Il was c0ntended by the dis
content. that the roads wee 20
bad during the rainy season last
year because they had not been
properly and sufficiently worked.
that more money should have
been spent on them. Why then
are the roads % bad nowo More
than ten thousand dollar. have
oe~n spent on them since the
month OF March Of this year. and
before the rain commenced this
summer they were in splendid
condition. Now in many local
tiles they are in bad, extremely
bad condition. although it has
beer raining only for about two
weeks. Vet they have been
thoroughly worked. and in most
places thoroughly drained. Why
i this? some Of our fellow-citi-
zen> did blame Il e police Jury
because the roads were bad last
year. The police jury has already
spent many thousand dollars on
them. and yet they became bad
lust as soon as the rain prevail.
Now. gentlemen, be fair and
admit your error, for YOU know
full well. that, no matter how we'll
he roads here are cared for and
worked. they cannot stand during

which vas tried on its merits some

able opinion, Judge Borah re-
iects the demand Of the plaintiffs,
holding. that the police jury are
the judges as to whether Or not
the parish should have a new
court house, or repair the old one,
and that as no fraud or gross
abuse OF power was either proved
or suggested, the detern ination of
the question was within the dis

Sentence Suspended.

H. Williams, claiming to be painter,
was arrested on Wednesday night of
last week for intoxication. He was
making considerable disturbance on the
streets when picked up by the officer.
He had in his possession a quantity of
cheap imitation jewelry. Upon being
questioned, he stated that the coat he
wore had been given him and that the
jewelry must have been put in the
pockets by the former owner, as he
knew nothing about it. Judge Brissell
decided that a three months s%ojourn in
the county Jail would very much i'm
prove him, but suspended sentence
upon Williams promise to reform and
secure employment at once, which the
prisoner said was possible for him to
obtain.

70 Guild Electric Road.

Col. Alonzo Trip, formerly general
manager of the Tonopah railroad, has
just returned from a trip to Reno,
where he went to look after the details
of a new enterprise he is contemplating.
He has an option on some property stu
ated at Steamboat Springs and is con-
sidering the building of a large sani-
tarium at that point. Steamboat
Springs are about eleven miles south of
Reno and if the deal is completed it is
proposed by Mr.. Trip to build an cleo
tric street line between the points. At
the Springs as we'll as along the route
of the proposed electric line the country
is very beautiful and with the necessary
railway facilities it is expected that
people will be attracted to this section
and that it will be but a matter of a
short time before the intervening coun-
try will be completely dotted with hand
some homesteads. So far the consider
alton of the project has been but of a
preliminary nature.

Special Excursion Rates.

The Tonopah and Gold6eld Railroad
company is offering special induce
ments in the way of reduced fares to
those desiring to pay a midsummer
visit to Lake Tahoe and other points of
interest and pleasure along the line of
the company's railroad. Lake Tahoe
is just the place to spend a few weeks
or the summer, boating, fishing and
camping. Special round trip rates
from Tonopah are as follows: A ten
day ticket 1923; a thirty-day ticket $25.
The special round-trip rate from Gold
geld is: Ten-day ticket, $25; t~hirty-day
ticket, $28. Train leaving Goldfeld at
6:55 a. m. (mountain time) and Tono-
pah at 8:25,a. m. mountain time) con-

Fireman's Hall.

The project to build a Fireman's
Hall is not dead, but good progress is
being made. Sheriff Mcmahon, n of
the prime movers in the undertaking,
said that matters were coming along
nicely and he confidently expected that
in a short time there would be enough
money subscribed to cover the cost
of the proposed hall as well as to
purchase a thoroughly u~p-to-date APP
paratus. 1t is the intention, if possible,
to secure horses to run the machines
and to have one or two regularly paid
men on duty at headquarters at all
times of the day and night. In conjunc-
ton with the ''paid men, a call system
will be inaugurated, so that in case of
fire the apparatus can be sent to the
scene of the blaze without delay and
the "call men" can go direct to the fire
as soon as the alarm is sounded, thereby
insuring a good working force almost
Immediately. Nothing has been said
about it, but it is to be hoped that the
reorganization will include the dividing
of the town into fire districts, and the
sounding on the bell the number of the
districts in which the fire is. Cards
giving the locations Of the various dis
tricts could be posted throughout the
camp in conspicuous places as well as
alongside the alarm bell. This would
permit the citizens to familiarize them
selves with the districts and thereby
prevent the confusion of signals. A
few more fire hydrants might be in
stalled to a great advantage.

