Trees Along yyays,

In an interesting address before a
meeting of the grange at Greece, y. Y,
County Engineer ]. Y. McClintock
spoke on the many advantages of coun-
try life and the Importance of having
good roads. He advocated building
wide roads SO that all vehicles could
safely pass. On the desrability Of
having trees along the road he had
the following to say:
We know that hedges, small trees
and bushes are not suitable along our
roads because Of drifting SHOWS, but
there are great trees which will grow
up high and be source of enjoyment
and attractiveness. l know that some
will object to trees because they will
to some extent reduce the productive
ness of strip Of land within their
range, but as far as | can learn
good row of trees along a road will
make the farm more salable. Many Of
your farms will be bought by people
from the city, and to them surely the
trees will be ~ advantage There

Any kind OF road work may be done

Grass and weeds should be moved

In place that the bitches may drain

Roads can be advanta geously worked
In the fall, particularly those through
low places, as they are usually dry at
that time. Everything is in favor OF
fall road work If it is done right.
Horses and men work more easily and
the road machinery is used to better
advantage. Besides the work is done
at time when 1t does the most good,
for the roads are thus prepared for he

court today permitted the Baltimore

edness of $15,000.000 and discharge
of the receivership of the Chicago
Terminal Transfer railroad.
It is alleged Hartman and asso-
ciates control the B. & o. and that
this deal is with themselves.
Transfer of the road, 1t is said, will
be to Walsh, who has been trying to
get his lines into Chicago and thus
increase the value of the securities
of his defunct bank. Some stock
holders are preparing to attack the
transaction.

CAUSE OF CAR SHORTAGE.
Seattle Merchants Hold Freight on
Side Tracks.

Merchants, steamship men and
builders of the city are responsible
to a great extent for the inability of
the railroad companies to furnish
cars for shipments from Seattle, ac-
cording to the local freight agents of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, says the Seattle News.
They declare that cars are allowed
to stand on the tracks for days before
beind unloaded and in the case of the
transportation companies cars are
held for weeks at time. The Great
Northern has had considerable trou-
BILE from this latter source but Freight
Agent Digby declared this morning
that the trouble caused by the ia lure
of the merchants to unload their cars
is not so bad as 1t has been in the past
and that they seem to be doing what
they can to handle the goods as soon
as they arrive.
Particular complaint is made
against the refusal of the steamship
companies to remove the cargoes re-
ceived by rail for northern Shipment,
Mr.. Digby stated that considerable
of this freight is received in Seattle
weeks and months before the Nome
season opens and that the traEsporta.
tion companies have no place to store
1t until 1t can be loaded. This holds
up the cars for an indefinite length
of time and after this delay is over
the warehouses are crowded to the
doors. This makes it impossible to
unload other cargoes and the result IS
that hundreds are tied up on the To-
cal sidetracks.

What might be termed the launch
ing of the Chamberlain senatorial
boom took place in Spokane on Mon
day evening when Governor Chamber
lain said in an interview that while
he is not a candidate for senator from
Oregon. yet he had not said that he
would not accept the nomination.
A dispatch from Spokane says of
Governor Chamberlain's visit there
and of his sentiment on various Ore
gon questions:
Governor Chamberlain of Oregon,
when asked last evening If he would
be a candidate for senator, said:
81 am not a candidate for senator,
but do not say that l will not accept
the nomination under any circum-
stances, for l do not know what con-
ditions may confront me. 1 want to
get out of public life and l at first
refused to accept the nomination for
governor, but here l am, and l have
four years yet to serve, my term ex-
piring January II, 1911. The sena-
torial election Games up in two years"
Concerning the initiative and refer
endum law in oregon he said:
at has been a success so far as l
know. At the last election the demo-
Gratis all voted for the republican cam
didate. At the election the legislative
candidates are supposed to sign a
statement that they vii support their
party candidate or will not. Many of
them refused to sign any statement,
but don't know that II made any diff
ference in the election, save in the
case of one man. The idea is to have
the legislature elect the man who has
the largest number of votes. 1t is a
good law and will work out its own
solution in time"
The governor roasted the United
States senate and said II was the most
corrupt part of our government and
the only way to start fight for purer
government was to elect senators by
popular vote.
He said the senators themselves in
variably stood in the way of amending
the constitution to elect senators by
direct vote, but he believed the direct
primary would help wonderfully to
remedy this, as all legislature candi-
dates could then be pledged. Then
the man who receives the highest
number of votes should be elected by
the legislature.

the railroads are seeking to prevent
the attorney general and the state
of Missouri from enforcing the max
imum freight rate law was resumed
today. The law as passed two years
ago and the suit has been dragging

rate that would be ruinous to them.
The roads that are making the fight
are the Burlington, Wabash and Mis-
