TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt's first message is
document worth reading. 1t is as
full OF vigor a. the man himself He
does not mince words in giving his
views on public questions. Throughout
the whole of the twenty some thousand
words there is not an expressin that is
not founded on good common sense.
The president has Il keen insight into
way OF saving what he means and means
what he saws.
OF all the numerous points discussed
none interests the west SO much as his
advocacy of building storage reservoirs
in the arid regions. On the subject he
says: at is as right for the national
government to make the streams and
rivers of the arid regions useful by en-
cheering works for water storage as to
make the rivers and harbors of the
humid regions by engineering works OF
another kind
His views on the forest reserve Ques-
ton are the result Of knowledge gained
in contact with the reserves. On this
subject he makes the pertinent remarks
Certain of the forest reserves should
also be made preserves for wild forest
creatures. All OF the reserves should be
better protected from fires. Many OF
them need special protection because OF
the great injury done by live stock,
above all by sheep"
To appreciate its full import the mes
sage must he read

Northwest, although they are an inn
part of the country. II the Commercial
club of this city can put its scheme into
execution it will have done something
worthy Of note throughout the nation.
The roads in this county need improv-
ing in many ways, and as all of them
cannot be made what roads should be
under the present financial condition Of
the county, one road at least could be SO
constructed that it would be an induce
ment for the building of others. No
better route for the road could be Sc
lected than that to the Sunnyside coun-
try. 1t would pass through the most
thickly populated part of the valley and
would do the greatest amount Of good
to the greatest number of people. Its
length would be about fifty miles and its
cost about $4,000. This is an insignif-
cant sum when compared to the great
amount Of money that has already been
expended on roads in the past ten years.
Instead of throwing the money away on
"scooping dirt" and hauling stone, as is
done yearly, if the same amount were
expended on pixies in some systematic
way, good thoroughfares throughout the
county would in a few years be the re-
suit.
However, if anything is to be done,
the road law of this state must be
changed. At present the county COM
missioners are limited in their action.
They cannot bond the county for such
improvements, because each district has
it within its power to say what it shall
do in the road making business. And
naturally the farmer would kick against
bonding the districts for such pur-
poses, for they would have the taxes to
pay, Notwithstanding they would be the
beneficiaries. If the Commercial club
wishes to do anything in this direction,
let it wait till the legislature meets again
and then make an effort to have a more
liberal and effective road law enacted.

done it is not known whether the street
would be any better than it is, though
it may have withstood the grinding pro-
cess longer time. In opinion Of
many people the trouble lies
with the kind OF stone used, and
time, they say, will demonstrate
this. When the matter of macadamiz-
ing was first brought up, the question of
what kind of material to use was freely
discussed. 1t was the opinion OF the
civil engineer that granite would be
more endurable. This could be secured
by crushing the granite boulders found
ley but granite was objected to for the
reason that in crushing the boulders too
many round corners would be in evi.
dence, thus preventing packing. The
contractor also suggested the use of the
granite rock, but the basalt was thought
by others to be the best. Those in
favor of basalt cited to its successful use
in other cities, such as those in Utah,
Arizona and California. These cities
have used it successfully it is true, but
it must be remembered that there is
less rain in the places where it has been
tested and the conditions under which
it was put down are different from those
existing here. As stated above there is
is no fault to find with the manner in
which the foundation of the macadam
was laid, and it may be that by the use
of sand, as now being tried with the top
covering, the paving will prove sue
cess. 1t is to be hoped it will. The paw
ment is an experiment and it is best to
not criticise till time proves its entire
failure.

than that the stone used was put down

The farmers garden ought to be N
long rows, to save work. 1t should b
rich ground, enriched continuously
year after year, and well drained nat
urally or tiled. 1t should get very
thorough cultivation, and one should
not look at few dollars when buying
tools to work it with. 1 have many
improved tools for mine. Drills,
wheel-hoes and cultivators all pay, be-
cause they save labor and do good
work. Your garden is incomplete

enough of it. i have strawberries,
raspberries, gooseberries and cur
rants. This small fruit should be in
rows, as also the pie-plant and aspar-
agus. Small fruit needs to be culti-
waited regularly and fortified.
With such garden you need not be
poor. But you must not let the wife
do all the work in it, nor the wife the
