A Soliloquy

All, the barrier is removed! How
patiently have l waited for this oppor-
tunity, which my instinct told me
would come sooner or later. Will l
regale myself? Anticipation swells me.
What long, copious draught will I
take. IT'S nectar! Yon sweet blossom
has been most tenderly nurtured. To
mar its beauty seems pity. But l
have hidden in dark corners so long,
with just this goal in view, that 1 fain
would hasten ere it is too late. A cryl
A patter of rushing feet. A gasp!
And her hands are stained with the life
blood of the babe-and the mosquito is
no more. V.

ROADS IN NATIONAL FOREST
The Department of Agriculture will Co
Operate with the Forest Service

The office of public roads oil the De-
partment of Agriculture is to cooperate
with the forest service in drawing up
plans for comprehensive systems OF
roads and trails through national for
ests. For the last two years congress
has appropriated funds for permanent
improvements on national forests and a
large part of the money thus made
available has been and is being used
for road and trail building. The
amount is too small, however, in com
parison with the total area of the for
ests, to make possible more than a very
small beginning. With thicker settle
ment and increasing use OF the forests
good roads will become more and more
a crying necessity.
The object of securing the help OF
the office of good roads is to make the
work take the line that will not merely
serve temporary convenience, but also
count for most in the end. By build
ing each year with reference to a care
fully worked-out plan the danger OF in
directed effort will be escaped.
During the present summer an en-
gineer of the office of roads will 60
over the ground on several of the for
ests and draw up plans which will be
submitted to the forester, and will
serve to guide subsequent work. In
case where roads planned for cannot
be built, trails will so far as possible be
made to follow the courses laid out,
with the expectation that they will be
converted later into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and fire lines already constructed on
national forests are proving of great
value both in the work OF fire protec-
ton and in serving the convenience of
the public. The further this work can
be carried the greater will be the use
fulness OF the forests.

NEWS ITEMS FROM SEATTLE
King County Has One or More Candidates
For Every Office on The State
Ticket

The populations of R. F. Parkhurst,
assistant cashier of the First National
Bank, Seattle, extended over long
period of years and reached the total
OF $4,000. 1t was one OF those
cases that makes a man stop and Won
der if his neighbor is as honest as he
thought he was. Parkhurst's record
was so good that when the Bank
changed hands he was the only official
taken over by the new management
and has always been looked upon as
an exemplary man. For years he has
fooled the most expert bank examiners
and accountants. 1t does not appear
that the proceeds of his thefts did him
any particular good as he lived very
quietly and had but little property to
turn over to the bank when he was
discovered. The knowledge all these
years that sooner or later he would
have to suffer for his crimes must have
outweighed the Temporary satisfaction
he gained from handling money that
was not his.
When two or more Seattle people
get together their talk sooner or later
turns to politics. Things are warming
up at a great rate and so many people
have taken advantage of the new pri-
mary law that every second man you
meet is candidate for some Office or
is managing some one who is. Grad
ually the big fights are centering in
Seattle. King county where there are
precints that would wipe out the vote
of some of the small counties, is now
the battle ground, most of the can
didates for state Offices have finished
their journeys throughout the state and
have left King county for the last at
tacks. Governor Mead has opened
headquarters in the Arlington Hotel
where Cosgrove has been established
for weeks. The P-I. picks him to
win while the Times is equally en-
thusiastic over the prospects of Nc
Bride. The Star, which is sticking
to its rule of being entirely unpre-
JUDGED, places Cosgrove in the lead
ing place. Certainly the Pomeroy
man is gaining rapidly in this county
and predictions that he will be the
nominee for governor are freely made
by local politicians. He has devel-
oped strength in King County that
is bewildering his opponents.
When the Pacific fleet sails away on
its cruise to the South Pacific this fall
it will carry among its stores 100000
pounds of flour ground from wheat
grown in eastern Washington. Uncle
Sam, insisted, when he asked for bids,
that the flour should be from home
grown wheat.
The P-I has wakened up to the fact
that King county is asking great deal
from the electors this fall. There are
candidates in King county for almost
everything in sight. Seattle is not as
selfish as she is given credit for and
the feeling that she is asking for too
much will cost Mcbride good many
votes in the county.

Announcement has just been made
of the amounts which each state con-
tanning national forests will receive I'M
der the new law giving rs per cent of
the gross receipts from forests to these
states. The total amount to 60 to the
states from the receipts of the fiscal
year, which ended June 80, is Sat-
063.7o.
Washington's part of this fund is
$18,032.7o. The law requires that
this money be expended upon public
roads and schools by the counties
which contain national forest land. In
this way the counties are compensated
for the reduction of taxable area occa-
stoned by the existence of the forests.
Before this year the states have re-
ceived 10 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts, but congress voted last winter
to increase the amount to 25 per cent.

