Gen. Lavalette was in prison on the

by his wife, daughter and maid.
After an affecting interview in the
cell, the generals wife, apparently.

HAVE FEVER IN CHECK.
Expected That New Orleans Will Soon
Be Free From Dread Disease.

Expected That New Orleans Will Soon
Be Free From Dread Disease.
New Orleans.-By the end OF the
present week the authorities in charge
of the fever situation believe they will
be in such thorough touch with con-
ditions that they will be able to speak
with authority as to their ability to
control and eradicate the disease in
advance of the coming of the frost.
Daily the system of inspection and re-
port is becoming more perfect, and
by that time not only will it be pos
sible to tell precisely the extent of the
fever, but a period will have arrived
when no more new cases traceable to
the original infection may be expected
It is generally believed here that
when the present sickness passes New
Orleans will not seek to regain the
fruit trade, which has now been di-
verified to Mobile, unless the fruit COM
panies are willing to submit to regu-
lations which will make impossible the
introduction of fever.

fight was made by the citizens. The
losses aggregate $4,000, with consid,
cradle insurance. The firms burned
out are: Cornell Progress, DR.. H. G.

one of the men officially accompany
ink Komura, the Japanese peace en-
voy, gave out an interview on Mon
day, in which he outlined what he de-
clared to be the popular feeling in
japan regarding peace terms.
my people feel that this is no time
for peace; that it is too early" he
said. First, we must get Hardin and
Vladivostok, for unless we get them
we fear that by and by we shall have
to fight again. We must stop Russian
ambition now, once for all. We do not
wish to fight the Russians again, once
peace has been concluded"
On the question of indemnity, Mr..
Ishikaw said that the very smallest
gum his people would be willing to
consider was $75O,OOO,OO0, the actual
cost Of the war so far, but that somt
demanded as high as $2,500,000.0OO.
He himself thought the people would
be satisfied with $1,OOO,OOO,000.

II has come under our observation
many times that those who complain
IN Jst about dancing are the ones who

believe the bearsays. We believe,

keeping young people too much under

A FARMER WRITES
OF GOOD ROADS
Intimates of Agreement That
Grants Pass Do the Talking
and County the Work.

Editor CourIer-We have read many
articles of late in the papers, on the
good roads question. Some of them
have been very interesting and con-
tanned many plausible theories and
good suggestions. This is subject
in which all should be equally inter-
ested. Cool county roads are as much
of benefit to the merchant or bust
ness man as to the farmer. l suppose
a certain amount of agitation is
necessary on all public questions be-
fore much action will be taken. But
in this casa. like many others, it
seems that there has besn more talk
than action, although there has been
some splendid improvements made Of
late on our public roads in this
county. While l do not condemn the
new road law, l do not see as it has
much advantage for the majority OF
farmers. over the old system, in which
each road district had its own super
visor and each one worked out his
road tax instead Of paying the money.
1t seems that most all the money is
expended ON the main thoroughfares
while some of the outlying districts
are sadly neglected. l have been in-
formed that the people of Grants Pass
do not pay any county road tax. II
this be true there is certainly screw
loose somewhere, unless there is a
mutual agreement 10 that effect, that
the town people are to do the talking,
aud the farmers ale to pay the taxes
TO make the roads. We farmers are
certainly willing to pay our share OF
the taxes IL the money is justly
and wisely expended and the burden
falls equally on all classes. Some
writer has gone so far as to attribute
all the sins that we're ever committed
from Adam down to the present time
TO the one cause Of had roads. While
we think the picture is little over
drawn, we do believe that good roads
are very important factor In the
prosperity of a country. As to the
ways and means, they have been
pretty thoroughly discussed in the
columns Of the Courier. So we
think farther suggestions on that line
would be unnecessary. We think our
road supervisors are competent men,
and are disoharging their duty the
best they can with the means at hand.
