complete in this respect. 30 complete
that many lawyers keep up no privat
libraries TO speak Of The next leglsla
ture should see to 1t that the appropria

The Sacramento Bee is one Of the
few coast dailles that makes regular
feature of current poetry and admission
TO It's columns is evidence of certain
degree of merit or originality. Its

untamed west.

Ifanyons thinks the Good Roads
movement Is not progressing let him
open his eyes on the finely illustrated
pages OF the monthly by that name,
Sterling Elliott. editor, IL Pearl street,
Boston. The man on the bicycle seems

of bad roads, and lovers OF the former
and foes Of the latter can find no hnel
source OF inspiration or fount OF en-
thnslasm than this finest Of all ten
oent magazines Affords.
