The very first amendment that
attracts attention is the first one
published. This is offered un-
der Act No. % and if accepted
by the people will change Article
249 of the present Constitution
so as to increase the salary of the
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton from Two Thousand Dollars

iected by the people some two
years ago, or possibly longer
1t is up for our consideration

ruse the act in question and de-
eide whether we should vote as
we voted before or change our
vote and help to have it adopted.

court amendment, promises 10
, rise up again and again until the
naople will tire of it and adopt 1t
, in order to spare themselves the
ANNOYANCE of again having it sub

Furnace Stag and Candy" Roads the

For several years the sclen-
fists in the Office OF Publlc
Roads, as we'll as in many OF the
more progressive States, have
been working to achieve TWO
great objects, viz, the utilization
of by-products in road building
and the development of dustless
roads. Experiments already con-
Quoted indicate that crushed
rock combined with tar or asphalt
preparations bid fair to solve IN
a measure the dustless road
problem.
More unique than this, how
ever, the Office is preparing at
the same place to lay a stretch

is to advise the voter OF the true

the ballot box.

About II o'clock on the night of Feb.
9TH, we picked up anchor for Callao,
Peru. On the way we passed Valparaiso
Feb. 18th. The feet did not anchor
here, but the forts gave us the customary
salute of nineteen guns, which was re-
piled to with vigor by our gunners.
Shortly after leaving Valparaiso, We
ran into fog bank and it was two days
before we could see ahead. When the at
mosphere again cleared it afforded fine
opportunity for signal practice and con-
test at once ensued in this important
branch of the service between the various
vessels, which i am pleased to narrate
was on by the Georgia.
We dropped anchor at Callao Feb. goth.
While here bull fight was arranged to
take place at Lima, which is but seven
miles distant, to which all the men of the
fleet were admitted free of charge. From
the viewpoint of the natives, it was a fine
and enhancing exhibition, because two
of the fighters we're gored to death. Be-
fore we left, similar exhibition was ar
ranged. which but few members of the
crews attended.
The run to Magdalena Bay began Feb.
30. When three days out from Callao,
another signalling contest was ordered,
which was also won by the Georgia's
corps. On March 4th, we crossed the
line again, arriving at Magdalena Bay on
the 18th. This finished our last long
run, and while the sights have been in
spring and edifying to most OF us, we
shall all be glad when the feet again
reaches United States waters and anchors
in San Francisco bay.
