Promoting Good Roads.

The convention of the Good
Roads association at North Yakima
is naturally an event to excite in
terest thruout the etate, and the at
tendance of good sized delegations
from the various sections is not
surprising. The Commercial Club
and business men of North Yakima
are to be commended for their eff
forts to give all present good view
of one of the states best and most
fruitful districts.
Every effort that is made for the
betterment of the roads of the north
west is worthy of the warmest and
most enthusiastic encouragement,
and tits a promising ind ca ion that
general interest is taken in the sub
iect. 1t is a matter in which the
people of all parts Of the northwest
are vitality concerned, and the sug-
gestions which are made and plans
that are outlined will assuredly
bear good results.
Local energy and enterprise in
different localities have accomplish
ed much in the way of improving
the highways, and with every step
taken the farmers and business
men reap prompt and appreciable
benefits. The Good Roads associa
ton, thru its officers and those of
its members who are giving the
subject constant attention, is doing
work the effects of which will be
manifest for years to come, and the
more closely local communities
keep in touch with what is being
done by the central organization
with state and federal assistance,
the letter will it be fer themselves
and for the state as whole

On the eve of his entering the
 navy department Secretary Metcalf
 has been credited with some remarks
 that would tend to stamp him as an
 advocate of greater navy, says a
 Washington writer. It is known that
 the secretary has been interested in navy matters for long time. When
 he was a member of the fifty-sixth congress he was on the naval com mittee of the house, and he was known there as a staunch supporter of larger naval appropriations and extensive building programs. One of his last acts on the committee was to recommend the construction of three battleships, which in that year the house cut down to two in the inter- est of economy The secretary has also very decided views of Oriental questions, as has almost every man who comes from the Pacific coast. He believes not only that we need larger navy, but that we will have work for it to do in the Pacific in the course of the next few years, so his appointment to the navy depart ment will put him in place where his inclinations will coordinate with the work that he has to do. It is known that he said only recently that Great Britain had taken the proper line in the construction of the monster battleship ''Dreadnaught, and he was the first man in the gov ernment to realize that Great Brit ain had really stolen a march on the whole world in creating three other battleships of the same type when the launching of the three so-called great tcruisers" of the Invincible type were recently announced. It is known that he is thoroughly in favor of the construction of the ten mill lion dollar battTeship for which the navy department is now preparing plans, and if he has his way as sec retary of the navy, we are likely to have a whole squadron of these monsters before his term of office eX- pires.

The busiest short session for many years will be that of congress to con- vene next December, is the predic- tion of the authorities in Washing ton. Two or three of the important laws enacted at the last session will need some Improvements. such as the pure food and the railway rate acts, lame places in each having already been discovered. It is thought the Elkins law will also be strengthened in some important particulars. and made more effective. The Cuban situation will be one of the questions of gravest importance. The tide has turned strongly against annexation. and the little furry with Japan has added to the opposition to annexa- ton. but how far this country can or ought to intervene in Cuban affairs is a question of great gravity at this time. and whether any intervention should be taken on the motion of the president. It is to this country a new and startling departure from old traditions to use the army and naval forces of the government to preserve order in or to govern a for eign country. and it is a precedent that may cause trouble in the future. especially as several European pow CTS are already discussing the ques- ton as to whether or not the Mon- roe doctrine is still a vital force.

COURT BAN ON SPELLING.

Chief Justice Fuller objects te
 "Thru' In . Quotation.
 The United States supreme court has gone against the silnplifled spelling sys- tein, and the indications after the first round are that the simpl!fied spelling system is leaning against the ropes, groggy, says a Washington special to the New York Times. The supreme court always does those things in Q fine and delicate way, without any shedding of blood or mussing up of scenery, so that 1t sometimes takes the victim a day or two to ascertain that he is really down and out.
 It happened while the case of Dal- cour against the United States was un- der consideration. Solicitor General Hoyt was presenting the governments side. and be was reading from brief which was fairly studded with such words as 'dropt' and fantasy" and "kist." Chief Justice Fuller. with a copy of the brief in hand. followed the reading gravely. He read thru" and 'thruout' and "fantom" and 'fixt' and not a single expression fitted across his face.
 Presently the brief arrived at q long quotation from a decision rendered some years ago by Justice Bradley. The silnplifed word that Mir. Hoyt met in his reading from this was thru Hardly was the word out of his mouth before the chief justice stopped him.
 "Is thls," said the chief justice. in the tone of gentle. suave inquiry which puts experienced counsel on guard. supposed to be quotation from Jus tice Bradley's official opinlonr'
 Mfr. Hoyt looked up. startled. He hurriedly scanned the quotation to see what was wrong. and his eye lighted on the word he had just read. He flushed and idge.ed.
 "Yes. sir: in all except the spelling" !" he blushingly replied.
 "Ah-h-h-h-h-' replied the chief jus tice. with long. rolling infection, in- serting five h's in a word that Is sup posed to have only one.
 The rest Of the justices srinned. and SO did everybody else in the courtroom. NIT. Hoyt discerned the danger signal and hurriedly jumped off the track.
 Hereafter" he said, T will see to it that nothing of this kind occurs. While we follow the presidents order in pre- pairing original briefs. I do not feel that we are justified in changing the orthog- raphy of judicial opinions. and will see that t does not happen again. So ended the first round. snd the memory of Justice Bradley was pro tected The next round Is awaited with interest.

