ROAD CONVENTIONS.
The Good Roads Meetings Called
For July 10 and II.
Movement Well Under Way And
Business Men Organized
For Work.

Col. w. H. Moore, president of the
National Good Roads Association,
who was here last week, has called
one of the two conventions to be
held in Kentucky to meet in hopkin-
vile July 10 and IL. The other
will be at Louisville week earlier.
Wherever these meetings have been
held a wonderful interest has been
aroused in the movement for good
road.
The Illinois Central Railroad is
promoting the scheme in the South
and a special train of twelve cars
is required to transport the machin-
cry and working crew. Actual in
struction is given in the constru c.
ton of roads. The train carries
graders, crushers and rollers of
the most improved kinds and the
road builders usually build mile
of road near the city and wind up
with a mammoth convention.
The working force will arrive
about July and will during the
next three or four days build tn e
road to be constructed. Then on
the 10th and 18th there will be con-
ventions at which discussion will
take place, speeches be made and
everything done to create lively
interest in good roads.
AS all OF the turnpikes Of Chris.
tian county will be thrown open
July LIST, these dates may also be
observed to celebrate that event
and the whole population of the
county will be invited to attend,
The railroads willFun excursions
from allparts Of Western Kentucky,
as the conventions are the only ones
to be held in this half of the State.
A public meeting of citizens was
held at the city court room last
night to appoint committees on
arrangements, finance, invita-.
tions and reception and to perfect
the necssory organization. These
committees will be announced in q
subsequent issue. Every effort
will be make to make the coming
conventions the largest gatherings
of the kind ever held in the State
Governors of several states will bt
invited to attend.

FIRM MARKET.
Receipts Continue Heavy With
Good Sales For Week.

The tobacco market this week
was firm on leaf but perhaps a bid
easier on Jugs. The offerings show
ed good condition and sales amount
ed to about 400 hogsheads. Re-
ceipts were between FIVE and six
hundred hogsheads. Last week s

prices for this week. During the
past ten days there have been some

|; WHAT PEOPLE SAY !


A. j. Splawn-John l.. Smith, of
Hazelwood Dairy Co., of Spokane, who
was an exhibitor of Holsteins, Jersey
cattle, Poland China swine and fine
poultry at Washington State Fair this
year says to put him down for a silver
cup to be given for best herd of beef
cattle at Washington State Fair in 1902.
He has the true spirit and with few
more men OF his kind the stock interests
of this state will come quickly to the
front. Our State Fair was much bene-
fitted by the presence of the fine herd of
Short Horn cattle belonging to that big
hearted son of Heppner, Ore, W. O..
Minor, with n. G. Mars as manager
The Brown Swiss cattle with their
peculiar color and docile looks was one
of the greatest attractions at our fair.
They will yet become one of our most
valuable breeds of cattle. They look just
what they represent: an ideal, all pur-
pose cattle. The man who starts breed
ing them first here, in my opinion, will
make it win. The owner, F. A. French,
of Portland, Oregon, was well pleased
with his visit here and says in 1902 he
will be at Washington State Fair with
these cattle and representation of a
Swiss village, showing how these cattle
are handled in their native land. A. S.
Fogg, manager OF the Swiss herd, is a
man OF rare qualities, and who knows
his business and takes care OF the same.
| We welcome their return in another
year. Had the whole universe to Sc
lect from could not have picked more
gentlemanly and considerable lot OF men
than the live stock exhibitors at Wash
ington State Fair OF 1901.
So
| +. A. Henderson, of Tacoma am
surprised at the amount OF fruit that
goes 10 waste in the Yakima valley,
when every bit OF it could be sold at
good figures in Tacoma or any other
Sound city. There must be something
wrong when such conditions exist and
the people of this valley should set to
work at once to find out the cause of it.
took trip through the country dis
tricts while here and was really aston
ished at the great amount Of fruit that
is going to waste under the trees.
Peaches and plums and melons seem
to go to waste in greater quantities than
anything else and this should not be
when every piece of fruit could be sold
at handsome prices in Tacoma. hope
the Yakima people viii attend to this
matter by another year and give US all
the fruit we want.

famous Yakima valley in general pros
perity neither did see place that
grows fruit so successfully as this. While
business OF almost all kinds in the east
is good and the whole country is pros
pering as it has never prospered before

as my home city. | hold that there are
as many opportunities, with far better
chances of success, right here for the
young man than at any place in the
east at present. This is true in many
lines of business, and in farming there
is no place in the country where greater
returns are received from the money in
vested in land. | crossed the continent
from west to east and returned and |
did not see a place that | would ex-
change this valley for. My advise is to
stick to North Yakima and work for its
upbuilding.
City Marshal Boyle-It is very import
ant that the merchants OF this CITY ex-
ercise more care in protecting their
back doors and windows. In many
business houses the protection in this
respect is very slight, and it is no trouble
for the average burglar to effect an en-
trance. ! also wish to again call
the attention OF merchants to the neces-
sity OF keeping light burning in their
respective places OF business. Many OF
them have complied with this request
made by me times without number, but
there are some who still fail to leaye a
light in their store rooms at night. 1t
is better to have a half-dozen lights
burning than one, so night officer on
his rounds can see throughout the build
ing. | should like to see all the bust
ness men comply with this request with
out further talk on the matter.

