THE COUNTY ROADS.
HOW THE CHAIN-GANG Is I'M
PROVING THEM.
Supervisor Chandler Gives a Brief
Resume Of the Working of
the Gang.

the Gang.
Editor County Record:
have been thinking for some
thine that | would write il com.
munlcation to our valuable ooun.
ty paper and give some items OF
interest 10 its readers.
| have Travelled over good
deal Of the county and found
crops IN good condition, but very
spolty and irregular. Seasons
on crops this year have been very
favorable, and "Gen Green" hasn't
had much showing. From gener-
al appearance there will be good
crops made.
In regard to public roads, they
in general are fairin most sections.
Road working is the order of the
day. Most sections of roads have
had good deal of work done;
some, | am sorrv to say, have
had but little. and others none,
but think we will soon get more
done on all of our roads. / be-
Iieve The overseers all over the
county intend TO see what virture
there is in The chain gang. In
passing around over the county
as | come 10 section of road
that is being worked. I enquire Of
the overSeer how his hands turn
out and the reply comes: "When
the roll is called all answer but
one or two" The overseer in
forms The defaulter that if work
is not done by such time he will
be sent to the chain gang; that
is sufficient; the work is doLe.
In speaking of The chain-gang no
doubt it will cost something to
run it, but compare the cost to
the effect it has all over the coun-
ty. l don't think any one should
grumble. The cry wherever go
is: 1.-THE chain. gang; what good
effect it has, not only in regard to
road working; but It keeps many
from violating contracts, from
jumping debts, carrying conceal
ed weapons, fighting, or any vio-
lation of the law.' | am having
some fine work done with the
chain gang, and could do much
more if the people of the county
would back it up and not allow
so many cases made up for a mere
song. 1t is a violation of the lay
to compromise cases. l can hear
every week of some case coming
up before Mr.. $50 and So," aud
that is the last of it. What
becomes of the parties? Very few
come 10 the chain.gang. for one
don't want innocent parties put
in the gang, and have as much
human sympathy as the next man
but do think where the law is
violated the parties who violate it
should be punished. Now, l have
undertaken the working of the
chain-gang by request of a good
|
many citizens all over the county,
and without the help of the law
abiding people of the county it
will prove failure. Trying to
work the gang has given me a
great deal more to do than
would have had to do if | had
left it off. l could have left it
off, but wanting to discharge my
duty, have undertaken the
work, and all [ ask to make a
success of it is the backing-up OF
all law-abiding citizens.

capacity Of civil engineer, in setting up
some hydraulic machinery for Boston
mining concern.
"The Klondyke mines," said Mr.
Rice, Justify all that has been said of
them in point Of richness. These sud.
den accumulations have set everybody
on the coast wild, and should say that
fully O,0O0 men will make the effort to
get to Klondyke this fall. Puget Sound
has lost all it's laborers, and people of
all classes have joined in the rush, hav.
ing no idea of the terrible hardships
they will have to endure. Just as sure
as they get into Klondyke this winter
many Of them will starve, for not nearly
enough provisions can be taken in for
them.
"There are two big concerns which
practically control all the business in
the interior of Alaska, but they have
warned the people that they cannot feed
them if they come in this fall; they can
not haul in enough provisions of their
own and the freight stacked up at Sitka
now will take year to be transported
to the mines.
II was at Cooks inlet, about $50 miles
east of Klondyke, and that is the place
for miner to go-that is, unless too
many go there. He can make from S.
to $50 day at placer mining, and the
wages are from So to So a day and
board.

HOPELESSLY OUT OF DATE.

