Predicts 1000. 900 for Spokane.

Era Elbertus" of East Aurora,
Elbert Hubbard of the lecture plat
form, once wrote an extensive article
in his "Philistine" after visit to this
city, entitled Spokane, the Model
City of America" says the Spokes-
man-Review. In the latest issue Of
the magazine he takes occasion to
confirm his first impressions of the
city, having made a second visit here
on a lecture tour.
Spokane is the capital of great
inland empire" he says, "and the
country back of 1t will support a city
of million people, Spokane has the
look of a Geneva in situation, and the
enterprise, intelligence and thrift of
the people make you think of the
Swiss or the Dutch"

rirat colonists DAYS plsappolntIng.

The rush. OF colonists to the north
west which was anticipated for sew
eral weeks seems to have actually be-
gun, although the first Of the trains
under the homesekers rate made a
rather disappointing showing, says
the Spokesman Review.
Sunday was the best day so far, all
trains from the east carrying approx
lmately 600 people travelling to des-
tinations in Washington. 1t is esti-
mated that about 175 stopped In Spo-
kane, the others going on west, prin-
cipally to Seattle.
The large majority of the colonists
came in over the Northern Pacific.
About 300 were on train No. s, arriv-
ing in the morning. About rs ended
their trip in Spokane. This train had
on two extra coaches, and all the cars
in which the colonists were travelling
were crowded when 1t arrived here.
No 3, which arrived last night at
1850, had on an extra coach, which
was added to the equipment at Boze-
man, Mont. Passengers among the
so or more who left the train in Spo-
kane says that there were between
$50 and 200 passengers travelling on
the low rate tickets to this point and
points west.

Spring blowing Commenced.

Reports ceived in the city from
the farming districts are to the ef-
feet that spring plowing has been
commenced in practically all Of the
country on this side of Craig noun
tain, while on the mountain itself
and the prairie country beyond the
frost in the ground is delaying the
spring work, says the Lewiston Tel
Ter.
The acreage of fall grain in the
country west Of the mountains Is
much larger than last year, and the
open fall weather permitted the
farmers to do much of the plowing
for the spring crop before the winter
set in. These conditions will favor
earlier seeding of the spring crop and
the plowing of the summer fallow
before the hot season begins.

OE KALB COUNTY TRIES
 SEVERAL EXPERIMENTS
People Are Greatly Interested In High way Improvements and Are Doing Much To Improve Pres
 ent Conditions.
BY MRS. w. W. ovERsTREET.

Greensboro, April 15.-(Special)-Tha there is a decided interest in favor of good roads throughout Hale county $ proven by the fact that there has been more work done on them in the past four months than ever before in the history of the county Strange to say, however, not a man in the county seems to have formulated any plan which he thinks is good enough to give to The Age-Herald. At any rate not one is willing to be quoted. Some say issue bonds, some favor the use of convicts in working the roads, but all of them are too modest to allow their names to appear in print.
 Though all agree in saying that the question of good roads is the most inn portant before the people today and that lands would increase 50 per cent in value could the roads be put in better order. A special road tax has been levied but the fund will not be available until next year.
 A very healthy sentiment along this line has been worked up in North Hale by Jack Henry. He has taken hold Of one of the worst pieces of road in Hale known as Big Creek Swamp road, and has improved it until it is now one of the pest roads in that district. He has done much of the work himself. His neighbors have helped some with the work and have contributed some money. All in all MT. Henry has succeeded in arousing neigh borhood pride in good roads which may be the proper spirit to arouse, so that communities would vie with each other in having their roads in the best order and thus get the whole in perfect order.

ARGUMENT GIVEN
 FOR GREATER NAVY

Paris, April 15-The Temps today ex- presses enthusiastic approval of Pres ident Roosevelts reasoning in favor Of additional battleships for the American navy, especially the affirmation that the United States would lose rank as great power, not only if she was feeble, but if she had the reputation of being feeble.
 France should mediate on this" the paper says, because it applies equally to her" Continuing, the Temps points out that whether the United States likes it or not, the great change in American policies of the last 10 years, as well as the in- evitable march of events, forces her into the active policies of the whole world, Tn which she must play her part; to avoid war with Japan, she must have a fleet permanently in the Pacific. The Amer ican people are at present confused as to the proper course to pursue, but Pres ident Roosevelt's naval policy suggests q luminous and wise pathway which the country sooner or later will follow.

CUBA SCHOOL CLOSES.
Commencement Exercises Are Greatly
 Enjoyed.

