THE LOCAL POST OFFICE
IN OFFICIALLY OKANOGAN

Commencing with the first OF July
the local post Office will be officially
"Okanogan.'' This is the result OF
tbe combination of the former towns
of Alma, North Alma and Pogue.
Being all the same town. practically,
the different names were confusing
and a mass meeting of citizens held
SON. four months ago voted to
change the name to Okanogan but
the request arrived at Washington too
late to have the change noted in the
April postal guide, consequently 1t
had to lay over until July 1.
The name of the post Office at the
St. Mary Indian mission also changes
at the beginning of the present quar-
ter. 1t has heretofore been Omak
but will in the future be Mission.
This change was made at the request
OF the promoters of the new town OF
Omak between Okanogan and River
side in order that they might assume
the name of Omak for their town.
The new Omak, however, will not be
able to ofncially claim the name this
quarter as the change 10 mot noted
in the current postal guide.-Okan-
ogan Independent.

START THE GOOD
ROAES MOVEMENT
Board of County Commissioners Is
Asked to Bond the County &.
For That Purpose.

NORTH YAKIMA, July S.--Inter-
est in the good roads movement, to
be started tomorrow, when an appli-
cation for the bonding of Yakima
county will be made to the board Of
county commissioners, is being
aroused in many of the small towns.
Assurances of support have been re-
ceived from many people in the
county by Henry j. Snively, the To-
cal attorney who will present the Pc
'tition to the commissioners.
Although no organization of the
forces favoring good roads has been
effected as yet, it is likely that the
advocates of the plan will join in
some improvement society to further
thar interests. At present the COM
mercial club of North Yakima is
fathering the scheme
''Since the publication of our in
tentiOn to ask the commissioners to
bond the county in thei interests of
good roads," said Mr.. Snively. Il.
personally, and members of the COM
mercial club, have received numer-
Gus inquiries and pledges OF support.
Sunnyside people seem to be espec-
tally interested, delegation from
that city being promised. Nor is
Sunnyside likely to be the only city
to contribute enthusiasts. Prominent
business men and citizens of North
Yakima will be present when the
matter is presented to the board Of
county commissioners"
Two plans for raising the money
needed have been advanced, one be-
ing to have the commissioners vote
to bond the county to it's limit OF
themselves and the other is to call
for a bonding of 100000 and hold
an election for the purpose.

WORK ON THE CANAL.

II HE question Of procuring cement in the
4 United States for use on the Panama canal
has been under investigation by Major William
NJ Sebert U. S. A., who is in charge Of the Lock
and Dam Construction Department. for some
time, and, according to recent report, it seems
now that it will be practicable to procure cement
in clinker form transport it to the isthmus crush
it and grind it there and thus avoid the cooper
age cost which is at least one-third of the cement
cost proper.
Major Siebert is now in this country on leave
of absence. He declares that perfectly satsfac-
tory foundations have been found for the great
Gatun locks and DAMS at reasonable depth,
despite the rumors that borings have been made
to the depth of53o feet on the proposed site
without striking anything but soft rock Major
Sebert, in denying these rumors, said that the
whole site of the works contemplated has been
most carefully tested by borings, and that the
result shows that in this, the most important
point in the canal construction, thoroughly
stable foundation for the gigantic lock and dam
structures exists. For the smaller locks at. La
Boca and Pedro Miguel, the foundation will have
to be blasted out Of the hardest kind Of igneous
rock
Work is progressing rapidly on the excavations
for the Gatun locks The highest steam shovel
average ever made on the isthmus was made by
the four machines that are operating there on
September Fl, when they removed 5,25I cubic
yards, average of 1905 cubic yards per
shovel
In the meantime the work OF preparing the
plans for the immense lock gates which are to he
eighty feet high, and in every othcr proportion
the biggest in the world, is being done in the
under direction of Mr. Coldmark They are TO
be constructed of steel and will be built on much
the same plan as the sides Of a batteship They
will be moved by hydraulic power.

OPERATORS STRIKE.

IT. HE strike OF the telegraph operators has
Il ended in a row among the men. as those
who have watched the developments in connec-
ton with the conflict fully expected. The strike
was badly managed from the start, and it is lit
tie wonder that the operators who were called
out by President Small are now vehement in their
denunciation of him. The strike broke out with
out any direction The fever was "in the air.
and the confusion followed. The national. body
of the strikers was without sufficient funds for
such conflict with the companies, a clash that
it was evident from the start would develop into
a long and bitter struggle for supremacy The
leaders also began the strike. or permitted it 70
start. even before they had secured active hnan-
cial backing from the American Federation Of
Labor, which body would undoubtedly have
come to their aid more substantially than it did
had the plans been carefully matured Then

such as advocating the calling out of men on
leased wires men who had no grievance. but were
under contract alienated large part Of the oper-
aors and added to the dissatisfaction in the ranks
Of the men themselves
AS consequence the operators have practically
lost their fight
They had just grievances against the companies
which impose restrictions upon the men entirely
unnecessary. The work OF telegraph operator
Is difficult and trying The men receive small
pay considering their duties. and the companies

The strike will result. however in an increased
agitation for government regulation OF the tele-

Nearly a whole year passed without
any tidings. Richardson sending none
and Barnes requesting none. One day
last fall Barnes received a personal
letter from Dr. Richardson inclosing
him $1,000 shares Of the mining COM
pany, and informing him that pay dirt
had been struck, and his $500 would
return him $4,000 with splendid
dividends. The letter stated that the
company would sell limited amount
Of treasury stock at 25 cents per share
to be used for development purposes.
This letter came just when the min
ing craze was at its height in the
country and the people of Lewes-
some of whom had the money and
some Of whom had it to borrow-liter-
ally fell over themselves in purchss-

MORE GOOD ROADS
FOR THE COUNTY.
Levy Court Well Pleased With
New Castle and Red
Lion Highways

The roads of New Castle county bid
fair to be among the best in the coun-
try in a short time. thanks TO the last
Legislature. which authorized the bor-
rowing Of 100000 by the New Castle
County Levy Court for good road pur-
poses. Already nearly half the amount
of the bond issue has been spent in the
work intended and appropriated for
additional road building and that the
county will profit by the expenditure
IS the opinion of every one who uses
the new highways already built within
ten miles OF Wilmington.
Yesterday afternoon the Levy Court
went down to lower New Castle and
Red Lion hundreds TO inspect the
roads just finished there by Steward
and Donahoe and found the highways
to be the most substantial ones yet
built under the new road act. IN
New Castle hundred the new road eN-
tends from Tybouts cross-road TO Red
Lion creek. a distance of l.sS miles,
thence to Delaware City town limits,
a distance of 3.25 miles. The roa- ia
Of macadam, is feet wide the entire
distance and has a rock foundation
that Is likely to last for Atty years.
The drainage system along the high
way is perfect, thus insuring the road
against future damage by water. AZ

contractors have already installed

thus completing the chain of macadam
road from Wilmington to Delaware
City by way of State Road, a distance
Of sixteen miles.
The Levy Court is favoring other
sections of the county with new roads.
Already one highway has been built
in Brandywine hundred, one in PEN
cader, and only yesterday the court
awarded a contract TO rebuild the
Townsend road. Had not the bids been
too high the court would also have
awarded the contract for building a
road between Wilmington and New
Castle, a highway that has been badly
in need OF repair for years. The time
is not far distant, however. when all
the most frequently travelled roads in
the county win be among the best in
the country.
Steward and Donahoe the Whining

the new county highways and every
