GOOD HEALTH GIVERS
IMPROVED HIGHWAYS FROM A Med
lCAL POINT OF VIEW.

Michigan Physician Points Out the
Benefits and Disadvantages to Mann
kind of Fine and Bad Roads-value
of Trees Along Roadsides.
The medical man in pioneer DAYS
was many times one of the first to
blaze the path, to lay out the road or to
plan the highways, and it is fact that
In modern times he is one Of the first
to lend his knowledge and aid to fur
Their the movement Of good roads, says
Dr. e. B. Smith, secretary of the
Michigan College Of Medicine and Sur
gerry in the Auto Advocate and Coun-
try Roads.
Many years ago Michigan possessed
man Of sterling worth, broad intel
lect and keen observation for the re-
quirements Of the people Of his locality
and the needs Of good roads and the
retaining Of many acres for new set
tiers and clearing up Of the cause Of
much sickness and death. DR.. Henry
Wyman in about 1874 was a member
of the legislature from Lenawee coun-
ty. The district was a great cotton
wood swamp. Malaria and typhoid f.
yer prevailed every month of the year.
Through his efforts in the legislative
body DR.. Wyman secured appropria-
tons for digging ditch a considera-
BILE distance across Lenawee and well
into Monroe. They say that at that
time logs were felled, and over the
logs was thrown the dirt from the
ditch, which contained considerable
clay These logs were either fired on
purpose or by chance, and the fire
baked the clay into the brick sub
stance, and today going through this
country one can see the result OF that
baking process.
As result Of this ditching and turn
piking there areno more beautiful farms,
with people enjoying good health, in

THE HOMER OF PORTUGAL.
Camoens, the Gifted and Unfortunate
Author of saThe Lusiad"

Camoens, the Gifted and Unfortunate
Author of ssThe Lusiad."
sThe Lusiad'' Is one Of the noblest
records ever written Of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age Of Portugal, and Its
main feature Is the rounding Of the
Cape Of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana,
while most interesting episode is the
browning after death of Inez de Cas-
tro as queen Of Portugal. "The Lu-
siad" took it's name from Lusius, who
was said to have founded Lisbon.
Its author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly, was
blighted by the death Of broken heart
Of the lady Of his love, for whose sake
he was banished from the land He
wrote 1.-THE Lusiad'' In his Danish
ment and was recalled in 1911, losing
on the way all his property except
his poem. Pensioned at first by the
king, this great epic poet Of Portugal
died In great poverty in 1870, when his
patron was also dead

poets to Finish 1t In Year.
Ohio is to have a magnificent high
way extending across the state from
Pennsylvania to the Indiana line, says
a Cleveland (O.) special dispatch to the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch. Work upon it
will be commenced within a year by
the National Good Roads association.
This Is the information given out for
the first time recently by Colonel w.
Fl. Moore, president of the National
Good Roads association, who was in
Cleveland making arrangements for
opening an office in that city.
The road, which will be the first to
be built across a state under the aus
pieces of one organization since the old
federal roads, will be the equal of any
road in the United States and will cost
$1,50O,000 OF this amount Colonel
Moore says, $4,000 has already been
put up by certain interests that he will
not now reveal, and the remainder will
be obtained from the counties through
which it will pass.

Argument For Wide Tires.

A bill is proposed before the Virginia
legislature to place an extra tax on
wagons loaded with wood, tanbark.
railroad ties and other heavy drafts,
to be paid into the fund for road re
pairs. The idea is that such hauling
destroys the roads, says the Good
Roads Magazine, but is it not better
plan to institute a graded wide tire
ordinance, such as experience has
caused to be adopted in other states,
with perhaps a remittance or road
tax to encourage its adoption? The
wheels then become roadmakers in
stead of road breakers.

Reports from all sections of the

the arrival of the long hoped for rain
during the last few days. The Bear
Paws was treated pretty generally to
a heavy downpour Saturday and Snu-
day, and the ranchers on Box Elder
Creek say that stream ran more water
than it has at any time during the
two years; the ground was well wet
up and all the irrigation bitches were
running ull. These rains will do more
to revive the spirits our ranching
people, and also the town people, than
that has happened for long
time The Country was as dry as a
bone and but little seeding was being
done.

A 40 PER CENT VALUATION
SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION FOR
ASSESSORS YESTERDAY.
Real Estate And Personal Property
To Be Listed On fhe Same
Easis This Year.

Assessor E. II. Chitwood had all the
deputy assessors OF the county inlcon
ference here yesterday. He held what
might be called an assessors aXamina-
ton. He had prepared list Of instruc
tions, q copy OF which was furnished |
esch deputy. A list Of questions was
also prepared aud each deputy in turn
rose and answered these as he thought
they should be answered and made a
talk on the sui cts suggested by the
questions. Uniformity iu all the town
ships and cities and justice to each iu-
dividual as compared with his neigh
bors is the object OF these conferences.
lib this connection the assessor will
this year assess personal property AID
and real estate alike. That is cacn will
be taken vt 40 per cent OF its estimated
true valuation. Heretofore the real es-
tate has been assessed at 40 per cent and
personal property at GO per cent. This
plan has been followed all over the state
for long time, on the theory that more
or less of personal property is hidden
and that the GO per cent of it which is
listed is 20 larger proportion than the 40
per cert Of tne real estate, (which can
not be hidden.
But the banks all over the country are
obiecting to the discrin.iaai N and claim
that it does them irjustice. 4 similHr
condition of affairs in Kansas was taken
into the courts there and resulted in
decisions that such assessments were II
discrimination. The ruling of the courts
resulted in rebates of large suns OF
money to the banks who were able to
show that they had paid more than their
proportion of the taxes Oh account Of
the personal taxes being based on ex-
cessive valuation as compared with real
estate taxes. In this state therefore the
drift is all toward making real estate
and personal assessments the same and
this is the reason why the assess.
ments in this county will this year
actually be the same for each class OF
property.
1t is claimed that more personal pro-
perty will be- conscientiousiy listed il
the basis is the same. Under the new
method there will be no occasion to hide
any personal property in order to KEEP
even with the real estate owner in tax
paying Press.