Cuba, April 15.-(Special.) l.)-The closing exercises of the Cuba High school began last Friday night with a play entitled, "A Confederate Spy,' rendered by local tal- ent. On Sunday the commencement ser- mon was delivered by the Rev. T. E. 1 Waites of the University of Chicago and was considered possibly the best sermon ever heard here Monday night the exer- cises consisted Of music by the smaller children Yesterday morning the contest for the medal for best Reclamation and recitation took place. Ward Vaughan won the medal and Miss Marie Culpepper another. The annual address was dcliv- cred by Prof. George Brock of the Ala bama Normal college. The present fac- ulty was reelected with the exception of Prof. A. D. Cowles, who>will engage in other professional work The attendance throughout the session has been good and the school has been kept up to the top notch. The city fathers have had it borne in on them that they need more room, and it is likely that efforts will be made to have larger and more conl- modious building before the next term opens. The trustees have been warmly commended for terminating the session early as great many of the larger boys are needed on the truck farms just now.

PEOPLE OF DE KALB COUNTY
 WANT BETTER PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Citizens Want Education on Most Ef- ficient Methods of Spending
 Money on Roads.
BY MISS FRANK DoBBs.

Fort Payne, April 15.-(Speclal.)-lhe people of DeKalb have long been en- unused over the subject of good fo3ds, More than 10 years ago they procured the passage of a special act providing for a tax of one-half mill for the purpose of working the roads, the proceeds to be used for no other purpose. It was an effort in the way of an experiment to see what could be done with roads with the proper funds.
 The most serious obstacle has been as- pertaining the proper method of working the roads economically and efficiently. Two years ago proposition to issue bonds for building roads was defeated, chiefly because the people were afraid that they were not sufficiently educated in this direction to insure the money being spent to the best advantage.
 They are willing to spend money to make roads, but they want to know for certain that when the money is spent they will have value received for it. That seems to be the general feeling, as was demonstrated by a prominent citizen, who, in discussing the many things that were being said and printed about good roads, remarked: If these people who are talk ing so much about good roads will take pick and shovel and go out and show us how to build a few yards of good road they will do more good than all the talk will ever do.'
 The county is now spending some 5000 or SS000 a year on the public roads and greatly improving them. The county com missioners some time ago adopted the plan of donating from the county funds as much as any one beat or community would contribute for building good roads. This plan has stimulated many communi- ties into raising money for their own roads, and has proved to be most excel lent and sagacious measure. Under this plan number of fine roads have been built up the two mountains which have always been the hardest problem in the road question of this section.
 The matter of working convicts on the public roads has no interest, the con- victs are so few that it would hardly be worth while to prepare for working and taking care of them.
 Recently the county has purchased sev- eral teams of mules, a road machine and other tools and is making an experiment in the direction of working the roads by the use of these tools in conjunction with hired hands and the labor of those sub ject to road duty under the law. What ever the experiment may turn out it will be at least in the nature of education in that direction anyway.
 The great difficulty seems to be to get someone at the head of the work who knows how it should be done so that the people may get the worth of their mon5y when it is spent. That difficulty has not been surmounted yet

MORE ACTIVITY
 IN IRON BUSINESS Some Lines Are Doing Better
 Than Others RAILROADS PLACE ORDERS Inquiry Has Been Made For Large n
RAILROADS PLACE ORDERS
Inquiry Has Been Made For Large Tonnage of Pig Iron-Sheet Busi- ness Is Increasing and Buy
 ing Is More Free.

Cleveland, O., April 15.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 While there is increased activity in some lines, rail mills and other plants are not turning out such large tonnages as they did a month ago.
 In structural steel contracts orders for about 12,O0O tons have been placed in the Chicago territory, the principal contract being for the Corn Products Manufao- turing company, involving 36OO tons of structural steel and about 600 tons of castings, thep rice being $44 per ton AL though this is very low for fabricated ma terial there is no evidence that less than the full prices will be paid for the struc- tural shapes. Northwestern railroads placed orders of good size for viaducts and track elevation.
 Present conditions in the pig iron mar ket are far from satisfactory to the sell CTS A meeting at which about four ifths of the southern furnace capacity was represented, was held last week in Birmingham, and conditions were thor oughly discussed. No conclusion was reached and another meeting will be held in New York Thursday, which will be at- tended by both northern and southern pro- ducers, and it is hoped that more hal monious relations will result. signifi- cant fact is that number of furnaces whose owners have been selling pig iron at very low prices have been blown out within a few days. The most important inquiry now pending for pig iron is for 12000 tons from an interest which sells largely to railroad companies. Whether the inquiry is meant merely to test the market is not konwn.
 The sheet business is increasing, and there is now fair amount of buying. The demand for tin plate is well maintained, and production is at about the normal rate. Evidence of importance in steel bars are noticeable, especially in the Pittsburg and Chicago districts. A nYpber of large contracts for cotton ties have been placed since the opening of the market last week.
 Only about 26 per cent of the ovens of the Connellsville coke region are now in operation.
