In supporting the farmers resid-
ing north of town, in their efforts to
secure a shorter aud better road into
town, the Commercial association
at its meeting Tuesday evening took
commendable action. The association
will assist the farmers in raising the
necessary funds to pay for the land
required for the road. The opening
of the new road which will parallel
the w. & @. r. railway, will save to
those using it long, heavy pull in
addition to shortening the distance
from town to the territory affected.
Road building, like street making,
resolves itself into a matter of time
saving, convenience and adaptibility
in serving as thoroughfare to the
benefit of the greatest number of peo-
pie possible. This taken into con-
sideration just law makes it permis-
sible, with payment for right of way
together with damages, if any accrue,
to open public highways. In this
instance, as in many others, opposi-
tion to opening the road will be en-
countered, but the Press believes that
once the road is put in shape for

There is one allegation filed in Mr.
Dodd' suit to recover control of the
Pendleton Tribune that may be with
drawn, i. e. "That the Tribune may
be managed in the interests of the
democratic party" or words to that
effect-for the reason that by virtue
of the appointment of a receiver,
Mr.. Jodd is on the paper again. He
has come into his own, and if there
ever was the least chance to turn the
Tribune's tide of influence (?) toward
the vortex of democracy, it was melted
into a feecy shadow when Mr..
Codd refused Stillman's offer to take
up that $4,000 mortgage which is
not due until August next. To be
sure it was only chance, and Still
man lost. Though his heart was in the
right place, he couldn't win out.
How could he, with Mr.. Podd's aspir-
ations to be the republican boss of the
Tribune, in preference to standing
around with $4,000 jingle (not in his
pockets) but in Stewarts-and think
ing of what might have been? And
so the $4,000 mortgage, and not Mr..
zodd, stood pat. and he-Mr Todd
has his job, until August, at least.
That Mr.. Vodd is republican, no one
up this way will dispute. Not that
he has accomplished anything except
ionally brilliant for his party does this
accepted theory prevail, but mainly
through the medium of the Tribune on
every presentable occasion, asserting
that Mr.. Wodd is a republican. Most
emphatically would this appear to
be the basis of the theory, when it is
taken into consideration the material
aid the Tribune, under Mr.. Modd's s
management, has been to the demo
cratic party in this county. On the
whole we do not believe Mr.. Stillman
lost anything when he lost the chance.

NEGRO BUSINESS MAN.
9aised Seventy-two Thousand Bushels
of Potatoes Last Year.

Booker T. Washington has an arti-
Gle in the American Illustrated Maga-
zine for January, entitled "The Negro
in Business He tells of the really
remarkable success of particular
negro, Groves by name, and then
tells what Groves says about it. Mr.
Washington says:
But why is Mr.. Groves called "The
Negro Potato King?" Let me
answer. Last year he produced upon
his farm 72,150 bushels of white po-
tatoes, averaging 245 bushels to the
acre. So far as reports show, this
was 1850 bushels more than any
other individual grower in the world
produced. And besides the potatoes
raised on his own farm, Mr.. Groves
buys and ships potatoes on a large
scale. Last year he bought from
white growers in the Kaw Valley, and
shipped away twenty-five cars of
white potatoes. He also bought
fourteen cars of fancy seed potatoes
in North and South Dakota, which he
sold to growers in the Kaw Valley,
and in Oklahoma and the Indian Ter
ritory. Mr.. Groves says that he ships
potatoes and other farm products to
nearly every portion of the United
States, and to Mexico and Canada.
At the recent meeting of the Ma.
tional Negro Business League in New
York. Mr.. Groves was asked how he
was able to conduct SO varied and
large business enterprises, when he
had had no education as a business
man.
You. have children, haven't your"
Mr.. Groves replied.
YES" said the other. Some Of
them are grown up now"
How do you manage your grown
up children?"
sOh, get along with them," replied
his friend, laughing. you see have
known them long time"
That's just the way with my busi-
ness" said Mr.. Groves. II started in
with 1t when 1t was a baby, and I've
had chance to get thoroughly ac-
quainted with 1t as 1t grew up"

Warning to Owners Of Range Ami
mails.

