THE RED MOUNTAIN ROAD.

"A poublOu Sly nSu W lhO Slh
zens of Leavenworth and the sur
rounding country will be pre-
scented to the commissioners
court of Chelan county at its
next meeting asking them to ap'
propriate at least as much
as two thousand dollars
towards the building of a road
from this point to the summit of
the Cascade range near what is
known as Red Mountain. The
legislature made an appropria-
ton of four thousand dollars for
the building of this road from
Leavenworth to the summit, con-
ditional on the county appropriat-
ing a like amount. A similar
amount was appropriated for the
building of a wagon road from
Darlington, in Snohomish county
to the summit, to connect with
the road to be built from Leaven-
worth, to which like provision
was attached. We are told,
though not on authority, that
Snohomish county has, or will,
appropriate the amount neces-
sary to make the state appro-
Iriation available.
sThe country through which
the road will pass lies in the for
est reserve for a considerable
distance and is largely used by
sheep men for summer grazing.
Some four hundred thousand
sheep were grazed on this land
lsst summer. There are a num-
der of mines in the vicinity of
He'd Mountain on which a large
anount of development work has
Men done. Some recent work
has convinced the owners that

Worked if they could be made
accessible by wagon road. SO
Chat mschinery couldsbe moved
TO them. tits certain that a
large amount of machinery will
be shnoved testhese' mines the
present summer if the road is
built. ~ e
iLeavenworth is the nearest
railroad point and by far the
most practicable one from which
to build the road. We are in
formed by reliable persons that
the road can be built without
much difficulty as no streams of
any consequence will have to be
bridged!
This town is vitality interested
in the building of this road. 1t
opens up country which will be
tributary to Leayenworth. For
twenty miles ofsthe distance there
is already fairly good road.
For a distance of fifteen miles
the country is settled with
ranchers, all of whom come to
Leavenworth for their mail and
supplies. If the mines are open
ed up a large number of men
will be employed and consider
able traffic will be carried on all
the year round.
Those who are interested in
the mining property will prob
ably contribute as much as one
thousand dollars, the sheep men
will, or ought to contribute an
other thousand, and if the COM
missioners will makeup the differ
ence between what can be raised
byfsubscription and the amount
required the road will be built
this year. The court built two
bridges last year for the conven-
ienee of the settlers in the We
natchee valley who wanted to
get to Cashmere and Wenatchee
and as a matter of justice to the
people of Leavenworth they
oughtto make this appropriation.

A Hint to the Railroads.

At commencement exercises at the Chi
cago University the other day various
gifts. great and small, to the institution
were announced Among these was the
sum of 1900, received from various rail-
roads. the names Of which were not given,
the f1nd to be used for course of lee
lures In railway instruction in the college
of commerce and administration at the
university.
Just what line of instruction Will be
given the young railroaders we know not,
perhaps instruction In scientific road
building. but, wha tevcr It is, 1t is evident
that the railway officials are beginning to
see the necessity OF educating men espe-
cally for service In railway manage
ment generally, as 1t Is necessary to
teach boys In school for any life work.
The good roads problem. as applied to
dirt roads. would be half solved already.
IL ne had In every community men who
understand the scientific way of making
roads and OF expanding the appropra-
lions to the best advantage. Virginia
will never have good roads until Vir-
ginians make UP their minds to furnish
the money to build them, But Yirgnians
vii! never tax themselves to any great
extent for road building until they arc
satisfied that the road fund will be ex-
pended By men who know what they
are about. They are tired OF paying out
money on this account only to have It
buried IN the earth by men who are
too often chosen according to their pollt.

Protecting the Primaries.

r
It is we'll enough TO direct attention to
the fact that the State primaries to
be held in August will be safeguarded
against fraud by the law Of the State.
Section 12oD of Pollards Code acts 1902
s-4. page 93O provides: I'm all cases
where, by its plan of organization, or
otherwise, any political party in this
State requires It's candidates to be nom
mated by primary elections, such cleo
tons shall be conducted by the judges
and clerks, or other officers designated
by the proper committee or other proper
authority of any such party, and, under
such rules, regulations and requirements
as may be prescribed in the plan adopted
by such party, all laws intended to So
cure the regularity and purity OF general
and local elections and to prevent and
punish any corrupt practices III connec-
ton Herewith and the penalties and
punishments now or hereafter prcscribed
yby law for such offences shall, SO far as
they may be applicable. apply to all
primary elections. whether the same be
held under any statute law of this State
or under a plan provided by some polit-
ical party
It is also to be kept well in mind that
the pure election law prohibiting the
improper use Of money in elections ap-
plies to primaries as well as to general
elections.
Election officers, if any there be, who
have 1t In mind to defeat the will OF the
people by dishonest methods OF any kind
whatsoever will be as much amenable to
the law as though the same offence
were committed in a regular election.
The law applies to all elections alike.
BY the way. section 122-p Of the Code
provides that The cost of conducting
elections undert this chapter shall be paid
by the counties and cities, respectively"
When attention was first directed to this
statute. soon after It's enactment. 1t was
contended by some that 1t applied to
primary elections as we'll as to general
elections. We believe that nobody Sc
riously makes that contention now, but
It should apply to primary elections held
by the leading political parties. That
was the contention Of The !Tlmes-Dis-
patch at the time and Is still our con-
tention. The primary is for tho public
welfare, and the counties and cities
should pay the cost. Get the voters so
instruct their candidates for the GEN
eral Assembly. If this is not done. we
fear the State primary in Virginia will
be destroyed. It's fate is in the hands
of the people.

shown a tendency TO receive exempted

Old Doctrine Reva1nped.

W. ~ II ~
Years ago a Virginia drummer for a
firm of tobacco manufacturers wrote his
house" that they were asking him to DO
missionary work which was not at all
to his liking. That they were asking him
to convert the army Of tobacco chewers
to certain styles of tobacco, while other
factories were leaving the chewers to
their own taste and making plug and
twist and pancake" to suit. He added
that If his house expected to sell to-.
bacco, 1t must abandon the missionary
theory and get down to business
That, in different FORM is the exact
doctrine which Secretary Shaw preached
to the Virginia bankers on Friday night.
If we secure the foreign trade. we must
go after it and cater to it and make goods
that tho foreigners like There is no
principle" involved in selling goods We
need not bother ourselves about convert
ing the foreigner to our taste. We must
find out what ho wants and make 1t
for him. make 1t better and cheaper
and more to his taste than any other
manufacturers in the world If so, he
will purchase from us by preference.
We must cater to his taste, not try to
mako him cater to ours.
Mr.. Shaw might also have remarked In
passing that wo must also mako our
trade laws to suit. We cannot expect
the foreigners to buy from US it We
exclude their goods by Imposing a pro-
hlbitive tariff.

An Example Of Southern
Z Chivalry.

An editorial article recently appearing
in The Dispatch on Southern chiv-
airy has attracted some attention. We
spoke especially OF the chvalry Of other
days. But Southern chivalry is by no
means a thing OF the past. It has re.
Gently been Illustrated in the attitude Of
the South towards President Roosevelt
For reasons which need not now be
mentioned, the Southern people once
turned against Mr.. Roosevelt. But they
now feel that they misjudged him, and
as the Presidents good qualities appear
more and more, the Southern people turn
to him in admiration and good will and
make chivalrous Acknowledgements. The
North frequently8alludes to what.it calls
Southern 'prejudice.' Granting that
there is such a thing, the North may
learn from this incident that Southern
chlvalry is creator.
