II Would Not Work.

Assessor Speaker had an exciting as
well as an amusing duty to perform
Wednesday evening after Office hours
MIR. Speaker when assessing the city in
his rounds dropped into NJ. b. Murchie's
grocery store and assessed that gentle
man but on the evening of July 4th the
store took fire and part of the goods
were consumed which portion Mr..
Murchie was unidentified for by the
Insurance Companies with whom he
was insured but the damaged
stock was packed for shipment and the
building was disposed of to Gantv &
Cook.
The new law holds the county assessor
responsible for unsolicited taxes on
personal property. Mr.. Speaker was
given tip that Murchie was going to
leave the state with his goods so he &C.
cordingly called on Murchie and made
demand for the taxes which amount
ed to 1888. Murchie declared that he
did not see how the taxes could be
collected and any way he was not going
to leave the state that who ever started
such story wilfully falsifed, Mr..
Speaker however was not satisfied so
proceeded to the Northern Pacific depot
and found that Murchie's goods were all
loaded in car and consigned to himself
at North Yakima, Wash. He returned
to the home of Murchie and stated If he
did not come to his office and pay the
taxes due within few minutes he would
proceed to have the goods unloaded and
seized. Murchie followed the assessor
to the office and before the receipt had
been fully written out forked over the
1855 Assessor Speaker is truly
watchful officer in the interest Of the
county.

The Roads OF the Future.

The advent of the steam railroad
at comparatively early stage of
our material progress wrought
almost a dea,hblow to the cons,ruc-
ton OF ordinary roadways on any
but the most loose an insufficient
plan. The steam highways
usurped the place of the country
road in the commerce of the coun-
try Hence, it is true that in many
of our oldest settled sections the
condition of the ordinary highways
is deplorable.
The movement toward good
roads, which had its inception
through the activity of the cycle
associations, has hardly yet made
much Roadway; so that. while in
Europe the public highways are
constructed with a view to dura-
bility, and in accordance with the
demands OF local commerce, our
condition in the United States, in
this respect, is little less than bar
barous. We not only build no
highways worth talking about, but
those which we may lie said to
have are built and maintained i'll
so slovenly and worthless a man
ner as TO reflect seriously on the
national character, and to render
communication between localities,
even in the eastern states and places
best situated with reference to road
building, a source of continual loss
to our rural population.
The opening of the new century
brings us face TO face with this
problem. What the bicycle started
the automobile will hasten. /,
will revolutiouize our means oil
local travel, and turl the nation
seriously to the problem OF road
building. The antiquated and
stupid methods which now prevail
will no longer do. Those who UNI
dertake to build our roads mus,
have the necessary understanding
OF the work before them. The
primitive plan of having the
farmer work out hi, tax by doing
his share of a patchwork for which
he has no fitness or skilled super
vision, must give way 10 the en-
ployment Of skilled road builders.
Road building is trade, requiring
skill and experience. When we
come to the acceptance and under
standing of this truth, We will have
advanced some distance on the way
toward performing one OF the tasks
which are SO essential TO the ma.
tional prosperity, and which thus
far our stumbling methods have
left in pitifully backward condi.
ton.

Alger has at length resigned
The force Of public opinion was toe
much for the doughty secretary,
and he withdrew from the cabinet.
1t is safe to say that against no
other cabinet officer in the history
of the nation has there been raised
such clamor as against Secretary
Alger. Public opinion decided
that some one had Numbered in
the conduct of the war with Cuba,
and was quick to lay the blame on
the head of the department. The
administration has. no doubt, for
months felt the burden Of CARRYING
Alger, but he chose not to
relieve the embarrassment of the
situation. The way for his exit
with grace was no doubt prepared
by the announcement of his aspi.
ration TO become a senator from his
state, but the open alliance with
Pingree was the last straw. He
retires under pressure of public
demand, but whether guilty or not,
some more remote aud less preiu.
diced people must determine.
