Miss Rella C. Harber of Trenton.
Mo-. secretary OF the Interstate Good
Roads ond Public Improvement Asso-
citation, appeared in Springfield. Ill.
last week TO inaugurate movement
for the organization OF the state In the
Interests of hard roads. II is proposed
TO hold state convention in Illinois
early In the summer. and plans will
then be made for the organization OF
every county in the state. There Is a,
present hardroads association in Hill
nois. and 1t Is not proposed to organize
q rival association, but to make the
existing one perhaps the nucleus for a
great organization. The object OF Miss
Harber's visit TO Springfield at this
time is to interest Gov. Tanner and
the members OF the legislature In the
project. Lists OF questions are to be
sent out over the state with a view to
securing reliable information as to the
condition OF the country roads and the
amount annually expended upon them
1t is proposed to institute such sys-
tenn OF agitation that the question o.
hard reads will soon become local
political issue.

Perhaps no kind Of superiority IL

which Is conferred by the powers OF

part OF the praise is unknown and un-
enjoyed. The writer, indeed, spreads
his reputation to a wider extent. but
receives little pleasure or advantage
from the diffusion of his name. End

his own radiance reflected on himself

Mr.. Rice Instead of registering them,

down from the penitentiary few days
ago with batch of warrants, one of
them for one of the guard. When he
returned he told the guard that the

i1Dear Sir:-Your remarks about the
gambling bill in your letter of March
Both, can assure you are very fully ap
prsclated, and let me say in reply that
a billiard table or a pool table is not a
gambling device unless actually used
for gambling. There are a great many
devices that may be used innocently
and they do not come within the ban
of the law unless actually used for gam
bling.
Very truly yours,

The attorney general OF the state
is certainly working a hardship on
the assessors and treasurers, if his
decision as to their pay for the
first three months of 1899, is 10
stick. Assessor Howell of Bear
Lake, has made about SIS, for
these three months, and yet he has
done the hardest work of the year
IN them. Treasurer Shepherd at
last reports had made the nlagnifi-
cent sum Of 81. The attorney gen.
eral may be right, but there is no
justice in asking men to work
three months for nothing. If they
we're to be rewarded by 3 large
salary for the rest Of their term, il

If the treosurers and assessors
are to get nothing tor the first
three months Of their term, why
didn't the legislature fix the time
for arranging salaries in July in
stead of April, then the county
would get six months work out Of
these officials for nothing instead
Of three, because they draw all 81
their pay in the fall for the WHOLE
years work. The legislature oyer.
