Roads in Bad Shape.
The rural mail carriers and stage

pretty bad condition, being bare in
some places and badly drifted in
others, making it impossible to use
sleds and mighty tough for wagons.

Stone House Almost a. Cheap as W 90

Stone House Almost as Cheap as W God
1t is now quite possible to have the
exterior Of house built of stone at a
price not much greater than the cost
Of clapboards or shingles. This condi-
ton of things has come about through
the development Of the cement indus
try in this country. Given reasonable
access to a transportation line and a
sand bank, and the. possibility of
stone house is yours. One part Of &C.
ment, two or three parts of sand and
four to seven parts of gravel or broken
stone mixed together with enough wa
ter to make a paste will produce
stone that is next to granite in hard
ness and strength, not affected by fire,
as are marbles and limestones, and
much less susceptible to injury by
frost than sandstone.-Country Life In

Looking to Cortelyou.
AS republican members of congress

The question which they follow is as
to how long Mr.. Cortelyou is going
to retain the Craftsmanship of the
republican national committee. Aside
from occasional discussion of the
good taste displayed by a member Of
the cabinet in holding on to this
purely political job, there doesn't APP

Many centuries ago the first monarch
Of the province of Malabar, in Hindu

WINTER COMES AT LAST.
NOT MUCH SNOW, BUT THE WIND

CUTS DELAYING TRAFFIC. 7

The storm last night was general
all over the northwest, if there is any

The wind seemed pretty strong last
night, but only got up a speed of 3s
miles an hour; however, it was fast
enough to make good sized drifts
and lots of hard work for the shovel
ers. The lowest point touched by the
mercury was above zero.
The trolley line was put out of COM
mission by the snow drifts yesterday
afternoon and the car stood in front
of Capt. Moorhouse's residence until
this, morning when it managed to
buck back to the capitol, where it
will remain during the storm.

4 Already the town is beginning to

is every Indication that the lobby
this winter will be one Of the most
formidable ever assembled at the ma

And again, in the event that Mr..
Roosevelt's ultimate decision is for
battle. the task cut out for him is
immeasurably greater than it would
be were things the other way about.
If it were the railroads that wanted
Legislation and the President who

II Mr.. Roosevelt fights the senate,

will have to deliver blows straight

stab the president in the back and all
the while. SO far as the public will be
able to discern, It will be piously en-
gagged in twirling its thumbs. It will

Washington, Nov. 28.No presi-
dent Of recent years has ever found
himself in more trying position
than that which Mr.. Roosevelt oc-
cupies today. He is going into fight
with the United States senate, arrog-
ant in its power, and he lacks even
the united support of his own official
family. M 445. s. n ... #S$:fs
On the question Of legislation for
the regulation Of railroad rates, Sec
rotary Root, the member of the
cabinet ia whom the president has
greatest confidence, is reliably re-
ported as having advised and urged a
compromise with the senate OPPOSE
tion. Senator Knox, formerly attor-
ney general and now Mr.. Roosevelt's
right-hand man on the senate floor, is
said to have joined in the representa-
lions Of Mr.. Root. .ssa
Messrs. Root and Knox have not
taken this stand because they lack
accord with the presidents convic-
tions. The reasons which animate
them are even more discouraging.

have reached the conclusion that Mr..
Roosevelt will lead forlorn hope il
he persists in trying to put through
his program in its entirety. BY com
promising, they argue, some ground

tors are compelled to choose between.
open battle and complete surrender,
the administration may lose all.
Weak Nneed Senator'S.
This phase Of the situation has de-.
veloped only during the past few
days. When senators began to arrive

election and to talk for publication
about the work Of the coming session,
1t was disclosed that q number Of
influential statesmen whose attitude
had been more or less In doubt could
be counted on as supporters OF the
presidents policy. It began to look
as IL the tide had turned and that

mand that the administrations rate
program be enacted into law. Then
came Elkins, and Foraker, and AID
rich and other senate leaders whose.
views, differing from those Of the
~president. are not to be changed by
pablic clamor. They announced that.
they stood pat and would fight the
thing to finish. Their attitude
stopped the stampede, and weak
kneed senators who have reached
town this week are still weak In the
I knees. They have relapsed To their
old policy Of keeping mum and watch
