1t Is not due to any peculiar advan-
tage OF soil, and certainly not TO any
advantages Of climate that English
roads are better than American roads,
for IL one leaves the highway in the
English country, the lanes will be
found, by n travelling American, to
have a most homelike appearance IN
their rutted condition, and very
great contrast in the matter OF holes,
boys and boulders to the highway left
behind. No climate could be more
threatening to the solidity Of a road
way than the moist and Changeabl9
weather Of the British Isles,
STURDY APPEARANCE OF THE
BRIDGES.
In the matter Of bridges. solidity
seems to be the purpose in view. The
arches and retaining walls are built
Of stone, approaches are gradual and
when once the finishing touch Is put
upon one OF these structures, it will
with little supervision and care out
last even to many generations the men
whose handlwork it is. The solid ma
sorry arch, the heavy stone-capped
wall, and the gradual rise Of the road
way to the centre Of the bridge are
entirely unitarian in the minds Of
The builders, but they possess a GER
tain sturdy character of their own
which Is a form OF beauty welcomed
by the eye. Time softens the colorsr
Ivy creeps over the stones and In a
short space, even II newly built, one
Of these English country road bridges
takes q permanent place in the land
ecape giving the impression of always
having been there and Of intending
always to remain.
THEIR VALUE TO THE TEAMS
TER.
Aside from the beauty strength and
durability Of these macadam roads
and stone bridges, they possess an
economic value which plays a large
part In the conduct Of an English
farm where the margins Of profit are
email, and there Is no reason to be-
lieVe but that the American farmer,
especially In regions where the cult
walton Of the land IS more or less In.
tensive, we would find similar roads
and bridges Of enormous value
through an appreciate increase IN
his ability to reach his market in the
shortest time at the minimum eE-
pense and with the least motive power.

The disbandment Of the Tulsa team

and there was no business at the old

same result, the last straw cracked,
and the end was inevitable The
team was to have gone to Muskogee
yesterday, but Billy Rupp called all
bets of and wired for President Har-
per TO get another manager Harper
did not come, but talked consollngly
over the phone to Billy, telling HIM to
cheer up, that all over this broad
land of ours, base ball pilots were IN
a similar fix. Harper also stated that
Shawnee was anxious to butt into the
South Central again. Shawnee went
to all the trouble when it got into
the hole few weeks ago, to get out
and work up n horrible perspiration
in order to raise the necessary simo-

An effort yesterday to raise more
coin to carry on the team met with
dismal failure. The "dobbers of the

it wasn't winning an alarming num-
ber of games, and the rooters were
a-weary. And so endeth the chap

If temp, anee, wiz any ku Wedge Of
conditions As they exist at such places
would agree with me.
7. ii. COney, commander Of the de-
partment of Kansas. has had an ex-
perience in his efforts to protect the
inmates of the National Soldiers
Home at Leavenworth, which con
yinces him that the canteen should be
restored to the homes. He led the
fight against such places as the" Klon-
dixie" adjacent to the home, where
special inducements were held out to
the old soldiers, who were waylaid
and robbede after being stupefed with
vile liquor they obtained there.
Commander Coney says: In view
of my experience in endeavoring to
better the conditions of these com
rades in the homes, | am, as an ardent
temperance man and an advocate of
law, order and decency, opposed to
the adjustment of the canteen. "
j. +. Ayars, of Tulsa, department
commander of Indian Territory, is
emphatic in his opinion:
~ lived several years at Junction
City, Kansas, three miles from Fort
Riley \ part Of the time they had
the canteens at the fort. During that
time it was a rare sight to see a drum
ken soldier on the streets at Junction
City, but when the canteen was abol-
ished, the town was full of drunken
soldiers. and there resulted constant
annoyance to the city authorities, and
trouble to the officers at the fort. This
convinced me that the sale of beer
and light drinks at military post
was one advancing step toward tenn
perance. morality and sobriety | be-
lieve the same rule applies to the ma
tional soldiers homes. In my opinion
the act of congress will not advance
temperance. but increase drunkenness.
at will not improve the morals Of
the soldier. but make him more de-
praved, by causing him to mingle
with the inmates of low dives in order
to obtain what he thinks he has a
right to have. | believe the subject
will be taken up at Minneapolis. "

She earnestly sought happiness in
each ease. but missed it. il seems. by

COLONEL MELTON WINS OUT
Former Foreman Of World Lucky in
Shoshone Drawing.

\ Tulsa man was noe of the lucky
ones in the Shoshone land drawing,
WhIrl Is still in prCgress. 1lhs mri-
ldual Is Col. i, TLomas Melton, en-
ployed for time as night foreman of
the composing room at the World of
flee. Col. Melton left Tulsa about a
week ago to attend the drawing and
arrived al Shoshone, Wyoming, in
plenty of time to register. His num-
Der was drawn sixty-third, in a list
Of 1000, which gives him the sixty
third choice of land in an area 1000
times 100 acres.
Col. Melton left Tulsa in company
with Ed Blanchard and A. Hartman,
both printers, and both registered.
Neither of the other two had drawn
claims, however, to the time of leav-
ing Shoshoue. The party started on
their return to Tulsa a few days ago
aud the Colonel was the first to ar
rive, coming in yesterday morning.
In speaking of the Shoshone coun-
try. Colonel Melton says that it is
some of the finest farming land in
the country after it is irrigated, but
that bitches have to be run over the
land before it would be profitable to
work. A company offers to irriga;e
all of the land for $50 an acre, and
the land has to be bought from the
government at a nominal cost. After
a patent has been issued and the land
cultivated. however. is will be worth
thousands of dollars. The valley is
located in the high land of Wyoming
between two rivers, and while arid
in many places, with the advent of
water, becomes a veritable paradise
The Tulsa man is particularly lucky
in getting his pick of the land so
near the first and the chances are
that he will return and prove up
his claim although many who reg
istered and were given claims will
not do so. There were 1925 grants
to be made out of more than 10000
registrations. The other Tulsa boys
have not been heard from since they
left Wyoming on the return trip.

DIVORCE FOR PRAYING.

on the unusual grounds that her hus-
band "annoys his neighbors by going
to their houses to pray for them, dis
turbs the rest of herself and little
ones by going through the house pray
ing loudly at all times of the night
and at other times makes life miser-
able for her by praying loudly and de-
family for her" In this connection
it wants to be remembered that while
the Good Book commands, "Pray
without ceasing." it doesn't enjoin
"praying aloud"

Guthrie, Ok. Nov. 24.-The
question Of county boundaries and
the location Of county seats is one
Of absorbing interest at the present
time. and there are no lobbies
buster than the men who are
watching the special interests Of
the various towns that are appli-
cants for county seat honors. In
his speech Of acceptance. on the
opening day Of the constitutional
convention President Murray stat-
ed that he understood thar there
were at least one hundred Of the
one hundred and twelve delegates
who would like to he the chairman
on the committee to SIX county
boundaries, and be might not have
missed it by stating that all the
one hundred and twelve are appli-
cants for that position.
In addition to Indian Territory,
where all the counties and county
seats are to be provided, there are
also some 6ghts of this same nature
in Oklahoma Territory. 1t is pro-
posed to make seven counties Of
the three counties Of Greer, Kiowa
and Comanche. The county Of
Greer is, like ahcient Caul, to be
divided into three parts, with the
capitals located at Mangum, Hollis
