z. f. BUTLER, Of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July
23rd, says: "We all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and ration, but thanks
to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health; in
act. sincerely believe that at one crit
ical time this medicine was the indirect
saviour of our army, for if the packers
had been unable to work there would
have been no way on way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. Nv COM
rade and myself had the good fortune to
lay in supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa, and 7
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."

A Needed Road.
EDITOR LEADER

We have been called {
crank on roads and schools and ye
we cannot help saying that at pres
sent time there are some roads ir
Lincoln county that should be
opened and we have one in view
now that is practically the only
way large number. .of people have
to reach the county seat to do busi-
ness. One Of the great reasons
urged in dividing the county was
the great Inconvenience and ex-
pense of reaching Corvallis, the
county seat of Benton. At the
present time the people living on
the south side of the Bay are com
PEELED to reach the county seat by
way of Newport or Yaq uina at
great cost and loss of time, and, as
mcst OF these people are taxpayers,
we do not hesitate to say that the
county should aid these people in
securing an outlet.
Some four years ago a road was
surveyed fiom Toledo to road at
or near Beaver creek and consider
able work was subscribed by the
citizens of Toledo and also Wright
creek and later quite sum was
subscribed in money and labor by
the people OF Alsea and Beaver.
But the road has never been opened
and it is impossible for the people
living along this road to ever COM
plete it without county aid.
We remember that in building
the first road years ago from Pio-
neer to Toledo and Newport, had
ii not been for outside help we new
er could have obtained anything
more than a horse-trail. We be-
lieve on general principles that any
money donated by the county to
aid in opening public highways is,
after all, only loan to the people
ii, a good rate of interest, for the
increase of value arising there
from will readily repay the county
interest and principal in ten years.
We believe, therefore, that our
county should use a liberal policy
in the matter of county roads and
that policy should be to aid all the
people i'll constructing county roads
TO trade cen,ers. We urge the i'm
porlance of river transportation in
order to lower freights and compel
railroad companies to give the farm
els living rate, but we often over
look the fact that good roads mean
cheaper transportation for Our
farmers.
Our farmers have hay, potatoes,
apples and other poduce for market
and il is bad enough to have to use
four horses to haul 20 bushels OF
apples to market, but it is certainly
greater hardship to be compelled
to pack their produce TO market OH
horse or on their Own backs as we
have seen some of our worthy citi-
zens do in the past.
We know of one section of Lin
coin county where an outlay OF
$Ioo would open three townships
of government land for settlement
and at the same time afford an out
let for about fifty families who are
already building themselves homes
But to return 10 the question we
now have i'll view-the road from
Beaver creek to Toledo. The dis
tance from Alsea via Beaver creek
is but little greater than to va.
quina, and good road can be built
over the entire distance; in fact,

The new horseshoe is made of compressed pa- per; it requires no nails to secure it to the hoof, and, while lighter than the most fragile of racing plates, 1t is claimed to be nearly as durable as the solid iron shoes which have hitherto secured to horses im- nunity from the effects of constant travel ing over rough surfaces

One of the first advantages of paper shoes for horses is the decreased cost.

NOTHING ID FAT
 AT SANTIAGO The Spanish Troops Are in a Starving Condition Re concentrates Fed.

Playa Del Este, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July S.-6 D. m.-A Spanish soldier, terri bly, emaclated and so weak that he could hardly walk, was picked up by the gum boat Annapolis today at a point near the entrance to the upper bay. He had no rifle, for he was too weak to carry it. Ac- cording to his story there are n1anySpan- ish soldiers in Guantanamo in the same condition of starvation.
 He says there is absolutely nothing to eat there, but that the Spaniards are daily told that if they surrender to the Ameri- cans they are sure to be murdered.
 A captain and three privates from Bara- cao came into the bay today in a small sail boat and were picked up by the cruiser Marblehead They were ostensibly greatly surprised and claimed not to have known that the bay was in the possession of the Americans. They report a great scarcity of food at Baracao and that the Spanish troops there are in bad shape. Over 20,OOO rations for reconcentradoes have been land ed across the bay by Commander McCalla, of the Marblehead and the half starved Cubans are fioclking in from the hills for the food.

