Opens New Markets.

The Salt Lake Route is opening a
great number of new markets. 1t ira
verses one of the richest parts of the
country and has ample opportunity
for development. 1t has increased
the dry farming of Juab county
to a remarkable extent and has
caused a great demand for Utah live
stock in southern California. Here
tofore all this class of business has be-
longed to Arizona, but the Salt Lake
Route has made it possible for Utah
to cut in and control part of the trade
at least. And Salt Lake City is able
to get products form Los Angeles
and other points in California for a
grear deal less than it paid a year ago.
The improvements of the road have
for the most part been on the road

Route a very neat little reward.
The Salt Lake Route has this year
been very successful in the manipula-
ton of its trains. 1t has not ieen
cramped at any time by a car shortage
and has had plenty Of locomotives to
pull the trains. Considerable incon-
venience was suffered this spring by
the washing out of tracks in the
Meadow valley. This o%ccasioncd the
expenditure of thousands of dollars.
The tracks have been rebuilt and all
the beds constructed of cement. This
eliminates the danger of the tracks
being washed out. What bridges
there are are built Of the best of steel
and concrete.

The Western Pacific, the last line
OF the great Gould system connecting
Boston on the Atlantic with San

LIQUID OF IMMENsE VALUE.

A Hungarian chemist named Brunn claims to have discovered a liquid chemical compound which doubles the density of nearly every kind of stone and renders it water proof, and imparts to all metals qualities which defy oxygen and rust. While travelling in Greece some 25 years ago he noticed that the mortar in stones of ruins which were known to be over 2,000 years old was as hard, fresh, and tenacious as if it had been made only year. He secured a piece of the mortar, and has been working on it ever since until now.

GOVERNOR LITTLE'S ILLNESS.

The people of Arkansas learn with intense regret that Governor Little is in such a state of health that it was necessary for him to turn the duties of his office over to Hon. John l. Moore, president of the senate, and go to southern Texas in the hope of improving his physical condition.
 Fears are entertained that his illness is of much more serious character than the governor or his physicians are willing to admit. To have been thus stricken on the eve of such an suspicious admins tration is indeed distressing.
 The hopes of Arkansas are that Governor Little will be speedily re- stored and will be spared to many years of usefulness to the state.

repair as they are today, for they become practically impossible after spell of bad weather, anyway. With four or five thousand dollars properly and economically admin mustered, three or four miles of good macadam road of a width of ten or twelve feet can be built. Ii the farmers and those immediately benefited should adopt the sugges- tion of MT. Leinhart and furnish wagons and haul the necessary stone, twice this amount can be built at the same cost. The natur- al increase of the county's wealth (and this would be hastened by every mile of permanent road) would provide more revenue each year, until in ten years the availa- ble amount would probably be doubled. We will not venture to predict how long it would take to complete the work, but we believe that if this method is faithfully pur- sued, many who read this will live to see every mile of main road in the county covered with stone; to see roads on which one horse could pull cord of wood or four bales of cotton to town from any part of the county, at any time of the year.

THE ROAD AGITATION.

Never, perhaps, in the history of the county has such wide inter- est been displayed in the subject of roads-good and bad. Not even when the question of voting a three-mill tax for road purposes was at its height was the matter so generally discussed as at present.
 This is good sign. Out of all this agitation some good is sure to come. Faulkner county has just as good brains as any in the state and when these brains go earnest ly to work upon any subject, some valuable conclusions are certain to be reached. Thought upon the subject, however, should not be permitted to continue only so long as the roads are bad and stop when the highways again become pass able. The problem will not be solved in a day or year.
 The Log Cabin Democrat wants to present its views upon the con- struction of macadam roads, mat ter which was introduced in the columns last week by MT. Joseph Leinhart. The difference between the annual repairing of dirt roads and the building of permanent roads is the difference between ex- penditure and investment. A macadam road, once properly built, is for all time, and the re- pairs 1t needs are but trifle. A dirt road maybe graded in the best possible manner, but practically the same amount of work will have to be done on it year later.
 In this county we spend about $Sooo annually in turning up the dirt on our roads. This is an ex- penditure, pure and simple, and no permanent benefit is gained thereby, for the work must be re- peated every year. Eight thous- and dollars is six per cent of SI33,- 333.33, which amount may be giv- en as the capitalized cost of the public roads of Faulkner county. This does not include the city oi Conway, which spends S2ooo an- nually in the same manner, not a cent of which is drawn from the county road fund. This sum, also capitalized at six per cent, amounts to $33,333.33. Thus 1t would seem that the county is in exactly the same position as if 1t had bor- rowed S166, ,666.66 and was using the annual interest on this amount to repair the roads.
 Now, let us suppose that one half of our road tax was used each year in the construction of perma- nent macadam roads. Enough would be left to keep our old dirt roads in almost as good state oi

