Commissioners and Judge Merlin
are Visiting Canadian Bridge.
The County Commissioners, w, A.
Campbell, j. w. Kermerly, j. B..
Kerr and j. G.. Claybrook, with
Judge Sam Merrill in charge left
his morning for the Canadian river
bridge. The party was provided
with blankets and camp equipment
and will probably spend the night
at the bridge camp.
While the court Is satisfied with
The reports of progress on the bridge
Rip inspection trip is made for the
purpose of making all the members
lf the court thoroughly familiar
with the plan adm mode of work.
Judge Merrill is much pleased with
he showing already made and Is
sure that the work will meet the
ppToyal Of the entire court.
Captain j. C. Lee, the we'll known
north Canadian ranchman has acted
or the county as inspector and has
subjected every step Of the work to
90 scrutiny. There are few mon
in the country who are so thorough
" familiar with the ways of the.
ucacherous Canadian than Captain
Lee. &c is vitality interested in the
construction of the bridge ulo
one of the enthusiastic opponents
of the brige proposition. His place
is just north of the river and about
half mile from the site of the
bridge. He is deyoting a great deal
of attention to the work and it is
safe guess that with Captain Lee on
the ground the work will be done
according to the official plans.

The Engineer In the Cab.

There have been of late so many
cases of the sudden disahlement OF
the engineer at the throttle, thereby
leaving the train without control, as
to lead to q renewed discussion of the
question OF placing two engineers in
the cab, at least on the more import.
ant fast trains, There was Il time, in
the days Of smaller locomotives, when
the fireman had more leisure than now
for general observation, both OF the
signals and conditions in the cab,
He was in closer touch with the en-
giuecr. Today, however, the locomo.
tivcs have increased to such large di-
mensons that the attention and ener-
gy OF the fireman are fully occupied
in keeping the huge furnaces fully sup
piled with fuel, and the boiler with
water Not so very many years ago
1900 square feet Of heating surface
was the maximum to be found on most
of even the largest engines; but to-
day the standard express passenger
engine will have from $500 to $500
square feet Of surface, and the most
powerful freight locomotives from
4, 700 to $500 square feet. From per.
sonal experience when riding in the
cab Of fast and heavy passenger trains,
we know that what time the fireman
is not shoyeling coal, he is attending
to his injector or pcering ahead for the
first glimpse Of the signals. 1t is our
conviction that locomotives have
grown to such a size, that the rail.

Philippine islands.

Zamboanga, Moro Province, r. l.
Speaking OF the progress made in
Moroland under General Woods ad.
minstra,ion, the Manila Times said:
General Wood is pursuing a policy
not only so broad and liberal, but SO
progressive, energetic and enlightened
withal that it is attracting a very de-
sirable class of settlers to Mindanao
and its tributary islands, who are de-
voting their lives, the very best that is
in them, TO the building up and devel-
Oping OF the young country with which
they have cast their lot and which
they intend to make their own. 1t
seems TO be General Woods platform:
Il am an American and | have con-
iidence in the ability ard disposition OF
my countrymen TO give ne material
aid il civilizing and Americaniziug
this tropical oriental country. | be-
lleve in them, trust their loyalty and
patriotism, and | can conceive Of no
better medium through which to in.
cuLcate American ideals aud to set up
American standards among the Moros
than that Of sturdy, high-minded
young Americans scattered about
through the province. l wish to have
an American government here, and
need Americans Of the right sort to
help me make and maintain it. ! do
not want more American soldiers, but
| do want more American settlers
III these are not General Wood S
sentiments, his line of policy would
give the impression that they were,
and the result isseen in a public spirit,
"a unanimity of purpose, concentration
of effort for the welfare of the commun-
ity, that bespoaks hale and prosper
Gus future for the islands OF which in
the past, the most plenteOus harvests
have been rcapcd with krisses and
kampilans,"
The local paper published in Zam-
boanga had the following to say:
"As regards Governor Woods ac-
complishments, we point to the fact
that he found the Nero country in n
state OF anarchy, and known far and
wide as a good place to stay away from.
His first move was to bring order out
OF chaos, and 10 make it safe for traders
to go any place in the province. His
next move was to secure, through the
offer Of small bonus, the organization
OF a local steamship company as a
means OF gathering up the produce of

the matter Of equitable trade relations
would, long since, have been settled as
they were long since settled in the

been our demand, but rather one.
sided trade arrangement. This is due
to the fact that without q high tariff
wall, the complicated government
which We have built up here would be
hoplessly bankrupt in less than six
months. II such 4 government as the
primitive people here are reasonably
able TO support were established, tariff
revenues would be unnecessary, and on
a reciprocal basis no one doubts that
the American people would soon ad-
NIT our products to the home markets
free Of duty If we admitted home
products to the Philippine markets
free Of duty.
My next letter will deal with some OF
the opportunities which offer to young,
energetic American agriculturalists IN

with the return of the length
ened and pleasant and cool even
ings comes the query to all, how
shall we best improve them?
There are a thousand pleasant
ways of spending a fall or winter
evening within the reach OF those
who have command of their own
time; and prominent among those
is indulgence in literary pursuits.
How few, comparatively, of the
young people Of the present day,
appreciate as they should the in
estlmable privileges they enjoy.
Surrounded as are the young in
all cities and most towns, with all
the opportunities necessary for
the cultivation of literary taste,
not one in a thousand appears to
improve these golden chances.
Occasionally, it is true, we meet
with a young man or woman who
firmly grasps the idea that "knowl-
edge is power" but these, unfor-
tunately, are the exception, not
the rule.
Thousands of young men who
have comfortable homes-whose
parents are willing to supply them
with books and papers--instead of
availing themselves of these ad-
vantases, spend their long even
ings either in idle lounging around
corners, or in company with friv-
olous associates, male or female.
Thus, winter after winter passes
away, each one bringing them
nearer to the age of manhood, but
not fitting them for the proper dis
charge of the duties that a full
manhood requires. They enter
upon the busy stage of life with
none of those safeguards which a
cultivated intellect throws around
its possessor. They start out
laboring under a thousand disad-
vantagcs and confronted by in
Vulnerable Obstacles, which disap-
pear like shadows before a we'll
informed mind, The fact that
they do not contemplate adopting
a professional career does not in
any degree relieve them from the
charge Of being untrue to them
selves, their friends and
their country, while thus
frittering away the most
precious hours OF their lives in
idle Indifference, and too frequent
ly in the company of those asso-
ciates whom to be with is con-
tamination. How many OF them
will resolve in the fall of 1907 of
the twentieth century to "turn
over new leaf" and improve the
long evenings of the fall and win

TWO PATHS IN LIFE.

Just in front of everyyoung man
and young woman who reads this
department are two paths leading
into the future, and it is for them
to select which path they will
journey in. To aid them in Sc
lecting are their neighbors, some
Of whom in early life selected one
path and others the opposite.
The neighbor who made the wise
choice can be seen returning to
his home for the evening meal,
his face radiant with JOY as the
children meet him at the gate,
each one endeavoring to get the
first kiss. The other neighbor
goes home through the alley, his
step is unsteady, his face flushed
from dissipation, the children flee
to the mother as he approaches.
These two neighbors had an equal
start upon life's voyage; the diff
ference now SO plainly Visible is
caused by the paths they selected
to travel in at the beginning OF the
journey. A few years of training
