For Good Roads.

During the great amount of bad
weather we have been having the
past season. there has been q great
deal OF trouble with some of the
country roads in heavy ground.
While We have not travelled over
any vi them, our past experience
would indicate to lis that the road
to Elhnwood, between the creek
and Dartmouth, the Hoisington
road between this city and the
creek. and across the bottom, and
Il several other places, would be
very difficult to travel. The
King road drag has come in for a
great deal of favorable comment,
and the following will show that
|
there is some reason for it.
We have never been a very
great enthusiast on road dragging
until the other day says a cores
pondent in the Mail and Breeze
As we have the honor of being
road boss in this "deestrik" we
rugged up an old drag we had.
piled on a few rocks, hitched up
four horses and drag ged the main
big road from Oxford for four
miles south. Well, the first
praise was from a woman. And
then. when ! would meet anyone,
it was, Il tell you, that's a differ
ent road. 1t was very muddy and
was drying up very hard, but the
old drag just did the business all
right. We expect to continue the
dragging whenever necessary, for
we now know the good of it by
experience. After we have given
ita thorough test we may give
you few pointers. :"
With reference to the great
amount of trouble we have been
having with the sandy road from
the bridge south, the following
experience may be of benefit.
The township board of Smoky
Hill township. Geary county, is
doing good work this year with
bad roads in their township. Ac-
cordlng to the Girard News the
work on the big sand hill west of
junction City has been completed
and the road now is as good as
any In the county. This hill for
years mas been a bad one. The
road was cut down from l to. 5
feet, and graded up for a distance
of nearly 500 feet, then covered 9
feet deep with clay.
The former cure for bad roads
would be inexpensive. but in this
country the cure for the sandy
road would cost money. Proba-
bly, as much as to ship ballast in

ready Has a Flourishing Chapter in
Minneapolis.

Plans for the establishment Of club
rooms for the Minneapolis chapter of
the Theatrical Mechanics association.
fraternal organization Of persons en-
ployed in the theatrical business, are
now under discussion. The lodge has
existed in Minneapolis for only four
weeks, but it has $50 resident mem
tory to fitting up a home of its own,
the lodge will give a spectacular bene-
fit entertainment.
AS many actors of note in the United
States, Great Britain and Europe are
members of the association, the talent
which will be at the disposal of the
local lodge when it gives a show will
include almost every male member of
the profession in the city at the time.

tsed that when it does come it will
make all previous efforts along similar
lines look like amateur attempts.
Organized by the stagehands of New
York in the year 1868, the Theatrical
Mechanics association has broadened
Its field Of membership to take in
theater.1 At the same, time it has
spread, thru the organization Of new
lodges, until today it covers the entire
civilized world. The strength Of the
order in the United States is indicated
SSby the fact that it contributed 100000

Locomotive Engineers Have No Thoughts
Of Labor Warfare.

Of Labor Warfare.
Notwithstanding the many reports of
impending trouble and possibly a series
Of strikes on the large railway systems,
by the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers, there is really little danger of a
strike or of any trouble. For q month.
stories of impending trouble have been
common. It has been reported that the
engineers are demanding more pay,
shorter hours, and changes in the pres
ent standard Of physical requirements;
failing to secure which they will strike.
' An engineer prominent in the councils
Of the Brotherhood" of Locomotive En-
gineers is authority for the statement
that there Is no likelihood of an open
break. The continued reports have
served to stir up the engineers and to
make more emphatic their denials of
possible trouble. 1t is probable that q,
formal statement to this effect will be
issued within ten days, when the grew
ance committee Of the organization will
meet IN Chicago. -' =,
The engineers organization will prob
ably ask some changes Of the railroads.
There is no plan on foot to demand an
increase in wages, but relief will
asked in other ways. The engineers will
probably ask a lower maximum on the
continuous running time of all engineers
The general grievance committee will
meet Dec. 10 in Chicago and these SUBJ
jects will be discussed and put in shape
to be placed before the railroad officials.

Mr.. Hill so stated, incidentally, in