In any state. 1t is a Republican vic.

tr<aason-tainte1 victories they arc
welcome to their opinion. They are
entitled to no more credit for their
success than the British would have
been IL the plan of Benedict Arnold
to betray his country had not been
wrecked by three patriot farmers.
The Democrats who voted for
Bradley are traitors as vile and as
| low as were ever disclosed. The con-
clusion that their action was influ-
enced by money or some other valu-
able consideration is inevitable. For
they had an opportunity, before the
result of the ballot was announced
to change their votes to Democrat
other than Beckham. a party man
whose hands are clean. and they re-
fused. We do not see how they can
ever again hold up their heads in the
company of honest men. There was
no more justification for their ac-
tion than for Arnold's. If they have
not a bitter reckoning In store We

the high office he sought. His de-
feat is retribution of the only sort

to vote for him were strictly within

were the four who yesterday voted
for Bradley.

REFLECTED IN LIFE.
; = I. = + + = = = = = = = =

It is rare that-th world gets an
insight of such staunch friendship
between two men not bound by ties
Of blood as that brought to the sur
face by the will of the late Susan E.
Crowell which bequeathed the for
tune received by her from her broth
er to his boyhood friend, Mr.. Irving
Howbert of Colorado Springs.
Mr.. Howbert and the brother of
Miss Crowell were close companions
in business and political life from
the earliest days of Colorado. When
Ell Paso county was formed the one
was treasurer, the other clerk of the
new county. They were together in
Leadville. opened the Robert E. Lee
mine and were made wealthy by it,
joined in founding bank and were
inseparable in all business affairs
When B. F. Crowell died without di-
rect heirs he left his property to his
maiden sisters, Mr.. Howbert being
named the executor in the will. The
surviving friend managed the estate
and assumed all its cares. He be-
comes the principal heir now that the
last of the sisters Is dead.
Damon and Pythias live in ro-
nance, but there are to be found
few copies in real life. Wealth
makes a rock against which few
friendships are proof. Men may
agree for years in everything else
and be the best of friends until
thrown together in financial trans
actions. to emerge from them bitter
enemies. 1t is seldom that the opin-
ions or judgments of two can accord
when the conduct of money affairs
is the theme. That these two men
were associated for over thirty years,
lived and worked together as even
few brothers find it possible, held
their interests so nearly in common
that it should be desired that the
children of the other should receive
the fruit of his labors, after the
death of the last one dependant upon
his toll, provides a pleasing contrast
of light to much that Is dark and
sordid in the world of business strife.

series.
Five of the greatest men to be
heard on the American platform next
season and two brilliant and bright
entertainment numbers will be Of
fered and have been selected. There
is no question but what the course
will meet with the hearty approval
of the hundreds of present ticket
holders who expect to renew their
tickets for another year. There will
be no better or greater course in the
West. Each number is certain to
be well worth the price of an entire
season ticket. Rev. Becker is to be
congratulated upon being able to Sc
cure such an array of talent for next
year.
The attractions selected are as fol-
lows:
Hon. John A. johnson, governor of
Minnesota, and one of the strongest
and best known men in the public
life of America today. He will be
available for only few lecture dates
next season and Grand Junction is
indeed fortunate to secure him for
one of these dates.

of Indiana, and conceded to be one
of the ablest, most aggressive and
most conscientious governors the
Hoosier state ever had. He is man

of President Roosevelt, and who has
been designated by Mr. Roosevelt as
'the most useful citizen in New

conditions in the slums of the great
metropolis won him International
fame. He is one of the greatest
writer's and one of the most brilliant
lecturers of the day.
Russell H. Conwell, the famous
preacher, author and orator, the
president of the Temple College of
Philadelphia and pastor of the ia
nous Baptist Temple of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Conwell has been in the
lecture field for 46 years. He is
without doubt one of the greatest
men on the American platform. Few
lecturers are in such demand.
William Hawley Smith, brilliant
orator, deep thinker, entertaining
speaker and withal one of the lead
ing men of the lyceum world. He Is
worthy contemporary for the three
characters above named.
Gcrnmin, the Wizard, and his rich
ly talented company in a remarkable
program of music, mirth, mystery
and legerdemain.
The Whitney Brothers Quartette,
one of the finest and best musical
organizations available.
Naturally the price of admission
tickets for next years course will be
much cheaper than the tickets this
season as there will be only about
half as many numbers.
AS usual season tickets for next
years course will be placed on sale
at the conclusion of the present sea-

1t has been decided not to attempt
to handle as great series of attrac-

too great although there is every in

will be met without a deficiency.

seven attractions, each and every one
