The question OF county roads In Clat-
sop is attracting no little attention dur
ing the present time. II Is almost
impossible for teams to go i've miles
out OF the city IN any direction. and
II is equally difficult for farmers 10
come to town with even half load
Of produce, II is plainly evident to
the most conservative that before Clat-
sop county and other sections OF the
state OF Oregon can hope 90 develop
even small part OF their natural re-
sources there must be good roads and
bridges. and these roads must be con-
structed upon regularly formed plans
and In scientific manner. Haphnz-
zard work must stop. l; is only money
thrown away. In the long run IL would
be much cheaper to put up solid roads
upon a foundation which will stand
the test OF time, although the first cost
may be comparatively high These
by a gentleman recently from the East
and who has had experience In road
building and knows whereof he speaks.
Even II the population Of this county
Is small. and the ranches 10 be- served
by certain roads and bridges are few
and far between. yet Ia safe to say
that the money expended in building
these bridges and roads will be more
than repaid to the county In a few
short years by the increased population
attracted here by these same roads and
bridges

Started.
Since the Apache chief Geronimo has
teen taught habits and manners Of bis
white brethren at the Indian prison and
school in Alabama there has been no red
skin who has had SO much attention as
Apache Kid. For some six years he has
made sanguinary history along the Rio
Grande and the Mexican border. A recent
report by the war department at Washing
ton shows that the depredations of this
unique savage outlaw have cost Uncle
Sam altogether over 5000 and that
troops in President Diaz's government
across the border have been harassed by
the Kid since 1893, when he became q
more permanent dweller in the republic of
Mexico. At different times there have
been as many as 400 trained soldiers of the
plains, both on the American and the
Mexican sides of the Rio Grande, in search
OF the Apache Kid, while military scouts
and United States marshals and govern
ment police officers by the score have la
bored and schemed long and vainly fol
the arrest Of the Indian and the attain
ment Of the prize of &c, 900 offered for the
taking Of the outlaw.
There has been q good deal writer
about Apache Kid that Is not true. The
stories that have many believers are wild
