routes most feasible and practicable"
said Mr.. HILL 1--WE provide system
of roads which we believe will be in
valuable and of great Importance in
the development Of the state.
zone of the most significant features
of our whole scheme is that we pro.
pose to build these roads without any
increase of taxation. However, the
construction of the roads will mean
the employment of very much great
err amount of free labor than under
present conditions.
'The two statements may seem par
adoxical, but they are not. The secret
of the whole situation is that we pro-
pose to get our rock at cost. The
money saved in obtaining material will
be available for employing labor, so
that more men can be employed and
more road built at the same cost than
at present.
1--WE figure that by using one convict
in rock quarry we are giving work
to four other men. The four men are
required to handle the rock in the
various phases it passes through from
the time it leaves the quarry until 1t
is finally worked into the road. With
the establishment of convict quarries
in various parts of the state, it should
also be possible to send all the less
serious offenders direct from the court
room to the nearet convict quarry and
thus save the state a considerable
amount in transportation expenses to
Walla Walla."

built by the extension eastward and
westward of what Is now known as the
Snoqualmie Pass road, or state road
No. Z. The summit elevation Of this
road in the Cascades is 1866 feet and
the maximum grade in it's route across
the mountains is 5 per cent It's west
ward terminus is now North Bend. 1t
will be extended westward to Renton
and thence to Seattle, branch also
leading off from Renton to Tacoma.
From it's eastern terminus at East
on it will lead to Wenatchee and
thence through Waterville, Coulee
City, Wilbur and Davenport to Spo-
line. This road passes through coun-
ties paying so per cent of the state
taxes.
The next road to the south will cross
the Cascades at Cow1itz Pass. The
road is known as state road No. 5.
Westward it will run to Chehalis and
thence to South Bend. From Chehalis
will be built a branch road to Mon
tesano to connect with the state road
leading westward to Hoquiam and
northward from there to Quiniault
Lake. More than 100000 is being
spent this year on the portions of the
road in the vicinity of Montesano and
Quiniault Lake.
The road will emerge from the Cow
litz Pass through North Yakima and
will then run eastward through the
section irrigated by the Hanford Irri-
cation Company along the northern
part of Yakima and Franklin Coun-
ties and the southern part of Whit
man County to Pullman.
Vancouver will be the western ter
minus of the most southern road A
section of this road known as the
Columbia River road has already been
built from Washougal, in Clarke Coun-
ty, to Goldendale, in Klickitat County.
From Goldendale it will run easterly
through the Horse Heaven country to
Wallula, and from there to Walla Wal
la.
The three transmountain roads will
be connected just east of the Cascades
by a road running north and south
from Teanaway, on the Snoqualmie
Pass road, to Ellensburg and North
Yakima, on the Cowlitz Pass road, and
thence along the Yakima river through
Prosser into Wallula

GOOD ROADS IN FRANCE.

From Consul General Skinner of
Marseilles comes recent report of
the French roadway system. He says
the French roads are generally recog-
nized as the best and most complete
in the world. The highways of France
are good, not because of any superior
ity of raw materials, not because of
any special talent for road building,
but because of the constant, intelli-
gent supervision of the department
having charge of them. France has
316,898 miles of local highways, built
at cost of $3OS,SO0,OO0, of which the
state furnished $S1 100000 and the in
terested localities $227,740,000.
In addition to these local highways,
the national system consists of 1855
miles of national roads, which cost the
nation $303,975,000 to build. The ma
tional routes traverse the entire coun-
try and connect the important CEN
ters. The superiority of these roads
over those constructed or maintained
by the local authorities is very mark
ed, but even the local roads are kept
in good condition, so that the stand
ard French road is one upon which
in rolling country draft horse haul
ing road of $500 pounds is expected
to travel about twenty miles per day.
This fact alone will serve to indicate
the difference between the roads in
France and those of the United
States, where the load hauled by one
horse over the average level country
road is only 1,400 pounds, and on
roads with per cent grades only 1000
pounds.