Denver.-Complaints are beginning
to come to the State Board of Child
and Animal Protection about horses
snowbound and starving in the noun
tains in the southwestern part OF the
state. Their owners have not rounded
them up and got them down into the
valleys where they can get feed and
care. Last year many animals were
left to starve and die because it re-
quired some efforts of their owners
to get them out. This year when 1t
becomes necessary for the Board OF
Child and Animal Protection to gather
and feed stock SO neglected the owner
will be prosecuted as well.
In times past owners have found 1t
cheap and satisfactory to wait until
officers gathered and fed their ami
mails. Then, II they survived, they
had ten days in which to come in,
pay the actual cost and take the ami.
mails. II they died they would roast
the oficers and refuse to pay the bill
The board feels that the time has
gone by to do for the owner the work
he ought to do for himself and that
the vast amount of suffering the ami
mails undergo before they can be
reached and helped. II that can be
done at all. may better be prevented
by compelling the owners to look out
for them beforehand.

RoosEvELT's GUIDE.
Granted Special License to Conduct .
Hunting Lodge.

Hunting Lodge.
Jacob Borah, the veteran guide OF
Colorado, who has had charge Of more
than one of President Roosvelt's fam
GUS hunting expeditions in the state.
has been granted by the government a
special personal license to continue
conducting a hunting lodge at Deep
Lake, on the White River forest reser-
walton. This is the notice received by
Deputy United States District Attorney
Knaebel from the secretary Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. AS result
the proceeding brought by Mr.. Knaebel
asking that the regular license which
was secured by Borah to conduct the
lodge in the first place be Cancelled
were dismissed.
It seems that Borah once sold the
place to other parties. who turned it
into a questionable resort. He after
ward bought 1t back, but the forest
rangers feared he might sell 1t again
to irresponsible persons and made the
application for canceling the license.
In the letter of the secretary Of agri-
culture it is stated that the guide has
given sufficient personal assurances
that he will never again let 1t go into
other hands and would take charge Of
it in person.
The lodge has been for several years
the rendezvous of lovers of hunting.
and 1t was through the efforts of some
of these that the government granted
Borah the privilege which he has OBJ
tanned.

iNclPIENT CONSUMPTION.
How Food Headed on the Insidious
Disease.


The happy wife of a good old fash
toned Michigan farmer says:
In the spring Of 1902 was taken
sick-a general breaking down, as it
were. l was excessively nervous,
could not sleep well at night. my food
seemed to do me no good, and I was
SO weak l could scarcely walk across
the room.
THE doctor said my condition ,,as
due to overwork and close confine-
ment and that he very much feared
that consumption would set in. For
several months l took one kind of
medicine after another, but with no
good effect-in fact, seemed to grow
worse.
Then determined to Quit all medi-
cines, give up coffee and see what
Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I
began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar
and cream and bread and butter three
times a day.
"The effect was surprising! be-
gan to gain flesh and strength forth
with, my nerves quieted down and
grew normally steady and sound.
sweet sleep came back to me. In six
weeks time discharged the hired
girl and commenced to do my own
housework for family of six. This
was two years ago. and am doing it
still and enjoy it." Name given by

Denver.-With insanity on the in
crease In Colorado. the State Insane
Asylum crowded to its utmost capac-
ity, sixty insane women waiting in the
Denver County Hospital for accommo-
dations at Pueblo, and every county In
the state puzzling over the problem of
the care Of its own citizens who are
mentally unbalanced. DIR. A. p. Busey,
superintendent OF the Colorado asylum.
in his annual report strongly urges a
definite consideration Of the situation.
"Some person has said Colorado
could not take steps at this time to
make further provision for the insane,
what more worthy cause or what
greater charity Colorado has than the
insane upon which to bestow care and
protection.
MANY of these people have been
good citizens and taxpayers, and now
that they are helpless and defenseless
ton, and should not longer be kept
in almshouses, jails and other unfit
places OF abode.
IAN friends of the insane should
urge upon the next Legislature the i'm
portance of making some provision for
these unfortunate people, as other
| states do. The time to successfully
treat the insane is Immediately after
the attack begins, and this cannot be
done If some place is not provided
| where they can be taken. One reason
to-day why Colorado has SO many
hopeless, incurable insane is because
| they have been confined In jails and
poorhouses awaiting admission to the
overcrowded insane asylum, until
| their cases have become chronic and
incurable before they could obtain
treatment. This Is an injustice to the
insane. and inasmuch as the state has
these wards. 1t should have institutions
| In which to treat them"
There are at present in the institu-
tion at Pueblo 759 patients. OF whom
277 are women and 4S2 men. During
the year the total number treated was
901- New accommodations were made
last year for 800 additional patients
and these are almost all filled.
'The number of insane persons is
rapidly increasing throughout the
state" the superintendent declares
land more additions will have to be
provided or new asylum built. There
are sixty women now In the Denver
County Hospital awaiting admission
