tion of the little brown men from the
orient.
Military observers profess that with
the actual surrender Of Port Arthur
win come peace, but those who have
studied best the Russian character and
powers of recuperation doubt this. The
great czar has firm belief in the
power Of the church, and he will not
yield to temporary reverses and sue
for peace. He cannot afford to. The
spirit Of unrest which is gathering in
his domains will rule his actions to a
great extent, and whether he can
meekly submit to the terms imposed
by the victors is doubtful
The common people of Russia are
not warriors, but they believe that the
great empire Of which they are citi-
zens is able to cope with the allied
powers of the earth. The resources of
the country are almost unlimited, and
the struggle can be prolonged indef-
nitely, although the sacrifices would be
terrible to contemplate. japan would
be willing to arrange peace if it could
with proper dignity, but whether that
chance will come to the Mikado is very
doubtful. The bear has been wounded,
in purse and honor, humiliated before
the world and trampled upon with a
It will require peculiar
balm to allay the sores and heal the
wounds recently suffered.

HuM1L1AT1oN on RUSSIA.

After months of persistent effort on
the part Of the Japanese army and
fleet, the defenses at Port Arthur have
nearly succumbed to the sharp aud ter
rife attacks, and the proud Russians
are compelled to admit that their days
an the modern fortress are numbered,
The very best engineering systems
known to warfare were used in the
construction of the many forts, and
every possible natural advantage was
utilized with view of making il a
second Gibraltar.
The Notifications were manned with
the heaviest guns that are made, and
Rnssia felt secure in the thought that
the city was safe from the attacks and
could hold out for an indefinite period.
The Japanese generals undertook an
almost impossible task, but-they have
demonstrated that they We're equal to
a.. Lives counted for naught in the
murderous warfare that they have
waged and the loss of life has been
appalling. The world has viewed the
battles from afar, but has not failed to
marvel at the bravery and determine.

Road Maintenance.

In the maintenance of the streets and
roads so little experience has been ha'
on the part of the highway commits
sioners and the people in general that
it is usually thought that when road
is once built that it will maintain
itself. Many highway officers feel
this same way toward a bridge, and me-
glect to paint it, but even a bridge
built of iron, when neglected, loses its
strength, just the same as road built
of stone, if neglected, will go to pieces.
The real life of stone road is depend
ent upon the care which it receives dur
ing the first six months after it is fin
ished, and the perpetual attention
which it receives after that. Some
think that whon a road is completed
that if the loose stones are raked off
once in six months, that it will main
tain itself for three or four years,
and then the road can be resurfaced
with top dressing and steam roller,
and again become as good as new, and
ready to go three years longer without
attention. This method of caring for
roads is far from economical and sat
isfactory. The best way to maintain
road is, as soon as it is turned over
by the contractors, to engage a man
to take charge of five-mile section at
an agreed price per year, and put him
in charge of the road, providing him
with surface material, which is stored
at regular intervals on each side of the
road for resurfacing. This man goes
every day with his rake, his shovel, his
hoe and his wheelbarrow the entire
distance of the road, rain or shine. He
removes the loose stones, he keeps the
shoulders low at the side of the road,
so that the water passes freely over
them to the ditch, he keeps the sluices
opened, he fills the depressions, fills the
ruts, and repairs each spot as fact as
the surface dressing wears off or blows
away. 1t is this constant attention
which keeps the road always in good
order, and at the least expense to the
community.
Our American road builders may be
in handling stone roads,
but it won't take long to adopt the
best methods, which long years of usage
in Europe have proven to be the most
economical.

A NEW STREET POLICY.

Tt must be plain to the business men
and property owners that new policy
of street Improvement should be
adopted by this city.
For thirty years the present policy
BIAS prevailed, which is no policy at
all, but has cost enough to build fine
pavements.
The past year the street work fell in.
TO the hands Of conservative inAu-
enees, to put IL mildly, and it has been
gravel, gravel, gravel.
II has not even been intelligent
gravel-screened gravel, but the un-
screened river gravel, sand and mud,
mixed by the hand of nature.-
1t ought not take a sledge-hammer
60 drive it into the craniums of the city
council that better system is badly
mceded.
If streets are to be paved at the ex-
pense Of the abutting property-then
there must be new policy adopted of
using the street funds.
II the frontage is to grade, gravel
Macadam or pave the street, then the
property should be relieved of further
tax, or that tax should be employed TO
clean and sprinkle the streets, and
keep them in repair, Let the city coun-
ell consider If the time has come for a
anew policy.

After the county convention at Douglas Sat urday candidates nominated will find it up to themselves to make a strong rustic in the precinct to the enc of get ting the vote fully registered. If they do not take a band and with the party workers see to it that the voters arc rushed to the offices of the registrars and got on the register, as stated above, the vote in the percinct will fall far short of what it, ought to be. That full registration will not come voluntarily is aot because of lack ,i interest in the Democratic ranks, but simply an evidence of the habit of procrastinatiou that is a strong feat ure in humanity in general with re gard to matters of this kind.

People interested in getting out tac full vote at the polls in this precinct in November have occasion to feel alarm because of the slowness with which registration is proceeding.
 This is in contradistinction of re- ports given out earlier and justified at the time, but is nevertheless correct with regard to the situation at this immediate date.
 Realization of the truth will come with more promptness if consideration is taken of the fact that registra :: m will close in just 26 days from dale That means October IS, which makes the 21 days before election fixed Dy law for the closing of registration.
