MONEY FOR PERMANENT HIGHWAYS

Total Amount Available in the State is
s1so,e4t-Figures for Windham County
Towns.
c. w. Gates, state highway commits
sioner, has prepared a table showing the
amounts available for the several towns
of the state for the use in permanent
highway work The legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for highway improvements
in addition to the 5 per cent. tax. When
any town voted an additional sum for
permanent roads. not exceeding 800 in
any year, the state was to pay the town
an equal sum. The amount derived from
the regular 8 per cent. tax distributed on
the basis of mileage is $9S, 1868. The
amount to be derived under the new law
in accordance with the votes of the
towns, is $780, 05. making a total of $780,
6il.39 for permanent highways. only Sc
towns failed to take advantage in some
measure of the state aid. provided by the
act of 1906 Eight of these towns are in
Windham county. The figures showing
the money available in towns of this
county are as follows:

With the election of Henry A. Richardson of
Dover United States senator from Delaware,
Addcks and Addicksism have been eliminated and
the disgusting and degrading practices OF the gas
man. which deprived that commonwealth for many
years Of its constitutional representation in the
highest legislative body in the land have come to
an end
The Addicks machine has been smashed be-
yond the possibility of repair, and its henchmen
and fuglers have gone down in the wreck. And
not the least gratifying feature OF this long desired
but equally long delayed, consummation is the
utter and complete annihilation OF Senator Alice.
Probably who ever filled seat in the
senate or figured in the political activities of
any state in the union caused greater disquiet and
disgust among reputable citizens than did this
same Alice. Utterly without ability, capacity or
standing in the community without single quail
hcation that would induce sensible to select
him as representative of state he broke into the
senate by trampling on the PROSTATE Addicks who
dragged him from the obscurity to which he has
now been relegated for the remainder of his life,
and gave him whatever power and pull he possessed
Just as long as Addicks' cash held out, just
long that cash gave the gas man influence Alice
was his henchman and servle tool. When Addcks
had squandered his wealth and had lost the power
it gave him Alice was the first to desert him, the
first to kick him when he down
While some good citizens viewed Alees be-
trayal of the man who made him as public bere
fit because his treachery hastened the destruction
of the machine it is by no means an evidence of
healthy political morality to condone such Iscariot
ngratitude and to reward the traitor with high
public office.
With Addicks gone and Alice down and out
there is the beginning of brighter, purer and more
decent political era for the little commonwealth of
Delaware. She rs now for the first time i'll more
than decade and a half represented in the United
States senate by two able and upright men-Henry
A. Du Pont and Harry A. Richardson
That they will not be of the commanding
stature of Bayard Gray in the councils of the
nation must be conceded; but they are both clean,
capable and patriotic who will give Delaware
the best service of which they capable and can
be relied upon with confidence to quickly blot out
the unpleasant memory of Allee's sinister mis-
representation.

favorable. From the terminus in Ireland the dis
tance to London could be covered in about ten
hours
There is, therefore, no doubt that the line could
be made OF marked advantage TO passengers from
Canada, particularly during the winter season
when communication with Montreal and Quebec
is cut off by ice.
1t is certain, however, that whatever may be
the reduction in the time required to make the
passage the new line if it is established, will not
attract American travellers or traffic 1t requires
at least thirty hours to reach Halifax from Boston
and thirty-fve or thirty-six hours from New York,
and this of itself would preclude patronage by
Americans, even if the later inconvenience Of
changing from steamer to train at Blacksod bay,
from train to steamer at Dublin and from steamer
to train again at Holyhead, were not taken into
consideration at all.
Furthermore there now nearly completed
and ready for commission, on the routes from
New York steamers of enormous power and
hitherto unparalleled speed, and these will
attract those who find it necessary to make
the trans Atlantic trip in the shortest time pos
sible Until these greyhounds of the ocean are put
into service the more lesurely ships will continue
to make their seven, eight nne-day trips and
will have their passenger lists full to the limit.
There is another point in this connection that
is not generally known and that is that the number
of passengers who prefer to the ocean at slow
rather than at fast speed is steadily increasing.

A NEW STEAMSHIP ENTERPRISE.

The Canadian government is said to be favor
ably disposed toward the plan to establish a line Of
fast steamers between Halifax, ~ s., and Black
sod bay Ireland. These steamers it is believed,
will make the trip the Atlantic in three and
half days, and the enterprise is to be encouraged
by big subsidy.
There is no doubt that for the transportation
OF British and Canadian mails the proposed route
would be an admirable one Halifax, in addition

lantic coast, is iceree port and has direct
nection by rail with all the LARGE cities in Canada,

A MONUMENT
FOR SACAJAWEA
WYOMING MAY MARK
INDIAN GUIDES GRAVE
Women Ask Legislature for $500 for
a Monument to Mark the Resting
Place of the Bird Woman on the
Shoshone Reservation-Record Of
Her Burial Place is Certain.

An effort is being made by the
women of Wyoming to secure an ap-
preparation of $500 with which to
erect a monument over the grave of
Sacajawea, the Indian guide woman
of the Lewis and Clark exploring par
ty.
Grace R. Hebard, state librarian of
Wyoming, in writing OF the subject
to the Cheyenne Tribune, says:
1t has been the good fortune Of the
people of Wyoming to at last locate
Sacajawea's home and her last rest
ing place. Her son, who was carried
by her on the trip was named Bap-
tiste, or Little Toussaint," and her
other son was called BAIL.
Rev. John Roberts, the Episcopal
| minister at the Shoshone agency, on
April 9, 1884, made this entry in ais
parish record: Buried, Bazil's
mother, Shoshone. 100 years; cause
of death, old age"
James I. Patten. now of Basin
Wyo., saw this woman known as Ba-
zil's mother in 1871. He states that
she was then known as Sacajawea;
that he conversed with both her sons
at this time. who said she was the
identical woman who accompanied
the "Great Washington" across the
continent to the land Of water: thai
she was known also as the Los
Woman"
| Rev. Roberts has also talked will
these sons and they have made tn,
same statement to him. Baptiste ans
BAIL are both dead but their chill
dren and grand children and grea
grand children now live on the reser
walton and seem to feel that It Is jus
cause for pride, akin to aristocracy
to be descendants of this famed
woman.
Why not? She was Of noble bloot
and the Descendants of Sacajawet
may not be an impossible ancestra
society! There are a number of pio
neers who have seen this Indiai
woman and she was always pointed
out to them as Sacajawea who wen
with Lewis and Clark on their mem
orable trip.
Others have been glad to honor tn,
memory of this historic Indiai
woman. Lewis and Clark gave he
husband $500 for the services he hat
rendered them, would It be out o
reason to ask the present legislator,
of Wyoming to donate an equa
