Snow Killed Game.

The hard winter has been disastrous to
large and small game in Northern Cali
fornia, especially deer and quail. Hunt
ers say that many dead quail have been
found among the hedges where the snow
has melted, and the bones of hundreds
of small deer have been discovered where
the animals had been killed by cougars
and coyotes. Where the snow was not
sufficiently crusted to prevent the p0ne-
tratlon of the sharp hoofs of deer, they
fall an easy prey to animals that could

thereof, and asserts its determina-

to leave the government and con-

to await the action Of the Senate on adj

AS the hour of adjournment drew near.
the presentation OF tokens Of friends hip

took the floor and in neat speech pre-
s nted Speaker Van Duzer with Il hani-
some gold headed cane. Mr.. Plat: was
followed by Mr.. Sunmeriield, and Mr..
Coryel!, the Speaker pro tenn, was pre-
scented with i golt. headed cane. Mr.. Van
Duzer replied III :. touching speech ana
accepted the token from the members Of
the House. Mr.. Coryell made neat and
telling speech, when he accepted the gift
of the House.
Mr.. Allen also addressed the House and
made a telling and sympathetic talk. The
closing hours of the Assembly proved to
be those Of sincere friendship among he
members who have worked with each
oteer the past two months, and in spite of
the many hard fought debates INDUCED
in, the feelings OF men who have stood
the brunt were forgotten and genuine
feeling was expressed. The clock had

Some suggestions for GOOD Roads


be required for arches of similar span.
Then upon this frame begin the con-
crete, employing a favorable brand OF
American Portland cement. The stone
used should be granite quartzite, line
grained limestone or other equally strong
and durable stone. It should be broken
into various Sizes the largest to pass
anyway through two-inch ring. After
completion, above the top of the culvert
should be filled sufficient material to pro-
tect it from injury-a precaution often
neglected.
Traction Engines.
Another idea suggested was the use of
traction engines in lieu of horses on
long stretches of road attached to
grades. The pull is more even and uni
form, and recently there has been in
troduced a type of traction engine on
which the wheels may be replaced by
heavy rolls. converting the engine into
a road-roller of moderate weight. A
machine OF this kind would seem to be
quite an acquisition to a township that
could not afford regular steam roller.
Drainage.
Every practical paper presented dur
ing the congress dwelt with emphasis
upon the value of proper drainage. No
road could be considered complete with
out a thorough system in wet and clay
ey roadways. Surface drainage alone is
not sufficient without underdrainage.
The crown of such roadways will dry
only by the slow process of evaporation,
during which time the topping becomes
more and more rutted by passing traf-

The Branstock
A Beautiful Morse
Symbol of HONS.
BY HUBERT M. SKINNER.

Morse population to our Northwestern
states had caused many Morse words to
come into somewhat general use and
suggested the probable assimilation of
many more, had requested him to select
and define such a number of these as
might seem desirable for incorporation
into their great work.
Then why o why, DR. Anderson"
interrupted did you not give to US that
beautiful old Morse word Branstock?
We needed it. We want it. Why did YOU
omit it?"
Quickly the doctor responded. All but
that was impossible. When I landed on
my return to America, the letters a. b.
c and d were all set up in type, and 1
had to begin with e. Otherwise you
should have had Branstock, With all my
heart"
It seems not unlikely that this quaint
old term employed by the Morse may yet
become one of the familiar and endeared
words of the English-s speaking world,
like fireside, and hearthstone, and rooI-
tree, all of which are symbols OIL the
home. The northern people of Europe
from whom We Americans are SO gen.
orally descended, lived more in the open
of their leisure time beneath their be-
loved home trees. The "Branstock'' was
as sacred as the paternal roof, and be-
came symbol of all that was dear in the
memories of home life In the shade of
the BranStock the infant was lulled to
slumber by the mothers lullaby; children
played their merry games; the father
rested at noon; the grandmother knitted
as She related tales of old days. Under
the boughs Of the Branstock the vows OF
lovers were plighted; and here, at times,

