WAR SCENES
PLEASED ALL.
Delightful Entertainment Under
Auspices Of Grace English
Lutheran Church Last Night.

Wilder Hall was crowded last
night at the Howe moving picture eX-
hibit given under the auspices of
Grace English Lutheran church. The
exhibit was all that had been claimed
for it and more. The entertainment
opened with series of interesting
and amusing subjects Then came
the siege of Port Arthur taken at the
time by Edward Rosenthal, war
correspondent. Mr.. Rosenthal was
greatly aided in obtaining the pic
lures by Major General Nogi.
The majority of the pictures were
clear and sharp, but a few We're a
little clowded owing to the time
nine months-which elapsed between
the exposure and the developing.
There were no facilities at hand for
their developing at the time and the
law forbade their being sent out of
the country.
Among the views was the sinking
of the Russian fleet in the harbor of
Port Arthur. This was the first au-
thentic view of the sinking of the
great warships.
The operation and transportation
of the 11-inch guns in which 1000
men are necessary, was another in
teresting view.
The entertainment concluded with
number of foreign and humorous
views.
The series of animal motion pic
lures were probably next in favor to
those of the Russo-Japan war.

ATTRACTING THE TOURIST
The Scenery of Europe Made Accessi-
BILE by Good Roads.

With the summer season begins the
usual exodus of American tourists to
Switzerland and ether countries fa-
nous for their mountain scenery Gus
tom, no doubt, is largely responsible
for the popularity of this exodus, but
there is also another reason for ii. The
beautiful scenery is made accessible by
good roads, thus making touring a
pleasure rather than hardship.
SO much value is attached to securing
Che patronage of tourists from this and
9ther countries that foreign govern
ments spend vast sums of money in
improving their roads as an attraction,
says Good Roads Magazine. 1t is keen
business acumen on their part. and few
people probably realize the great
amount of money that travellers leave
annually in such countries.
In Switzerland it is estimated that
there are 3,000000 visitors annually
who spend a sum aggregatng $50, ,G00,-
600. Italy, Bavaria and Spain, it is
said, receive $60.00O,000 from their Wis
itOrs. Great sums are received from
visitors by all the large capital cities,

HIGHWAYS OF SWEDEN.
How the Government Aids In Build
ing Good Roads.


At the St Louis good roads conven-
ton Captain \. II. Bernhardt of Stock
holm, Sweden, referring TO the matter
of how the Swedish government and
congress gave their aid and support in
building good roads, said that the
means for building roads We're appro-
priated by congress in funds partly for
estimating the cost and partly for the
construction of the roads.
THE means are distributed by the
government and congress, with sugges
tons from the state engineering depart
ment," he said The whole country
is divided into road maintaining dis
tricts, each one being Independent of
the other. All expenses of maintaining
the public roads are betrayed by the
respective districts, with the exception
of 10 per cent that is paid by the state.
When Il road is to be built application
is made for an estimate of the cost of
same and specifications, and this work
is carried out by officials of the state
engineering department
IF these estimates meet approval the
road district can apply for means from
the fund to carry out this work, and
if the government feels satisfied that
there are good reasons for the con-
struction of this road the government
appropriates twothirds of the estimat-
ed cost and authorizes the proposed
specifications. Then the district has TO
sign a contract with the state engi-
neering department, in which it is
specified mainly that the road is to be
constructed in a specified time and in
accordance with the specifications and
thereafter TO be maintained, and it is
also subject to forfeiture in case of not
being in accordance with contract.
"While in progress the work must be
in charge of an engineer recommended
by the state engineering department,
and the work is supervised by an Off
cial of the same department"

Detectives in the secret service of

with the steamship lines to dump
hordes of criminals and paupers in
to this country, the revenue from

convicted criminals immunity from
punishment if they will emmigrate

will send them here. The state de
