THE county commissioners spent
several DAYS last week familiarizing
themselves with road conditions all
over the county, and as result of
their trip have decided To commence
work at once upon the road from the
new state bridge on the outskirts of
La Junta to West Holbrook. The
route they have decided upon runs
straight east from the state bridge
to the bridge over the Fort Lyon
canal. thence west along the canal to
a point one and one-half miles east
of the headgate. thence straight
north to the road running south Of
the reservoir and intersecting that
road two miles east of the reservoir.
The proposed road interSects all of
the roads in West Holbrook. The
road south of the reservoir will be
extended three and one-half miles
to the township line, intersecting the
center and east roads into the Hol-
brook country. and this viii give an
outlet from any section of the Hol-
brook country to either the east or

I'm the newspaper reports announcing
the death of the late Secretary Hay at
his summer home. The Fells,' on Lake
Sunapee, NJ H." said woman of char
acter and culture last night, there were
three sentences that seemed to me to be
IT. perfect keeping with the simplicity and
beauty that marked the life of him who
is now no more.
II wonder did you notice them? They
were these: There are no signs of mourn
ing at The Fells' this morning. The shut
tiers of the house are open. There is no
crepe on the door,
Il can not help feeling" continued the
speaker, that the emitting of the con-
ventional manifestations of sorrow was
suggested by the author of Jim Bludso,'
while in the flesh. Mr.. Hay had lived
long and varied life, and one, too. that
gave him keen. insight into the things
that pass and the things that endure. He
learned well how to discriminate between
the essential and the non-essential. A
gentleman of tradition, birth, rearing and
cultivation; man engaged many years
in the worlds work; a scholar of ex-
quisite taste; a student, writer, and
maker of history. he never lost his love
for nature, nor ever was he so happy,
dare say, as when, dropping his work in
the public service, he rested while in
his summer home. There. surely. must
have come to him foretaste of what
heaven is. TITS sweet to think that it was
given to him there to pass from the life
transient through death to the life ever
lasting.
"Such a life so lived and so ended.
needs no manifestation of conventional
grief. For him it were well that the sun
light pour in through the open windows
and that hearts leap up in very joy
at the thought of what he had done for,
and been to, his country"

THE NEW CHIEF ENGINEER.

From the Washington Star.
The promptness with which Chief En-.
gineer Wallace's place was filled by the
President is an indication of the fact that
there is no dearth of high-class engineer
ing talent in this country. The states
are well supplied with men who have
done big things. They have built rail-
roads, canals, dams, they have establish
ed enormous industrial plants under seri-
Gus difficulties; they have been at work
during the most remarkable period of the
worlds industrial growth in the land of
its highest stage of development in the
solution of problems of every kind. 1t
is difficult. indeed, to look abroad in any
direction and not find a man who has
made mark for himself in the creation
of useful products through the applica-
ton of advanced scientific methods.
Mr.. John +. Stevens enters the canal
work with the reputation of having built
some of the most difficult portions of one
of the Pacific railroads. He attacked
conditions that few score of years ago
would have deferred capitalists from un-
dertaking the job of putting a line OF
rails across the country from the great
lakes to the acean. He is therefore a
tried man and not a theorist. And he
merely exemplifies the gratifying truth
that here in the United States there is
no place so big that man cannot be
found who will at least give promise OF
filling it satisfactorily.

Profanity Among Boys.

II happened to be near a number of
news boys this morning and l was sur
prised at the amount of profanity that
they INDUCED in" said a man who takes
much interest in this class of humanity
yesterday.
II should say that there were twelve
or fifteen boys in the crowd, ranging in
age from 10 to Is years Everyone of
them with single exception was smok-
ing, and all OF them were cursing and
using the worst language l have ever
heard.
When ! was youngster of that age
a boy that smoked or cursed was con-
sidered an outcast. He was looked down
on and was Stunned. Now it seems to
be the other way. A boy that does not
curse and smoke is looked on as an
oddly.
Such a thing as a boy 10 years old
smoking was almost unheard of in my
day, but now 1 believe that fully 80 per
cent of the youths are addicted to the
cigarette habit

How TO Meet Hot Weather.

The heated term is upon us. 1t is
hotter first in one city, then in an
other, and until September at any
rate this city and district will not be
apt to get more than its share of cal
ORIG
But no one in town or country need
suffer, for electricity and modern de-
vices for the comfort of mankind are
manifold. Trolley cars are at hand,
and so are amusements over the wa
ter,and iced drinks, and ice cream has
become an American necessary of life.
1t is not so in other countries. Elec-
trically propelled fans and the free
American use of ice have robbed Old
Sol at his blazing heights of his ter
rors
A century ago it was not so, but we
have at length acquired the means to
keep cool even when the mercury
crosses the hundred degree line, some
thing it rarely does in this town 1t
is different in other towns. but tenn
perature above one hundred degrees
is strictly exceptional in this district,
made up of fine hills and pretty val
leys, of great gushing springs and
ever-changing winds. All one has to do
in the hot months-two only to come
lis to keep an even temper, quiet
mind land have enough to do to keep
the mind from dwelling upon the mer-
curry and its upward flights.