Wagon Market Lightly Supplied
with Prices Steady and Firm.

1t was very quiet in trade circles yes
terday. holiday dullness pervading nearly
ali lines, which is expected to be the con-
dition from now until after New Years
day. Retail merchants are purchasing only
to meet immediate requirements. There
were important changes in prices, but
firmness is a characteristic of the situation
in most lines. On Commission row little
was done except in Irish and sweet pota-
toes and apples, sales of which. owing to
the mildness OF the weather, were very
fair and at full quotations. The dry goods
houses are experiencing quiet times and
are utilizing the dull period in taking ac-
count of stock Wholesale grocers were
fairly busy. Sugar has a weak Tone
but coffees and other lines rule steady and
firm. The druggists report linseed oil as
firm at the revised quotation of Tuesday.
In other lines no changes are reported.
Business with the seed merchants is i'm
proving somewhat, with prices practically
the same The flour market is in strong
In the produce market a firm tone prevails,
but with no advance in any line. Choice
butter is in active request at prices quoted,
but a good deal of poor stuff on the
mand is rather light, temporarily, owing
to holiday season. other lines are without
new features.

THE ENGINES In BADSHAPE
MANY OF THEM NEED REPAIRS AND
GENERAL OyERHAULING.
The Baltimore & Ohio Adopting Meth
DDS in Use By the PennsyI-
vania Lines.

1T makes me blue" said a superintendent
Of motive power, ito look at our locomo-
tives-so many OF them in bad shape
and cannot haul their allotted tonnage.
The fact Is we have no time TO repair them.
For fifteen months the call has been, on
our lines, for more engines, and as soon
as an engine arrives at & division point
it is turned about and run back as soon as
possible. This year an engine hauls loaded
trains in both directions sc heavy has been
west-bound business. and as soon as it re-
turns TO Indianapolis 1t is sent out as quick
as it can be oiled and made ready, with
another crew. This has been the case for
over year and a half. until many of the
engines are looking badly. New engines,
as soon as received and put in service, are
crowded to their utmost capacity, and this
does not seemingly relieve the situation.
Our train crews are overworked, but their
wages are so good under present conditions
that little complaint is heard on that score.
More complaint is heard of the condition of
the engines. and the traffic department
does not give any intimation of a decline
in business TO give us an opportunity to
repair locomotives. Our system has nearly
seven hundred locomotives, and to say
them is no exaggeration." This superin-
tendent said he had inquired as TO the con-
dition of power on ether roads and found
all were in the same condition.

The announcement that changes in the
operating department of the B. & o. were
pending simply carried out the expecta-
tions of those familiar with the situation,
and that changes are to be made in the
traffic department is equally certain. but
what the plans of President Loree, Vice
President Murray and Manager Potter are
will not be known for few days; but that
the road is to be operated after plans of
the Pennsylvania lines is daily becoming
apparent. The Pittsburg Gazette says:
"One Of the most significant features of
the new changes is the wider extension
of authority to be given the division
superintendent Division superintendent
on the Pennsylvania system have more
authority than on any other system in
the country, and the intention of the
present Baltimore & Ohio management
headed by a former Pennsylvania man.
is evidently to put the Baltimore & Ohio
on a system like the Pennsylvania as far
as possible. By the new order the di-
vision engineers of maintenance of way
are TO report to the division superin-
tendents, not as now. to the chief en-
eineer of the road The PennsvIvania
advances to superintendent only those
men who have been engineers. and the
advance on the Baltimore q Ohio in the
future will undoubtedly be from division
engineer to division superintendent. The
jurisdiction of General Superintendent w.
r. WoodfOrd has been made the largest
and most important of all outside of Balti-
more. There are nearly LOO miles of
railroad placed directly under his care,
and there will be in all about eight di-
vision superintendent reporting to him.
Pittsburg has been made by the new
management of the system one of the
most important points on the line. The
big grand division which will be operated
from this city as headquarters will COM
prise all the Baltimore & Ohio lines in
the coal and coke territory of western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern
West Virginia. and will also include the
lake coal lines"

DIVORCE COURT WOES.
Lulu v. Baase and John MOriarity the
PIaintiffs-Other Cases.

Lulu V. Baase yesterday filed suit against
her husband, John f. Baase. for divorce.
She alleges that her husband refused to
allow her to visit her parents and mis-
treated visitors to their home. She charges
that he found fault with her cooking, the
retaining of small amounts of money, and
that he made himself disagreeable by lex
cessve and parsimonous curtailment' OF
living expenses. She also says he COM
PEELED her to sleep in a cold room and did
not provide sufficient clothing to keep her
warm.
John Moriarity sued his wife, Elizabeth
Moriarity. for divorce. He says she re-
fused to cook his meals and when he le-
turned home from work he had to cook
them himself get them elsewhere. He
also charges her with making loud noises
to disturb him when he asleep, and
that she would make such an uproar when
in state of intoxication that neighbors
would rush in TO investigate. He says when
he called a physician, fearing that she was
dangerously i'll, she was only suffering
from drink.
