There is not State In the Union
which has not done more good road
work In the past five years than it
ever did before IN an equal period of
time. Some OF them have done ten

that the annual loss frota bad roads in
Jefferson County, Kentucky. IN which
Louisville Is situated. Is fully 81 an

FASHIONS FANCIES.

We're in luck to have one suit
Some wear more than they can pay
for.
Satin striped zepher goods are very
dainty and attractive this season.
Red, white and blue hat trimmings
are universal.
All skirts are heightened, even for
street wear.
String ties are the proper thing for
gentlemen.
The fashionable belts sashes. bows.
ncckties, scarfs and parasols show the
national colors.
The plain perfectly hung, and simply
trimmed tailor skirt will be the style
next season.
Ribbon trimmings of every descrip-
tion are still in vogue and likely to re-
main so.
Something new in ribbon is the four
leaf clover design. 1t is used on fluffy
organdies and dotted swisses.
Nearly all the dressy toilets this sea-
son display sash worn at the left side
in front or in the center at the back.
The trimmed skirt appears to ad-
vance more rapidly and more generally
in favor than the draped or overskirted
styles.
All the round hats this season which
tilt over the face, have very wiue, low
set, faring trimmings on the front and
sides.
Irish linen trimmed with rows of
white braid or linen lace insertion and
edging have been much worn at New
port this season.
Many really beautiful dresses for the
summer have been formed by using the
partly worn silk gowns of past seasons
for the foundation for new outer dresses
of muslin, net, grenadine, etamine and
other transparent textiles.

enter the CANYON on any consideration when the

The drum and ball shown together will be a
signal between the two stations for informa-

From St, Michaels, Ska quay
Dyea and Juneau comes addition
al news confirming former re-
ports that the routes to the Yu-
kOn Via those places are not feas-
able. St. Michaels continues to
be blockaded with freight and
passengers awaiting transship-
ment to Dawson City and other
upper Yukon points, which will
not be reached this season owing
to the extreme low water, which
makes it impossible for the few
river boats in service on the
lower Yukon to navigate that
stream. The routes via Skaguay
and Dyea are receiving some at
tentiOn from persons going into
the interior without supplies, but
practically no attempt is being
made to move freight at either
of those places, owing to the low
water below Lake Bennett, The
result of these well known facts
is that all eyes are now turned
to the Stikeen Teslin Lake route
as being the only feasible route
to the interior, and great press
ure will be brought to bear on
the Dominion government to full
fill their oft-repeated promises
regarding a railroad from Glen
ora to Teslin Lake. The Domin-
ion parliament convenes at Otta-
wa the last of this month, and
no doubt the question will be
given prompt recognition. 1t is
to be hoped that members of
parliament will put party politics
behind them, and unite in legis-
lation looking to the develop
ment of the richest mineral
country ever discovered.

The war is dead long live the
the peace! This is welcome news
indeed. For the past four months
our people have been at war
with the subjects of the king of
Spain. 1t has been a war of the
strong against the weak: the rich
against the poor; the tree against
the oppressed and down trodden,
and the result, which was never
in doubt, has proven a triumph
of American arms and republican
institutions, and more than that
it has demonstrated the fact that
the United States of America
stands without a peer among the
nations of this earth, ON fear of
God, and him only" 1t is not
necessary to recount the circum-
stances leading up to the begin
ing of actual hoStilities, nor to
the events of the war, they are
too fresh in the minds of all.
Every effort was made to avoid a
conflict, without success, and
finally war was declared. After
which, President Mckinley, as
commanders chief of the army
and navy, proceeded to divest
Spain of every colonial depend
ency that she possessed. At last
Spain has been brought to under
stand that her cause was Il hope
less one, and accordingly, she
sues for peace. In treating for
peace President Mckinley will,
no doubt, show the same amount
of liberality in dealing with poor
weak Spain, as has characterized
his every action since war was
declared. Spain has already lost
nearly every war ship she had,
and must now suffer a loss of ter
ritory, but it is understood that
no indemnity will be asked.
Cuba will be free, and the dispo-
sition Of the Philippines will be
left to a commission to decide.
Our beloved country will again
be at peace with all the world,
and Spain will be left to reflect
upon the wisdom of blowing up
American ships on a friendly
mission in Havana harbor, in
times of peace.

Exceptional interest attaches to the
Hungarian CzikOs witlfBuffalo Bill's
Wild West. They are descendants
Of the Huns, hereditary to the cattle
herders from the plains Of Hungary,
who, in consequence Of the marvellous
service Of their ancestors as flying
cavalrymen, have, by royal edict,
enjoyed the rights and exemptions Of
the minor nobility ever since 1905.
Very picturesque fellows they are,
daring riders, gallant fighters and
wild us hawks. Until they started
to come here they had never seen
railway cars, and the new world is
as full Of themes for amazement to
them as it is to the most savage Of
the red men.
