Lecturer Gates in Warren County.

Messrs. Editors: This IS rather
old news, but / want to tell the read
ers of ou1 good paper about my re-
cent visit to Warren County.
On the morning of July 23rd,
1905, this writer boarded the train at
Mebane bound for Ridgeway, where
we arrived about o'clock p. M. The
first one We saw was our old friend,
W. B. Fleming, who at once carried
US to his splendid home just IN the
outskirts of that prosperous little
town, and we enjoyed sumptuous
dinner presided oyer by Brother
Fleming's fair daughters. This same
evening Brothers Fleming and myself
drove over to the historic old town
of Warrenton and out to the War
renton High School building. And
here we want to say that IT these
grounds and buildings are to be tax
en- as an earnest of the work being
done here by Brother Graham, the
town and community has reason to be
proud. In fact, we know something
about Prof. John Graham, and 1T
goes without saying that he is one
of the best educators of our State,
| but when I saw these buildings and
beautiful grounds, and found the
| drinking water of the best, and re-
membered that John Graham presld-
ed there. [ thought he ought to have
| five hundred students.
But back to the point: here we
met number of representative men
and arranged work for the next ten
days, We visited all the old Sub
| Alliances in the county and num-
ber of other places, and wherever we
went we met the kindest of people
We wish it were possible to tell al
about these good folks. There is Capt
Mayfeld: he has a stately old home
and the cleverest family you ever
met. Mrs. Mayfeld just simply
knows how to make stranger feel al
home. Here we found old-time South
ern hospitality; welcome IN capita
letters. We next spent the nigh
with the Rev. Mr.. Perkinson, much
to our enjoyment, and on to Brothe.
Gardeners near Churchill. Here W.
met a large number of farmers an(
we think a successful stop. Then ou
to Bro. T. B. Fleming, one of ou
best men. Here we found music anC
song and sunshine and more wei
come; and then out to Brothe
{ Haithcock's where We spent tw
f nights with the old gentleman an

FOR MAKING GOOD ROADS.
The Split Log Drag Long Step Toward
Solving the Problem.

MeSSrS. Editors: lhe fOlIoWlAg
article is prepared from a communl.
cation written by d. Ward King, OF
Missouri, for the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post of July 1st. The
article is entitled, Spreading the
Gospel of Good Roads by the Use OF
the Split Log Drag" which Is reVo-
lutionizing the roads Of many parts
of the Union. Mr.. King tells of the
invention and the success that mas
attended the use of the drag on Varl-
Gus kinds of roads in his own State,
and also in Pennsylvania, New York
and several other States.
This is a subject of practical inter
est in every community and to every
citizen, as all are interested, to some
extent at least, and all feel the IN
convenience of impossible roads.
The article referred to seems to
nrove the claim that nearly all the
roads of any State can be put In good
order by the use of the split log drag
provided it is used with intelligence
and that the road can be kept IN
good condition, by small expendl-
ture of time and labor, each week or
month, as circumstances require.
This will be a great boon to our tar.
mers and will increase the value of
all farm property. Mr.. King has no
machine to sell and gives his expert
ence for the benefit of others, which,
if it proves to be correct, will cause
his name to be remembered with the
name of McAdam, the inventor OF
the broken stone roads OF the last
century.
There are three conditions neces-
sary in order to make perfect earth
road: the lack of any one of them
will be fatal to the required result.
The road must be oval; it must be
hard. and it must be kept smooth.
All of these conditions can be had by
the proper use of the split log drag
in almost any soil or location. IL the
road is properly rounded by the use
of the drag even a two weeks, ram
will not put the road in bad condi-
ton. at a time when the highway at
either end will be impossible to1
wagons. A small puddle will soon
make a soft place by the action OF
wheels passing over it. The use Oh
the drag smooths and fills such places
and travel packs the surface so thai
water will run off instead of soaklnf
in. making the road almost equal tt
macadam and at a very small COS
of labor, of one man and two horse
or mules.
The cost of dragging an ordlnar'
road for one wear after it is once pu
in good shape need not exceed nv
dollars per mile.

THE PASSING or TWO TRIBES
Ponca And 0toe Indians Are Dissolving
Their Tribal Relations

The members Of the National
Editorial Association and the othet
visitors to the IoI Ranch on June ii
will see an Indian celebration such
as has not been equalled III the past
several years and one that will
never be equalled again. Behind all
the splendor of paint and feathers;
behind the outward show of joy
business and gaiety; behind the
spectacular side shown to the visit
ors, there is, for the chief actors a
more serious feature. 1t marks the
dissolution of all the tribal relations
of the Ponca and Otoe tribes. These
relations have existed for ages,
ever since the tribes had their be-
ginnings, and now that the govern
nent has allotted the tribal lands,
the members are to get their separ-
ate ways. Many will leave the re-
servation which has been home to
them for the past forty years and
move to cities, where they will take
up the pursuits of their white breth-
ren. Others will, of course, remain
on the reservation, settle down to
the homely occupation of farming
and make good citizens.
The date marks the obliteration
of all their tribal councils, their
dances, their customs of every sort.
Where the Indian has hunted,
where he has danced. where he
has quarrelled, where he has had
his loves and his hates, and his
troubles as well as his joys. is to

their customs as well as the white
citizens OF the United States love
the observance of the Fourth of
July and the members of the white
population should remember that
while they are seeing the outside,
there is behind it the breaking up
of once mighty people.
To properly celebrate. the In
diaus of the Ponca and Otoe tribes
have invited the other tribes of the
territory to visit them and for
week before and after the big en-

Houghton, Mich. August 12.-0nly three years ago it was thought, by some of the most careful students 01 the Lake Superior business, that the ultimate productive capacity of the To- cal mines would be abont 300,000, GOO pounds per annum. This figure was exceeded last year and win be large ly exceeded in 1905, barring serious Rc- cidents of an unforeseen nature. Not only have the figures of ultimate out put been reached and passed, but work now under way assures a still larger increase in the production Of the fu- ture. Just how large this win prove depends upon a number of factors that cannot be accurately estimated at the present writing, put there is enough of a positive nature known to afford q sound basis for predicting a steady increase in output for several years to come.
 The properties of the district may be divided into five classes, so far as present and future production are con- cerned. these being as follows: First, the old producing mines; second, the new producing mines; third, the de yeloping mines; fourth, 6he active prospects, and fifth, the inactive mines and prospects. Of the first class, it may be said with safety that practi- cally all of the old mines should at least hold their own in output for the next five years, and the aggregate
