediately signed
by President Cleveland.
In 1.-The meantime the city was being
vigorously canvassed for subscriptions,
and as soon as 5000, 900 had been assured
Director General de Young requested
architects to submit plans for the build
ings. Things went ahead with a rush,
and the offices of the executive commit
tee in San Francisco were the busiest
place west of the Rocky mountains.
The actual work of building was be-
gun on Aug. 24. when ground was broken
in the presence of 10000 people, the
largest crowd ever assembled on the Pa
cifc coast. Mr.. de Young turned the
first shovelful of earth with silver
shovel. The event was celebrated by
grand civic and military parade, and

booming OF cannon amid the hills where

graders started IN at once TO prepare me

since then the work has gone merrlly for
ward.
The architectural plans adopted by
the executive committee include live
main structures, one devoted to manu-
features and the liberal arts, another 10
agriculture, another to the mechanic
arts and another to the fine arts, the
fifth being the Administration building.

a Great saving.

The duplex and quadruplex systems Of
telegraphy begun by Mr.. Edison in 1869
and finished after six years of work
have saved in America alone the enor-
nous sum of $15, 900, 900. By the duplex
system two currents of different degrees
of strength were sent over the same
wire in the same direction, TINS doubling
its efficiency, while the quadruplex ar
rangement became possible when it was
discovered that these two currents could
be sent in opposite directions at the same
time, thus enabling one wire to transmit
four simultaneous messages. Not salts
fed with this, Mr.. Edison is confident of
attaining sextuplex and octuplex sys-
tems,-BaltimOre Times.

er5 at the corners, from which a large
central hexagon tower and dome appear
TO spring. The domes will be gilded,
and the coloring OF the whole structure
will be of oriental richness.
The Fine Arts building is the least i'm
posing of the lot 1t is to be built of
brick, with Egyptian columns and a
pyramidal roof, and is altogether gloomy
and tomblille. 1t will have the negative
merit perhaps OF setting off by contrast
the graceful beauty of the other struc-
lures, but that will accentuate its own
ugliness.
There is no doubt that there will be
plenty of amusement and instruction of
the Midway plaisance kind at the Cali
fornia exposition. Nearly all the Mid
way concessionnaires have signifed their
wish to go to San Francisco, and con-
tracts have been made with many of
them. Various notifications and i'm
proveneents of the plaisance exhibitions
have been suggested, but the most at
tractive features will all be transplant
ed, though in little different shape.
The Viennese, for instance, will dupli-
cate a section of their famous Prater.
The Cairo street and the Turkish viii
lage will probably be consolidated. The
japanese and Chinese will greatly i'm
prove on their Chicago performances
the latter especially having plan for
splendid building of Celestial architec-
ture There will be another Irish vii
lage, and the Javanese will have con-
cession.
Golden Gate park will be in its glory
during the exposition. The grass and
foliage are always green and luxuriant
there, but in the dry months of summer
they are only kept SO at an immense ex-
pense for irrigation. With the coming
of the rains, however, even the less i'm
proved portions of the park and the adj
jacent hills don coats of living green
and stay them up with flowers. Nor
need any one be afraid of the so called
rainy season. 1t does not mean per-
petual downpour. 1t is really tie pleas
ATTEST season of the year, for then the
days are balmy, and the nights are mere
ly cool, while there are none of the fogs
and winds that are somewhat annoying
in the summer. San Francisco is hap
PLY situated for the Midwinter exposi-
ton, and she will make great success

but the FIVE main structures, with their
| necessary auxiliaries, are all that the
committee viii be directly charged with
building and maintaining.
The Manufactures and Liberal Arts
building viii be the largest Of the five.
1t Is TO be $50 feet long and 200 feet
wide. The architecture is Of the Moor
ish school, with domed towers at the
corners and in the center Of the long
facade. There will be a handsome col
onnade all about the building, a great
deal Of ornamental work and pretty roof
gardens in the loggias of the towers.
The exterior will be creamy white IN
color, the material used in its construc-
ton being the familiar staff of Chicago,
while the roof will be of curved red
tiles. There will be a long arched sky
light in the roof, but the building viii
also be lighted from the sides.
The Mechanic Arts building will be a
large, picturesque and attractive struc-
ture, nearly as large as the Manufac-
lures building and only 80 feet mar
rover. The architecture is Mohammed-
an, with dubious domes and incurving
scalloped arches, very richly ornament
ed. The entrances are somewhat sug-
gestive Of the famous Tai Mahal, though
the ensemble is entirely different from
that famous mausoleum. The profuse
arabesque ornamentation will be done
in staff and painted, and for the time
the building IS TO be used will be quite
as effective as though carved in stone.
The Agricultural building Is of what
is called III California "old mission"

Moorish that was introduced in Califor-
MIA by the Franciscan padres when they
first possessed the land. The building is

be especially effective from an archi-
.ectural point of view.

of the best evidences that there

the backbone of revolution, and it
may be noticed that revolutions
rarely occur in the Central Amer
lean States or Haiti until the
coffee crop has been safely harvest

gathered their crops and paid their
taxes, there is money in the treas
