The sum OF $4,000 was added to a
previous appropriation for the pur
pose of erecting root and tool houses
and pig pens at the Asylum, at Wed
nesdays meeting Of the Freeholders,
The improvements In all will cost
$4,000 and they will be OF a permanent
nature, brick and concrete buildings.
In asking for the increase Mr.. Irving
paid glowing tribute to the mana
geYial ability of Superintendent Nc.
Council.
Mr. Reed, of Buena Vista, is made
happy-the contract for the Downs
town-Mays Landing Road was
awarded to G. w. Mathis Co. for
$34,S74 25; the unsuccessful bidder
was u. S. Bader, who estimated the
job $25.75 higher.
A stone bridge, the first to be built
by the county, reinforced with con
trete,will be placed in Hammonton
Bids are to be sought for the work.
L. Henry received the contract for
laying about 5000 square feet OF con-
crete sidewalks around the public
buildings at Mays Landing, at the
rate OF LAY cents per square foot.
The Bridge Committee failed to ap-
prove bills totalling about $50 pres
en- ed by Freeholder Flanagan, OF
Tpekahoe. for services and materials
ft- nlshed the bridge at that place.
Fifty dollars Of the total represented
the cost OF graveling. the approaches
to the bridge. The Board demurred
at paying for this work until Judge
Higbee informed the members that
the approach to a bridge comprises
the necessary rises to make the
structure accessible. Mr.. Irving and
pther members OF the Board stolidly
opposed payment OF Flanigan's bills
for two reasons: that the Board has
no legal right to reimburse when the
items have run for q period OF seven
years, as they did In this case; Mr.
Flanigen was not authorized to have
grayeling done, and Mr.. Reed believed
Weymouth Township liable for the
the cost. The pitiable plight OF the

will be held in the directors room of
the O. r. & n. headquarters in the
Worcester building.
While the coming hearing is to be
held mainly for the purpose of al
lowing the railway people TO present

point.
Tne commission has also made an
order adopting the accounts and rec
ords system Of the. Interstate Com

road arrangements in the state pre-.
scribed an accurate system of rec

Washington Gives Promise of the
Largest Wheat Yield on Record.

Barring hot winds, Washington will
produce this year 30,oo0,000 bushels
of wheat, according to 4. E. Sutton,
president of the Washington Grain

turned from his annual trip through

ON FOREST RESERVES.
Se,ntOr Fulton Speaks at Develop
mcnt League Meeting.

Sumpter, Ore, June 20.-A meet
ing OF the Sumpter Development
league was made particularly inter
esting owing to the presence of Sen
ator e. w. Fulton and Congressman
w. r. Ellis, who have just returned
from a tour of inspection of eastern
Oregon.
Senator Fulton prefaced his short
speech with an announcement as to
the reason of their visit in this part
of the state, which was to ascertain
beyond a possible doubt the senti-
merts of the people regarding the
forest reserves and other matters. He
said they had already visited Harvey
and Grant counties and were now
touring Baker county, and as far az
they had gone found a decided senti-
ment against the governments pol
lev of forest reserves. While he had
no criticisms as to the intent of the
governments policy he felt that
state of Oregon, as well as other
states, by Withholding from settle
ment lands that it was known did not
grow timber at all.
Senator Fulton said he considered
that the states interests were suffer-
ing through the manner in which the
reserve was being governed, and that
he had found a widespread dissatis-
faction among the people over this
fact. Actual settlers were being
forced away from homes that they oc-
cupied contiguous to the reserve by
the policy of allowing others, who re-
side in distant sections, to range the
reserve, to the detriment of the ac-
tual settler whereby his own privileges
were curtailed.
Congressman Ellis followed Sena-
tor Fulton and voiced the latter's
sentiments as being his own regard
ing forest reserve matters. A vote
of thanks was extended the senator
and congressman by the members OF
the league for their remarks and the
interest taken by them.

IDAHO SHEEP DISEASED.
College Veterinarian Investigates
Bands In Idaho.

