Movement for Better Roads.

The following circular dated June
II, has been issued for the newspapers
of the county by the department of
agriculture, showing that a system
attic effort is being made for the
improvement of the highways:
Statistics recently compiled by this
Office show that there are nearly g.
500, 900 miles of public roads in this
country, only small percentage of
which are improved. Necessarily it
will be many years before large per-
centage of this great mileage will be
improved, and in the meantime BIT is
of the utmost Importance that We
make the best possible use of facilities
at hand. An expenditure of nearly
$50, 600, 900 per annum is being applied
to the maintenance of these roads,
and it is safe to say that the Toss from
improper methods is we'll up in the
millions.
There are certain principles which
underlie the art of road building and
maintenance, and certain methods
known to many engineers and road
builders which are easily understood
and as easily put into practice. Un-
fortunately, these simple principles
and methods are not universally
known. The press Is the only agency
through which it is possible to reach
every road district in the country
and insure general consideration OF
the subject. l therefore ask your
cooperation in great educational
campaign to be conducted through
the columns of the newspapers in
each county in the United States.
Our plan is to send out to each
paper once a month plain, practical
article of about 1900 words in length,
designed to give such information as
can easily be applied to local road
conditions. We ask that you give
this article prominent place in your
paper, duu III
with it question column in which
your readers may set forth the
difficulties they encounter in the
maintenance Of the roads under their
charge. These questions may be for
warded to this office at stated inter
walls under ranked envelope, and
the answers will be made as quickly
as practicable.
l trust that you will let me hear
from you at the earlies possible
moment, and l should be glad to
have any suggestions from you as to
the best plan of cooperation between
the government and the press in this
educational campaign.
Very respectfully,

DISCUSS DEPOSIT OF FUNDS.

Ireasurers from twenty of the coun-
ties of the state gathered In the Union
Republican Club rooms at Sacramento
Wednesday morning for the purpose
OF discussing the act of the last Legis-
lature which provides for the deposit
of public moneys. They also con-
sidered the advisabllity of forming
themselves into an organization for
the mutual discussion of matters per-
tanning to the office which they
occupy. so that every year a general
discussion of the work being done in
the various counties throughout the
state can take place, and plans for
the betterment of the conditions be
suggested and voted upon.
Temporary organization was effect
ed by the election of j.. iR. Hickman
of Fresno as chairman and Glen f.
Murdoch of Sonoma as secretary.
After tie various treasurers had reg
istered their names and the county
which they represented. general dis
cussion took place regarding the act
passed by the last Legislature relative
to the depositing of public moneys in
banking institutions.
There was question brought up by
Charles A. Bantel of San Francisco,
relative to the legality of the act, but
he seemed, 10 be the only one who in
any way thought that the new law was
not in every respect legal and that
the surplus cash of any county could
be loaned to the various county bank
ing institutions without any liability
being placed upon the treasurer so
doing as long as he complied with
the articles of the act.
State Controller Nye, John Kelshaw
of San Luis Obispo, W. H. Steffier of
Calaveras and George Wenlger OF
Solano. all spoke upon the question
and without exception they stated
that the district attorneys of their
counties as we'll as the superior judges
had all deemed the new act entirely
legal and had so instructed them.
They all stated, with the exception of
course, of Mr. Nye, that they had all
OF their surplus money loaned out.
John N. Hunt of Los Angeles stated
that he had already placed over ST.
600, 600 out with the banks and George
Weniger of Solano, and secretary
Murdoch of Sonoma, both stated that
they had banked their entire funds
with the institutions in their respec-
tive counties.
Weniger and Murdoch stated that
they did not care to have the response
bility of handling all the county's
funds placed upon their hands, if
they had to keep all the money In the
county vaults, and that all OF the
funds belonging to their counties had
been loaned out with the exception of
just enough to carry them through
They stated that their system of bank
ing was to put all their money out
and call it in by $4,000 lots as they
needed it. Their pain was favorably
thought of by nearly alb of the trea-
surers, and these two gentlemen will
probably be called upon to explain
what kind of security they get from
the banks with which they do bust
ness. so that the other treasurers can
profit by their plan if they so desire.

SALES ARE ENORMOUS
Cooper Preparations Leading Topic in
Cincinnati-Callers ct Young Mans
Headquarters Interviewed.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 22-The most
interesting fe lture OF the enormous
sale of the Cooper preparations, now
going on in this city. is what the
medicines are actually accomplishing
among the people of Cincinnati.
AT the commencement OF his visit
here Mr.. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the later part OF his stay he would
receive hundreds OF callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations had done He also
stated that stomach trouble is the
foundation for a great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as it is
called, would prove very effective in
all cases of rheumatism simply by
getting the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy has been full
filled cannot be doubted after a half
hour spent at the young mans head
quarters listening to what his callers
have to say.
A reporter. who watched to ascer-
tain, if possible. some light on the
reasons for the immensely OF Coop
ers success interviewed about twenty
Of his callers yesterday afternoon
The statements made by those seen
indicate that physicians who claim
that Cooper IS merely passing fad
have not looked into the facts.
Some OF these statements were as
follows: Miss Sallie Middleton liv-
ing at 1857 Central Az upon being
questioned, said.
II have been troubled with general
weakness. dizziness, headache, sleep
lcssness and stomach disorders for q
