up the loss of $500, the wages they
would have earned, they must work
one thousand days at he Increased
rate. In other words. they must give
more than three years of labor, not
counting Sundays, in order TO get
even. AT the end of three years they
will be where they would have been
at the expiration of the 100 days if
thy had continued to work instead of
going on strike.

The Des Moines Register and Lead
er contends that the farmers of Iowa
are better able to bear the expense
of good roads than are the farmers of
any eastern state. .There may be
some sufficient reason why Iowa should
not begin to build permanent high
way it says, but it is not because
good roads are out of our reach. They
will never be more within reach than
they are now, and they will never be
needed more than they are now. The
argument against them must be di-
rected al some more vulnerable point
than at their cost"

HAS NO NEWS
ABOUT MARINES
NO OFFICIAL ADVICES RECEIVED
BY ADMIRAL TERRY REGARD
ING MARINES FOR HONOLULU.

Admiral Terry the commandant of
the Naval station, has received no Off
cial advices regarding the detachment
Of marines that are to be ordered to
permanent duty at the local station
but there seems to be little doubt of
their coming.
When the marines arrive they will be
quarteded at the Naval Station. The
probabilities are however that the men
will be quartered in small cottages
about the grounds. The decision of
the Navy Department to send a de-
tachment of marines to this port is the
result Of a recommendation made by
Admiral Terry shortly after his ar
rival at Honolulu. He decided that a
detachment of marines regularly on
duty at the naval station was desirable
and made such recommendation.
The information regarding the de-
tachment being ordered to this place,
comes through press dispatches as the
Navy Department has not officially adj
Yised Admiral Terry regarding the
matter. 1t is not improbable that the
Marines may be sent here on the So
lace or the next Naval vessel that
come from San Francisco. Admiral
Terry will soon receive some adyices
regarding the matter however If the
report of the marines going to be or
dered to Honolulu on duty, is correct.
