Good Roads Experiment.

An interesting experiment in road
building has been put in motion by the
people of Spokane county. A portion
of one of the leading highways was
filled with sand and almost impossible
for loaded wagons. The road had been
covered with straw many times, but
that did little good except for tempo
rary use. The county commissioners
decided to macadamize the bad place.
which measured l,65O feet. A gang of
fifteen men and six teams was set to
work under the direction of an expert
in road making. A stone bed of eigh-
teen inches was put in and the road
made perfect in two weeks.
When the farmers saw what could
be done in road building they donated
fifty-six additional days work and will
complete the road for another thousand
feet. The approximate cost of the
work was one dollar per running foot
of fourteen foot roadway. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of extending the
road will average rs cents a foot. The
road, as it is now constructed, will last
for many years. 1t has cost many
times the investment made in stone
and labor for keeping it in repair for
the past years. And the expense was
more than wasted. 1t represents only
few days hauling when the grain
harvest was in force.
Good roads are necessary for every
farming community. They give finan-
cial results to the city and county. The
expense is not nearly so great as gen.
orally represented. When the peo-
pie get to work and show what can be
accomplished with little money those
having charge of public funds will not
be so slow in expending portion to
assist in building roads. Present farm
ing conditions demand better methods
of transportation. Old systems of poll
tax and patching up dirt roads must
become things of the past. 1t is time
for the commissioners of every county
in the state to wake up to the interest
of the people and build more macadam
roads

Insane BY Fear OF Harm To Child.

Alleging that conductors threat to
throw her child off train for non-pay-
ment of fare made his wife a raving
maniac, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer, Joseph Figelski has brought
suit against the Great Northern railway
for $50, 900 damages. The woman is
now an inmate of the state hospital for
insane at Medical Lake, and has been
confined in that institution since, it is
alleged, she left the train in question
at Spokane two years ago. Her
husband alleges she is incurable and
that her frenzied moments raves of the
child being thrown from the car win
dow. He charges that she was en-rOute
from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Wenat-
chez, Wash, when the conductor on
the Great Falls division insisted that
an additional ticket should be pur-
chased for one of the seven children
that accompanied her. He says she
explained that she had exhausted her
funds, whereupon the conductor
threatened to hurl one child through the
car window and that the woman i'm
mediately became violently insane.

SACK SHORTAGE IS LOOMING UP
Prison Jute Mn Is Handicapped BY
Lack Of Money for Raw
Material.

Farmers throughout Eastern Wash
ington are discussing the matter of an
expected grain sack shortage next
year, says the Walla Walla Bulletin,
caused by shortage of jute, and are
wondering how the crops will be han
died. At the present time the jute
mill at the penitentiary is being run
about day and half week, when it
should be turning out from $4,000 to
40, 900 sacks day.
The shortage will, it is expected,
seriously handicap the farmers in the
handling of their crops, as they will
have to depend on foreign importations
of sacks, which are held at such high
figure as to make the question serious
one.
The direct cause is said to be short
age of jute, caused by the revolving
fund of the state institutions which
does not revolve. The fund, which is
intended to answer the purpose of pay
ing the necessary expenses of the vari-
GUS state institutions, is appropriated
by the legislature and the surplus goes
back to the state treasury. 1t stays
there until the legislature meets and
appropriates it again for the revolving
fund, when it can be used. The legis-
lature will not meet until after the
first of the year, and consequently the
revolving fund surplus is now lying idle
in the state treasury and the surplus of
jute at the state prison is running
low.
Farmers are fearful of the results
next year, as the sack question is one of
great Importance in this section. The
prison-made sacks usually sell at from
6 to cents each, while the imported
article can not be obtained for less
than II or IL cents. With the present
outlook the outside sacks will have to
be depended upon to supply the needs
of the farmers.
Agitation is being made of propo-
sition to have the coming legislature
pass bill making the revolving fund
one that fulflls the functions of its
name so that plentiful supply of jute
may be kept on hand for use duriug the
winter months in making sacks, and it
is probable that an effort will be made
to introduce the bill next year.

High Water.

