ROAD ORGANIZATIONS.
Value of United Effort to Promote
the Good Roads Cause.

Hon. ". II. Moore, pres dent Of the
National Good Roads association, in an
address delivered before the good
roads convention Of Mississippi spoke
Of the varied interests affected by I'M
proved highways.
He said that the people should
awaken to the spirit Of the times and
get away from the OK team methods Of
their forefathers and meet the modern
conditions imposed by the present
civiliza ton and by the present business
conditions. He spoke of the relation
of the cities to the country districts
and said that the theory that the farm
ers should alone bear the cost of road
construction was an exploded idea;
that it was the duty of the cities to
help the farmers improve the country
roads, as ii is of vital interest to the
cities to lessen the cost of production
of the necessities Of life.
Every supervisor, said he, who does
not work the roads as he should is a
thief, and every day that he fails to en-
force work on the roads he is stealing
from the county which employs him
and provides by law for his labor, for
when you pay your money for any
thing, no matter whether it be for gro
ceries, dry goods or roads, you should
get value received. He said that the
only way in which values could be
gained was to thoroughly organize all
interests and by sending delegates to
the state convention formulate
scheme of legislation which will Ell
able the people to force the supervisors
to 90 their duty. He also advocated
the appointment of a state road engi-
necr. 10 lie located at Jackson, and
county engineer in each county, who
Ould establish Il uniform system all
tlroU~'. 'tr state. He promised the
"OrVtn i0n tl3at if they were to organ
il, til! W..t.'i be in 4 position to die
tate tlt,' a;t.t;.,.e Of their legislators,
bot, STATE nd national. His Gnal adj
vice WAS for organization. agitation,
education and legislation.

LIVELY LITTLE TIME
City Politics Is Picking up
Very Fast Now.
Contests Are Scheduled in Third
Ward and for Council
man-at-Large.

City politics is this; A literally signed
petition, double, is out announcing that
Barber Irwin is contrasting Barber Dumdl
for councilman in the Second ward.
Chas. F. Stuart of the Second will
make race against Hugh Wheeler OF
the Third for counciman-at large.
There is a double petition out for this,
but some authorities claim that legal
technitalies stand in the way
Whether or not this is a bubble is yet to
he learned by the people supporting the
Independent" ticket.
In the Third ward it is understood
that G. B. Carter will be brought out as
an independent to contest with
Mr.. Barroll. Whether or not this is idle
talk The Gazette can hardly say. The
election next Tuesday will tell the story.
Legally speaking, there are claims
that the petitions to be presented today
will not hold water; but these sayings
may be only partisan.
There are reasons to believe that
Tuesdays fight at the polls will be more
or less warm in a good natured way
There is no doubt that people will argue,
but not grow angry.

MIGHTY BEAR SLAYER.
Sheepherder Killed and Routed a
Whole Flock of Bruins,

George Aschenbrenner, q sheepherder
employed by William Patterson, who
has kept bis flock in the mountains of
Bear creek, one OF the tributaries of the
POtlach, told CORY bear tale when he
struck civilization at Palouse on his way
out to the winter ranges. He easily
takes the hide for the seasons bear
yarns and proves himself a gallant gen
tleman in defense of the eve lambs. He
tells that during the long summer DAYS
and short nights he often missed sheep
or two or found their mutilated car
casses. While out counting the black
sheep in his flock recently, to make sure
that none had strayed, Aschenbrenner
was amazed to find that he had four
more blacks" than he was entitled to.
While cOgitating over the state of affairs
he noticed that there was great cOmmo-
ton in the flock, and that four bears,
black and hairy, were raising havoc
among his white and woody ones.
The valiant herder, according to his
story, was fortified with only mere
popgun in the shape of 44-ealiber six
shooter, but his sense of propriety was
shocked and he ordered and obeyed a
charge on the enemy in single file. To
the valiant belong the spOils of war.
Two bears fell in mortal agony in quick
succession, and two more fed the battle
field before he could reach their range.
Aschenbrenner is the hero of the hour on
the Wlnona plains, where he is now in
stalled in winter quarters.

A GRASSY STORY.
Where the Seed Game From To
Plant the Courts Estate.

Faint reminders of William Mcdonald
and his thriftiness while Judge of Whit
man cOunty's superior court were
brought in Wednesdays mails. Many
of the lawyers who practiced before this
court received in big official envelopes of
a Manila cast of color polite requests
from chief clerk of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington City to report
their individual success from bronze
grass seed furnished them year before
last by the department, and hoping
their crops fiourished; also that it would
be impossible to furnish them with
Turkestan alfalfa seed before next year.
1t will be remembered that Judge Me-
Donald acquired tract of land on the
outskirts of Colfax soon after his eleva-
ton to the bench, and that, until he
sold out a few weeks ago, he was pro-
fuse and verbose in extolling the virtues
OF bis grass plot and his own enterprise
in making many blades OF grass grow
where none grew before. 1t now comes
to light that the lawyers were induced
to permit the Use of their names to pro-
cure Tree government seed and turn it
over to the honorable court for sprOut-
ing. The attorneys are now in guam
dairy as to how to make a report to the
bureau OF grassOlogy, but it is rumored
that bar meeting will be called and a
committee appointed to visit the late
judges late estate and report as to
whether or not the grass has gone to
seed as badly as the Judge has po-
litically.
Whether the courts political friends in
back precincts were also utilized in this
brilliant display of judicial knowledge in
order to fill a mail car and save the
price has not yet come to light.
