irg. Following is an account OF Fri
days proceedings.
Nearly the entire morning was con-
sumed in the experience meeting"
This IS considered one Of the most
profitable parts OF the proceedings
The supervisors-the road builders
themselves-entered into an informal
and general discussion Of their differ
ent methods OF meeting the oificul
ties encountered and tie methods and
costs Of building and maintaining good
roads. One matter that received con-
siderable comment was the compare.
tive cost of keeping the different
makes Of road machinery In repair.
Several counties contemplate purchas-
ing an equipment Of road machinery
and were wisely prodting by expert.
ences of their neigabors.
About three hours was spent in this
exchanging Of ideas. The legislature
will be asked to remedy the defects in
the law relating to road duty and
Communication TAX.
Under the operation CT the existing
law the citizens who do not pay the
Communication tax and who are there
fore subject to such road duty are so
far apart and so difficult OF identidca.
tion by the county supervisor that the
cost Of bridging them together is said
to equal the value of services perform
ed. Furthermore, it is claimed that
provision restricting their services to
the vicinity OF their respective abodes
reduces the number available for any
one neighborhood to such small force
that their com bined services do not
warrant the expense OF and overseer
to direct their limited am. u2t Of

ELKINs TAKES UGs TIME.
Senate Committee ContInues Discussion
 Of Railway Rates.


 Washington, Nov. 23.-The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce today continued the discussion Of measures relative to amending the railroad laws. There were many ideas exchanged but no developments of im- portance.
 Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee, occupied most of the ses- sion in making suggestions and dis cussing propositions which he thought ought to be incorporated in any bill that may be reported. These sugges- tions were numerous and would mean a lengthy measure aside from rate regulation provisions.
 Senators Elkins did not bring for~ ward the pooling proposition but ln- tends to present 1t later in some modi- fled form so that there may be freer traffic between railroads One partic- ular point made by Senator Elktns looked to compelling trunk lines to afford better facilities to lateral lines and small roads which are compelled to use Dig roads to reach a market
 The better management of the pri- vate ear lines, so as to meet the de- nands of the shippers and amendment oS the laws bearing on terminal com nanies and terminal charges also were suggested. - = ,,
 There was q great deal Of talk by other members of the committee and during the afternoon the Esch-Town send hin. was up for comment, It did not seem likely that this measure n,ou,d he made the basis of action by ,ha committee as several members haxa made drafts of measures Whlcn ,bev will present for consideration.
 The committee will meet again to- morrow morning at Il o'clock.

COVETED SACRED STOOL.
Bryan Wanted to Buy Chair Where
 Admirnl TDgo Sat.

Aumttmh IO&0 Sat. Victoria, B. C., Nov. 23.--Japanese newspapers received by the steamer Shawmut criticises W. j.. Bryan, now visiting Japan. because of his attempt to purchase the war stool upon which Admiral Togo sat at the Shinto cere- monial in Uyeno Park at Tokio to cei- ebrate the naval triumph. The stool, which was used for a similar purpose for centuries, since 1907. has been handed down in the Ogasawara family of Shinto priests. which family alone has authority to conduct such cere- monisls.
 As told by vernacular Japanese news- papers, William J. Bryan went from Yokohama to attend the ceremony and asked to be permitted to sit upon a seat of such good omen. No objection was made, but. so the story runs, Bryan then tried to purchase the heir ] loom. As 1t had sanctity in Japanese eyes, there was only indignation. The owners replied indignantly that the war stool was not for sale. The Jiji Shimpo says the chair was finally handed over to Mir. Bryan at his re- quest after family consultation of the Ogasawara. Learning. after leav- ing Tokio, of the special character of the chair. MT. Bryan returned 1t to the Mayor of Tokio. with a letter explain ing that he had no idea of the stool s exceptional value to the Ogasawara family. and under the circumstances should not think of retaining it. One Tokio paper says MT. Bryan secured a common chair upon which Admiral To- go sat in aIrestaurant a of Uyeno Park.
