PRINTED BOOKS.

The fate that attends most printed books is something little thought of by the public at large. The AtE- enaeum notes the declaration of Prof Herzberg of Berlin and the li- brarian of the Berlin university that our volumes as printed at present will be obliteratsd within two ceh- turies. With regard to newspapers, the process will be far more rapid. It is alleged that the principal cause of this is the employment Of paper made from wood pulp. To remedy this. it is proposed by the German authorities that a certain number of each edition of a printed book should be printed on paper of a superior character for libraries and record offices.

RANGER BROOKS ALIVE
Wires Review That Reports 0f His
 Demise Had No Foundation at All

Ex-Ranger John J. Brooks, who was reported to hrve been killed by band of Mexican outlaws in Chihuahua several weeks ago, is alive and we'll, and still in the em- ploy of the Greene Gold Silver company at Madera, Chihauhan.
 Yesterday the Review was in receipt of the following telegram from ex-Ranger Brooks, dated at Madeira.
 Editor Review:-Please deny the reporf to the effect that l was killed by Mexicans. l have not been in mix-up since left the Arizona rangers.
 (Signed) JOHN ]. BROOKS"
 The report of the killing of Brooks was brought to Naco, in this county, by cousin of the ex- ranger, who was en route from Chihuahua to Cananea. The story was told to Capt. Wheeler, of the rangers, and other parties. What object the cousin had in circulat- ing a report to the effect that Brooks was dead can not be sur missed, but that he put such a story in circulation and that 1t was told to more than one person, IS beyond question.

The town council could do

The town council could do a good thing for the town if they would require the streets and alleys in the business section to be cleaned at least once each week. As a suggestion the cleaning could be done on Friday by the owner or occupant of the building, all the places to be cleaned within cer- tain hours, so that the hauling which should be done by the city under the supervision of the Su- pervisor of streets, could be done at once. In this way our streets
 could be kept clean of'the rubbish

COUNTY ROADS
Road 0verseeT kinsey Tells of Work on Roads thls Year. The Oak
 Creek Road In Good Condition

ter a silence of several years on road matters that an outline of our work to date would be of interest to some of your readers, and tol- erated by many, 1 will proceed. For reasons best known to the powers that have been but now are not, we were shelved for four years" 7" Thanks to the apprecia- tion and friendship of our present chairman, MT. Gregg, and the good words of many old and val ued friends. We were offered a portion of Coconino's road work which we gladly accepted, and are giving our best efforts to bring about a bettered and much needed condition.
 In March we worked several days assisting the A. l.. X T. Co. 
 to gravel a portion of the Flagstaff and Milton road.
 April and we went to Lake Mary, Clarks valley and took out rocks for three miles of new road above high water mark, also to Mormon Lake where we had to build sev- eral pieces owing to high water. This work cost about S4oo. .oc.
 On the 18th of April we started on the Verde and Oak creek (Schnebly) roads with thirteen heavy handed sons of toll, powder, blow, tools and grub, four horses and two wagons. To briefly d es- cribe the awful condition of the SC roads one would have to quote the lamented General Sherman on war" which is hardly admissible in your columns. We picked, barred, blasted and "shoohyed rough places until we have got a better road than has been of late The tug of war was on the Schnebly grade where, owing to inefficient water-brakes were many rocky and washed-out places. Our heaviest work was at The Devils Elbow" a result of our friend John Loys maiden efforts at grade building. Here we built a I4 foot wall, made twelve foot fill cut down hillside from four to ten feet, using I5o pounds of giant, 200 pounds black powder, blowing and scraping with two teams five days, barring, blasting, picking and shoveling with dozen men, we succeeded in making a safe and much easier turn than before. This piece of work cost less than SI3o. co. Next was "Thompson's Camp" near top grade, here we bettered conditions with small outlay of work and money.
 On reaching the sand stone for nation was found many jump-offs and stairways which we bettered by carefully laying in flat stones and covering with dirt which was plowed from banks or nearby flats and hauled in with scrapers, other iump-offs were fixed with brush and dirt. On the II miles of this cutoff were done I57 days work costing s3oI,25. Powder, tools, fuse etc., made total cost S452. co.
 In addition to described work we built one hundred and seventy-five heavy water brakes giving them as easy an approach as the heavy grade would allow, with outlets from two to five feet and can safely say they will last and save the grade for years with very little repairing.
 In conclusion we wish to pub licly thank Mir. Schnebly for dona- tions of team for five days, fresh vegetables, strawberries, excellent meals. kindly words and letters of