Accident Occurred Sunday Morning At
Gallus' Pond. Near Alachua.
wAs YoUNo MAN o. TwENrY

In Bathing With Party Of Friends,
and Being Unable to Swim. Was
Paying Around in Boat Which Was
capsixsd.
From Tuesdays Daily Sun:
Young, Hale Sessions OF Alachua
was drowned Sunday morning while
in bathing with party OF friends
at Gallus' Pond. Just few miles
north Of Alaehua station.
The young men OF that section
use this place as bathing pool and
large numbers OF them usually con-
gresate there every Sunday for the
purpose OF taking their usual swim.
and it was early in the day when the
life OF this young man was lost. The
boat in which he had gone out to
where the water was deep was capslz-
ed and ne was unable to reach the
shore.
One OF the party succeeded in
swimming quite a distance with him,
but gave out before land was reach
ed, and had to let go OF the un.
fortunate man in order to save his
own life. II being with the greatest
effort that he managed to reach the
banks.
The pond in question Is one OF a
chain Of many sinks in that part OF
the county, and anyone not being
able TO swim is always compelled
to remain close In and can only
venture out with boat or something
suitable TO hold them up. Il was
while young Sessions was far out
that the boat was overturned and he
was thrown In the water.
News OF the accident was soon
spread around the country and parties
began the search for the body. but
II was late in the afternoon before
the searchers we're rewarded by find.

A Veteran of Land and Sea.

Thomas K. MCCARTHY died at the
Soldiers Home last Friday. He had
not been in good health for years,
although he was able to be around all
the time. He died very suddenly.
His brother, John, came down from
Hermosa Thursday evening and was
present when death came. The re-
mains were taken to Hermosa for
burial. In speaking of the death of
this kind hearted old veteran Col.
Thornhy told the Pioueer-Times the
following interesting facts concerning
the deceased:
The deceased was one of the Black
Hills pioneers of 1876 and early in the
excitement made a stake which was
sufficient to provide him with ranch
to which he devoted his time up to a
few years ago.
He was one of the original locators
of the Rattler mine which was situated
on the south side of Gold Run near
where the Ellison hoist now stands
and is now part of the Homestake
property. In 1879 Thomas Mccarthy
moved to Hermosa, where he and his
brother, John, operated a ranch for
many years. The latter still resides
there while Thomas moved to Leaven.
worth, Kas., six or seven years ago and
about four years ago returned and
entered the soldiers home at Hot
Springs.
At the time of his death, Thomas
Mccarthy was seventy-th years of
age and had had an eventful career
When boy of about II, he enlisted at
Brooklyn, N. Y, in the navy and went
into the service under Commodore
Perry. He was with that famous
} navigator for four years and became
} one of his most trusted and capable
men. He was on Perry's ship when
} the latter entered the bay of Uarga, in
Japan, in 1858 and was present when
the first treaty with Japan was made
He was great recountenr and had
many interesting stories of his advent.

Stockers and Feeders.

Altho the demand from the country
has been very good thus far this week,
and many cattle have been shipped
out, the accumulation today was large
enough to give traders in the yards a
chance to bear the market. Most of
the supply that arrived today sold 10c
lower than early in the week, more out
of sympathy with the decline in fat
scattle than because the demand was
not sufficient. Spectators wanted to
get the fresh receipts on lower basis.
feeling that the circumstances justified
it. Yesterday and today the demand
from the country was pretty strong,
and the "boys" did not have a very big
crop of stuff on hand, but quite enough
to satisfy the outlet. AS usual most
of the inquiry was for good to choice
heavy cattle, which could be made fat
without too much feed. Lightweight
stuff was neglected unless it was good
in quality. 1t is quality that buyers
want, more than anything else, at the
present time While the strong weights
are preferred, it is quality that de-
termines the price. Good feeders sold
today at s4.25M465, with the medium
at s3.s5@425, and the bulk Of the
stocker class went at s340@S.75.
