GOOD ROADS FOR GOOD MONEY.

Here is the argument Of the King

sociation b. presenting to the farmers
who oppose its policy.
Good roads cost more money than
poor roads. Poor roads cost more
than no roads at all, but no roads
yield no revenue ON IA pinvcstmcnt,
while the better the highways the
more they pay O that hard-worbing
portion Of the community who use
roads for their every day business.

wealth. means of transportation be-
tween producer and consumer snU
tribute to the wollbeing of both
classes.
No roads at an are so expensive
that no people or no creature has
ever managed 20 get along without
them. The Siwash of the Northwest
went from place TO place over the
great watcrwaya uf this region. The
savage of the interior had his rude
trails. The bear, deer and elk of the
woods had their paths from feeding
ground to feeding ground. without
these they would have persisted.
with man, as he progressed IN CIV

The Shirt-Waist Suit.

"There were rumors afloat early
in the season that the shirt-waist
suit would not be in its usual high
favor with this years summer
girl, )" writes Grace Margaret Gould
in Womans Home Companion for
July. Everyone was proclaiming
the universal vogue of the jumper
dress.
Nov, however, the tide is turn
ing, and the shirt waist suit is
again asserting itself. And there
is no doubt that ii is smarter than
ever. ''Of coruse the shirt-waist
suit has had to look to its laurels,
and perhaps that's why the new de-
signs are so original and extremely
attractive. All sorts of materials
are used, from the new wolfe and
wortsed suiting pattern TO an mex
pensive striped Bingham. Brown
linen is also in high favor for a
shirt-waist suit. Other materials
which are in vogue are figured
madras, pique, mercerized rep, cot
ton poplin, pcngee and striped and
checked silks.

CALDWELL GOES TO SECOND
PLACE.

Last Sunday the Champions took
water for a second time this season
at the hands of the Boise aggrega-
ton and for the first time this sea-
son gets shut out This last de-
feat not only huubles the pride of
the one time Champions but also
reduces her one notch in the per-
centage column, with very little
hope of recovering this season.
The game was attended by 1900
fans who witnessed one of the most
spectacular games this year, accord
ing to the Statesman. The game
was close and exciting and no one
claimed clear title until the last
Champion went down With the
score of 3 to 0 in favor of Boise.
The Senators secured seven hits
off Steltz and Campbell allowed but
four. Campbell struck out five and
Steltz six. Umpire, Cody. At
tendance 1900; the largest of the
season.
