COOP ROADS MOVEMENT.

One Of the most important move.
ments that has been inaugurated Of
recent years, and which has resulted
In wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 100000 farmers. II during i
year each Of those farmers can be
saved $40 in time. or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons BY means Of
improved roads. il means a saving Of
s60,e00,o00 annually: but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
through agitation OF the good roads
movement saves each farmer il the
land from $50 to 500. Thus It can Be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars each year
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has Be
come % recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens viii be found to be staunch
adyocates Of road improvement. and
there Is z civic ptideand friendly com
petition n the matter Of having eood
roads leading to the towns. The work
oE road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number Of state legislatures
have taken up the work and during
the next dozen years great changes
VIII be wrought as to the building and
mainsenance Of public highways.

residence and Improvement consti-
tuting the only requisite.
Snyder Not a Settler.

In Snyder's case, 1t is contended
that he cannot be regarded as an ac-
tual settler or any other kind OF a set
tier, for the reason that he has made
application for a timber tract, unf!
for cultivation, and for the poses
sion OF which no other object would
be consistent than that of getting
title to the timber.
The railroad takes the position
that 1t owns the land and that Sny-
der cannot set up a claim of right
because no agreement OF any kind
was entered into with him, and he
has no interest whatever upon which
to base a claim of right. II anyone
can assert a right to sue IL is the
United States government, which
granted he land. and that a disa-
greement as to the execution OF Its
terms could arise between no other
parties than the srantor and the
oA"ANSNs "hANhs III thio N"SSt N'N ~
ernment and the railroad company.
The term actual settler" as it af-
fects the Oregon & California grant
is held to be repealed, and the de-
cision OF the supreme court OF Me-
braska in the Union Pacific land
grant case is cited to show that the
repeal of the pre-emption law carried
with 1t a repeal of the actual settler
clause of the railroad land grants.
The company raises another fine
point of law when it contends that
the grant contains no forfeiture
clause. by which its title to the land
could be Cancelled for failure to COM
ply with its terms, and that there Is
no provision which defines its obli-
cation to sell the land within any
definite time or in any amount ex-
cepting that 1t is forbidden to coD-
vey more than quarter section to
any one person. The element of time
is held by the company to be "re-
asonable time" which, II contends,
has long since passed, because the
company has been allowed for 81
years to hold the land in open and
notorious possession, and to pay
taxes upon 1t for the past 20 years
under a title guaranteed by pat
ent.

Great Fruit Pyramid.
Chas. A. Park and his assistants

pavilion--a solid walled pyramid OF
fruit. Many photographs have been
taken, and that picture will be the

The Stock Parade.
Friday will see the greatest stock
parade, especially of fine horses, that
has ever been shown In the West.
The circle will be over a mile long
and there will be half a million dol

the parade, and quarter OF million
dollars worth of fine cattle, sheep
and long-bearded, wise-looking billy
goats. This parade will be on the
special stock ring track for tha'
purpose, and is a sight all should be
ready to witness. The ladies VIII

The state game warden can find

violateTs OF the law prohibiting the
killing of elk If he will send a dep
uty down TO Elk City. Many persons
there are indignant at two Portland
men who went into the Drift creek
woods and killed three elk a few
weeks ago. They are known To
have killed at least three of the anil
mails, and. what IL the worst fea-
ture of the proceedings, is that II
was the teeth and horns that they
seemed TO want. They hired a man

region frequented by elk, and TO
haul them back again, with whas
they took from the carcases. The
story OF woman, who helped cut up
some of the meat, and who Is said
to know whereof she speaks when
she tells what kind of meat II was. Is
among the available evidence. There
Is a general desire to save the elk
from determination, and there Is a
great deal OF condemnatory talk by
those among whom the details are
known about this notable Instance OF
wanton slaughter by the two Port

this was bursted by prosecution, the
chronicler relates:
The spacious workshops Of VI. Made

Replies to DR.. Kittredge.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The writer is not worrying very much
about what DR.. Kittridge thinks about
his statements He is not unmindful of
the fact that many medical men have
done great good in the world, have saved
many lives, and brought renewed health
to very many sufferers, but he still sticks
to his former statements that it IS fool
ish 10 use remedies" to cure" disease,
which produce disease In well persons.
The profession of helping suffering hu-
manity back to health is the noblest call
ing. and the writer has the greatest re-
who are wise enough to assist nature by
natural methods. They are the men who
do not have to resort to legislation, to
bolster up a weak-legged science" which
is a relic Of those barbaric days when
poisons We're first use to drive out the
devil Of disease. Their noble work
stands firmly on its own merits. There
is TO merit in poison or pus for the Ills
of humanity. I know Of several ply
sicians. who, after practicing with drugs
for over forty years, have given that
unsatisfactory method up, and are build
ing up human bodies by the science OF
applied food chemistry.
DR.. Eli P Miller, one Of the Oldest and
best physicians in New York City, who
has praCticed medicine for nearly half a
century, says: Drugs are pOisons; they
possess absolutely no power to heal, but
an untold and incalculable power for
harm" DR.. Miller wrote this to Mr..
Christian. the food expert Of New York
City: Those who are treating the sick
by diet electricity, vibration, hydrother-
apy. &c, are curing more people in pro-
portion to the number they treat than
the drug doctors" This same wise doc
tor, for whom have the greatest respect.
says; "All drugs are more or less pois-
Onous. and many Of them deadly pOisons.
Ny experience has convinced me that
more people die from the effects of the
drugs given them than from natural
causes, or than would die without any
drug treatment at all If they had proper
advice about food and hygiene" The
drugging treatment has. hurried thou
sands TO the grave. has produced thou
sands Of hopeless invalids, has crippled
thousands more, has produced the worst
diseases known to science IN the innocent,
has caused multitudes to go insane!

eased horse serum injected into their sys-
TENS, but 1 think, not one who has seen

much success. The "fresh-air cure" was

fool because he doesn't believe In giving
the sick deadly poisOns, which will pro-
duce disease in the we'll he may enter,
