policy and urged the club to take ac-
tion in the matter.
L. @. Monroe, secretary Of the
Chamber Of Commerce of Spokane,
was introduced and immediately en-
gagged the attention of all with his
we'll chosen remarks and his cheerful
way Of putting things. As an ex-
ample of what a Commercial club
could do for town with an album
dance Of natural resources. he spoke
Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, telling Of the
long hard struggle which, that city had
to gain its present standing as a CON-
nercial center. Cooperation was his
remedy for disorganized and weak
organization, backed by hard work.
Home industry and investments we're
dwelt upon. He spoke of Occur d.
Alene as a candidate for the capitol
Of the new state of Lincoln, should 1t
be formed, saying that Spokane did
not want the capitol and that Occur
d'Alene was far better adapted for the
hub of the new creation. He invited
the city and Commercial club to place
on exhibit in the Chamber Of Com
merce building in Spokane as we'll as
an abundance Of the better class Of
literature, regarding the country in
general. He also spoke Of Occur d.
lene as a site for a paper factory, and
of the inquiries he had had ON that
subject.
II. II. Barton, superintendent Of
schools, was introduced and stated
that while others were speaking Of
woodenware factories and other man
ufacturing interests, the schools, the
brain factories Of the country, should
not be neglected. He gave a short
history Of the schools Of the city and
what was being accomplished in the
way of advancement, as well as what
had been done when the high school
was placed on such basis that grad
yates could enter the university of
the state without examination. He
spoke feelingly of the efforts of the
Swedish Lutheran college and what it
would mean to the city. His re
marks we're we'll chosen and hearth
ly received.
Following remarks by Mr.. Barton,
the quartette rendered another pleas
ing selection, after which F. D. VIM,
of the firm of VIM Barr Chainey COM
pany, addressed the assemblage on
"Couer d'Alene Merchants" His
remarks we're pleasing, bearing on the
friendly relations between our mer-
chants and those Of Spokane, the adj
justment of the freight rates and the
Importance of the mercantile interests
of the city.

 EITHER HOT OR COLD.-Almost every boy has read the fable of the satyr who watched the man blow on his fingers to warm them and then blow upon his poSridge to cool it. In his opinion one who could thus blow hot and cold was not to be trusted farther than good able bodied satyr could throw d bull by the tail. H. l. Latham has a device which would arouse the suspicious of the satyr to still higher degree. It is a recepta cle called 'thermis bottle" of recsst invention, designed to preserve the temperature of it's contents.

C0NBITIGN OF HIGHWAYS 700 MILES OF ROADS Commissioner Macdonald's
 Circular to Selectmen
 For Information.

Highway Commissioner Jemes H. Macdonald has sent to the selectmen of towns in the State blank form of reports to show the condition of the sections of highway improved by the State from 1895, when the highway department was created by an act of the general assembly, to the present time. The forms contain seventeen questions, and the answers to these questions will give the commissioner the information which he desires. 4
 Accompanying the forms is a dummy" which will indicate to the selectnen the form of the answers they are required to make. The dummy" is designed as an example chart" There is also sent with the forms and dummy" circular from the commissioner. The circular is as follows

 was Harry Vardon's second shot for
 the home hole at St. Andrews in the open championship of 1905. Instead or reaching the green with his usual dex- terlty, the highly lofted ball went oil at a tangent and brought up on the Proof of one of the largs houses that overlook that part of the course.
 Yardon has no doubt forgotten the brassey shot he played to the green at l the Blue Mountain Lake course in the I Adirondacks. He played the best ball of the amateurs, J. Stewart Gillespie and Harry Roy sweny, and, as Var
 don's sliced drive brought up on top ! of a tree stump, they felt confident I that a four win win the hole. The stump was dry and rotten, the ball being teed on it, but a foot at least from the ground. Taking careful aim' for to say stance would hardly be eX- act Vardon lifted the ball off with brassey. A cloud of dust and punk fol- flowed the impact, but the ball made the 1 green and the Englishman got his four.

