Enth.sed Uns.r OimesitIes.

The republicans and the demo-
popocrats both held political meet
ings in this city last Saturday night
under difficulties. IL had been
raining most of the afternoon.
and neither succeeded in drawing
out very large crowds, although
the attendance at the opera house,
where the republicans held forth,
was twice as large as that at the
Bryan headquarters in Dougherty's
hall, the Denver News to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
The Daily Democrat man in his
eagerness to roast the republican
meeting and criticise many things
that Mr.. Goudy did not even men
ton, forgot to chronicle ths fact
that the Bryanites held meeting
at all. They did, however. and ID
was addressed by Judge Voorhees,,
Judge Rizer, Mr. McAliny, can
didate for district attorney, and
Mayor Sabin.

RADIO. Mr.. Goudy's address was
confined exclusivelyto discussion
OF national issues. He declared
that party lines had been dissolved
and that we were all Americans
now Democrats and republicans,
north and south, were openly de-
claring that the flag and the honor
OF the country were more impor-
tant than any party victory could
be. Where the flag had been
raised in honor it should nevey be
hauled down in dishonor.
Mr.. Goudy's address was listen
ed to throughout with the closest
attention. He is entertaining and
at times eloquent, and he made a
most excellent impression upon
the occasion Of his visit to this

STEEL ROAD IN SPAIN.
Advantages They Possess over the
Ordinary stone Road

Horace Lee Washington. United
States consul at Valencia Spain, in a
recent report to the state department
on steel roadway in Spain. says:
The road between Valencia and Grao
is two miles ?. length and an average
of 300 vehicles pass over it daily
Until 1892 it was constructed of flint
stone. The annual cost of keeping it
in repair was about S5,4IO.
The construction of a steel roadway
was determined on, and the annual cost
of keeping in repair the central zone OF
road thus relieved from heavy traffic
which proceeds over the steel rails, Is
now only about $3.50.
The length of road so built was less
than two miles, and the cost in detail
was: Steel construction. $3.50; trans
portation and laying steel construction,
S5OI; binding stone construction be-
tween rails and lateral zones, S.. 100:
total, $95O3.
The rails during the seven years they
have been in position exhibit wear II
one decimal of a millimeter yearly and
have not required repairing.
Ample room is allowed between the
rails for two horses to walk abreast.
Horses do not appear to slip on rails of
this construction.
AT each side Of the rail are layers Of
binding stones, the paved road being
higher than the face of the rails
The municipality of Valencia is Of
opinion that the saving in cost of re-
pairs through road of this dcscrip-
ton pays for its construction III a short
time, and other and similar roadways
are in contemplation.
From various parts OF Spain inqui-
ries have been made concerning this
road. ! learn that similar construc-
ton was decided on at Alicante in
1898. but was temporarily abandoned
when events caused exchange to ill.,
crease. A toll Of about eight-tenths of
cent Is charged each vehicle passing
over this roadway.

In the face of these facts to stand in

the crossroads to he laid with graz ct
aud clay well rolled,
With material close ut hand such
roads can be built for about 500 a
mile. but in many cases where no gray
el is ut hand the cost might run to two
or three times that sum. The building
Of such roads is just as much of an art
and requires just as much care in the
preparation of the specifications as
macadam and even more attention to
maintenance. No one would seriously
advocate the completion of this extern
sivc programme in any one year or
even the raising OF $50. 900 or 100000
by taxation for the building of the
macadam sections, but il would be
/ cheaper in the end in all likelihood, to
/ borrow the necessary sum OF the state
at / per cent, creating n sinking fund
/ for the retirement of the bonds when
/ due. The saving in repairs when the
/ dirt road is superseded 10y the maCad'
am and scientifically built gravel road
would not only pay all interest, but
would leave margin for sinking fund
/ purposes. The prosecution Of the pro
gramme. not its abandonment is the
way to save the county'S money, to say
nothing Of that of the farmers.

BOOM IN IDAHO.
Construction OF n Railroad Benefits
Town. Along Its Line.


WcSer Ida, is enjoying a boom as
a result of the reconstruction of the
Seven Devils railroad and the prospect
that the Nevada, California and ore
gon also may extend its line to that
town. There are about 1900 men in the
city. 1t is simply impossible to get
sleeping accommodations. as all the hO-
tells are filled. These seem to Toe doing
a klondike business, and number Of
brick buildings are being constructed
In New Town Many Of the people
are living in tents until the buildings
shall be finished
1t is predicted that Weiser will share
In the rush that will set in for eastern
Oregon next spring. and the boom now
started will rage more fiercely. While
reaction always follows Il boom,
there are indications that point toward
Weser becoming an important city.
II Is In the center OF a splendid agri-
cultural and mining district. The rail.
road now being built has for its OBJ
jective point the famous Seven Devils
copper district, said to be the most
extensive of any in the world. Weiser
will necessarily get considerable of the
benefit OF the trade which will tow
from that region.
The new railroad company has built
a fine depot at Weiser and is operat-
ing trains for distance of 80 miles
out. Every pay day about 1000 men