The recent very high water west OF
the Columbia river has again demon.
strated the wisdom and foresight OF
James j. Hill in building the North
bank road. At present both his trans
continental lines-the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific are "out of CON-
mission" simply because of washouts
along their Cascade divisions where a
brooklet of yesterday is a raging tor
rent today, sweeping away bridges,
roadbeds, tracks and sometimes rolling
stock as though made of tinder, thus
effectively crippling those roads whose
lines are built across the mountains.
In the North bank road Mr.. Hill will in
all probability have line that will be
reasonably free from the disastrous ef-
fects of high water, and on which he
and the travelling public may rely with
reasonable assurance to serve them dur
ing such periods as that which both his
present roads are now experiencing.
But the only unpleasant effects which
Eastern Washington has experienced
during the present wet spell is in the
miserably poor mail service rendered
by the railroads.

The Winter School Of Mines at the
State College.

One of the most practical features
of the years work at the state college
is the winter school of mines. This
course is arranged for miners and pros
pectors or others interested in mining
who wish to gain some knowledge of
practical mining work. The course in
cludes sampling and crushing ores,
assaying for gold, silver and lead.
Chemical tests for important etal, wet
assays for various minerals, and how
to recognize important minerals by ap-
pearance and simple blow pipe tests.
The work is nearly all entirely prac-
tical. Only enough time in lectures
and theoretical work to give the stud
ent clear idea of the why and where
Of different operations. The lectures
consist mainly of personal instructions
in the laboratories during the course of
the work. They are given by men
thoroughly experienced and in touch
with all the latest Developments in
mining and ore treatment.
The lectures given in the department
of mining engineering of the college
men taking the four year course are
also open to students in the winter
school of mines. No entrance exami-
nationa are held, but only mature men
will be admitted to the course. A GER
tificate will be issued to those who COM
plete the course and satisfy the in
structors of their proficiency in the
work undertak en-.
The course will begin January 3, and
continue for twelve weeks. Students
will be enrolled not later than one week
after the opening of the course. Any
one wishing detailed information in re-
gard to the word they may obtain
same by applying at Prof. F. A. Thom-
son or the registrar of the college.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW FAVORED.
National Congress to Draft Measures
To be Adopted In Every State.

Lawyers, clergymen and men of af-
fairs, representing many states, as
sembled at the Bellevue-Stratford in
Philadelphia last week at the opening
of the second meeting of the National
Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws.
The attendance was larger and of a
more representative character than
that of the first meeting, which was
held in Washington last spring.
The present meeting is to consider
the draft of statute which the con-
gress will seek to have adopted in
every state of the Union. The statute
was drafted by committee of eminent
lawyers and jurists and prominent
clergymen, all of whom are conversant
with the so-called divorce evil.
The act is divided into three chapters.
The first consists of judicial provisions;
the second procedure, and the third,
general provisions, and is entitled "An
act regulating annulment of marriage,
and divorce. While little or no
change is made in the given causes for
divorce as now existing, certain pro-
visions were evidently made with a
view of arresting the increasing de-
mand for legal severance of marital
bonds.
Under these provisions secret, or
''star chamber" sessions for hearing
divorce cases before masters or other
representatives of the courts are done
away with, and "all hearings and trials
shall be had before the court 80 = and
in all cases be public" 1t is also pro-
vided that decree dissolving the mar
riage tie so completely as to permit
the remarriage of either party should
not become operative until the lapse of
reasonable time after hearing or trial
upon the merits of the case" The
Wisconsin, Illinois and California rule
of one year is recommended.
Another part of the proposed law
prohibits the solicitation of a divorce
case by advertisement, circular or
otherwise, and prescribes for such an
offense fine of not more than 81 900
and Imprisonment of not more than one
year. Annulment of the marriage con-
tract, as distinguished from divorce,
will be made for the following causes:
Impotency, consanguity, existing for
mer marriage, fraud, force or coercion,
insanity and illegal age.
Divorce, it is provided, shall be Of
two kinds absolute, and divorce from
bed and board. Under the first classifi-
cation the grounds shall be adultery,
bigamy, conviction and sentence for
crime, followed by two years continual
imprisonment; extreme cruelty; wilful
desertiOn; and habitual drunk enness for
two years. The same cause will pre-
vail in the second class with the ad-
ditional cause of hopeless insanity Of
the husband!'
No divorce shall be granted If it ap-
pears to the satisfaction of the court
that the suit has been brought by col
lusiOn or that the plaintiff has secured
or connived at the offense charged, or
has condoned it or has been guilty of
adultery not condoned. The new law
also makes some important changes in
the practice and procedure in divorce
cases and their trial.