shall say that in moral power or in
strength and beauty, it has ever been
surpassed. or even equaled, by the epics
of the south or of the Orient?
AS descendants of Teutonic tribes we
should be heirs to this literary legacy of
the long ages past. 1t was a happs

that they refused to attack IT, and were
therefore necessary DEFENDANTS; and
whatever may have been their feelings,
their relation to the issue was that of
parties opposed to the appellant. The
court says: I'VE do not speak Of cases
of collision in which a party really a
plaintiff In an interest is made de-
PENDANT in order to evade the statute"
Il would SEEM however, that the danger
suggested by the court Is grave one,
and the way is made easy for the perpe-
tration of fraud by this decision.
Department Stores Liability for Dental
Malpractice-The court of appeals Of
New York has recently decided, in the
case of Harmon VS.. Siegel-Cooper Co,

sensations to the plaintiff, on which she
relied that they were conducting a dent
list business in their store, and she, be-
cause of these representations, hired the
workman in the store of the defendants
with no knowledge that the business
was conducted by another individually,
the defendants were responsible for the
acts Of the dentist who treated the
plaintiff, even though the third party
was, as a matter of fact, the real osgner

plaintiff had a right to rely not only on
the presumption that the defendants

servant whether skillful or not, was

the opposite party. The suit was brought
by plaintiff to set aside her fathers will,
which. she contended, was obtained
through the undue influence of her
brother J. Two other brothers w. and
s., refused to join the plaintiff in the
suit, and were consequently made defend
ants. On the trial they offered to tes-
tify as to certain transactions with the
decedent tending to show that the will
was obtained by j. by undue influence.
The supreme court holds that this evil
dence should be admitted. The court
holds that as w and s were benefciar1es

King VOlsang's
Great Oak Tree.

A few years ago, when DR.. Rasmus 3.
Anderson was my guest in Chicago, the
Oakland club gave in his honor q
brilliant reception, which will be long re-
membered; and the doctor addressed the
members in his happiest vein. DR..
Anderson, who was formerly our min
lister at the court Of Denmark is one Of
the most voluminous of American
authors. His photography enumerates
forty-seven volumes, which number has
been Increased, I think, since its publ
cation. He is, moreover, the originator
of new department in American letters,
that of Morse mythology, history, poetry
and prose fiction. He is a complete em>
bodiment of the spirit of the Morse.
In the course of his felicitous remarks
to our club he mentioned, incidentally,
that he had been instrumental in adding
sixty new words to our vocabulary. The
makers of a notable dictionary, recognize
ing the fact that the great influx of

filled coarse stone, then brush to inter-
cept the sand and the trench above, this
is filled with gravel. The tile used for
this purpose is usually the land or brick
tile of from two to six inches in diam
eter. The joints should be wrapped
with tarred paper or coarse cloth, to pre-
vent choking by sand. Another sugges-
ton was to lay these tile drains at each
side of the roadway.
Wide Tires.
One of the resolutions recommended
the further use of Wide-tired wagons.
There was no disputing the philosophy
of wide tires, and there were no reasons
offered why they should not come into
general use.
State and County Organization.
The resolution adopted by the con-
gress which will have the greatest effect
and contribute to that complete co-opera-
ton necessary for a successful outcome
of the work in question, was the proVid-
ing for the appointment of a vice presi-
dent, who would be at the head of the
movement in each state and would in
turn appoint beyond the state organiza-
ton, a county and township membership.
and each working in unison will make
an advancement greater than ever here
tofore shown. 1t will bring the matter
home to the individual taxpayer in a
new light, and by including him person
ally into that membership will awaken
interest which, it is to be hoped, will
not be abated until the roads are being
worked under a systematic plan which
will speak for itself and be convincing
as to its value. 1t is pleasure to state
that Mr.. George Cooley, the county sur
veyor of Hennepin county, is the vice
president appointed for this state He
