GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
With Proper Drainage Good
Roads are Easily Had.

"The great secret Of success in
road making and bookkeeping is
to drain the roads, and keep the
roads drained by keeping the
bitches open, writes John Gilmer
Speed on GLOW to Have Good
Country Roads" in the August
Ladies Home Journal. "The old
method was 70 run a pillow through
the side bitches and Tn row the dis
turbed soil, sod and all, in the
middle Of the road. There il will
stay till a heavy rain came to wash
this soil back into the bitches and
fill them up again. If there were
money enough this kind Of thing
would be done over and over
again, a. often az four times in a
year. Where there were wet spots
broken stone or gravel would be
placed in the road and left for the
passing wagons to wear this metal
into ruts. The money spent was
absolutely thrown away
"By the new process all the
road-mender needs to do is to pro.
vide bitches and outlets for them,
and then so shape the road that
the water falling in a rainstorm
will run of at once into the bitches.
The water must not be suffered to
run in the road, but of the road.
The rainfall, being thus simply
and effectively disposed Of, be-
comes a most beneficial instead of
a destructive agent; it cleans, and
shapes, and hardens the roadway,
instead Of washing it away and
deepening the ruts. When there
are wet places, such a. springs, IN
the road way, gravel and broken
stone will not cure such things.
The water must be drained off un-
dernea,h the roadway and into the
bitches by means of pipe or blind
drains. The whole thing is so
simple that any one can easily
master the principles and put the
details into practical operation"

took i'm Fine Condition.

Bismarck, n. D.-Stockmen are jubi-
liant at the prospect Of an open winter,
and the losses Of last winter promise
to be recuperated by the gains Of this
season. Dugald Campbell, president
of the State Wool Growers associa-
ton and owner of about 10000 sheep,
states that at his home ranch so far
this winter there has been no necessity
for feeding sheep, they having been
able to find plenty Of sustenance on
the ranges. Last year Campbell had
fed hundreds of tons of hay before
the winter was half-through. Other
stockmen report the same experience,
and there will be a surplus of feed re-
naming in the hands OF cattlemen and
sheep owners next spring. Reports
from the ranges in the western portion
of the state are that the ground is
clear of snow and stock is able to find
plenty Of feed. The range this fall was
graZed down close, and had there
been severe winter thousands Of cat
tie would have persisted from starya-
ton. Under the present conditions the
cattlemen hope to pull through with
out any heavy losses.

Road Laws Defective.

Lisbon, N. D.-Among other thought
less things done by the last legislature
of North Dakota was tampering with
the road laws. While the procedure in
laying out and changing public roads
in organized civil townships was more
clearly set forth and perhaps made
more effective the old county road
laws We're repealed, and no new pro-
vision made pertaining thereto, con-
sequently North Dakota to-day has no
means of establishing or changing
county roads, and as but very few OF
the townships are organized as civil
subdivisions, outside of few counties
the county commissioners are unable
to legally do thing in such matters,
and. as q consequence, county roads
all over the state are, and must re-
main until the meeting of the next leg
islature, in statu quo.

CAUGHT 'EM AGAIN.
The NIOorhead Railway Robbers I'm
der Arrest This Time,

Fargo, N. d. Officials feel reason
ably sure they are at last on the track
of the bandits who held up the North
ern Pacific Passenger train near Moor
head last October. For. the last two
months members Of the local police
force have been at work on the mat
ter, and finally succeeded in locating
one of the men. He was induced to
return to Fargo last Wednesday under
the supposltion that he was to meet
one Of his pals. While here he was
kept under surveillance till Friday
night when he was induced to go to
Moorhead. He was placed under ar
rest there and taken at once to St.
Paul by Chief Detective Newton and
Detective McFetridge, Of the Northern
Pacific. They had been notified to
come here by the local officer who had
worked up the case.
The man under arrest had been here
some time before the train was held
up and worked in Il hotel here as a
blind. He familiarized himself with
tie situation and made all arrange
ments for the robbery. He engaged
some local talent to participate in the
affair but the latter weakened before
the hold-up occurred. The prisoner is
now in Jail in st. Paul, and is said to
have made a complete confession inn
plicating all who were in the affair.

New York, Jan. IA correspondent
of the Herald has returned to Ha-
yana after having visited the camp Of
Gen. Gomez. The correspondent asked
Gen. Gomez for his opinion as to
American Intervention and the annex
alton Of Cuba to the United States. He
replied that Intervention does not nee
essarily imply annexation.
Il would gladly accept the former as
I would accept aid from any quarter,
although l believe if left alone we will
achieve our independence unaided. and
l am loath that we should be robbed
Of any share in the honor of the eX-
pulsion of the Spaniards.
'4As far as annexation is concerned,
cannot admit it's possibility. TO that
proposition l make the same reply as
| do to the autonomy plan-that our
object is independence. We have
among us young men who have sac
rificcd everything to this sacred
cause. For myself, l am an old man,
who now has but one object in life,
and that is to see the flag of Cuba SUI
prcme from Cape A1aysi to San An
tonic. We have already made fearful
sacrifices. and we stand ready to make
more in order to achieve this glorious
end. know that the people of the
United States will never balk us in
this. our hour of victory
The idea of arbitrary annexation Of
this territory is inconsistent with the
principles on which the American re-
public is formed. If in the future, af-
ter Cuba has won her freedom, and it
is demonstrated that she is capable Of
government. it became apparent
that her interests would be advanced
by incorporation into the United
States, l would be the last to object
it an application should be made for
the honor of admission to the great
sisterhood of states. That is a very
different thing from annexation"
Asked what his views We're on an
American protectorate over Cuba,
Gen. Gomez replied that he had no OBJ
lection. believing it would carry q
guarantee of peace at home, with re-
spect Of all nations, and would per-
nit Cuba to work out her destiny I'M
der the most favorable conditions. In
return he believes that Cuba should.
in her commerce, favor the United
States above all nations.