 green. J. R. Maxwell Jr,, has holed l full iron shot for two on the fourth hole at the Nassau Country Club, and
 which fixes it in the memory of the members, D. A. Loring made the "cir-
 cus'' hole, where the green is guarded ! by circular bunker, in one the same day. Some such connection of ideas is
 needed to fix the holing out of an iron

 of the clubs; for even though a bunk CT may be in the way such feats are al-
 most as frequent as to run down in

upon to pay three-fourths of the ex- pense incurred in the making of all necessary repairs on all roads that have been improved under State aid since 1895. This will include all work that has been done by the State, eith- CT in grading, gravel UT macadam
 construction.
 This assumed obligation on the part
 of the State places approximately about seven hundred miles of roads
 in charge of my department. Few people realize what this means as an
 added care for the State, involving. as
 1t does, all roads built during the past
 teWlye years for. which State aid has
 been granted, and which embrace hundreds of sections of highway scat
 tered throughout one hundred and sixty-eight towns, covering an area of
 5,0O4 square miles.
 This, in itself, will require a great deal of time in brining about a com
 petentl plan to take care of the work economically and systematically Added to this Is the expenditure of nearly one million dollars per year for new work, and with this task before me, it becomes necessary to short cut everything I can to save time. With
 this end in view, so that I may save both time and money, I am asking you to assist me in getting an immedi- ate report of the condition of every
 section of highway constructed by the
 State in your town from the first ap- Fpropriation 10 date,
 A specially arrangeod chart is sent to you under another cover, so that you can make Investigation of your roads and record answers to all ques- tions on the chart. In this way, all towns will be at work at once pro- ' curing valuable information, and at the same time ensuring an immediate
 investigation and return of the in
 formation to my office. All of this
 information being tabuIated, it can

 be quickly digested and my depart ment will immediately proceed to adopt some system of organized effort to put our repair work into intelligent operation Make your report as full, complete and comprehensive as possi- ble, so that can at 8 glance know the actual condition of every section of road constructed under State aid. shah expect just as full report on a graded road as on section oi macadam.
 It may not be possible for me to do anything in the way of extended re- pairs this fall, except in extreme cas- es where there Is, great danger to the travelling public, or the entire destruc- ton of the road is threatened. But the reports from the several towns will materially assist me in gettinG

ready for the spring repairs and will furnish me with knowledge of ali roads needing immediate attention, so that l may act promptly in the spring.
 Perhaps I ought to say that 1t is. my purpose to construct a specification for the different classes of roads we have built whether the improvement was grading, gravel or macadam and let contracts to do the work outside for contractors, The specifications will be so drawn that the method og repair will be sinpliiled both In re- gard to the material to be used and the implements with which the work is to be done.
 May ask that you immediately en- ter upon this work and send in your eport without delay?

body was buried at Salem Cemetery

the hearts of fond parents. Like a
bright and beautiful flower touched
by a wintry blast the petals were
folded in death, but death itself
could not rob the fair form Of its

September.

In another week September will
be upon US. To the eye there is
no difference between August 81
and September 1, but to the i'm.
agination and the feelings the
lurch is great. All through Au-
gust, no m tier whether the
breezes blow hot or cold, up to
the final moment of the final day,
a certain dullness hangs over the
world and recognized laziness
possesses most of the race. There
is no ST" in the spelling Of the
month, and there is no hustle in
the blood. Men somehow expect
their fellow-men to live easily and
toll not more earnestly than they
have to. But on the stroke of the
first hour of September The
descent of the "r" on the world
seems to bring with it magic that
stirs the modern generation to &C.
ton. 1t summons to the mind the
fact that summer is really gone
and that it is now autumn. Play
time is past and the call to work
has been sounded.
There remain but few more
days of the play time. The sum-
mer which has sent us into the
woods and b eside the cooling
streams will soon have gone it's
way, and the turning, falling leaves
will sound the note of death to
nature that now is green and
living. If we have spent much
time out of doors and in the sun
shine we ought to be better for the
Ii not, it is all but too
late to share the summer and the
ldleness which in summer is neither
nor sinful.
Watch September /, watch the
early days of the new month, and
you will behold the metamorphosis
Of the city, the homecoming of
wanderers, the awakening of bust
ness, the dawn of a new season of
1opes--and the passing of an old
one. Courier journal.
