The following is taken from yes terday's Fl Paso Herald:
 "Dr. James Douglas was expected as the guest of Fl Paso today. The president of the great Phelps-Dodge company, the Fl Paso and South western railroad system and other allied properties, not content with remaining a passive guest, has dex- terously turned the tables and has volunteered to become host to all delegates to the American Mining Congress.
 The Southwestern road. through the generosity of pr. Douglas, will operate a free train from this city to Douglas and return for the benefit of all members of the congress who wish to visit the Phelps-Dodge properties at that point
 This offer was entirely unexpected and almost overwhelmed the local committee. Action will probably be taken by the congress today in re gard to accepting the invitation.
 I'll. J. Simmons, general manager of the Southwestern, extended the invitation to the congress, in a letter to J. A. Happer, chairman of the local committee. He wrote:
 (" I am authorized by our president, Dr. James Douglas, to tender free to the delegates of the American Min ing Congress a train from Fl Paso to Douglas and return, to all those who desire to inspect the smelting works at Douglas.

 That was a most generous thing for Dr. Douglas to do." remarked Chairman Happer, in discussing the letter. T am sure that we all appre- ciate it greatly. It was a most un- expected action on his part, and it is all the more welcome on that ac count
 "Dr. James Douglas. A. c. James, vice president of the Phelps-D Dodge company. and other officials of the Southwestern road, were the guests of the local committee at a luncheon at the St. Regis at 1 o'clock.
 Those present, beside President Douglas and Vice President James, were H. J. Simmons, A. N. Brown, c. B.

 What fortunate provision of natur 4 is that deprives the rose of Inenta suffering; for how poignant would be il grief to discover, in the height of it blooming glory, that a canker fed at it heart, and that its beauty and f-agranc were doomed forever.

In the year gone by falling hair and grayness hay cast a gloom over the lives of thousand of young women. but thanks to the in vestigations of scientists the true caus of hair destruction is now known to ! a germ or parasite that burrows int the hair foIlicles.

PRISON LABOR ON ROADS.
Value Of Employing Convicts to Inn
prove Highways.

Value OF Employing COnvicts to Inn
prove Highways.
In considering the good roads propo-
sition too little thought Is given that
phase Of it requiring accomplishment
on public thoroughfares through prison
labor, says the American Agricultur-
ist Here and there effective work is
done along this line, but there is no
general tendency on the part Of state
or municipal authorities to utilize labor
of this character.
The burden of convicting the prison
er is heavy on the public and the ex-
pense perhaps even greater In caring
for convicts. Were this kind of man.
ual labor more generally put to whole
some use In improving or keeping
in repair the public roads, some return
would be possible for this heavy out
lay. Nor would the more general en-
ployment Of convict labor be without
other value.
It is fair to presume that prisoners
would rather be out of doors among
their fellow men, even though kept un-
der surveillance, than penned within
high walls and perhaps idle.
Some such utilization Of a great
mass Of unemployed muscle would ac-
complish much good in the improve
ment Of our common dirt or stone
roads, would reduce taxation. would
increase the value of farm and village
property and incidentally render serv-
Ice from the mental and moral point
Of view.

Rural Delivery Notes

The rural free delivery will cost the
government over SCI 100000 for the
present fiscal year.
Rural routes are being ordered into
effect at an average rate of about 600

The greatest pressure for the con-
tinuance and extension Of the service
is coming from the southern states.
There are pending 4.7OS petitions for
new service, as against $40 similar
petitions on file one year ago.

The best possible way to interest
people in a good roads movement is to
manage to get good sample Of good
roads made in the middle of the worst
bit of bad road you can find. have in
mind the experience Of my friend Hale
many years ago at the beginning Of
the good roads movement in Connect
cut, where, after several years Of fight,
he secured permission to put n few
rods only Of good road as sample.
He selected the middle Of very mud
dy section Of road, and the next sea
sons experience convinced everybody
Of the value Of good roads. and there
was no more trouble in that region.-J.

When l was on the bench a few
years ago the people who wanted a

a ridge road crank because no petit
ton was granted for anything except
a ridge road. The early day routes in
this country were ali ridge roads. and
most of them are in better condition
now than those winding around
through hills, with the deep cuts and
numerous culverts on which many dol
lars and much labor have been expend-
ed. The ridge road Is self protecting.

ton, with her 200 miles of hard road,
pays more than double as much tax
as Livingston county, with her 100
miles Of river front. With bad roads
you find yourselves as a county help
less to build good ones. 1t takes all
the tax the constitution allows to pay
your other expenses. You then have
recourse to the law which allows you
to call out the laborers Of the county
six days each year. They have no
sufficient tools; they are unskilled:
most Of them have NO horse-no use
for the road. The men who do use the
road seldom work 1t, or when they do
they get pay for their teams at high
rate, considering service rendered.
This system, full Of injustice and hard
ship to the poor, never has got-never

you must do something more, and l
suggest that you do that something
here and now. Mr.. Chairman. l sug-
gest that you appoint a committee to
raise money to buy a road machine
and work some road this fall If it is
only enough for an object lesson. Let
the men who are so fortunate as to
own some Of this fertile land on the
river build out toward those less for
funate, who live higher up. You will

ROADMAKING ADVICE

I do not come to you to talk Of the
value Of good roads or to say beautiful
things about them, but to tell you how
they are to be had, said G. NJ. Hanna
in an address before the farmers' in
stitute held in Livingston county, Ky.
Wher building Of any kind is contem-
plated the first thing that demands at
tention Is whore IL the money to come
from; who must pay for It? l answer.
all who are benefited by 1t, the pro-
'ducer and consumer alike. Hence.
town and county should join in every
effort for the betterment Of roads.
l will prove by figures taken from
the auditors report that the state can
assist the counties in road building and
be greatly prodted thereby. While I
will not argue the question at length,
l believe the national government
should aid in road building. The

admirably adapted to accomplish good
to the whole nation. II some plan
could be put in operation by which the
nation-state, county and locality
could join in building good roads ev-
erywhere, it would not cost anybody
anything. The increased prosperity re-
sulting to the nation would enable It
with ease to pay its part. The increase
IN taxable value Of property would en-
able the state and county to pay their
part without increasing the rate. The
increase in money value and utility Of
farms will always pay back to the
farmer in time his cost In building the
part Of the road falling to his lot.
In proof Of the proposition that II
would not cost the nation, state, county
and locality anything to build good
roads, recall that more than a hun.
dred years ago Napoleon the Great
commenced building good roads in

plies more rapid. When they proved