INVOLVEMENT WITNESS.
So Alleged Wheat Thieves Attcmp
to Poison Him to Death.


to Poison Him to Death.
Cavalier, N. D.-Alfred Rude, the
principal witness for the state in the
Burns wheat stealing case, came near
losing his life as the result of drinking
doped whisky. The doctors worked
with him all night, and until morning
there was little hope for his recovery,
and had it not been that he had taken
an overdose of the poison, nothing
could have saved his life.
1t is suspected that the poison was
sent to Rude by parties vitality inter
ested in the case in question. His evil
dcnce is expected to be especially dam
aging to the defendant. He is the boy
who was dumped on the prairie by the
hearing that he was told to keep quiet
as possible, and stated afterward that
he could have told a great deal more
had he been given an opportunity.
This incident will cut an important
figure i'll the trial.
Rude made the statement When he
thought he was dying that he was
given the whisky by Harry Ferguson,
who occupied the cell with him in the
county Jail at Langdon. Who gave ii
to Ferguson has not been ascertained.

CITIZENS OF PLUCK.
Grand Forks Public Spirited Men
May Rebuild the Dncotah.

NAAy 1CSOu11O tnC DOCOt0n.
Grand Forks, N. D.-Now that the
work Of removing the debris from the
burned blocks has been commenced,
the question of rebuilding is upper
most. 1t is imperative that new no.
tel be erected to take the place of the
Dacotah, a score or more commercial
men being compelled to go to Crooks
ton and Fargo for over-Sunday ac-
commodations.
All the property is owned by the Sc
curlty Trust company, which is now
IN the hands Of a receiver. That this
company will not rebuild is settled.
Mayor Dime has made an offer of
100000 brick tward a new hotel, and
if no one can be found willing to erect
a suitable building as an investment
the work will be taken up by leading
citizens and a hotel built in the same
manner as was the Dacotah. There is
much opposition to Il tive-story hotel.
however, and a new one will proba-
bly, not be over three stories, but ar
ranged in such a manner as to afford
as much room as did the burned build
ing. The hotel property brought in Il
rental of about 5000 per month, and
it would appear that that would be a
good investment for some one.
Workmen have been engaged in
cleaning out the debris from the Nash
block. under which the remains of Mr..
and Mrs. A. G. Howe are expected to
be found. Committees from the G. A.
r. and Masonic bodies have charge of
the work. Every house in the city is
filled with tenants and many are be-
ing cared for by friends.

Result OF an Eastern Mans Visit to

Lisbon, N. D.-Willet Bronson, a
well known attorney of New York city,
having the management Of large real
estate interests in the Red River val
ley In Minnesota, also in Ransom and
;Stutsman counties in North Dakota
and in Great Falls, Mont, has just
been on a tour of inspection in the
Northwest, and goes home highly
pleased with the bright prospects in
store for land investors and farmers in
the Northwest. Said he: "When left
New York a few weeks since felt
quite gloomy over the outlook in Min
nesota and North Dakota, fearing that
the reports of poor crops would have Il
disastrous effect upon every one con-
cerned, but I had no sooner entered
the bright and thriving city Of st. Paul
and talked with few representative
conservative business men, than 1 real
roneous and that had evidently bor-
rcwed trouble. AS pursued my in
vestigations they became more ap-
parent, and that, although the shortage
of crops in many locations was quite
trying to those Immediately affected,
still think there is O great future be-
fore the whole Northwest, and the
farming interests especially, and I go
back with frightened hopes and great
expectations.
Referring to Ransom county, N. D.,
Mr.. Brown said: "You have splendid
soil, and While not so heavy on mois-
tire, perhaps, as the Red River valley.
still for diversified farming it cannot
lie beaten. l was particularly struck
with the abundance of wild prairie
heritage and the splendid condition of
the stock grazing thereon. Conditions
to-day are brighter by far in Mime
sofa and Dakota than in the agricul-
tural districts in the Eastern states.
The Northwest is all right"

Herald from Washington says: Sal
vador is threatened with another revo-

the navy department. upon the request
Of the state department, has tele-
graphed orders to the gunboat Mariet-
ia, which is at Mare Island, directing
her to proceed as soon as possible to
La Libertad and remain until further
orders.
The Importance of this action will be
appreciated when it is understood that
the Marietta was being fitted for SER
vice in Chinese waters. The intorma-
ton upon which the state department
acted came from John Jenkins consul
at San Salvador. who cabled: ''rhe
condition of affairs in Salvador is
alarming: send warship."
The distance to La Libertad is about
$500 miles, and it will be covered in
two weeks. The instructions to Com
mander Symonds require him, upon
arrival at La Libcrtal, to commune
cate with Mr.. Jenkins, and to take all
measures possible for the protection OF
American interests.
Mail advices from Salvador have in
dicated that trouble was brewing.
The EZcta faction, which was ousted
in the revolution of two years ago, has
never rested, and repeatedly cXpedi-
lions have been alleged to be forming
i'll this country with Il view of pro-
ceeding to Salvador and Wrestling the
| administration from Gen. Gutierrez.
| Gen. Gutierrez has faced considerable
grumbling among his political follow
ers, and it is said one potent cause of
