Rig Game Birds.

The capercailzie, or "black game bird
Of Norway" is one of the largest spe
cies Of game birds in the world, being
very hardy and frequently attaining Il
weight exceeding fifteen pounds, but
when the birds are young they are
easy prey Of hawks. The birds are
what are known as rangers" for the
reason that while in quest Of food
they cover wide expanse Of territory,
During periods Of heavy snowfall they
burrow into the snow and remain until

slsts chiefly Of birch buds, and in sum
mer they catch mice and other small
animals. They are rated as members

to discuss At any rate, both exist to
such an extent in our state that our
first patriotic duty is to either dispel
the ignorance In procuring the roads or
procuring the roads to dispel the ig
norance.
ri recently purchased piece OF land
near Fort Smith past which ran two
good roads recently built. This land
was tlmbered, but the timber had been
rated an incumbrance on the land. In
fact, it hadn't been profitable to steal
It and haul it to town, which fact prob
ably accounts for it's still being there.
I had lot Of this timber cut and put a
rather intelligent person looking for
disposal OF 1t. Some time later I was
surprised when he told me that it was
sold at net price, after paying for the
hauling, which would more than pay
for clearing the land. On looking into
this I found that the good roads made
1t possible to haul a cord Or more at q
load Of this wood to market and make
about four loads day, whereas before
the good roads were built two loads Of
one-half cord each were all that one
team could do It cost So q cord to
haul this wood before the good roads
were built and rs cents cord after
ward. In other words, the wood was
worth $225 per cord after the roads
were put in, while it was absolutely
worthless before. ! find that the diff
ference in the cost of hauling a ton Of
hay to market before and after the
good roads for distance Of seven miles
is about So. One Of my farm teams
over the bad roads will bring 4 ton of
hay to town in day. Over the good
roads they will bring three tons. SO
the product Of Il meadow Of 100 acres
Is worth about $500 more with good
road to it at seven miles from town
than it is with bad road. Before this
good road was built the meadow was
worth $40 per acre. Since it is built
$50 seems reasonable price for it.
II have found by actual experience
that the tax the farmers are paying
which keeps them poverty stricken is
that imposed by bad roads For many
years tried earnestly to lScate an in
dnStrious class Of farmers IL this coun-
ty. On different occasions / did sue
coed in getting several such colonies
started. None Of them remain. Usu-
ally they were a hardy class of Ger
mans such as settled the prairies and
states to the north and west Of us.
One by one they would sell out and 60
back to the prairie country. On close
questioning l would find that the lack
Of roads and schools was so great these
people wouldn't stay. The country
they came from had a tax three times
as large as ours. In fact, many Of the
school districts In Kansas where they
had lived levied school tax mucl
greater than our total tax, and it va:
not unusual for the total tax to be 6 PEI
cent In the counties from which thes,
German settlers came. They wouk

WHY GOOD ROADS PAY
MAKE LAND VALUABLE AND CREATE
HIGH AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE.

Having Improved Highways Told
by an Arkansas Man-serious Effect
OF had Road Tax on Farmers.
At the recent convention Of the
Arkansas Good Roads association held
at Fort Smith, Il. e. Kelley, according
to the Goods Roads Magazine, spoke
On "Good Roads-Why They Pay
saying in part as follows:
''Roads are the foundation of civil
cation. They form the means of COM
munication between people, and there
is mo better index of the intelligence Of
any community than its roads. Good
roads pay. They make high land val
ues, and in time they create high aver
age intelligence in the country through
which they are built Perhaps no bet
ter example Of this can be found than
IN New Zealand, where the general
government undertakes the building
and care Of all roads--the railroads as
we'll as the wagon roads. The country
OF New Zealand is much like that Of
Arkansas, but the government adopted
q development policy which Is very
effective and highly profitable. One Of
the main lines Of business conducted
by the government Of New Zealand is
in real estate It acquired by purchase
or condemnation large tracts Of land.
The first thing in the way Of develop
ment was a highway built through the
property. Along this the government
sells out to settlers on long time and
easy payments land III suitable sizes
for farms and homes. The settlers on
this land are first given employment
by working ON the roads After the
roads are in good condition the popula-
ton comes quite rapidly, and it Is as
tonishing what that government is ac-
complishing in spreading its people out
on the soil. There is no congestion OF
the population i'll cities. Each citizen
is encouraged to get q home Of as many
acres of land as he can take care of
and the result is q population whose
general intelligence and comfort ara
greater than I have seen elsewhere.
'pThat good roads pay is a generally
conceded fact. and it has seemed
strange to me that an argument on Thu
subject should be needed. \ visit +
any of the rural districts Of Arkansa
Is convincing proof that an. argumen
is required, for the good roads are no
there, and cannot conceive of great

could not understand Chinese nor the
Chinese defendant Hawaiian. SO the
testimony had to be taken and con-

A Hawaiian woman would take the

terpreter could not understand this
so the Hawaiian Interpreter would
translate it into English for his bene

and the Chinese interpreter would
then give the Celestial version to the
Chinese defendant. When a Chinese
witness was on the stand, the stream
of translated testimony flowed the
other way.
The womans sister was one of the
witnesses for the Government. She

REPAIR RESERVOIR

years ago, and which has never
been made to hold water per

years more OF less work has
been done in an effort 20 make

1t seems now that the town
has proposition from "a respon
sible party to take the work in
charge and make 10 hold water
for given sum. and it is likely
that the proposition will be con
sidered and accepted.
If this reservoir can be made
TO hold at any reasonable price.
it will be a great blessing to the
town. The town needs an ad-
d'tional supply of water to draw
from in dry weather, during
break downs in the main line
and the reservoir would. il
seems TO us, be a sure remedy.
