AC|TAT|NC FOR
BETTER ROADS
SCHEMES FOR THE RETIREMENT
OF RURAL ROADWAYS BEING
DISCUSSED.

The old question of good roads is
again being brought up for discussion,
by merchants, manufacturers and
farmers of the county, to the end that
Wapello county shall have as good
roads as any part of the state. Much
agitation has been had over this ques-
ton each year for several years past
and it is hoped that by constantly
keeping at it, an Improvement will
ultimately result.
The United States postoffice depart
ment have issued many statements re-
garding the condition of the roads in
order to better the situation for the
rural route mail deliverers. In some
portions of the county the roads are
at present in the best Of condition
while in the greater number of dis
tricts the roads are in poor condition.
Discussion Opens Anew
With the advent Of spring the dis
cussion begins anew and is being talk
ed of by people OF every walk of life
over the county. Many think of pool
ing together and making purse for
distribution as prizes to the farmers
as an inducement to make better roads
through the county. A stretch of
road near Clinton Iowa, is cited as an
example of what can be done in order
to make good roads. At this place a
fourteen mile piece of road composed
of black dirt has been made by twenty
farmers in that district.
The method used by the farmers
in bringing up the road to such fine
condition was King drag. The opera
ton of this method of making good
roads is simple and effective in it's re.
suits. The means used in many rec.
lions Of the country iS to mako a drag

PROSPEROUS SAN Luls

The following review Of the San
Luis valley, written for the Den
yer News by G. A. Lyman, after a
careful inspection. is not exagger-
ated:
Every seasonable rains with
more than the usual flow in the
streams have made the outlook
for generous csops most encourag-
ing. There has been some com
plant of damage done peas by cut
worms, but the total acreage OF
good peas will largely exceed that
of last year. There will be a
heavy potato crop and the cash
receipts should be so per cent
larger than last year.
There will be a falling off in
the wheat crop. The low price of
lambs will enable the farmers to
make more money out Of the fin
ished product. The pig crop is
double that of last year. Many
came late and will not go on the
market until next spring.
considering the seasons work
from the dollar viewpoint, l think
! am safe in saying the farmers
cash profits will be Is per cent
higher than in 1907.
This situation is particularly
gratifying when it is recalled that
the population of the San Luis
valley has been greatly increased
during the last few years, the new
corners being farmers from the
middle Western states who ven-
tured into new country without
the usual financial backing. These
men have worked hard. and their
iabors have been generously re-
warded.
I'm the beginning. many of them
were timid and not few skepti-
cal, but now without exception
they are boosters for the Centen.
nial state-the land of promise
and the letters they are sending to
their friends in their old homes
are the very best advertisements
the valley and the state could
receive"

TAT'S SPEECH

VIM. H. Taft has delivered his
speech accepting the nomination
for president. Mr.. Taft eulogizes
President Roosevelt and declares
he will follow the course which has
made the president one Of the most
popular presidents the country
ever had.
VIM. j. Bryan will soon follow
with his speeh accepting the den,-
ocratic nomination for the same
high Office.
From u careful reading of Mr.
Tufts speech it is evident that the
injunction and the banking planks
will bc the leading issues. Mr.
Taft stands by the laws aud prac.
tice Of courts in the matter of in.
functions ms they now exist and
opposes the guarantee Of deposits
in national banks.

The Buck Stove aud Range con.
pany, who at one time were boy
ootted by the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, secured an injunc-
ton in the federal court. They
now claim that the injunction has
not been obeyed by Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and others aud
these men are now cited to appear
before u federal court, Sept. s, and
show cause, If any they have, why
they should not be punished for
contempt.
Gompers is quoted as saying to
several newspaper men:
$50 far as ! am concerned, I
wish 70 state this: When il comes
to n choice between surrnderinx

the court l do not hesitate u say

THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY

The Hearst party at its first
National convention in Chicago
Tuesday night nominated Thomas
l.. Hisgen, of Massachusetts,. fol-
president and John T. Graves. OF
Georgia, vice president.
Mr.. Hisgen was candidate for
governor in his state two years ago
and polled more votes than the
democratic candidate. He is the
only man in the country who has
successfully bucked the standard
oil crowd
The platform is radical and
strikes at the roots Of the evils of
which the country complains.
The planks that will command
most attention are: Direct legis-
lation.
No man to be deprived of his
liberty without trial by jury.
Government postal savings
banks.
A central government bank
through which "a national currency
shall be issued and its volume con-
trolled.
Government ownership Of all
public utilities. including railroads.
Exclusion of Asiatic immigra-
ton.
Endorses the project for deep
waterways, etc.

These measures had some effect, but 1t was Impossible for such an uproar to die in an Instant. The state standards in large number were returned to their places and one hour after it's commencement the ex- element and the noise were sdhsiding. Chairman Clayton made vigorons use of his gave, but every thump brought out increased yells from the crowd They tuned their shouts to the motion of his arm and the bang of the heavy mallet and the shouts from tho crowd came at the same time. When the chairman ceased. the noise dwindled One hour and five minutes after MT Dunn had spoken his last word. the hall was rapidly quieting down and the mass of the delegates and spectators was seated.
 The demonstration lasted an hour and twelve minutes On tho restora- ton of quiet speeches of five minutes duration were made seconding the nomination.
 At 1l:10 D. m, the name of Cover nor Johnson was put in nomination and q terrific outbreak on endorse ment followed, lasting twenty-four minutes.
