From The Springfield republican.
Whether a man named Higgins or one named
Odell Is Governor OF New York State at present Is
open TO question. The weight OF opinion seems TO
specify Odel. Now that he has returned from
Europe and reached Albany the extra legislative
session will assemble and proceed TO such business
as Mr. Odell, through Mr.. Higgins, Is pleased TO
submit for consideration.

those who were present received an in

the occasion was the banquet given II e

outside the state introduced by Pres.
Macdonald who proved himself past
master in the art Of presentation speech

New Dancer to the Heron.

Surgeons have long been seeking
for some material for sutures and llga-
lures which should be more satisfac'
tory than those at present In use,
which include catgut, kangaroo ten
don, silk worm gut. horse hair and sill
yer wire. DR.. Charles f. Kieffer has
recently used and suggests in a med
ical journal that the tendons OF the
cranes and heron make excellent SUI
lures and ligatures and seem to pos
sess some advantages over the mater
falls at present in use.
Should these suggestions be gener-
ally approved by physicians, birds OF
the heron group are threatened with a
new danger, which naturalists and
bird lovers will deplore. Some spe-
cies of heron have already so greatly
decreased in numbers that they are
even thought to be on the verge of ex-
tinction, and all have become much
less abundant than they formerly
were. The herons are not prolific birds,
the number of eggs in the nests being
small. The danger which threatens
this group is thus very real one

Small Reward for Pole-Finders.

Mr. Peary, in the Roosevelt, the most
powerful boat that ever steered for the
wintry seas of the Arctic region, is
about to make another try for the
pole" The commander Of the Roose-
welt admits in an interview that the
reward for the pole-fnder is largely
sentimental, and intimates that the
hunt for the pole is the real Joy of the
game. It is we'll for the world, after
all. thst it lacks not strenuous souls
who find part compensation at least for

because it is the greatest.-Boston

National Good Roads Convention
Held at Port Huron Last Week Profit
able Meet

The national good roads convention
held at Port Huron last week was at
tended by large number OF delegates,
coming from many states and from Can
ada. The enthusiasm that was mani
tested by those participating in the con-
vention was in marked contrast TO the
feeling exhibited in meeting held in
Pontiac a few years ago when Commits
sioner Earle was practically the only
one who evidenced any interest in the
subject
We take pleasure in presenting TO our
readers a cut of stone road built by
Port Huron township. This township
has within its limits 80 miles of this
class of road all built since 1900 These
roads are being built each year by cor
tract, and the road visited by the writer,
portion of which is shown here, was
contracted to be built for 81 500 per mile.
The construction is such that it is prac-
tically permanent. and while costing this
sum does not at the end cost more than
gravel road kept in good condition.
One particularly gratifying phase Of
the convention 70 Mr.. Earle was the
number of township highway commits
sioners in attendance. From Van Buren,
county were Township Highway Com
mssioners Orrin Cummins of Covert,

ON A FLYING MOTORBOAT.
Sensations Experienced by Yachts
man During an Exceedingly
Rapid Ride.

The sensations experienced on rid
yet produced are thus described by
yatchman who made the trial trip on
Napier III on the Thames few weeks
ago, reports the London Chronicle, in
which a speed equivalent to 31.26
miles an hour was attained, although
the boat is but forty feet long:
"As the boat gained in speed, fiat
tening her passengers against her
back supports, as the propellers grip
ped and fairly hurled her forward, the
mild roar of the engines assembled TO
a shrek; the sounds of her eight eX-
hausts smote the ear like the con-
tinuous reports of a machine gun, min
gled with the scream of the river
water, while the shore, dimly seen
through a veil of powdered spray, flew
by like train.
There was no swing or plunge, no
luTch or roll. The grand little craft
plowed on her way on an absolutely
even keel, and we had no sense of be-
ing driven, but a feeling as if boat
and crew were flying. There was absj-
lutely no sense of flotation, no water
borne feeling whatsoever. If one shut
ones eyes it was not difficult TO mag
inc oneself on some tearing vehicle
running swiftly on small rollers over a
smooth steel road. Sustained for the
first time, il is like no other expert
! ence TO be had in this world, but after
the first half minute or less there set
ties upon one quits delightful sense
of security and safety, SO evenly and
so truly does she run"
The successful trial of the Napier III
took place over measured nautical
mile under adverse conditions, there
being a strong wind and choppy sea.
Her time for a nautical mile against
! the tide was minues % seconds, and
with the tide. 2 minutes 1916 seconds.
! This corresponds in the one case TO
a speed of 2sS knots, or 29.9 land
miles. an hour, and in the other to
2714 knots, which is equivalent to
3126 miles an hour. The previous
best record in European waters with
this style of boat was a trifle under
% knots. and in American waters, 29.3
knots. This speed was made by the
Challenger at Lake Worth, in Febru-
airy. Since the Napier ii made her rec
ord French boat. the Palaisoto II,
has equaled il on the Seine.

as this one has been:
Dear neighbOrS and friends. cOnpratn-

May good cheer and good fortune ever

Our regrets we send that we cannot be
with you,
But infirmities warn us, beware the
night dew.
The weather is nice, which we all
much enjoy
After the dOWn-pOur that lawn parties
destroy,
But the rain it was needed, we will
not complain
OF little discomfort on account of

May the rainbow Of promise your life
steps attend
And the hopes that you cherish last
until life's end;
In your home with home jewels loving
and bright,
Along with the years make life s cares
seem light.
Industry and honesty brings it's re-
ward,
Though sometimes with all the toiling
seems hard,
There's a rest that awaits US when
earth's work is done,
When the dear Lord shall call to vel
come us home.
