BUILDING ROADS IN
PALOUSE COUNTRY
Valuable Article On Road
Building Written by S.
E. Robinson.

The following article was written
by S. E. Robinson, student in the
Department of Agriculture at the
State College.
There are three phases of the prob
lem of road improvement in any state
or county. The first of these is the
arousal of interest and appreciation
of the need and value of good roads.
The average taxpayer, more particu-
larly the farmer, is entirely unable to
see the educational and social advant-
ages of good roads; or seeing it, be-
lieves these things of too little consid-
GRAFTON to be worth the expenditure
of the all-important dollar. Likewise,
he can see little of the money value of
roads or the pleasure and comfort to
compensate him for the expenditure of
a considerable amount of money. The
task of getting the majority of the tax
payers to see the economy in time, en-
ergy and material wealth of good,
hard, smooth, comparatively level road
over the ordinary dirt road of the
country, and especially the economy of
the best road possible under the cir
cumstances, is the greatest difficulty
to be overcome in road Improvement.
1t is difficult for most people to prop
erly estimate the value, even money
value alone, of good roads. It is
difficult to see without study what in
a certain instance forty Of the naot
Iiinealligent Farmers of Indiana judged

able and efficient executive scheme of
carrying on the business of road inn
provement. If the public were once
aroused to the economy of roads and
the necessity of economical expendi ure
and the best possible technical con-
struction, the organization of good
executive system wdeld be no very
difficult matter. The difficulty is that
men do not give the matter the i'm
portance that it deserves. We pay
the laraMSt amount of our taxes to
the pub lhools and the next largest

and the peace of God like CLEAN of
sunshine at the evening time, settled
down on his face as with his diving
breath he sent this last message to his
absent loved ones: Tell them to
meet me in heaven. OF him we
might say with the Psalmist, Mark
thou the perfect man and behold the
upright for the end of that man is
peace.

DEATH OF RICHARD S. YEO.
ferred upon several candidates.

Richard S. Yeo, pioneer of the
Palouse country, died at Seattle,
Wash, Tuesday, June 18th, he hav-
ing been taken to that city for treat
ment for stomach trouble, from which
he had been suffering for some time.
The disease took a sudden and serious
turn Monday, and his death followed
Monday morning.
The body was brought to Pullman,
and the funeral services were held
Thursday afternoon, from the United
Presbyterian church, a large concourse
of friends from the city and surround
ing country being present. His pastor,
DR.. Hays, preached the funeral SER
mon from Psalms 116 :15.
Mr.. Richard Soper Yeo was born
near Staffa, Canada, Nov. "a, 1874.
He was educated in the district schools
of his native community. His entire
life for the most part was spent on
the farm. He was united in marriage,
Nov. 4th, 1867, to Miss Esther Todd,
who survives him. In 1877 he re-
mlged to Cambridge, Minnesota, whess
h9 liaas his homo ahtiI Febr0ary
lasot when he removed 10 Washington
Territory, settling on a ranch near
Evansville.
There were born to him six child
ren, of whom two died in infancy.
The surviving children are: Mrs,
Elsie Hartford, of NezPerce, Idaho :;
Mrs. Nellie Harris Of Seattle; Mr..
William Yeo and Miss Grace Yeo of
this city. Mr.. Yeo might truthfully
be described as a life long Christian.
In early manhood he united with the
United Presbyterian church of Canada.
Shortly after his settlement in Wash
ington he with his family united with
the then existing Congregational church
of Evansville. On January Is, 1905,
he united with the United Presbyter-
ian church of this city. Mr.. Yeo
was quiet, unobtrusive man; fair
and honorable in all his dealings he
commanded the high regard and res
pect of all who knew him. This
spontaneous tribute was expressed by
more than one man on the street when
MS death was announced; "Mr. Yeo
was one OF the best men ever knew. "
lhose VINO knew him best loved him
most The secret springs of his life
of integrity and devotion was the fear
OF God, and his faith and love for bis
Savior. His death, despite exouisite
suffering of the body, was triumnbant

the thing in which the second largest
amount of taxes is expended and
"hieh means so much for economy and
social and educational advantages there
should be better executive system
than the present irresponsible and in
efficient one. Certainly the executive
head of the road engineering of the
state should have almost as much a.

engineering should have as efficient
and responsible a system as that of the

who would have the entire oversight
of the road engineering of the whole
state, and be given sufficiently large
salary. He should be chosen for his
executive ability rather than for his
technical skill or knowledge. Certain
provisions should be made by law for
the organization of the system, but
the executive work should be left
! largely in the hands of the chief Off
Ger who should be held as responsible
as possible for good work. Under
this officer should be the state Engin-
eer, man of technical ability and
of as much experience as possible, an

Professor and Mrs. E. f. Elliott
returned early in the week from
month s stay in the East. The pro-

matter of celebrating up, and have
appoint committees and raised funds
