New Hampshire and William Pitt Kel-
logg, former Republican Governor of
Louisiana, have issued from Washington
an appeal, or. as they term it. "a few
suggestive words" to the Republican vot-
crs Of the South. First, they ask that
the Southern delegates to the presidential
convention be not massed in favor Of any
a candidate, expressing their belief that
any candidate nominated as a result of
the united action of the Southern dele
gates would be defeated at the polls. They
urge that the delegates be, If possible,

dence, discretion and wisdom. according
to their best judgment, formed only mt the

Also issue \ warning against allowing the
delegates to be named or controlled by

protest against excluding colored Rapub-

election of delegates.

HOLDING RATIO TO ONE

INHABITANTS OF SPOKANE.

Spokane will have no more sa-
loon licenses until 1t has far sur
passed the desired population of
10000, which the Booster club has
worked necessarily for for some
years. Not until the city passes
we'll over the 100000 mark will
there be another saloon. All this,
of course, is contingent uDon
future councils not repeating the
action of the council last night,
which passed the limitation ordi-
nance. There are now 234 licenses.
This number is not to be increased
until the population amounts to
1000 persons to a saloon. Thus
the population of Spokane would
be $4,000.
Breweries, which hold the most
of the licenses. are preparing to
change them to the names of those
parties now conducting the various

that the breweries will still main

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Shall
Uncle Sam help to build good roads
for the farmer?
President-elect Taft says he ia
vors selling bonds to pay for inter
nal improvements. If this policy
prevails good roads will be one
form such expenditures will take
The importance of good roads to
the farmer is suggested in the fol-
lowing considerations:
There are in the United States
2,150,000 miles of roads, of which
only 100000 miles are improved
roads. This is about per cent.
The average haul by the farmer
in getting his products to market is
nine miles. 1t costs 1.8 cents more
to haul bushel of wheat that nine
miles than it does to send that
same bushel of wheat 300 miles,
the distance from New York to
Liverpool. Or this wheat will go
half across our continent for less
than it costs to carry it this start
ing journey of nine miles.
A load of 600 pounds requires
two horses five hours to haul to
market on an unimproved road,
while load of 1900 pounds can be
hauled by one horse, in two hours,
the same distance on an improved
road.
figures collected by the depart
ment of agriculture covering the
crop year of 1905-1906 show that
the crops hauled from the places
where they originated to the ship
ping points, consisting Of barley,
corn, cotton, fiaxseed, hemp, hops,
oats, beans. rice, tobacco, wheat
and wool amounted to 85,4S7 ,0O0,-
900 pounds. This does not include
the products of the forest or mines,
nor the fruits, nor truck garden
produce.
An estimate made by the inter
state commerce commission places
the total amount Of products haul
ed at 250,000,000 pounds.
On the basis of these figures i'm
proved roads would result in a saw
ing annually of about $3O5, 900, 900.
