ROAD WORK DONE
Old System to Be Abolished
in January.
THREE DISTRICTS IN COUNTY
Many Applications for Appointment
as Supervisors on File With
Commissioners.
THREE DISTRICTS IN COUNTY

The fall work on roads in Walla
Walla county is about completed and
it ends the last year of the old plan OF
everybody's working out his road tax,
which has been in vogue ever since
modern roads have been worked UP
to this time the county has been divid-
ed into 81 road districts, each with a
supervisor elected by the people resid-
ing in the district.
Beginning January 1, there will be
but three road districts in the county
and the road supervisors are to be
appointed by the county commission
ers. There are many applications on
file for the positions and the commits
sioners will have a trying time in Sc
lecting the appointees from the large
number of efficient persons who are
after the jobs. Among the present
supervisors that would be willing to
continue the work of road building are
J. M. Fielder Andrew Taylor, J. J..
Cummings, Angus Mckay, H. F. Clo-
dius, F. M. Hedger c. M. Rice and T.
c. Cullen. In addition to these L. Lam
ming, at present the county bridge
builder John Fuller and M. Mcdonald
have also been mentioned as candi-
dates. The county commissioners will
make the appointments at the next
regular meeting to be held the first
Monday in December.
Under the new system all work on
the county roads will be hired, and the
farmers will pay their road tax to the
county treasurer at the same time he
pays his other taxes. The county COM
are confident that they will
be able to accomplish more and bet
ter work under the provisions of the
new law. Hereafter all the work will |
be done under the supervision of the |
commissioners and the county sur
veyor.

The success achieved the first year
is a matter of cOnSidera BILE satisfaction
to the association taking into consid-
Grafton that the Lewiston association
which has been in existence several
years run considerably behind and the
tnters state association of Spokane
barely cleared expenses, although the
attendance at both fairs was consider
able in excess of last year.
In increasing the capital stock Of the
association from $4,000 to $4,000 the
directors and stockholders have in
mind the maturing Of plans laid out
when the association was first forced
| to make the annual Walla Walla annu-
al fair and race meet the one big event
Of Eastern Washington if not the
| whole state. The proceeds to be de-
| rived from the sale of the additional
stock will go toward erecting a fair
pavilion for agricultural and horticul-
tural exhibits, the erection of new
stables and the identifying of the
grounds. The grounds about the en-
trance and leading to the stables and
grandstand, are to be seeded down to
blue grass and a large number OF
Pretty driveWays will be laid out and
| the grounds made as attractive as
possible. With ample water supply this
will be possible.
TT is the intention of the associa-
ton to place the grounds in as attrac-
tive a condition as possible" Secretary
Caswell said this morning. "To dc
| this, however, we will be compelled tC
raise funds either by increasing the
capital stock or some other means
| Next year we want a pavilion, addi-
tiOnal stables and the present build
ings painted and fitted up. In clear
ing nearly $4,000 think the association
has done exceedingly we'll, inasmucf
as other associations in the state have
either run behind or else barely clear
ed expenses. The success achieved is
an indication that the Walla Walls
valley will support nicely an annua
fair and race meet, which I believe
can be made a state event each year
The horsemen who participated il
the race meet this year left Walls
Walla with nothing but the kindlies
| feelings for the management and tn,
city. The association lived up t,
every agreement made and by doin.
this made it. certain that next yea
will see the biggest race meet her
held in the state in many years."

yenutiruI Indian Women.

It is said that some of the most beau tiful women of the world are to be found among the Indians of the Te nuantepec isthmus in Mexico. They are of mixed blood, Spanish and h. dian, though the Indian traits generally predominate.
 Their costume for high and holy days Is somewhat extraordinary. They wear skirts of satin or silk, heavily lace trimmed, and with short sleeved waists which may or may not be of the same material The headdress is the prlncf pal fea being an immense affair oi accordion plating stifiiy laundered, II is usually white and comes nearest ID point of resemblance to the headdress of a Sister of Mercy.

POULTRY POINTERS.

The best way to feed corn to young chickens Is cracked or crushed.
 A good dust bath will go far toward keeping fowls in good condition.
 Clear, raw corn meal wet with water is not d good feed for young ducklings at any time.
 Destroy the nest of a sitting hen as soon as the chickens are day olu. Give her q new nest and burn the old one.
 Separated early and raised up by themselves. bullets are worth at least % per cent more for use than 1T al- lowed to run with lot of cockerels'
 On the farm if more than one breed is kept 1t is necessary that they be kept separate, and one or the other must be kept confined part of the time
 It is important to keep the young turkeys dry until they are about eigh' weeks old, and even then they shoulc be strong aud well developed. Damp ness is almost always fatal to yount turkeys.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

The chemical forces are nearer aRln to the vital forces than to the physical forces. A body weighing one pound on earth would weigh twenty-seven and a hair pounds upon the sun.
 The mechanical force of the sound emitted from 5,O0O,000 to 1O'0oo'ooo comets would equal but one horse power.
 The highest speed which matter has been known to reach is that attained by the eruption of hydrogen ana other poses from the sun, which Is at times several hundred miles tesecond.
 The star Sirius, which is shown to De about double the size of our sun, emits from forty to sixty fold more light than the sun owing to its matter being much more diffused.
 Two hundred and eighty stars north of 20 declension have a velocity through space of twenty miles per sec ond. The speed of our solar system Is but 12.4 miles per second.
