A NEW ROAD SCHEME.

The recent rains have proved
beyond doubt that oiled roads in
this section OF southern California
are Il success.
Early in the spring the county
fathers devoted considerable time
and study to the question of oiled
roads, which resulted in the deter
mination to make thorough test
of it on the highways of the coun-
ty, The road selected for the test
was that leading east from Ventu-
ra, known as the Thompson Av-
enue Road
This piece of road, as every one
knows. il about the hardest in the
county to keep up, being an alter
nate of abode and sandy soil, and
its selection was to make the test
thorough. The work of oiling was
placed under the supervision OF
Supervisor Gabbsrt.
The first application was made
some time in June, followed by
another few weeks later: but for
some reason the oil did not p"n".
trn.c the soil rs readily Ms was ~
prcied, and t,r n tim. t luos-,i ns
though the process would not
wora here. and Supervisor Cab
bert was the center of much talk,
good, bad and Indifferent. But
dabbert kept saving wood and
oiling and grading the road
Meanwhile people-despite posted
notices to the contrary-kept
driving over its smoothly surfaced
bed, TIL the supervisor wa1ed
warm and fenced it in, and h.
didn't remove that fence until be
had that road oiled and graded to
his satisfaction.
And now, after two months trav-
81 and two good rains have fallen
upon it, it is one of the finest
thoroughfares to bs found in Ven-
tura county.
A drive over this piece Of road

The beets grown down in Kan
sss are testing very high in sugar
percentage, according to the re-
ports received from the Kansas
experimental station. We see no
reason why beets grown as far
east as Garden City should not
test as high as those grown in Col
orado as the soil differs but little
and the climate is practically the
same.

ly Youthful. The last two or three
years have touched his raven locks

Hombardino the Clouds.

The plan of protecting vineyards
from the ravages of hailstorms
seems to have been successful in
part only, if at all, in France and in
Italy. Some experiments have been
made in both countries, but the in
ference drawn up to this time seems
to be that whole parks Of artillery
containing many guns of large cali
Der will be needed if reasonable Sc
curity against hail is to be insured
And it is not altogether certain as
yet that even if hundreds Of 6 inch
guns were to be discharged at short
intervals the protection would be
complete. The bombardment of the
heavens cannot yet be considered
effectual.

The victories of the Columbia have
stirred the patriotic pulse notwith-
standing the bad favor that the New
York Yacht Club has fallen into with
a storm of Americans. Many have
been racked between a desire for
national supremacy in this, as in
other cases, and the disgust they
have felt at the effort to throw a
monopoly around the right OF defend
ing the cup. Could Upton have taken
the cup to England the sting OF defeat
would not have been so great. The
unpopular action OF the defenders,
the fact that Upton is a gallant and
gentlemanly sport and an inclination
on the part of Americans to see what
our boats could do in British waters
would have all conspired torob defeat
of its sting had the Shamrock proved
the winner.

THE Democratic members of the
Suffrage Committee seem TO be no
nearer together since the conference
than before. If all this could have
been fOreseen two or three months
ago what different steps would have
been taken at that time The failure
to come to results during many weeks
has seriously retarded the work OF
the Convention and created dissatis-
faction among the people. Its clearly
seen now that il some report could
have been made-nO matter how weak
an One-the Convention could have
been at work on the suffrage question,
as it will still have to do, and in all
probability have come to a conclusion
of it. The matter now will have to be
threshed over, and we are glad that
it is to be so. Conferences are good
things at times, but this question is
one of great interest TO the people
and it should not be discussed behind
closed doors. If the Convention had
taken hold of the matter every item
would have gone through the sitting
process of the press, and the people
would have indicated their wishes at
every point. Then, possibly, the dele
gates would have known how to make
up their minds.

THE Constitutional committee Is
still wrestling with the oysterproblem
and hearing advocates on this ques-
ton, of so much moment to Eastern
Virginia. That the natural rocks
should be held inviOlable for residents
of the State only is wise decision,
and we think the committee did right
in coming to such a decision. ltstill
seems to be an open question with the
committee, however, as to whether or
not it shall name a maximum figure
as a tax for clustering. AS we have
before stated we deem this the most
important of all points when Section
2, Article Y, shall have been abOl-
ished. The oyster and its tax will be
the political football OF all coming
Legislatures unless this is done. Some
advocate placing the maximum tax
at 81. The figure will admit of debate,
but the idea of placingno limit should
not for a moment be considered:
Whether the figure be 81, 50 or 50 it
should be set by the Convention, and
no disaster could befall the interest
in this direction from wildcat leg
islatiOn.

The above tribute to Southern

Roosevelt. the new President of the

warm place in every true Southern
heart for him. The truth of his
words are attested by the general

utteranceis testimony of thefact that
heis capable of risingabove sectional
prejudice, and willing to let him wear
the crown who merits it. There Is
an inspiration in these words OF Mr.
Roosevelt which should stir every pa
triOtic soldier who followed Lee and
Jackson, and which cannot fail tore
ceive an echo of admiration and good
will from the Southern heart for their
author. 1t is peculiarly fortunate