 A pretty omance is brought to light in the marriage of Miss Daisy Little and MT. William Zeigler of this city, at New Or leans ten days ago. The bride and groom had no seen each other since childhood, when they went to school together, and were pIaymates, unil they met on Mis- sissfppl steamer just a few days before their wedding. The old anecton was soon renewed and it was Daisy and '.Wille'' all the way down to the mouth of the Mississippi.
 Miss Little was divorced from her first husband, MT. Ellis a stepson of President Reifsnider of the Midland Book company. about two years ago. Since then she has resided with her widowed mother and her brclther-in-aw, MT. Frank H. Young, at the latters home, 1925 Delmar avenue. About ten days ago she decided to go on river excursions with her sister, Mrs. Thorwe- gan, wife of Capt. W. H. Thorwegan. It chanced to happen hat the boat they took was he steamer of which MT. zeigler is the clerk. The meeting of the former school macs was a delightful one, although no thought of love or matrfmony was in tho mind of either a the time. As the boat proceeded the way it soon became evil dent to Mrs. Thorwegan that Zieglers quondan playmate had more attraction for him than his clerical duies. All of his spare time was spent with her in recalling familiar scenes of childhood, the recollec- tions of which were gatifying to both. Soon the formal MT. Ziegler" and Miss Little" were displaced by more familiar and tender appellatives, and by the time the party landed ait New Orleans, much to the surprise of all although but few days had elapsed. the couple had it all arranged and the only thing was to send for the preacher.

THE LANGUAGE FOR MULES

An incident in the campaigns of Stone wall Jackson, as told by his corps. When Sharpsburg's bloody fight was OCT, Lee passed to the Virginia shore; And we, who bore the battles brunt, Were crossing, with train in front. The train had passed into the tide, Which recent rains made swift and wide; The army halted on the brink; The thirsty mules all stopped to drink. The ford was rocky, wide and deep; The mules were tired. and needed sleep; The wagons laden down with grain, To pull them through mighty strain. The day was hot; the water cools Those war-worn old Confederate mules, And when their drivers gin to nudge, Why, not a blessed mule will budge. The teamsters ply their whips and shout, But not a single team goes out A sight to see, that river then, Filled full of mules and shouts and men! Some wounded soldiers say their prayers; But every blessed teamster swears; The army gazes down appalled, At Stonewall Jackson's corps train-stalled. The men kept halted in the rear Grow tired, and seek the sause to hear; The answer comes, "Why, bless the luck! All Stonewall Jacksons mules have
 struck.''
 While some are vexed, and others laugh, Comes Jackson with the general staff, And orders to the trains relief His doughty quartermaster chief. This major, a Virginan old, Is loud of voice. in battle bold And every friend this tribute gives, Can outswear any man that lives. The major spurs into the tide; Up to the train we see him ride; He curses. storms, and swears as well, Raises, in short, a little hell.
 The teamsters, reassured join in They fill Potomac's vale with din: They shout, and yell, and swear-'tis true! Until the very air is blue.
 The teamsters swear the army cheers; And though one scarce can hear ones
 ears,
 High over every other noise Resounds the majors laundering voice. Mules understand him-it appears, For every mule bricks up his ears, And, while the drivers shout and roar, The train moves onward to the shore. Then as the major splashes out, The army greets him with a shout, And to the chief, who sits unhorsed. Reports he, "Sir, the train has crossed As Stonewall Jackson raised his head, "Thanks major for your helpr he said; "But General Orders No. Forbids all swearing in the corps! The dauntless major made reply, "Siri" None respects you more than l! But when our mules you would command, You must use words mules understand" The general staff sit round the while, And listen with a quiet smile; Slowly the army passes OCT, And Stonewan Jackson says no more.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all hoof troubles are caused by improper or careless shoeing.
