USE ROMAN ROADS

course the Romans arranged many
centuries before.
But if one perseveres and follows
that lane to about six miles east of
Rugby it turns into a road of sorts
again, and then, once more a re-
spectacle thoroughfare, it becomes a
highway between Hinckley and Nun
eaton towns, leaves Tamworth on it's
right, and after once more almost
losing itself near Lichf1eld blazons
wide again over Cannock Chase and
finishes up as one of the finest roads
in the kingdom all the way to the
pious city of Shrewsbury.
1T is easy to understand why it's
glory departed-before the advent of
motors-at Weldon. From Towcester
to Shrewsbury there is hardly a town
or village of Importance on it's route,
while the Birmingham road is herring
boned with populous towns. And so
as there was no use in running empty
coaches along deserted roads they
went the other way, and as distances
were too great for local traffic to keep
it going as highway, it fell into dis
repair, and served only as place for
glorious gallop over the grass.
There are plenty of other Roman
roads, used in places and then dying
away into lanes and paths and even
private drives.
Il do not pretend that every Roman
road leads from where one is to where
one wants to go, but, beginning with
Waiting Street, and going on with the
great 'Fosse Way and the Pilgrims
road, new avenues for speed without
disaster could be opened, the narrow
suburbs of provincial towns could be
freed greatly from through motor
traffic, new districts could be toured,
and, in the remaking of these arteries,
the unemployed could be far more
usefully employed than in planting
cabbages and selling picture postcards
OF their sleeping quarters. Most mo-
torists would not grumble at a revival
of the old turnpike system on these
roads if certain privileges as to free
dom from ridiculous police traps and
such like absurdities as are practiced
on them were given: but for nonmotor-
lists the chief advantage gained would
be In the availableness once more of the
ordinary roads for the purpose they
have been used for during the past
century of providing playground for
children, which latter reason is, of
course, writ sarkastick.'"

SHYOKAPI PHOTOED

Harrison" says Sir Ray Lancaster.
They at once and invariably. in re-
ply to the question Mini (What is
this?) say. 'Okapi.' On the other
hand, the natives of the larger race
in the Ituri misunderstanding to
Major Powell-C Cotton-call this animal
'Kanghi.' The natives about Bambil1
(Evelle river), who are not of the
Pygmy race, call it 1ndumba, &C.
cording to Lieutenant Boyd Alexan-
der. The word Ute or 'Bute,' said.
to be applied by some of the Pygm1es
on the spot to the Ituri okapi, means
merely meat or flesh-and is used
for okapi flesh or any other meat.
Zone remarkable illusion with re-
gard to the okapi exists among those
who are curious about natural history

to sacred mystery, they say to me,
as we look at the stuffed skins in the
museum, I suppose there is no doubt
that it is hybrid; cross between a
zebra and antelope-or did you say
giraffe?' 1t is in vain that l have put
up special label warning the obser-
want against this popular but tena-
cious error. Only few weeks ago
an eminent person insisted to me
that he was right in holding the okapi
to be lusus naturae-a hybrid.
Why, there is no room for doubt
about it, he said. You can see the
zebra coming out in the stripes on
his legs, and yet he has the head and
hoofs of an antelope AS matter of
fact, no hybrids are known to occur
at all among terrestrial animals in a
state of nature"

CARLSON Mill
DOES fine WORK
INITIAL RUN AT GOLDEN ARROW
SHOWS GREAT SAVING IN
VALUES.

G. F. Plyer of San Jose, California,
president of the Carlson Mining and
Milling company of Golden Arrow,
came in from that district yesterday
and reports great deal of activity
there. The Carlson mill has been
completed and has just finished it's
initial run, which was marked sue
cess. The run was made on horn
silver ore and the prediction made
that the mill would be unable to
save any of the values was disproved
when an assay of the tailings taken
showed that values to the extent of
IA cents to the ton had been lost.
This is considered remarkable as the
ore only went from $40 to $12 ton
The mill is ten-stamp one with con-
centrators and while only one shift is
working at present the success of the
first run will undoubtedly cause ar
extra shift to soon be added.
Mr.. Plyler leaves this morning fol
short business trip to San Fran
cisco, from whence he will return il
about ten days.

REFUSES TO MOVE
REGISTRY OFFICE
JUDGE BRIsSELL GAVE REASONS
TO COMMISSIONERS WHY HE
WOULD NOT OBEY.

The county commissioners yester-
day sent an order to Judge Brissell
that he move his registration Office
down from the present site to some
place on the main thoroughfare or if
he failed to do this to hand in his
resignation. When the order was
handed the judge he nearly suffered
a stroke of apoplexy and his reply
to the honorable board was more
forcible than eloquent. He. stated
the reasons for keeping the Office in
the justice court were that at that
place he could give his undivided at
tention to the registration and could
register people at all hours, some
thing he could not do If the office
was moved and that the move would
require the hiring of a deputy ant
this was something he wished tx
avoid as he could keep the register
in better shape by handling it indi
vidually.
And in the meantime the Office will
continue to be in the justice court
where the Judge can be found at al
hours of the day and night, ready t
accommodate those who can not cal
during the daylight hours.
