Petition ! or a New Road.

A petition was filed with the board
of county commissioners Wednesday
noon, asking for the opening up of
new road a mile long east of lola, and
giving a new way into the city.
The road starts at the half section
line, a half mile south of the northeast
corner of section SO, township "a,
range lS and runs mile west of the
west line of section SO. In plain Eng
lish it starts a half mile south of
the section corner just west of the
Rock creek bridge, runs one mile
west, coming across Rock Creek at a
fine natural ford and striking the sec
tlon road which runs south through
Bricktown at the south end Of Brook
lyn place.
AS stated above there is a fine,
solid rock, natural ford at the point
on the creek where this proposed road
will strike. The petition was asked
for with view to securing a new
road into lola from the east so that
teams can reach town without passing
along the dangerous old east road
which has switches or railroads on
both sides and the electric line down
the south edge.
The board received it and allowed
the petition and the regular process of
opening up roads will be pursued in
this case. 1t is an important matter
for lola and should be urgently
pressed to completion.

Flag Decorations March T..
To the Editor of The Evening Star

10 the Editor OF Inc Evening star:
Does ii not seem to be the proper thing
TO buy IN Washington the $500 flags which
the inaugural committee street decora-
tons contemplate presenting to occupants
of avenue buildings? On occasion such
as this 1t would certainly seem to he just
and right to bestow all patronage possible
upon home industries. especially when
they are doubtless able to execute any
order given them.
Not only this, but the effect Of the use
of the very cheaply made muslin print flags
which are under consideration would be to
decidedly cheaper the character of the dis
play and very materially detract from the
decorative and best features of the occa siou.
The matter Of uniformity or sameness 1t
must readily be conceded, Is very much less
to be desired than a variety-a good-natured
rivalry In artistic and unusual decorative
effects, which must and will produce
vastly more beautiful and attractive result
than could possibly be attained by the use
of the cheaply made flag proposed. And
there can be no doubt that every occupant
of an avenue building will gladly avail him
self Of the opportunity for making the most
Of the decorative possibilities presented.
Business Washington has never been found
wanting in this respect. and never will be.
By all means let us not cheaper the oc-
casion by placing limit of mediocrity upon
the avenue decorations. But if it seems
best. in the wisdom of the committee ON
street decorations, to use d profusion of
flags of uniform size. l would suggest that
the cheap stamped muslin article be elimi-
mated from the proposition, and that the
81. 800 or so necessary for the purchase be
spent In Washington

DEVICE TO WARN MARINERS.
An IaseatiOn That Is Designed to
Prevent ShipSvrecks.

During the past two years there have
been many wrecks Of vessels navigating the
coasts OF British Columbia and Alaska.
Complaints have been made to Consul Dud-
ley at Vancouver. Il. c., by mariners en-
gagged In the northern trade that the coasts
north Of Vancouver are not properly lighted.
and that tha waters IN that region have not
been - fully sounded as safety TO vessels
requires. In report to the State Depart
ment on the subject Consul Dudley calls at
tenticr 20 an invention for preventing ship
wrecks. which. if 1, will accomplish the re-
suits claimed. he says, Is undoubtedly
needed along the northern Pacific coasts.
Tie forwards the following account of the
device in question:
IAN Invention Is now being investigated
by the marine authorities and navigators
at Southe nd-onSea which. IL 1t may not go

weathers when even flashing light might

be urheard. metallic conductor Is fixed
on al elevation ashore or light snip or

waves are transmitted over zone which
has radius of seven miles. All vessels
within that area which are fitted with re-
ceivers are warned of their proximity to
danger. the distance and the point of the
compass being registered. At the same time
bell rings. and the receiving Instrument
records the name of the place that Is being
approached. The automatic part of the in
vention consists OF steel bearings with a
number of teeth which pass a Morse
rransmitter. No operators are needed The
instrument or machine works absolutely au-
Dramatically. In its elementary principles
the system resembles Marconfs method of
wireless teiegraphy. but In detail the sys-
tenn Is essentially different. The committee

Enthusiastically Endorsed the invention after
