iRgton has been given Lillis +. Smith
OF Endicott, Wash, for his crop OF
1904. The check is for s45,364.30. This
represents the value Of nearly $1,000

land this year. The larger portion OF
this was grown by Mr., Smith on 1900

after the work was finished, a similar
rain swept the road away and it is
again impossible, whereas, if proper
channel had been made for the water
all this trouble would have been avoid
ed and the expense of repairing the
damage would also have been saved.
No benefit whatever was derived from
repairing of this road in this instance
While we consider the new road
law of Washington has many desirable
features in it, yet it seems to me a
needless waste of time and energy to
build a good road and not employ an
efficient Waterman to examine and re-
pair little defects as they occur the
year round, summer and winter. To
sum all up, would it not be a good plan
for the state to employ competent en-
gineers to survey, giving proper grade
and establish all routes going to and
from the leading markets along the
most direct route and over the most
solid roadbed and the most practical
way that can be found, regardless of
whose alfalfa it crosses or the expense
to secure the right-ofway? This, of
course, must take some time.
In this way the roads would be put
in the right place. Then build per-
manent earth roads and keep the wa
ter from being absorbed by it and you
have a solid road for all practical pur
poses. We should not only talk but
act, and that soon, and get rid of the
nuisance of muddy roads so much of
the time.

into the milk at each feed. Gradually
the amount of skim milk and flax meal
is increased, so that by the end of the
fourth week the calf is getting heap
ing teaspoonful of flax meal and ten
pints of milk twice day. After the
first month the calf is given access
to a little hay and whole oats with
bran or shorts. Under this system
the calf always appears more hungry
after it's meal than before, but it is
better thus than to let it have larger
mess and suffer from scours.

More About Roads and Road Work.

(By ID. A. Peck1npah, F1Orenco.)
We watch with eagerness the fate
of the Latimer and Brownlow bills
now pending before our national legis-
lature. Both these bills refer to the
improvement of the public highways
of our land and also include an ap-
preparation by congress for all the
states according to their population
While this great scheme merits our
serious consideration we would not be
content to think that roads construct
ed by the states and aided by the ma
ton would be practical undertaking
without due care being exercised in
providing for the maintenance of such
roads after the construction of the
same. Who would think, after having
travelled great highways of European
countries that have been travelled for
centuries, that those roads could long
remain in their present state of pres
ervation without being kept in good
repair; or that such roads that have
been so long in building should be
left at the mercy of the elements and
swept away by the mountain torrents
The roads of Eastern Washington,
and referring particularly to Whitman
county, are disgrace to the state and
the people it represents. Our roads
are not laid out properly. We wallOw
through the mire on clay points while
we could have solid roads along the
flats. We meander around farms and
cross the divide at some high point
where nothing like a full load can be
hauled, simply because some rancher
wishes to have it so in order tC have
his farm in as few fields as possible.
1t is because of such rancherS we are
compelled to haul all our products to
market by a roundabout way, worry
ing man and team. With these hind
RANGES we must contend: The mire
on clay points in winter and long dis
lance in summer.
Good roads can be built and main
tanned with state with the resources
of Washington. Where there is a
will there is a way. With the gov
ernment's aid so much the better. Let
me relate an instance which illustrates
the utter folly and absurdity of build
ing roads of a temporary character:
A road that had been badly washed
by a c,oudburst had been source of
annoyance for months in winter. FL
nally large force of hands was en-
ployed to repair the road and con-
siderable amount of money was spent
in this way. Now, in less than week
