A Difficult Task.

Workmen were busy yesterday rails
ing the G. 81. turntable. The engines
were first taken from the roundhouse
and lined along the track wherever
room could be found for them. They
were scattered slong the track for at
least half a mile and the ones which
needed repairing of some kind were
followed by the machinists and boiler
makers The men then turned their
attention to raising the table and in a
comparatively short time it was up t o
the level. Mr.. Ealand, who is bossing
the job, said yesterday hat he did not
think it would take them more than
two days to do the work, and have the
table ready for use.

jured Sunday morning. While
%chopping a piece of a board a portion

stated hat he was satisfied that the
sight would no be injured by the ac-
cident. Mr.. Stewart was delighted to

Blossoms "Two Married Men," winch
has just had such successful run in
Portland, will BE put on the boards at the
Acme opera house Tuesday evening, De-
cember 8. Speaking of this popular play
the Oregonan says:
"This was the first production in Port
land of Two Married Men,. OF the play
not much can be said exccp that it full
fills its authors promise, Just to make
you laugh. 1t has no plot to speak OF
and the idea of its construction seems to
have been taken froa one of the Rice
plays, only it has many more amusing
scenes. Some OF the situations are studied,
and in their portrayal the art OF acting
suffered somewhat, but their funny fea-
tnres redeemed them, and they were
received with applause"

State Aid for Roads.

The state OF Minnesota is about to
adopt the system of setting aside certain
per cent of the entire state taxes for the
maintenance of public roads. The U. s.
department of agriculture has endorsed
the system proposed and published the
address of Mr.. Choate on the subject, in
circular form.
After years OF agitation and condemna-
ton of the farmers for failure to build good
country roads, the agitators have djSeoV-
cred that they have been trying to work
an injustice upon the farmers. The mis-
take was not in demanding good roads,
but in asking the farmers to build good
country roads without taxing city prop
erty to help pay for them. More than
one-haf OF the taxable property in most
states is in the cities and in some of the
older states like New York the farmers
pay only one-seventh of the taxes.
Business men III towns and cities have
learned that it is to their interest to have
tier roads As result the idea has
occurred to some that, since the whole
state is interested IN the improvement Of
all the roads, it would only be fair that
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1898-11-24

certain per cent OF the entire state taxes
should be devoted to the improvement of
the roads.
By an amendment to the constitution
in New Jersey few years ago, that state
established state road and bridge sund
and provided ior Il state highway commis-
sion whose members serve without COM
pensation. They have general supervision
of the expenditure of the state road and
bridge fund. This amendment does not
contemplate that the state shall actually
construct any wagon roads but that it
shall contribute not to exceed one-third
of the cost of any road and the balance
to be paid by the locality where the road
is built.
1t would be we'll for the members OF she
legislature OF Oregon, Idaho and Wash
ingtod to investigate this system thor
oughly. II any amendments to the con
stitution is required for its operation,
prepare such to be voted on next yeay.
Levying tax equal to onetwentieth
OF one mill, and applying that to country
roads, involves the same principle as that
upon which state contributes to the
support OF the country schools. 1t is
equally fair and the method should be put
into practice in each OF the Pacific north
west states at as early date as possible
Northwest Horticulturist.

There are some queer things in railway

LUMHERING NOTES.

From West Coast and Puget Sound Lumberman.
The Canadians estimate that twenty
five million feet of lumber will be shipped
in 1898 from the United States into that
country, and argue from this the need OF
a tariff to protect Canadian lumbermen.
The Northwestern Lumberman says
that ''if the red cedar shinge business
hereafter proves to be improbable it will
be because it is not properly conducted.
That is true of about everything on earth.
1t is not generally known that not only
black walnut but English walnut grows
and thrives along this coast in Oregon
and Washington. Trees that have been
set out show rapid and healthy growth.
The worlds supply OF timber bids fair
to last some years yet. 1t is stated that
in the Province of Archangel in Russia
there are forests belonging to the govern
ment which cover SS,979,40 acres in
which the ring Of the woodsman's AK has
scarcely yet been heard.
The secretary OF the treasury has noti
fed the Chamber Of Commerce OF San
Francisco that there is nothing in the
statutes by which rafting logs and lumber
in the ocean can be stopped. One act
has provision that might be invoked to
stop the building of such RATS AS being
distractions.
The labor commissioner Tor the State Of
Washington has recently made IL report
OF wages paid l.. the mills Of Washing
ton lie says that taking twenty-five
mills he found the following average of
prices: Sawvers S320la, iiers $2.S715,
engineers $2.O71a, ordinary mill hand
$l.52. The above based on ten hours a
day.
Fault is often found and rebates claimed
by reason OF the varying lengths OF shin
giles turned ont from some mills. Hyatt,
Bryan & Co. OF Bryant, Wash, have put
up a simple device that cuts the blocks
to an exact length. 1t is simply pair Of
saws TO inches apart. Inc carrier brings
Shingles cannot be manufactured at pres
ent prices without loss save by very
few favoraby located mills. An attempt
has been made to cut wages in some To-
calites SO that The mills could continue
to run OH the prevailing market. Ii this
is accomplished it simply means more
cheap shingles. Ii the mills will remain
closed for sixty days prices will advance
and profitable spring trade can conf
IDENTIFY be anticipated. Some OF the com
bined lumber and single mills have
agreed to ship only mixed cars and re.
duce their output to the lowest possible
point. The movement deserves the sup
port of all who have the good OF tn,
shingle trade at heart.

There is also the programmes white

1t is understood that ordinarily when
members of the royal family visit the
theater they are incognito, and unless
the orchestra strikes up the national

are not aware of their presence. If
the anthem is played it is a sign that
the visit is a formal one and the
audience rises as a mark of respect.

How to Cure a Balky Horse.

For the benefit of those who have
been caused great deal of anxiety by
a balky horse, lost trains, as we'll as
their tcmpers, and even sometimes
ruined the horse, the next time they
have the experience or should run
across balky horse, no matter how
bad he is, let me tell him how to start
him ninety-nine times out of hun
dred. Of course, it may fail one time
in a hundred. When a horse balks,
no matter how badly he sulks or how
ugly he is, do not beat him, don't
throw sand in his ears, don't use a
rope on the front legs, or even burn
straw under him. Quietly 60 out and
pat him on the head a moment, take
hammer or even pick up stone in
the street, tell the driver to sit STILL
take his lines, hold them quietly while
you lift up either front foot, give each
nail light tap and a good smart tap
on the frog. Drop his foot quickly
and then chirp to him to go. In
ninety-nine cases out of hundred the
horse will so right along about his
business, but the driver must keep
his lines taut and not pull or jerk him
back. If have tried this once, !
have tried it five hundred times, and
every time ! have suggested it people
have laughed and even bet five dollar.
and bottles of wine. So far l have
won every bet. This may make you
smile, but horse has more common
sense than most people are willing to
give him credit for. The secret OF
this little trick is simply diversion
l am a firm believer that with kind
ness, proper care and treatment a
horse could be driven with a string

1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others

cause it did meet those require
