OpCfiHl 70 me AfctOJ,
Herrin, H.. July 9i.-As am sub
scriber from Srquachoe Valley | will
write a few words from this place TO let
the readers know how work is up here.
Work is good up here and we are
working every day. am working com
pany work at 81 % per day, and it is
just like sending home for money, the
only difference being you are not out
postage stamp.
Diggers make from $3.50 to $500 per
day The water at this place Is good
we'll and cistern wvter. The people
seem clever enough to strangers There
are several churches here, and good
Sunday schools. There is an attend
ance Of 1875 scholars at one school,
Now, Mr. Editor, the people OF Whit
we'll are all fooled up about this coun-
try. They are scared up about the gas
in tho mines. Thore is some gas in
some of the mines, and there are just
lots Of mines that haven't any gas.
Now, readers, there is plenty of work
up here, and good work too, and safe as
the Whitwell mines. am working in
mine that has been running seven
years and has just killed one man now.
That doesn't look like there was much
more danger up here than there is in
Tennessee. So, to the people OF Whit
we'll we say for the sake Of your family
and friends get out Of that place and get
to work. Let the company rest awhile
and when they get ready for you they
will lot you know. 1 said all of you,
and that is just what | meant, as have
found a better place for work now.
There was someone who went back
from up here and told the wrong tale
about the gas. There is gas and plenty
of it in some of the mines, but you don't
have to work in the gassy mines. II
you don't want to there are plenty OF
mines that haven't any gas, and wan
men now
To the miners, don't fold your arms
and get on the bread wagon. Get out
and get to work, IL. q. 4.

Liberals New President.

The United States maintains a min
lister to Liberia. He is Rev. Ernest
Lyon. a Baltimore man. The other
day, Minister Lyon reports. Liberia
solemnly inaugurated new president
named Thomas Barclay. Liberals con-
stitution is easy and permits the coun-
try to be governed by people born upon
foreign soil. Barclay came TO Liberia
in early childhood from Barbados, in
the West Indies, and even as an infant
showed surprising ability in politics.
1t is told OF Barclay that being with
his nurse and some other children near
his age one day, some candy was about
to be distributed, when it was discov-
erred that there was one piece too few
to go round. whereat Tommy Instant
ly had magnanimous solution for the
problem. let the youngest be served
first" he said proudly, planting his lit
tie hand upon his infant bosom. But
when the candy came to be attacked it
was discovered that by calculation of
incredible rapidity Tommy had per-
ceived that the youngest was himself.
Later on, when he had got to be Sec
retary of state. he performed the re-
markable feat of maintaining balance
I'm the treasury of the republic. For the
probity and skill thus shown a CRATE
full people made him president. And
it is safe to say that Liberia is heart
lily and unanimously glad that Barclay
has the job. For while there are only
$4,000 English speaking negroes in the
country, the rest of the population is
composed of 100000 native and saw
age African blacks. Still Liberia, as
little republics go, is surprisingly well
ordered. For while numerically small,
the descendants of the original settlers
from the United States are still SUI
preme in power. Revolutions are COM
paratively few and business booms.-

The youngster looked her majesty

PRODUCTION of an ordinance declaring
certain citizens common drunkards."
The ordinance passed, placing six upon
the dry list. Other names would have
been added, but it was deemed wise to
wait and give them chance to reform.
The city charter provides that any sa-
loon keeper or any person in his en-
ploy selling or giving liquor to such
persons shall have his license revoked,
and said license shall not be reissued
to such saloon keeper for a period Of
one year. A penalty is also prescribed

FOR BETTER ROAD LAWS.
State Association Committee to Recon-
mend Bill to Legislature.


Salem. Aug. l9.-In accordance with
resolution adopted by the last meet
ing OF the State Good Roads Associa-
tion held In Portland last year, Pres
ident Scott, OF the association, has an
nounced the personnel Of the legisla-
ton committee, as named by him, the
purpose OF which committee will be
to draft and offer to the state legisla-
i ture such legislation as is deemed
necessary to the best interests of the
good roads movement in this state.
The committee follows; NJ. A. Miller,
OF Lebanon; c. J. Smith, Of Pendleton;
w. w. Steiwer, OF Fossil; J. H. Albert,
OF Salem; NJ. A. wertz, of Grants
Pass.
Among matters suggested to the
committee, to cover which 1t Is pre-
sumed bills will be drafted for pre-
sentation 10 the legislature, is the mat
ter OF public road construction by con-
| vict labor, subject which has been
agitated quite freely the past year. As
a result of the building Of the road be-
tween the penitentiary and asylum
farm, which is nearing completion and
Is considered one OF the best roads In
the state. this is now thought quite
practicable.
other prospective laws which the
committee will also probably draft is
one permitting the county courts to
condemn property for vhe purpose OF
STRENGTHENING out roads, and another
for the purpose of requiring petitioners
for the establishment of new roads to
pay the costs of survey and viewing.
President Scott anticipates rousing
big convention this year. and that there
will be an attendance of several hum
dred delegates. The county judge and
commissioners of each county the
mayor of every town or city, and the
supervisor of every road district in
the state are considered ex-officio del
sgates to the convention. besides the
lcounty judges and mayors are expect
ed to appoint delegations of 10 mem
bers. President Scott is urging the ad-
visibility of making very extensive
good roads display at the state fair
He thinks that all dealers in and man.
ufacturers of road machinery should
make a special effort to place their
machinery upon display at the fair.
He says that one or both of the Marion
county road rollers and rockcrusher
will be placed on exhibition. and that
II is quite probable, if arrangements
lcan be made. object lessons will be
given in building of permanent roads.