Sentenced on vagrancy Charge.

In Justice Brissell's court on Thurs
day morning of last week James Burns
was sentenced to three months in the
county Jail, at hard labor. Burns was
arrested on Tuesday night while loiter-
ing on Florence avenue. At the time
of his arrest he was acting in a suspi-
cious manner and whenever approached
would pretend to be intoxicated. When
locked up he was searched and in his
possession was found a purse belonging
to Mrs. Mckay. The prisoner dis
claimed any knowledge of how the
pocket book got in his pocket, but adj
mitted the ownership of the coat. In
the absence of sufficient evidence il
was impossible to hold him on a charge
of larceny as he stated he had no ixet
abode Judge Brissell sentenced him OF
the charge of vagrancy.

MILITARY SNoBS.

Brass buttons, smart uniforms, the
adulation of womankind, security against
poverty and bit too much leisure are
some of the elements which go to make
frstclass snobs of frst-class soldiers, in
time of peace. In time Of war, snob-
berry quickly vanishes. 1t cannot survive
the first campaign. But it is offensive
to civilians in time of peace, and it is
utterly without excuse in this country,
where, according to an unofficial esti-
mate from the Army Building more
than 25 per cent of active officers have
arisen from the ranks, and where, in
point Of fact it is possible for man
with the right sort of stuff in him to
earn a commission in the same time
required to complete the course at West
Point. The Dreyfus case had it's origin
in snobbery, in the hatred of French
army officers drawn from the bourgeoise
against another class, really OF more an
cient lineage. The affair Dreyfus was
almost a tragedy. The latest bit Of
snobbery in the German army would,
on the contrary, afford excellent material
for farce-comedy, being none other than
the trial by court martial of Military
Reservist Schmidt for blowing his nose
in such manner as to betray either
scorn or disrespect of a military COM
mander. Generations ago it was crime
to sneeze in the presence Of royalty, and
It is misdemeanor to blow ones nose
TODAY in the presence of German army
officers. Poor Schmidt pleaded that hs

ASTORIA NEEDS IT BADLY!

There is an undercurTent OF talk Just
now. in circles hereabout that give color
to the premise, of the establishment of
jobbing house right here in Astoria,
built upon the present and future
exigencies of business life as they are
likely to develop here in the coming year
or two. 1t is no new idea with those
who are now discussing its feasibility,
for the proposition has had the sanction
of the leading men of this city for a
long time, and only takes its new i'm.
petus from the better and growing prom
ise that is arising, daily, for its success.
With less people and prospects. the city
of Aberdeen has made splendid sue
cess OF her venture in this line, and there
is nothing to stop Astoria from branch
ing out except inauition. If single
individual cannot find the means to
make the incursion let it be syndicated
by the wealthy men and firms of the
city, and on scale that shall put the pro-
ject beyond reliance on any city or port
on the coast, and on parallel with any
of them in scope and resources. There
will be urgent need of just such COM
mercial institution here to meet the
demands incident to the opening Of the
Tillamook country and all the interven-
ing territory, and the far side of the
Columbia is likely to contribute heavily
to such an enterprise when once it is
known the project has been launched
and this aside from the local patronage
that is sure to make use of SO patent a
convenience. Time is of the essence of
all such matters, and time must be al
lowed, but it is well to have the active
thought abroad doing the work of prep
aration and conserving the real and vital
value of the enterprise. 1t has got to
come, eventually, and there is no hour
like the present for the preliminary
work.
