CANDIDATE LENRooT is narrowing the
state with frequent speeches. He tells
the "peepul" that Chairman Conner is
all wrong in saying that it is time to
stop fighting and go to gathering in the
results of their long contest for reform, y
etc. The fact is as this good, philan-
thropic man claims, that the 'peepul
do not know how miserable and unfor-
tunate they are:" and of course the only
way to get free and happy is to follow
his leadership and elect him governor.
And he will probably be unselfish enough
to leave sufficient bunch of unsup-
pressed woes at the close of his term for
a successor of kindred mind to use as
trading stock ard perpetuate again the
good work of saving the dear ''peeppl."

HERE'S AN HONEST ,n.um.
Found In Far North, Where He Breaks

Many curious instances of the ran

One of the tales is of native v ho

trading post which had been Locked
and abandoned for few weeks while
the white man in charge transa,. ted
business elsewhere. The Indian 4up.
piled his needs and he left pelts. in
payment for what he took and mo-, this
later he came back to ascertain IL he
had left enough.
The Indian found post closed w';en
when he went to 1t to dispose of his
skins. Being unwilling to wait he
forcibly entered and left his pack, but
nothing with it to indicate his ide.nti.
ty. Then he retired, fastening the
door as best he could and not until
a year later did he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story, the price of the s.ins

man had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but Just

An unsual degree of confidence is
reposed in the half-breeds, who are
lieutenants of the white traders. In
Edmonton / saw trader give on., OF

Roads In Bad Condition.

The people Of this part Of the town
have been waiting with much patience
for our road commissioner to repair our
roads. The long delay and the heavy
showers have put the same in the worst
condition they have been in for 20 years,
and they are a disgrace to any commun-
ity. Not a dollar has been laid out on
nearly two thirds of the roads in town
as yet. The road leading from here 10
Wardsboro, over which the mail has to
be carried daily, is unfit and not safe to
travel for one half of the distance-Ten
dollars laid out on this road in May
would have put 1t in better repair than
800 would today-What is true of this
one, is also true Of the rest, that have
been left Untouched. There should be
some one in every school district to see
that the water is turned out into the
bitches when it is liable to cause dam
age. "A stitch in time saves nine" here
II any where. This town has expended
for many years a tax for highway re-
pairs and II the same had been laid out
in May or June as 1t should have been,
we would now have good roads 10 travel
over. but to wait till September and Oc-
tober for the road commissioner to attend
to his own business first, and the people
have to travel over such roads as we
have now, is causing great dissatisfaction.
and justly, too. Newfane and Dover have
put their main roads leading to Wards
boro in good repair clear up to tho
town lines. A person coming from either
of these towns can very quickly tell when
he strikes Wardsboro. / am glad for one
that there isn't anything said here about
Old Home week for us as a town until
we can have something better than log
roads for those who would come here on
such an occasion, to travel over.
