[Chiei consul south California division L. A. WI
takes many years, and realization
comes after years of labor or fails en-
tirely. The requirement of success Is
intrinsic merit, and the l., A. W. has
so fully realized the merit of the good
roads cause that it has steadily main
tanned its confidence in II. 1t has sue
ceeded in interesting many other or
ganizatious In its work, and it Is fact
that today it's strongest allies are the
farmers. The latter class has slowly
realized that In the highways of the
country was something Of direct inter
est to their welfare, and when this Is
more fully known there should be a
demand for road Improvement that Will
make the legislatures readily respond.
Something of the arguments for good
roads are shown In resolutions passed
recently by the International good
roads congress In session at Port
Huron, Mich. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, The United States government in the
earlier days Of the republic espoused the cause Of
road improvement by building and maintaining
nhUOnai TOauhi anu
Whereas, Aid has been given to the western
railroads by both land grants and bonds and,
Whereas, 1t is the well established practice OF
the general government to aid in transportation
over water by deepening the rivers and harbors
and the water communication between the great
lakes; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the same liberal policy should
be extended to overland transportation upon the
common highways OF the people and that every
reasonable aid should be extended by the United
States government and state governments to re-
duce the cost Of transportation upon these high
ways
Resolved, That the good work heretofore accom-
plished by the office Of public road inquiries Of
the United States department Of agriculture should
be extended as rapidly as possible and that every
state in the Union should be reached not only by
literature published by that office, but by public
addresses and object lesson roads produced by the
most skilifu experts In the most economic and
scientific manner
Resolved. That state and local associations for
the encouragement Of road improvement should
be formed in all parts Of the country and that
members OF congress should be requested and
urged to further increase the annual apprOpria
ton TO be devoted to this purpose.
Resolved, That we declare ourselves In favor Of
utilizing to the utmost possible extent prison and
convict labor In preparing road material and plac
ing same on the highways far as 1t can be done
without interfering with good government and
honest labor

found to be the case. Harry Elkes de-
feated Tom Cooper and MacFarland
last season in half mile event at Phil
adelphla. Major Taylor, now recOg-
nized as one of the fastest sprint riders
In the world, came to the front some
years ago because of his work In six
day grind in New York.
Tom Cooper, Orlando Stevens and
Floyd mcfarland, the three riders Sc
lected to represent America in the in
ternational races at Paris, should give
a good account of themselves there II
the climate does not affect them. Coo
per and Stevens are two of the fastest
sprlnters in the world, and MacFar-
land and Harry Elkes, who has been In
France all summer. should hold the
foreigners in the long distance events.
Johnny Nelson, the little Swede, who
has become such a spectacular figure
In the middle distance this season, Is
but 10 years old. He came to this
country in 1897 and then learned to
ride a wheel. As an amateur he was q
top nOtcher on the road and track and
holds many amateur records today. In
Montreal last August he won the 100
hlometer worlds championship, and
last winter he went south and trained
for middle distance. His first race
this year was at Cincinnati May 10,
when he rode against Porter without
pace and lost. The entire race he rode
unpaced against Porter, who was fol-
lowing a motor. Since then he has
ridden five motor paced races and won
them all In these races he easily de-
feated Burns Pierce, the conqueror Of
Michael; Albert Champion. Harry
Caldwell, Everett Ryan and others.
He is the holder of worlds records

The Name sioux.

The Indian name Sioux, as 1t APP
pears In such town names as Sioux
Falls, Sioux City and Sioux Rapids, is
usually pronounced $780," but some
times, in the east chiefly, that simple
pronunciation is not known. A COM
mitteeman not long ago visited school
In New England, where he heard the
pupils say "Si-ox" with complete as
surance. At a favorable opportunity
he quietly spoke to the teacher of the
error, saying, "You know, it Is $780, 3"
whereupon she asked the attention Of
the school and solemnly announced:
"You have all been pronounclng this
word wrong. 1t Is not Sl-ox,' but 500
OK" The committeeman lacked the
courage to pursue the subject further.

A Funny CricketIna Incident.

II. Tumble, the lanky Australian
cricket bowler, whose peculiar dellv-
cries Americans have been privileged
to behold, figured in rather amusing
incident that occurred In match play
not so long ago at Auckland, New Yea
land. In attempting to bowl one of his
slow leg breaks he let go of the ball
somewhat prematurely, with the re-
suit that the sphere went high in the
air and then dropped midway between
the wickets. Not having the necessary
momentum to reach the batsman, II
stopped dead about a yard outside of
the crease. The batsman, |. Mills by
name, proved equal to the occasion
and, stepping out and waiting until
the ball had come to a halt, hit II to
the boundary for four, feat that
was greeted by applause and uproari'
GUS laughter.

SOWN BY GUNPOWDER.
A Curious Way of Covering n Rocky
Crag with Plant Life.

Crag with Plant Life.
In the grounds of the Duke of Athol
and near Blair castle England, stands
q high, rocky crag named Craiglebarns.
1t looked grim and bare In the midst of
beauty, and its owner thought how
much prettier it would look If only
trees, shrubs, etc, could be planted in
its hooks and crannies. 1t was consid-
cred impossible for any one to scale its
steep and dangerous activities, and no
other way was thought of to get seed
sown.
One day Alexander Nasmyth, father
of the celebrated engineer, paid a visit
to the dukes grounds. The crag was
pointed out to him, and he was told Of
the desire of the duke regarding 1t.
After some thought he conceived how
1t could be accomplished. In passing
the castle he noticed two old cannon.
He got few small tin canisters made
to fit the bore of the cannon and filled
them with a variety of tree, shrub and
grass seeds. The cannon was loaded
in the usual way and fired at the rock
from all sides.
The little canisters on striking the
rock burst, scattering the seeds in all
directions. Many seeds were lost, but
many more fell into the lodges or
cracks where there was little moss or
earth. These soon showed signs of
life, and in few years graceful trees
and pretty climbing plants all sown by
gunpowder were growing and flourish
ing in nearly every recess Of the for
merly bare gray crag, clothing it with
verdant beauty.

Motor paced racing Is fast suppressed
ing all other forms Of cycle racing in
public favor. The great excitement
and high speed made in these events
and the knowledge that n certain
amount of danger turks in the back
ground seem to cast a spell over the
spectators.
As new tracks are built for faster
speed this element of danger becomes

And love and trust have drifted away
