10 taking up the proposition. The
Detroit road has been only fairly
good. 1t is naturally q better soil
than roads nearer the river but the
work done upon IT was spasmodic and
left 1t In only passable shape. Now
W. A. Birch, one OF tina most capable
road overseers Of the county, has been
put in charge Of nine miles Of road In
that part Of the township. He starts
from the city limits east to the town
ship line, then north and covers q
number Of thoroughfares in that SEQ
tion Of the township. His work is al
ready giving evidence Of what little
systematic work will do.
We understand that Grant town
ship intends to put all Its roads in
chargeaef paid commissioners who
shall have definite duty Of putting
them In good condition. When the
other townships do the same, Dickin-
son will be the banner county Of the
state for good roads. Everywhef y
that farmers or officials have used
the drag and harrow in time the
roads speak for themselves and this
custom ought to become more
common.

There are several bills ip each house

The indications are that two or
three days will be taken up with the
discussion Of the bills and that vote
will not come until the last Of the

morning.

HIS PEACE ON
PULLIAM CASE
Makes NOnCOmmittal State
ment Which Says
Nothing.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-President Ban
johnson, of the American League, and
3 member of the National Baseball
Commission has at last made d non
committal statement in the differences
between President Harry Pulliam. Of
The National League, and President
Garry Hermann, of the National Com
mission, over the famous blacklist reso-
luton passed by the National Asso-
citation last fall.
In an interview Johnson said: This
trouble between Pulliam and Hermann
comes as a surprise to me, as I thought
the thing had been settled satisfactorily
at the meeting of the National Com
mittee in Cincinnati. / have not paid
a great deal Of attention to it, 1t would
be out of place for me to express an
opinion in the matter. I hardly think
the matter viii prove serious. and Pull
liam and Hermann viii fix it between
them. I certainly hope that Pulliam has
no idea of resiguing. as matters have
been very harmonious since he has been
president of the National League. and
he has done much for the game by
running the league the way he has.
johnson thinks practically every club
in the American League win be in
shape 70 play good ball next season. and
he expects another close race. He saws
the league schedule has practically been
completed, but that It can not be given
ont until after il has been ratified al
the joint meeting in February.

News has Just been received from
South America of the death Of the stall
lion PIetermaritzberg. which had been
sold TO a prominent breeder in the Ar
geutine Republic for $1,000. Pietermar-
itzberg won the 5000 Jockey Club stake
at Newmarket in 1901. The deceased
horse was by St. Simon, oUt of Sea Air.
To a certain extent the French Jock
ey Club has taken down tie bars with
regard to the early running of JwO-year-
ODDS by d recent ruling which permits
youngsters Of selling-plate class TO COM
pete Ia races after the first Monday IL
June. Heretofore the baby races Of
that country have been idle until the
last day Of July, and the change is
one that meets with general approval,
for the reason that it is hedged with a
restriction that ipsures lthe saving Of
the better juveniles.
The latest ruling Of the French turf
authorities is that twO-year-olds may
race after the first Monday IN June, but
only in selling races. Other events FOR
juveniles viii not be permitted before
the last day Of July. AS French own
eTs take few chances with what they
consider uTst- class horses in selling
races, il is believed that only genuine
selling platers viii take part in these
early events.

There has been little or no betting
so far on the EPSON Derby, and in ac-
cord with the trend Of development
ante-post betting Will hardly assume
noticeable proportions until a few
weeks before the big race, which is
scheduled for June 3. Betting on a
horse race in these days. four or five
months before the horses face the
starter is too much of a clean gamble
TO strike The fancy Of any except the
most confirmed gamblers.
