Judge Scott spoke of the experience
Of Marion county with gravel as a
road material and said its economy
depended on the quality of the gravel
and the distance to haul. Their
gravel screen, engine and bins cost

DR.. Jas. Withycombe Of the State
Agricultural college. then addressed
tho convention on the economy Of
good roads DIR. Withcombe is a
forceful, easy speaker and he made
his statements clear and to the point
and his address was well received.
The following are the main points in
the Doctors address
" Good roads are an imroI tant factor
in a higher civilization. Without
reasonably good roads, no section OF
our country can reach its possibilities
in production.
" II is true beyond question that in
many sections Of our state the ulti.
mate means of transportation will be
the electric tramway and may the dag
speedily arrive for this. Despite the
possible net work of electric linei
of the future, the common, every day
road will be popular means of trave
for our rural population. The public
highway will perhaps forever remain
the principal avenue through " hici
the products of the farm will bt

trunk lines for shipment to distan
markets Thus good roads are de
stined to remain an important facto
IN our agricultural prosperity.

w. z. Conan, of Portland, general
passenger and freight agent for the
Southern Pacific Company's Oregon
lines. in an address presented the in
terest that the railroad companies
have in wagon roads and he showed
that public highways, that were
passable to loaded teams in all
months of the year, would by equaliz-
ing the freight traffic of the year
by rendering unnecessary the ship
ping crush of each fall and the idle
ness of the freight service during the
winter months, together with the in
crease of products that the farmers
would ship, would tend to make
certain a reduction iD freight rates.

ENTERTAINING ROYALTY.
The Task liz Always a Most Trying
md 4Ttt;inu Ono.


III and Tedious One.
1t must at times, despite the honor,
be a somewhat tedious function for a
British subject to entertain the king,
for the house and all therein are for the
time of the kings visit royal property,
At luncheon or dinner the host and
his guests gemain standing until roy
atty appears. Then the host, If the
queen or princess be present, escorts
her to the table the hostess following
with the king. If the king is alone he
leads with the hostess.
Neither host nor hostess can give the
signal for leaving the table, but must
await the royal pleasure. If the queen
or a princess be present when she rises
she is followed by the hostess, who for
the moment issthe lady in waiting. As
it is not the proper thing for a servant
to hand anything to a sovereign, when
tea or coffee is served it is first handed
to the hostess, who herself offers 1t to
the king or queen. Oddly enough. fin
ger glasses at dessert are, when royal
j ty dimes, placed for them only. When
the sovereign dons a wrap no servant
is permitted ohelp, but lady or gen
tleman must assist.
Another rule is that IL there is card
playing for money coin fresh from the
mint must be on hand for the occasion.
The guests for these royal house par
ties are selected by the royal person
ages often weeks and sometimes
months In advance, and ali Invitation
to them is really royal command. These
house parties are always very small,

. INDIA RUBBER.
Rrocess Of Tapping the Trees and
Preparing the Sap.

India rubber, or caontchouc, Is dry,
coeguiated, milky Juice, the sap of
trees and shrubs indigenous to the
most unhealthy and inaccessible re-
gieas Ia the qua torial countries of
South America, in certain areas Of
west Africa and the Uganda protec-
torate The mortality among the na-
tives in the quest for rubber Is enor-
nous. The natives are equipped for
their hunts by the brokers and venture
/: to the haunts of the caoutchouc trees
IN boats and by marches through miles
of thick forests. But the climate car
ries off the rubber hunters like flies,
and the percentage Of those who re-
turn from interpolation is very low.
Many properties of a vegetable emul-
sion are possessed by the sap, which
contains the caoutchouc in the form OF
myriads of minute globules. The proc
ess OF tapping the trees for the sap js
closely akin to the method of extract
Ing strip from the maple trees in
North America. The sap is collected
In large watts. The juice Is then sub
A fire OF palm nuts Is made, and a pole
Is inserted in the vat containing the
yiscid fluid. When Withdrawn from
the vessel the end of the pole is be-
smea.ed with the sticky substance.
The rubber is then held In the smoke
issuing from the palm nut fire until
the sap coagulates. The treatment in
the peculiar smoke effects the curing
of the rubber.
IS When the operation is completed the
pole with its charge is once more i'm
mersed in the vat of raw caoutchouc
and the smoke and heat process re-
peated and so on several times until.
there is a large knob or accumulation
of rubber upon the end of the pole con
stituted Of hundreds of thin layers Of
rubber The end of the pole is then
cut out Of the rubber, and the spherical
mass il duly examined by the broker
and labeled according to its quality.