Bdnus III luHt1O.
Logan. Utah, June 20.-Dr. H. j.
Frederick, the veterinarian of the Ag-
ricultural college, has just returned
from Soda Springs, Idaho. after spend
ing three weeks there investigating a
new and puzzling disease among
sheep. 1t is called "bighead," from
the fact that the afflicted animals
heads swell to twice their normal
size within half an hour after they
are seized with the disease, or rather.
within that time after it makes itself
apparent,
DR.. Frederick was sent out by the
government to investigate the disease,
He has spent a great deal Of time en-
deavoring to ascertain whether or not
the disease is contagious or infectious.
He was unable to transmit the disease
by the serum taken from the affected
animals or from their blooi. so he is
now making cultures of the germs and
will inoculate healthy sheep with these
cultures. He says It is out of the
question to talk Of applying curative
remedies, as less than an hour elapses
from the time the disease appears un-
til II is in its worst stages. but he is
devoting his energies to discovering
preventive. He says that about one
half of the animals afflicted die, so
that the matter of preventing the
spread of the malady is becoming one
of great Importance to the flockmas-
ters. DIR. Frederick hopes to be able
to devote several months of this sum-
mer to the investigation of the dis
ease.

Boise, June 20.-Judge Wood ad-
ministered a serious reverse to the de-
fense III the Haywood case today
when in ruling regarding the admis-
sibility Of articles in the Miners Mag
azine he held that because Haywood
is a defendant officer of the union he
is responsible for their publication,
because the articles offered in evil
dence indicate animosity toward
Steunenberg, Goddard, ct al. The
court held they are admiss' BILE. Dar-
row and Richardson hold the ruling
to be unjust. Wood ruled, however,
that all the matter offered is accept
able excepting those published after
the death of Steunenberg. A great
portion of the morning session was
spent by Borah in monotonously read
ing this documentary evidence.
AS a matter of fact, the extracts
read are hardly of more revolution
airy character than the ordinary utter
ances of trade journals. The editor
ials are naturally class matter and
not entirely without the advocacy of
radical incendiarism
Borah, after finishing, offered in
evidence a decision of the Colorado
supreme court overturning the eight
hour law in that state. The defense
objected. The court admitted it, de-
claring II showed the decision was
rendered in Colorado, and also got be-
fore the jury the decision in the
Meyer habeas corpus proceedings.

strong to the idea that a peiagogue
should take interest in community
matters and business affairs as well as
in the routine work OF the school. BY
doing so he declares a teacher gains
the confidence and good will Of the

successful teacher than one who

King County Commissioners Take
Steps TO Organize an Assessment
District From Which TO Raise the
Funds TO Pay for Ship Canal Into
Lakes Union and Washington From
the Sound

Seattle WASH, June 20.-The King
county board of commissioners has
granted the petition of the Lake
Washington canal enthusiasts to form
a sl,075,000 assessment district to
construct the waterway between Pu-
get sound and Lakes Union and Wash
ington to furnish a fresh water har-
Dor for ocean craft. A petition will
imm, lately be filed in the federal
court for the apportionment of a
board Of assessors TO levy an assess
ment upon benefited property.
This board will number IL persons
and tentative assessment district ex-
tending from the Snohomish county
line to a point three miles south Of
Kent has been approved. This would
include the entire city of Seattle and
Tacoma in the area adjudged to be
benefited by the canal. The valley
benefit consists largely in a removal
of danger from damage by floods,
with the Improvement in real estate
values from the opening OF the canal
as q secondary consideration.
BY the action of the county COM
missioners approval is given to the
plan Of raising s1,000,0O0 by special
assessment up to 10 mills for the con-
struction of canal. The extra s75.-
600 is needed for office work and
the expenses of the commission.
The canal will be n temporary af-
fair the single lock in Shilshole bav
being the only piece of concrete work.
I; is believed by the property owners
in the Lakes Union and Washington
district that the opening OF water
way between the sound and the lakes
will be followed by government con-
troll and Improvement.
