Tourists are coming very sparsely
here this season and it seems to your
correspondent that it is time that the
roads are put in condition SO as to be
fit to travel. There should be more
done to improve the roads than merely
to have each middle aged man in the
district work one day in the year.
Wherever the country is thinly settled
it is impossible to keep the roads in
proper condition by half dozen days
labor. In this district nothing has
been done on the roads for the taxes
that have been paid on improved prop
erty. 1t is in Hot Springs favor to
keep the roads in good shape, no mat
ter i'll what direction, in order that the
tourists may have pleasant drives, and
there is hardly a better drive from
Hot Springs than to Cascade, if only
roads were kept in better condition.

editor does not seem to like it because

it best to "import" some teachers for

why don't he say something about I'M
porting city assessor? There are
plenty of idle men here who are we'll
qualified to do that Worthwhile not

MYoPIA, or nearslgnledness. Usual
cause, diameter of eyeball too long. 1t
may be due to error of refractlon or
diseased condition, and may be either
congenital or acquired. Fifteen per
cent of school children in the higher
grades have it.
Symptoms-Prominent eyes and large
pupils. Distant vision improved by
squirting. Vision for distant objects
poor. Vision good at very close point,
progressive in early life. Handwriting
is small. Persons with this difficulty
see perfectly when objects are held near
the eyes, but distant objects are dim
and often invisible. For instance. a
person may be able to read perfectly
and yet be unable to see the time on a
large dial a few feet distant. Near
sighted children often injure their eyes
endeavoring to see during blackboard
exercises. 1t is the duty of q teacher to
report all such cases to parents and to
see that the child is fitted with specta-
cles. Great care should be taken i'll the
selection of glasses for the nearsighted,
as too strong glasses cause progressive
myopia, which is not unlikely to termin-
ate in blindness.

C.v.n.ueh Pays the Penalty.

Isador Cavanagh, alias Brown, was
hung at Deadwood Wednesday morn
ing for the murder of Mrs. Emma
Stone on the 14th of May last. It will
be remembered that on the night of
that day, Cavanaugh, who had lost
considerable money at the faro table,
entered the private apartments of Mrs.
Stone, cut her head open and robbed
her of money in the house, with which
he resumed his play; his subsequent
arrest, confession and sentence. Upon
the scaffold he confessed again and
made a speech to those about him,
among whom was the husband of the
murdered woman, imploring forgive
ness. He professed repentance and
said he was sorry he had committed
the crime for which he was paying the
penalty. Sheriff Plunkett pulled the
lever which let the drop fall, at 1921 in
the presence of 1000 spectators, and it
was 23lls minutes before life was de-
clared by the physicians to be extinct,
the condemned man dying by strangu-
lation, as his neck was not broken.
The Independent displayed Il stroke of
newspaper enterprise upon the occa-
sion by publishing history of the
crime, illustrated with cuts of the mur-
dered woman and her slayer.

tome Interesting Facts Concerning That
Most Delicate Organ.
A recent number of the World Herald
contained an interview Of q reporter for
shat paper with DIR. w. l. Seymour. the
leading optician Of Omaha. Believing
1t will interest many Of our readers we
print below part of the article.
DIR. Seymour said: ut is estimated
that seven out Of every 10 people have
some defect of this intelligent speaking
organ (the eye), and that it is often
brought about by ignorance and misuse.
I believe that many people who have
defective sight are entirely ignorant of
the nature of their trouble, even though
they may be wearing glasses, and / SUBJ
init the following which may be of in
terest to people who may be familiar
with the terms nearsightedness, far
sightedness. etc, ,-but VITO have not the
slightest idea what the conditions are
which produce these troubles.

HYPERMETRoPlA, or farsightedness
Error OF refraction. Diameter Of eye
ball too short. This is the most COM
mon cause and is congenital. Flattened
condition of cornea.
mptoms.-Distant vision may, or
may not be poor. Fine print cannot be
read; letters run together. Small eye.
Pupil small. Pain in eyeball. Looking
cross-eyed. Squirting while reading.
If a parent is troubled with hyperme-
tropia their children are more than
likely to inherit the same, and for this
reason thousands of children are born
with defective eyes. These cannot use
spectacles too early.
ASTIGMATIsM is one of the most COM
plicated troubles that the human eye is
heir to. Fifty years ago it was thought
that about one in u thousand was
afflicted with it, but at the present it is
known that one i'll every ten is affected,
while many Especially among chill
dren) are unable to read word, except
with one eye. in consequence of this
disease. Persons who read perfectly
with one eye do not miss the other until
over-use or accident disables the sound
one. Every man, woman or child
should try each eye separately to see if
they can read equally well with both
Compound difficulties often exist at the
same time.
For example, one part of an eye may
be nearsighted, while another part Of
the same eye may be farsighted, or the
image impressed upon the retina may be
ill-defined. It requires a skillful opti-
clan to detect the nature of these diff
culties and to select and combine lenses
that will overcome them"

Eyesirht, Good and Bad.

Omaha Bee: There are few subjects
of more general interest, and none in
respect of which more knowledge would
be of greater advantage to people in gen.
eral, than the human eye. Vision is
very properly described as the most
precious of our senses, and its loss is con-
sidered one of the most serious aff1ic-
tions that can befall mankind. 1t is
only of late years that the causes of GER
tain deficiencies in sight have been made
known, and the most erroneous state
ments are still made and believed re-
garding them. Even intelligent peo.
pie may be excused if they have not yet
become acquainted with the new discov-
cries. which are comparatively recent,
in the making and scientific fitting of
glasses. But we shall have no excuse to
offer in their behalf if they do not avail
themselves Of the means placed at their
disposal for acquiring the knowledge of
the nature of troublesome defects of
sight, and of learning how simple, in
the great number of cases, they can be
cured or assisted by the scientific ad-
justment OF perfectly made lenses.
1t is, Of course, always advisable to
refrain from abusing our eyes; but
when, at length, owing to advanced
years or other causes. the aid of glasses
has become necessary, it is Of the great.
est Importance that care and discrimina-
ton should be used in having them
properly fitted. A striking example Of
this is illustrated in the treatment to
which children are often subjected
through ignorance on the subject. It
Is no uncommon thing in our schools to
see scholars punished for dullness or stu
pidity. and the existence of defective
sight is about the last thing that sug.
gests itself to the sell. sufficient mind Of
the ordinary teacher. w. I. SEYMOUR.

try is laid down in blue, the trails and
roads are shown, the railways plainly
indicated, the names of important
towns printed in large black letters,
and the topography is represented in
brown. As far as the ore deposits are
known they are indicated in general
way by red lettering.
The country shown upon the map
includes particularly, the Slocan, Koo-
tenai lake, Cariboo creek, Deer Park,
Nelson, Salmon river, Trail or Rossland
and the Boundary creek regions. It
shows the Arrow lakes and the Lar
deau country and some portions of the
