| Numerous complaints reach this
office every month from various Sec
tions of the county of the slouchy
manner in which the public roads are
worked under the present contract
system. It is claimed by reliable far
mers that the roads are not worked
satisfactorily in many instances, and
yet under the system what little Is
done to them costs more than it did
when They were worked BY the COM
munity using them. Whether this Is
due to negligence on the part Of the
supervisors or to the cupidity Of the
contractors, makes no difference.

lie funds, and from the complaints
made, it does not appear this 10 being

A man will forgive a pretty woman

No woman wants man to ''go to the

Radium at the Fair.

Several ores which contain radium
are displayed at the Portland Fair by
Colorado. The mineral cornotite, which
contains one three - thousandth of one

Cornotite is a yellow subst ince,
somewhat resembling fine sand and is
valuable for staining Bohemian glaa.
