any argue that be who easily forget

BOOMING FOR '9S.
Rival Cities Pushing Their Claims as

With the iong-continued question as to
whether or not the railroad companies
would make rate sufficiently low to al
low the c. E. convention of lS9. to be
held in san Francisco. virtually selected,
tie absorbing topic of interest is where the

There is still possibility, not amount
in;s 10 probability. that San Francisco is
no nearer the convention than when that
CITY was first selected three years ago,
int rates are not absolutely uetermIned
Dpon. but an understanding las been
reached which satisfied the urus lee
sufficiently to cause them to announce
next year convention for that place.
As soon as san Francesca was again de-
terInIncd upon the Utah delegates com
menced Il wholesale distribution OF an at
tractivc pamphlet, setting forth with ap-
propriaIe ensravinSs. the beauties, curl
Osties, and historical features of Ogden
anu salt Lake city. together with letters
OF wc,COme from the Governor of the
State. and Salt Lake Chamber of Com
merce. requesting the delegates to stop
for a day or two en- route To the coast.
At each convention the place for meeting
is selected two years in auvaDce, hence
that for 1898 will be named by tie trus-
tees before the Washington Convention ad-

AS TO GOOD ROADS.

The American Wheellnau feels hurt be-
cause the Republican national conven-
tion failed to put good roads,
plank iu it's platform. The Democratic
convention has done no better. and Cor tie
very excellent reason that the general
government has nothing TO do with build
ing county roads or any other save military
in case of war or in other exceptional
cases. That is tie business of the S,1;es,
and against these the American WheelInan
should turn its wrath aud wrestle with
them even unto the consumma ton of its
desire. The government can and does
help in the matter through the publications
and advice of the road bureau of the De-
partment of Agriculture. but further than
this it cannot go under any authority con-
fer;ed upon il by the Coustit ution-
Nevertheless good roads are not only a
necessity but benefit, the value of which
can be demonstrated in dollars and cents.
Every farmer knows that there is less wear
and tear on his teams and wagons when
he bauls his produce to the railway station