Sir Charles Tupper Comments on the
Colonial Federation Scheme.
LONDON, July 31.-The Daily News
publishes the report Of an interview
with Sir Charles Tupper, in which the
ex-Canadian premier said that the
French Canadian loyalty to Great Brit.
ain was largely due to the knowledge
that annexation of Canada to the United
States would result in the abolition Of
their laws, language and religion under
the Quebec act. Dilating on the bene.
fits of federation, Sir Charles said he re.
garded Sir Wilfred Laurier's plan for
the formation of great imperial par.
lament as hopelessly behind the times,
and impossible of success, because such
a body must include in its powers the
right of taxation for imperial purposes.
Therefore, its membership must be
framed somewhat upon population
basis. which would mean that in few
years the people Of the colonies would
utterly swamp the voice Of England
who would never submit thereto. Sec
ondly the colonies would never submit
to surrender of their autonomy, mol
would they hand over large part Of
their powers to body thousands o.
miles away.
"My idea," continued Sir Charles
"is that framed by the Ottawa confer
ence and afterwards supported BY
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, O
preferential trade within the empire.
"The Canadian ministry's course il
declining to be bound by the Belgian
and German treaties is little less than ;
declaration of independence. 1t ha
been clearly proved that the colonie
are bound by their treaties. Had Si
Wilfred Laurier offered England prefer
ential trade OH reciprocal terms afte
the denunciation of the treaties, be
ieve that England would have accepted
Atany rate, Sir Wilfred would hav
kept his pledges and have obtained
great kudos."
In conclusion, Sir Charles declared
that under a low tariff Canada nearl,
went into bankruptcy.

Japanese Vessels Did Not 'Dress Ship" on

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-There was
some comment here over statements
said to have been made in report to
the navy department by Admiral Nc
Nair commanding the flagship Olympia
at Yokohama, Japan, that not one Of
the numerous Japanese vessels in the
harbor dressed ship on the Fourth Of
July, although both British and a
French flagship observed the day by
duplicating every incident of the cele-
bration of the day by the Olympia. 1t
is asserted, in the same connection, that
this lack of courtesy to the American
national holiday was deliberate and
premeditated insult to the United
States by the japanese and that it had
the tacit assent of the Japanese govern.
ment. There is nothing in the report to
show that there were any japanese
ships of war in Yokohama on the occa.
sion referred to.

LONDON, July 3l.-John w. Foster, in
an interview before leaving London,
said:
"As to the Hawaiian question, may
say that in London, Paris, Berlin and
St. Petersburg, l have had ample op
portunity to ascertain the prevailing
sentiment on political and commercial.
circles. In all these capitals, annexa
is generally regarded as the natural, il
not inevitable result of the large growth
and expansion of the United States on
the western coasts of America.
''As it could not be expected" con
tinued Mr.. Foster, "that any other for
eign power would be permitted to oc
cupy the islands, owing to their STRAIT
egic importance, the proposed annexa
ton will be acquiesced in by the Euro
pean governments, although the position
which it would give the United States
in the Pacific would not be welcomed
by nations seeking supremacy in tha'
quarter of the world.
my personal views on this question
are well known in the United States
Nevertheless it is extremely gratifying
that the necessary expansion of the
United States will not be the cause O.

as the logical outcome Of American
destiny.
No Antagonism Apparent.
"Wherever have been, at St. Peters
burg, Berlin, Paris or here in London,
have been received in the most cordia
manner. Whatever may be the feeling
in the United States anent the often re
peated antagonism to our governmen
displayed by foreign powers, l hav
seen nothing Of it.
Everywhere l have had evidenc
that the foreign governments wish t
meet any questions raised by the Unite
States in the spirit Of the utmost frank
ness and openmindedness. Perhaps
is needless for me to say that this

Friend of Andree's Does Not Believe the

STOCKHOLM, July 31.-Dr. Ekholm,
who was associated with Herr Andree
in his projected balloon voyage last
year, writes to The Aftonbladet that he
declined to join in the present attempt
because the impermeability of the bal
loon was unsatisfactory. He says it
lost 81 cubic metres of gas daily from
the time of imitation. In his opinion
it would not float longer than from q
to "a days.
Inasmuch as the voyage, under ordi.
nary conditions of wind, would take at
least "a days, DR.. Ekholm believes An
dree will be remarkably fortunate if he
succeeds at all.

Formal Notice That the Difficulty With

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The japanese
government has accepted the offer
made by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute
between the two countries. The state
department has been informed of the
offer and the acceptance. The subject
of arbitration will include not ouly the
difficulty over the landing Of japanese
immigrants, but also will include other
disagreements between the two coun.
tries, the most important Of which is
the sake tax imposed upon japanese
liquor largely imported and consumed
by the Japanese in Hawaii.