CUT OFF PART OF SPOKANE COUNTY.
Effort viii be Made to Have leglsIa.
ture Pass Law Doing So.

Is Spokane county willing to give up
Chatteroy. Elk and Milan? Should
Mount Carlton, grand "Old Badly, "
be cut off and attached to a new county
with Newport as its court house town?
The division of Stevens county and the
addition of part of Spokane county
for the purpose OF forming "a new coun-
ty, with Newport as the county seat,
is question which is reported as
just now being seriously talked of by
Pend d'Oreille Valley people. The
exact territory to be affected can not
now. with certainty. be described, but
it is stated to be quite probable that
about Is townships in the county of
Stevens, along the Pend d'Oreille river
together with six or eight townships in
the northeast part of Spokane county
would furnish the necessary wealth and
population for new county.
Now, the people living for SO miles
or more down the Pend d'Oreille valley
have to travel by boat to Newport,
thence about 100 miles by rail to Col
vile, the present county seat.
at is said that the people of the
Colville and Columbia river valley, rec
ognizing the unsatisfactory public serv-
ice given the southeastern part of the
county are not averse to a division of
the county in a way that will meet the
approval of both sections of the coun-
try" asserts Stevens county report
er, "and this being the condition, there
is every assurance that the division will
be made and a new county formed by
the legislature this winter"

All western roads announced that
they would discontinue the practice Of
issuing free transportation or reduced
rates to land agents, and majority Of
the so, 900 land agents who are regis
tered with the Western trunk line CON-
mittee will find themselves out of work.
This action was taken because the in
terstate commerce commission ruled
that the issuance of such Transports
tion was illegal. Under the new con-
ditions the methods employed in colon
izing the country west of the Mississ-
ippi must be revolutionized Under the
old system the rates were put down to
a point where prospective settlers could
look for new homes at small cost.

Mrs. Russell Sage will give away the
bulk of fortune of about $50, 900, 900
bequeathed to her by her late husband
to individuals whom she considers
worthy, who, through no fault of their
own, are SO unfortunate as to need as
sistance and too proud to ask. 1t will
not be given to endow churches, nor to
those who write begging letters. Mrs.
Sage said she would do all she could,
however, for struggling churches and

needy and sick. 81 shall keep only
sufficient of the fortune left to me by

Bound to Get Il In the Neck.

As result of the failure of the state
board of control to secure a supply of
jute for the operation of the grain bag
factory at the penitentiary, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin, the farmers of
Eastern Washington will be mulcted
out of from $500, 600 to $3.50, 900, and
possibly more, during the coming sea-
son. Already the jute mill has been
practically shut down for two months,
running less than day week on ac-
count of having no jute. This is the
season when the mill should be kept
busy making bags for next years
delivery.
With no jute on hand to speak of,
and none ordered, and at least 70 days
required for supply to be secured
when ordered, the penitentiary jute
mill is not going to be able to supply
but little of the demand for grain
bags next season. Warden Kees says
he is preparing statement that will
show just how many bags he will be
able to turn out during the balance
of this year from the supply of jute
now on hand, but only limited num-
ber can be made and the supply will
have no effect on the market price.
During the first two days of his ad-
ministration Warden Kincaid sold
1000 bags to be delivered immedi-
ately, and he states that this will
nearly exhaust the supply of jute on
hand, making an allowance for other
requirements than for grain bags.
The failure to secure sufficient
supply of jute is explained by Warden
Kncaid, who was chairman of the
board of control up to the time of his
appointment as warden, on the grounds
that there was no money in the re-
volving fund at the time it is usually
ordered and it has since arisen in price
from $18 bale to $3.50.
In any event the farmers of Eastern
Washington are going to be up against
an open market for their supply of
grain bags during 1907, and from
present indications the price is going
to be away up in the clouds.
Farmers blame the state board of
control for this condition and freely
censure its apparent lack of business
management. The chances are that
the effort to get an appropriation for
increasing the equipment of the jute
mill will meet with little encourage
ment by the coming legislature. Prac-
tically an entire season will be lost by
the failure to secure supply of jute
and already several weeks have been
lost on that account with no immedi-
ate prospect of relieving the situationo
