New Plan For Good Roads.

North Yakima, Feb. ls.-The county
commissioners have adopted a plan OF
road building that viii add greatly to
the benefits OF the roads Of the valley
II carried out. Under the new law OF
the last legislature, the road taxes are
handled by the county commissioners
through three road supervisors. There
Is now in Yakima county over $4,000 to
be used in road making. The plan
adopted is to expend the money in
making permanent improvements and
build good roads radiating from the
larger centers of population. The COM
missioners have set apart the roads to
be so improved and the different super
visors will follow their instructions.
The first work viii be done on this
road leading out of this place to the
Selah valley. 1t viii be graded and
graveled from this city to the Naches
river. n distance of one and half
miles, and later the Improvements win
be continued to the Selah valley.
The next road to receive such improves
ments viii be the one to Yakima city
and thence to the reservation. This is
the heaviest travelled road in the coun-
try and Is consequently the worst. The
road to Mckee win then be given the
same attention Gravel -wili be used
in each instance.
After the fund for this year is all ex-
pended the work viii be delayed till
next year, when the improvements will
be continued and in this way the whole
valley in few years will have NUM-
ber of extra good roads leading into
the larger centers of population,

believe we should receive more cOa-

government are treated, and want you

District Attorney Youngs and Assist
ant District Attorney chatfieid were
seen this morning IN regard to the
protest Of the sailors. They said that
the men were in jail by order Of the
court. and that they had assumed their
end of the bargain willingly. They
said further that the sailors, so long
as they were in Jail, were under the
charge OF the sheriff and not in the
hands Of the federal officials. All that
Uncle sam had to do with them now,
it was said. is to take them out when
they are wanted in court. At present
they aresinder Jail discipline.
Mr.. Chatfield said that he had as
yet received no complaint or heard Of
any. When asked II the federal au-
thorities could do anything in the mat
ter he said; I'VE win have to wait for
that until complaint comes in.

friends Of the men they are not per-

jail.
The men are detained in the civil
section Of the building One OF their

A representative was sent 10 the Jail

John Nelson said:
1--WE don't understand the treatment
we are receiving at the hands Of the
federal authorities We are detained
here as witnesses. We do not object
to that, but we do object to being
treated as prisoners. We have been
here 2S days. During the first few
days we were treated with some con-
sideration. We were permitted to at
tend church services. Two weeks ago
that privilege was cut OF. and we have
been locked up here ever since. While
at sea we are not permitted to attend
church, but we should like to do so
when ashore. Services are held every
Wednesday and Sunday, and we think
no harm would be accomplished by
permitting us to do so. Then again

through culpable carelessness or me-
glect, responsible for conditions which
were the primary cause of the death
Of one or more persons in the audience.
Having determined who of the the
ater management was responsible for
the absence of adequate fire protection,
the jury will face the question as to
whether public officials who failed in

are also emenable to homicide charge.

misfeasance. The jury has accepted

what the Goat Is Good For.

1t is only few years since the goat
acquired responsibility among the gem
erality of farmers, says the Farmers
Voice. They used to be thought of no
account unless for their hides-worth
about 10 cents apiece. Prejudice
against them was even so strong that
their meat was thought by perhaps the
majority of people to be unfit to eat
In fact, there are many yet who will
not eat it.
1t may be that some of this preju-
dice was acquired by the atrociously
vile smell of the old-fashioned goat,
and all will agree that it would be
hard to cultivate a liking for that kind
But somehow or other the modern,
well-cared-for goats do not smell that
way, indeed they haYe no offensive
odor at all any more than any other
stock.
But his goatship was not always to
remain unappreciated: his flesh now is
well known TO be as good as mutton
and he accordingly brings a better
price on the market than he used to
do. Probably the greatest cause of
his popularity, however, is the nice sill
very fleeces that are annually secured
from the Angoras. This wool, or mo-
hair, as it is called, is used in the
manufacture of fine dress goods, and
when of the best quality brings a fancy
price. Thus the goat is valuable both
for wool and meat.
But he has value still greater than
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-24

THE fatal disease of fowls, known
as cholera, is still about as speedy to
Kill and as hard to cure as ever But
more is being found out along that
line year by year. The process of cur
ing or making proof against the dis
ease by incubation, same as for small
pox in human beings, has been tried
successfully, but is as yet hardly prac-
teal for poultry keepers. Something
may be done in the way of prevention.
1t is suspected that the disease is
sometimes carried from yard to yard
by such birds as sparrows, and pos
slbly, also, by insects. Hence in dis
leased neighborhoods anything that
reduces the opportunities of spread in
such ways is a protection. Care
should be taken that it is not con-
Veyed from one yard to another on
the shoes of attendants. Cleanliness
and use of disipfectants is always a
preventive of all such diseases.
In case of an outbreak about all
that amounts to much in a practical
way is to instantly separate the sick
birds and kill them or keep them out
of the way clean up the premises,
disinfect with sulphate of copper in
water. 1t is a filth disease, same in
this respect as human cholera, and
Will probably disappear if the time
ever comes when all poultry keepers
are forced by law or public opinion
to keep their fowls in a decent con-
dition'