sTALWARTs ARE CUT.
victory Of Dakota Insurgents IN
Assured

A Sioux Falls, S. D., special says:
Returns from the Republican county
conventions held throughout the state
ton about the reelection of Robert j.
Gamble to the United States senate.
The insurgent faction of Republicans,
OF which he was one of the leaders.
will have not less than 500 of the 1869
delegates who will be entitled to seats
In the state convention. which will be
held In Sioux Falls on June 5.
The fight has been an animated one.
The leaders OF the stalwart faction are
Senator Kittredge and Congressman
Martin and Burke, the plan Of the stall
warts having been to have Congress
man Martin elected as the successor
OF Senator Gamble over his three op-
ponents is an overwhelming one and
he is receiving the congratu-
lations of his friends throughout the
state.
The results of the county conven-
tions also insure the nomination of Coe
i. Crawford to the office Of governor,
and means the retirement OF Congress-
men Martin and Burke and the substi-
tuition of men allied with the insur-
gent action Mr.. Crawford has been
the leader OF the insurgents for sever
al years and was defeated two years
ago. The alliance this year with Sem
ator Gamble made the success Of the
insurgents certain. The insurgents de-
clare that Coe /. Crawford will two
years hence be a candidate against
Senator Kittredge for election TO the
United States senate.
The break between Senators Gam
BILE and kittredge has attracted ma
tional attention and has resulted in a
deadlock over federal appointments
in South Dakota, notably for the office
of United States attorney, this being
the first deadlock of importance be-
tween the two senators.
Congressman Martin lives in the
Black Hills. and one of the surprises
to the salwarts was the fact that Pen
nington County, one of the six Black
Hills counties, was Tuesday carried
by the insurgents notwithstanding the
expectation that Congressman Martin
would have the Black Hills solidly be-
hind him.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A con-
DENsED FORM.
Stalwarts Become Bolder-Claim Big
Majority i'm the Dakota Convention
headers Hold Conference and Ac-
cuse the Insurgents of Deception.

A Sioux Falls special says: AT
meeting of the stalwart leaders held at
stalwart headquarters in this city
Sunday the present situation with ref
erence to the result of the caucuses
last Tuesday was carefully gone over
Reports from every county in the state
were at hand and these were given
careful consideration.
After the conference Frank Crane,
chairman 'of the Republican state
committee, made the following state
ment, which was approved by
every participant in the conference:
1.-THE stalwarts have 759 votes in the
convention, with probably 81 addition
al, and counting Roberts County's Al
delegates, contested. Other gains are
likely to be made. The insurgents re-
ports are without foundation and are
circulated to deceive and mislead the
county convention"
1t will be noticed that the stalwarts
now are claiming AZ votes more than
in their last previous statement, in
which they claimed to have captured a
total of III delegates to the state con-
vention. The stalwart leaders appear
quite cheerful and apparently have not
lost confidence in their ability to Sc
cure sufficient delegates at the county
conventions on Tuesday TO give them
control of the state convention.
Instead of reducing their figures it
is noticeable that the insurgents dur
ing the last few days have increased
the total of their claims as to the num-
Der of delegates they will have in the
state convention. The latest statement
of the insurgents, issued Sunday,
claims a total of SCI delegates as GER
tain for them in the state conven-
ton

Many Coal Mining Deals-Oficials
Admit Receiving Gifts of Stock.

A Philadelphia dispatch says: Fur
ther revelations concerning stockhold-
ings In soft coal mining companies by
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
were made Wednesday when the inter
state commerce commission resumed
its investigation into the alleged dis
elimination by railroads in the distri-
button of cars. Three high officials
of the railroads, First Vice President
]. P. Green, Third Vice President
Samuel Rea and william A. Patton,
assistant to the president at Philadel-
phia, were the important witnesses of
the day.
Mr.. Patton was under examination
the greater part Of the morning and
was an unwilling witness. The persist
ent questioning Of Attorney Glasgow
for the commission. however, brought
out the act that Mr.. Patton had ac-
CURED stock the par value OF which is
100000 in various coal companies
without cost to himself He explained
that he had signed notes obligating
himself for his share OF the losses.
and declared his belief that 1t was
proper for him to accept the stock
under those conditions
Vice President Rea read statement
in which he explained all his stock
transactions, in which he expressed
the opinion that he was not debarred
from such ownership because OF his
connection with the railroad company.
Mr. Rea said most OF his stock was
acquired through land syndicates
which took up the coal properties for
development.
Vice President Green said twenty
or thirty years ago 1t was not consid-
cred improper for an officer OF rail-
road TO own coal company stock, but
conditions had changed and such
holdings might not now be regarded
in the same light as formerly. He
informed the commission that the
board of directors of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad acting on the informa-
ton that had been brought out at the
hearings had just appointed COM
mittee of five directors to make an in
vestigation into the connection of it's
officials with coal companies. Mr..
Green said he did not own a dollars
worth of coal company stock.
