Roads Testimony From California,

We in California are now thoroughly
impressed with the fact that good roads
mean advanced civilization, better con-
ditions Of society, economic and better
living, ease Of transportation, saving Of
time-the most precious Of capital
and the broadening of the invitation to
live rural lives instead of focking into
cities and towns. We daily realize that
allth blessings that flow from firm, hui
name, smooth, rapid, well kept high
ways elsewhere will here, under our IA
voring skies and in our mild climate, be
greatly augmented. -Governor Mark
ham Of California

that the matter is at last receiving the

recognize that we can have them only
by work and by taxing ourselves for
them. New Orleans Times Democrat

u do their duty to their isolated brothers

and driyeling idiots: Because bad roads
prevented them from going TO good

cause bad roads kept them away from

Hurricane at Belmont.

We are indebted to Mr.. w. H..
Temby for notes Of the hurricane
that swept over the village of Bel
mont last Saturday. The storm
struck the place about 4:30 o'clock.
II consisted of a wind of hurricane
force, halls as large as walnuts, and
very heavy rain. Its course was
from the northwest to southeast and
apparently only few hundred yards
in width. Several buildings were
unroofed, but only such as were
covered with tin, shingles seemed
to resist the wind much better. The
St. Charles Hotel was the principle
building unroofed. The Belmont
Hotel suffered loss Of chimneys and
several windows broken in. All
the northside windows in the build
ing occupied by our informant, Mr..
Temby, were blown in, ana his fur
niture and other contents thoroughly
saturated with rain. Trees Uttered
the streets, and many barns and
other out buildings wrecked. There
was not half enough glass IN the
town to repair broxen windows.
The train from Platteyille to Gala
mine was delayed an hour by trees
and debris on the track. No loss Of
life occurred.
LAST Saturday morning L.
months old child Of James Mckin-
ley, of this city, fell while playing
with bottle in her hand, and the bot
tie breaking a pointed piece Of glass
penetrated the cbild's eye. "A ter
rlble wound was inflicted, = portion
Of the eye ball protruding, 80 that 2
surgical operation was necessary
Il is hoped the eye may be saved.