 ADVERTISING MEDIUM T>HE LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT has always
 conducted it's business with it's advertisers upon the theory that they were entitled to know exactly what they are getting for their money.
 When you buy advertising space, you are buying circulation. It is circulation alone that makes advertising valuable. paper circulate ing one thousand copies in given territory is worth exactly one=half much as an adver= Using medium as a paper circulating two thousand copies in the territory If the paper doesn't reach the buyers to whom the advertiser wants to talk it is waste of money to buy space in it.
 Now, we have always printed our exact total circulation in conspicuous position in this paper every week. This circulation statement means the number necessarily printed each week to supply regular subscribers and a few for sample copies, files, etc. Thus, for the past month more our average circulation has been 28OO copies every week. On account, however, of putting our out=of=the= county subscription list upon Cash=in=adVance basis, our list has suffered small loss, and the number printed for this issue is only 265o copies.
 This, however, is circulation of which we are exceedingly proud. No other country paper in the state publishes claim of so large cir Cuation. Counting five readers to the copy it means that each issue of The Log Cabin Demo- crat is read by Thirteen Thousand people.

HEALTHFUL. HONEST AND RIGHT.

A certain sanetimomOus undertaking
magazine has worked itself into a
frenzy over so-eaIled child-labor and
emotional individuals and peanut poll
ticians throughout the country also are
in Estate o mind. " In frantic Ian
guage we are told that nearly 700, 900
children are working in the United
States in occupation other than agri-
culture" Well, what of it? Is it not
better that they work than loaf?
What would o,r sentimental reformers
have them do? OF course these child
rem should be in school during the
school period, but after that what?
And what of those boys and girls who
simply will not study? Are they to idle?
We have some $4,000, OCJ population.
Of this stupendous aggregate the pro-
portion of 10000 working children
does not strike thinking, reasoning
persons as alarmingly great. As a
matter of fact there is an excess of
fuss and feathers in this crusade.
Work does net harm children, and
theorists should not overlook this
fundamental fact.

September as now. But little cam.
paignlng could then be done until the
fall months. There would be small
pre-primary campaign. but provision
is made against too much activity here
by prohibiting the circulation of nom
ination papers until sixty days before

The reforming Of election laws Is
always a tough proposition before the
legislature, and this year furnishes no
exception. Innumeyabie bills have
been introduced to amend both the pri-
mary and the general election laws.
The Dunn pocket ballot measure was
the most conspicuous. 1t was finally
killed in the assembly. This body also
killed the Nye bill last week providing
Tor determining by lot the places OF
candidates upon tickets.
Rotary Change of Names.
A substitute amendment was pro-
posed in the form of the Minnesota
law providing for rotary change of
names, but this also the assembly
voted down The committee on cleo
tons is inclined to think the assem-
bly, acted rather unwisely in this,
and It is said may again recommend
this plan. 1t is admitted that the
present method of alphabetical ar
rangement of the names of parties and
candidates gives an unfair advantage
to those lucky enough to head the list,
some holding tnat the first name often
gets lead of 80. per cent. over its
competitors.
In addition to these bills Chairman
Roycraft of the assembly committee
had bin to do away with the circle
at the top of the party column and
requiring that each candidate be voted
for separately. This provision was not
made to apply to presidential electors,
who We're grouped at the bottom of
the ticket and could be voted for by
the simple making of the usual party
cross.
Apparently the assembly is not in
favor of the wiping out of party lines,
however; for after a most exhaustive
and sharp debate 1t directed the com
mittee on elections to prepare a bill
retaining the party circle at the top
of each political column such as pre-
walls In the Australian ballot, now in
use in this state.
