Auburn's Enterprise Anent Bot
tom" Road.

One of the features in the good
roads problem has had its efficiency
and practicability well illustrated
by recent high water movements
in southeastern Nebraska. At
Auburn there is a two-mile stretch
of elevated macadamized road. bed
leading across the Nemaha river
bottom into town. This road was
built jointly by the u. S. govern
ment and the business interests
directly concerned. During the
wet weather furries of the present
spring and summer this piece of
road has shown It's efficiency by
atfording sure and easy access to
town for the farmers east of the
river, while other towns similarly
situated, but without the conven
fence of an elevated road, have had
their trade relations with the farm
ing public greatly hampered, and
the farmers have been greatly dis
commoded and the work of repair
ing roads is simply an afterthought,
together with the expense it will
necessarily entail. The public
road question for eastern Nebraska
is to become a live issue at no dis
tant day from a strictly business
point of view, and it must be
handled upon broadcast of lines.
Half way measures in public road
construction are but a nuisance,

MARKET LETTER
From Our Regular Kansas City
Stock Yards Correspondent

lAdiiSdo WY otOSh aus,
July 90, 1908.
The cattle market continued to
soften last week in spite of moder-
ate receipts, grass killing steers
getting most of the decline, 30 to
80 cents, gross COWS 20 to 30 cents
lower, stockers and feeders a quar-
ter lower, while fed steers held
nearly steady. The run is 10000
head today, moderate for this sea-
son, held down by the unsatisfac-
tory market last week. Pastures
all over the native territory are in
good shape, and cattle doing we'll,
and owners are reluctant to turn
them loose while there is a pros
pect of adding to the weight. The
market today is %unevenly lower on
steers again, caused mainly by a
heavy run at Chicago today, and
lower prices there. The supply of
guarantees here is light, and is
not a factor in depressing the mar
ket. Cows are about steady today,
also stockers and feeders. A sale
of pretty good steers at S6.65 this
morning is considered Is to %
cents below close of last week,
other sales about 10 lower, grass
steers from Kansas and Missouri
pastures $3.50 to $500, grass COWS
$3.50 to $3.50, bulls 50 10 to 50. Is,

homa feeders sold today at $500,

country last week amounted to 300
car loads, and this trade will grow
each week from now on,
Hog prices declined 20cents last
week, under the influence of a de.
termined bear campaign by the
packers, and in spite Of moderate
receipts. The run is 1000 head
today, market about steady at the
close, after ruling weaker a part of
the session. Speculative reasons
are given for the attitude of pack
ers, together with the increasing
proportion of grassy stuff included,
which they claim has been selling
too close to good hogs. Heavy
weights still lead, although ship
pers have also paid top price for
good medium weight butchers.
Top today is Sc. 50, bulk S6.30 to

Child Drowned in Stock Tank

Cleo Jessie, the Is months old
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Bum,
who live north of this c ty, was
drowned last Thursday evening in
a stock tank. The little one had
accidentally fallen into the tank
while trying to get a drink.
The body was found by the
mother about six o'clock in the

BUSINESS men
SHOULD GOVERN
BY CHARLES W. ELIOT,

President of Harvard University.
believe that board of five select
men would be safer, more intelligent
and in the end more Democratic than
an autocratic mayor or our present
system.
We need men as agents of the peo-
pie who are competent business men
and have proved themselves to be
such. Municipal business has become
very complicated and needs expert
cervice.
We can only get expert men into
our city business as great business cor
porations get them. These corpora
tons are governed by small body of
directors, whose chief function is to
select experts. These directors have
to be men capable of directing the
grand policies of the corporation.
We want in our cities men who have
proved their competence in their pri-
vate business. The commonest objec-
ton is all in the word "un-American.
So many good things nowadays are
un-American. So many l have heard
called that when first proposed have
later proved their worth and been
adopted. Undemocratic, is another
such word. Whatever policy will get
the work of the people well done ought
to be democratic if it isn't now. Those
are the very conditions of the life OF
democracy.
But no form of government will be
good government unless there be be
hind it the voting population which
desires good government.

The musical and literary concert,
given by the students Of the South
Mississippi College to the Mississippi
Press Association Tuesday night was
in the nature Of delightful surprise.
A great many of the editors had no
idea of the great magnitude and the
splendid work of this newly estab-
lished College. They had no idea thai
so much work along school lines could
be done within two years. What they
saw was magnificently apportioned
buildings, with all modern appliances
for carrying on a high grade Of col
Iege work
The first piece on the program,
Soldiers Chorus (Gounod) was rem
dered by college chorus and greatly
pleased the audience.
The second rendition was I'm
phomptu Op. % No. g." by Miss
Thames.
The college male quartet then came
forward and more than sustained its
well earned reputation by, rendering
that ever popular and beautiful song,
"My Old Kentucky Home" The young
men, after repeated encores came out
and rendered another very pretty song.
The next thing was scenes from
much Ado About Nothing"

ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.
Marked Distress ir Shipbuilding and
Iron Industries in Britain.

Britain to-day has more money than
work. Redundant capital lies idle or
at the unproductive interest of one per
cent. Redundant labor is idle at the
season when employment should be at
its best. The distress is most marked
in the shipbuilding and iron industries.
Unremunerative freights account for II
more vessels being laid up in the Tyne
last week, making the total "a or 300,-
600 tonnage. In shipbuilding only 3d.
900 are employed, compared with 45,-
COO last year.
Mr.. Thackeray, president OF the
North of England Iron and Steel
Trades Cancellation Board, declared
that he could not remember trade so
bad for 40 years, except in 1856. The
Mersey docks are full of laid-up YES
sells, and there are thousands of sailors
without ships. while 500 ships officers
are walking the streets instead OF the
normal 90 or 60 out of employment.
From 5000 to 1000 dockhands are
without work.
The Glasgow Distress Committee es-
Inmates that next winter 5000 head;
of families will require providing for,
but funds are exhausted. Eight ship
yards are without work Shipbuilders
trace the slump" to the abnormal
cost of production and the shrinkage in
freights.
In Manchester the engineering and
shipbuilding trades are in a very bad
state. The voorhees, number $4,000.
The Boilermakers' Trade Union reports
about 10000, or 20 per cent. unem-
ployed, mainly due to the shipbuilding
trade depression, intensified by the en-
cheering dispute on the northeast
coast of England. The prospect fer the
immediate future is very bad. as mem
bers largely depend upon the ship
building trade.

this season, according to reports re-
ceived by Harry J. Nicely, secretary OF
the national apple show of Spokane,
from 1900 growers operating in the
various belts in the union. The returns
show that while droughts, excessive
rains or pests wrought havoc in many
districts in the middle western. eastern
and several southern States, the entire
crop is fully as large as in 1907. AMI
