The new county commissioners cannot
expend their time to better advantage
than in close and conservative figuring
on the Improvement of county roads,
While Yakima is not in condition to ex-
pend much money in this direction, or in
any other for that matter, still all that
can well be spared should be used in the
improvement of the public thoroughfares

Good country roads not only tend to
increase the revenues of farmers but have
a tendency to draw in settlers, decrease
the size OF farms, induce closer cultivs-

intelligence and neighborly feeling go
hand in hand. Some man has figured
out that on a sandy road horse can drag
twice as great load as he can carry on
his back. On a fair dirt road he can drag

Lived Thirty Days On MIX.

He wanted to establish the fact that
persons convalescing from sickness may
grow stronger with no other nutriment
than sweet milk, and that they are not
Obliged to take something solid" to eat,
a. 30 many people imagine. He holds
that many convalescent has gone into
the grave as result of overtaxing his
weak stomach by putting "solid" food
into it, and he maintains that the old be-
lief as to bread being the first essential of
human life is shown by his experiment to
be erroneous.
His test was to live 30 days with only
sweet milk as norrishment. In the
whole time he lost five and a half pounds
in weight, but no strength. He even
attributes the loss OF weight TO the
warmth of the weather and to excessive
exercise on the bicycle, and the daily
manipulation of Is pound dumbbells and
other heavy weights. He took more ex'
ercise than usual in order to test the
thing fairly. On the seventh day OF the
experiment he ran several fast races in a
skilful manner, but was beaten in each
race.
On the Both day he again pitted him
self against the same runner and got the
best of his opponent, which certainly
would tend to confirm his statement that
he lost no strength during the 30 days

for the last week. lie thinks a healthy
person should take about five pints of
milk daily when no other food is being
taken. His practice was to drink milk
at intervals for two hours during the day,
commencing at O'Clock in the morning
and continuing until 20 at night. After
that he would take no more until the
next morning.

FallaCies AbOt.- Nebtors.

Baltimore Sun: One of the many h,-
sertions popularity believed, and yet not
true. is that the most heavily indebted
parts Of the country are the West and
South. We hear constantly Of those
Western and Southern farm mortgages,
but they are not drop in the bucket
compared with the mortgages that rest
on the factories and homes of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New
England.
This Is one of the fallacies that has
long done duty in the discussion OF the
money questio n-the assumption that all
the debtors and the West and South and
all the cash and the creditors in the East
and North. There is, in truth, no geo
graphic dividing line debtors aud credi-
tors, and when it comes to an actull
count of noses on the subject there are
more debts and d, btors in the so-callt d
creditor sections Of the country than IN
the so.called debtor section. In New
York city alone there are more mortgage
debt and debtors than in half a dozen
states Of the Union. The latest availe-
BILE census returns shows that the mort
gage debts Oh farms and homes in New
York state amount 10 more than double
those on all the Southern states from
Maryland to Texas, although the popu-
lation OF the latter is four times as great
as that of the Empire state. The mort.
gage Indebtedness Of New York exceeds
by $50, 900 900 that Of all the states aud
territories west Of the Missouri river.
The four typical Northern and Eastern
states commonly spoken Of as the credi.
tor states New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and New Jersey--owe
more than $50 ,0O0,0 900 OF mortgage debts
in excess OF the similar debts owed by
the seven central states OF Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Iowa.
There are six states in which the mort
gage Indebtedness of the people is above
sl00, 900, 000-namely, New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and Masss-
cbusetts. These six states contain only
one-third Of the total population of the
United States, but their people owe more
than one-hslf Of the grand total of all the
mortgage debts Of the country. The
Southern states all added together, with
a population Of 22,000,O0O have total
mortgage Indebtedness of sl7l 1000
The single state of Illinois, with only
one-tifth of the population, owes sl77,-

Purdy Flint lost nothing OF the kind.
He is a chronic pessimist and prophet Of
evil. Two years ago he avowed he would
not have fruit enough to supply his own
household yet that season he shipped
IL 900 boxes. There has hardly been a
winter in the past ten years that the cry
has not gone up that the fruit Was either
badly damaged or entirely killed aud this
has been no exception. While there has
undoubtedly been considerable damage
to certain tender varieties Of fruit the in
dications are, that with the increased
acreage, Yakima will ship fully az mach

mitted by A. A. Hurd, general attor-
ney of the Santa Fe, for conference in
the near future between the board and
representatives of the several railroads
doing business in Kansas to consider
the question of freight rates Mr.. Hurd's
proposition was similar to that proposed
by b. p Waggener, of the Missouri Pa
cific, at the Chicago meeting last week.
Mr.. Hurds idea was for the board to
set time for an examination into the
rate question, the railroads to come in
with their managers, attorneys and
freight men and have the whole sub
iect discussed thoroughly. The rail
road men would concede the board the
right to establish schedule of rates
under the present law and agree not to
raise any legal questions which might
be involved, except in regard to the
reasonableness of the rates 80 estab-

OMAHA, Neb., March 31.--During the
past six months an alleged airs'lip has
been observed floating in the heavens
in different sections of this state. For
the past three nights it has been seen
lowering over Omaha. The unusual
occurrence has created much comment,
which has crystallized in the opinion
that an inventor of real airship has
been testing his machine in Nebraska
preparatory to placing it before the
public. The indications are that John
0. Preast, OF this county, is the author
of this mysterious machine, although
he refuses to say anything aboutit. He
has consumed the past ten years in
working ON airships and some time
since he told several persons that he.
would surprise the world with work
ing model in 1897.
Bright Crop Prospects.

oyer their fields this spring to destroy
chinch bugs and with apparently bene-
fetal results.

NEWTON, Kan, March 31.-Reports
of a violent windstorm which at some
places gave unmistakable evidence of
being cyclonic, and which passed over
this and surrounding counties yester-
day, have been received here since six
o'clock yesterday evening. Telegraph
wires have been blown down in all
directions and it has been very diff
cult to secure authentic information
from many of the points. Summing
up the various reports, however, there
is reason to think that thousands of
dollars worth of property has been de-
stroyed. There are no definite reports
as yet as to fatalities at any of the
places in the storm district. The
storm seems to have accomplished the
most damage at Florence, where the
Santa Fe roundhouse was almost de-
molished and other buildings wrecked.
