the legislature was one that is OF
peculiarly important interes. to the
promoters of good roads in North
Dakota. This was Senate Bill 21s,
introduced by Senator Main, Of
Towner county, who for many years
was commissioner of his county. The
bill, which will become a law in the
usual way, is considered by all inter
ted in the good roads proposition to
be one of the most important passed
at the session. The bill abolishes
highway labor, except the, road poll
tax, and provides for the expenditure
OF all the tax levy by contract, by
and under the supervision Of the
county commissioners. 1t does not
change existing laws in civil town.

townships, only to the counties and
portions of counties unorgauized. A
similar bill was introduced by thu

plying only to civil townships, bu

close OF the session, it did not. becom,
a law. Towner county, under a levy
of 6 mills will raise $40, 600 annually
and Senator Main figures that under
the new law 80 per cent more worl
on the roads will be accomplished al

before. ~

ROADS AND BRIDGES.

provements in Public Highways,

Edmore News: County Commits
sioner E. P. Day, of this district,
arrived in town last Saturday and re-
mained until Monday morning look
ing after county matters. In response
to a query al to what, if any, i'm
provements were to be made in the
vicinity of Edmore, Mr.. Day stated
that the most important was the erec-
tion Of two steel bridges near here.
One is to be north and east of town
across the coulee neal the line be-
tween Oakland and Neland. This
bridge will give the settlers northeast
Of here easy access to Edmore and
will save several miles of travel dur
ing extreme wet weather.
The other bridge will be on the road
about a mile south and a few miles
west. There is also a deep coulee at
that point which the board has de-
cided to bridge in the interests of the
farmers beyond there and also for the
good of Edmore. In all, the board
has ordered fourteen steel bridges.
The contracts have already been let
and work will commence as o % as
the frost is out Of the ground.
In addition to the two bridges con.
siderable work will be done on the
roads in this vicinity. The members
Of the board realize that this part Of
the country is deserving of attention
and az far as is in their,power all neces'
saryimprovements will be looked after.
Mr.. Day still entertains the idea O.

and stated last Sunday that he would

The CedarS of Lebanon.

There are only about four hundred
of the Cedars of Lebanon left," says
Lewis CASTOR Leary in Scribner's.
High up on the rocky slopes, Hadrian
sculpiured his imperial anathema
against all who should cut these
sacred trees. The Maronite peasants
almost worship them, and call them
the 'Cedars of the Lord; and recent
governor of the Lebanon has sur
rounded them by a great wall so that
the young shoots may not be injured
by rowing animals. Yet century by
century, their number grows less.
But if the cedars are few in num-
Der, these few are of royal blood. They
are not the largest of trees, though
some of the trunks measure over forty
feet around. Their beauty lies in the
wide-spreading limbs, which often
cover a circle two or three hundred
feet in circumference. Some are tall
and symmetrical, with beautiful hori-
zontal branches; others are gnarled
and knottsd, with inviting seats in the
great forks, and charming beds on the
thick foliage of the swinging bougEs

turning sharply towards the little ma
tron, do you prefer that to the gay
season just opening? And the trip

The ambassador sighed deeply, and
with his head cooked on one
side he allowed his glance to roam
round the room and rest upon
the dignified, sweet woman chairman
of the meeting. She had taken no part
in the discussion; but, then, she
couldn't.
With two hops the stork stood be-
fore her and lifting one wing dropped
the bundle upon her lap.

the others in the room, write long

had gone. He required no directions
as to the route to Poverty street. It

tree is never seen, except where light

a great Dough of one tree has grown
into a neighbor, and the two are so
bound together that it is impossible
to say which is the parent trunk. Per-
haps the unusual strength and vitality
of the cedars are due to their slow
growth. When little sprout, hardly
waist high, is said to be ten or fifteen
or twenty years old, one cannot help
asking, What must be the age of the
great patriarchs of the grove? It IN
hard to tell exactly. BY the aid of q
microscope have counted more than
seven hundred rings on q bough only
thirty inches in diameter. Those who
have studied the matter more deeply
think that some of these trees must be
more than a thousand years old. In
