BRYAN WON'T RETIRE.

WASHINGTON. J an. 26.-William
j. Bryan served notice to-day on
those Democrats who think it is
his duty to retire from the race
Tor the Presidential nomination in
the interest of harmony that he
intends to remain in the race.
He first told ex-senator ZONES, of
Arkansas so, and he repeated the
declaration to Senator Newlands
of Nevada: Representative Ollie
Jones, Of Kentucky, and other.
Friends of the Nebraskan laugh
ed tonight over the clever man.
ner in which he brought matters to
a head. As soon as he arrived last
night he was informed of the
presence in WASHINGTON of Blue
eyed Billy" Sheehan, ex-senator
Jim Smith, of New Jersey. Thos.
Z. Ryan and Col. George Harvey
OF New York. He learned of a
conference of these men held at
Kyans home on I street FRIDAY
night and of the report that Har-
veY had agreed TO see Sanator
Jones, who managed the Demo
cratic campaign of 1896 ard 1000.
and request him to 60 to BRYAN
as a dlsinterested friend and notify
him that he was about to disrupt
the party by again being a candi-
date.
Mr. Bryan had agreed to preach
in three Washington churches to-
day, SO he arose early. Several
Callers were waiting for him
when he came from brea kfast. and
Mr.. Jones was one of them. Mr..
Bryan greeted him pleasantlya nd
asked him TO accompany him to
his room. There a table was
shown to Mr.. Jones which con-
aimed dozens of telegrame and
etterS.
Those" said Mr.. Bryan, are
rom men who supported me
oyally in 1896 and 1900. All of
If them beseecA me to remain in

CAPT. F. Il. HAYNES ef. eesyis

list. and while here interestingly
discussed farming and its posi-
biiities in Mathews. Capt. Hay
mes says that on his Hess farm of
-J2s acres he sold last year for
S2,S47. while his expenses were
less than ST 900 or clean profit
Of nearly $I.o 0.
This shows the possibilities of
farming in our section, and should
encourage cur people II devote
more attention to our lands.
What other business in our conn
ty will pay anything like this
profit with so little of the dis
agreeable connected with it.
Farming is clean business and
independent. and when remuner-
ative is perhaps the most salts
factory life TO be led, for what
can be mere conducive to pleas
IRE than the realization that you
have made two blades of grass
gEow- where Que grew before.
Capt. Haynes experience may
not be the ordinary one in Math-
evs. but it should be and our
people Will in the future have to
give more attention to farming if
they would keep up even their
pre- sent state of prosperity.

GBITURRY.
Mrs. MARY L. JARVIS.

MIS-. M IAN L. JAIN 10
After an illness of about five
weeks, Mrs. Mary L. Jarvis. wife
of Mr.. Alex Jarvis, of Bohannon.
passed away on the morning of
Jan. IA, about eleven o'clock.
Sac was a devoted wife and
m other, kind and loving neigh
Dor. She has eone we all hope
to r APP her reward for her many
deeds of kindness here.
She leaves besides a husband
to mourn her loss a father, one
sister, ten children. one grand
child and a host of friends. Her
funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Williams at her home
on Wednesday.
The angels came and took her home
To that bright land above,
Where death and parting never come,
There all is JOY and love.
No sorrow there will cloud her brow,
No pain to cause frown;
bright, sweet smile ison her face,
And on her head a crown.
But oh! her place is vacant here,
And never can be filled.
We long to hear her loving voice,
That now to us is Stilled. =
But we will meet her by and by,
If we pr.ve faithful and true,
Where Gods own hand, in that blest
land,
Will wipe away our tears.
A Friend.

The MAINTENANCE OF EARTH
ROADS.

We may recognize the value OF
hari an durable roads in all arts
of the country. bui still the fact
remains that for a long time to
come the majority of the roads
will be composed of earth. Fur
thermore, in about nine months
out # the year, the earth road, if
properly cared for, is reasonably
satisfactory. For many agricul-
tural districts, t IS the only road
at present available. Hence,
these communities should set
themselves seriously to work to
learn the bsst methods If main
tanning earth roads and of getting
the maximum service from them.
Pros erity comes 10 the country

prosperity of the farmers. This
tact strongly suggests the impor-
lance Of giving the earth road

HN@1 from the rOou. IL must DE
remembered. however. that sandy
and gravellv roads require moist
ire. and IN these cases some
shade should be retained. Fur
thermore. trees are beneficial
along river banks and on steep
grades subject to washing. Drain
age is one of the most impor-
tant points 90 be consider in con-
nection with an earth road. The
majority of earth roads in all
mountainous and hilly districts
have too much drainage. Oc-
casionaliy a road will be found
with five bitches three in the mid
die made BY horses hoofs and by
wheels of the vehicles. and two
on the sides. All well-construct-
ed earth roads are supposed to
have no more than two bitches,
one on each side of the travelled
roadway. Keep the water out of
the middle of the road by giving
IT 4 crown or elevation in the CEN
ter of IL inches above the top of
the inner slope of the ditch for a
2o-foot road, and where the hills
are little steep make the crown
I 10 inches. With a crown of
about inch to the foot from the
center to the sides, the bitches
which are often built across the
road on steep grades to defect
the water will not be needed.
Instead of carrying water across
the road in ocen bitches, tile
or concrete drains should, If pos
sible, be provided. They should
have sufficient capacity and fall
to carry the maximum amount
OF water that is expected to flow
through them at any one time.
The capacity is increased in pre-
portion to the tall or grade; for
instance, I2-inch pipe laid on a
one per cent grade will carry
800 gallons per minute. Fur
thcrmore, a culvert laid fiat will
soon fill up, while one having a
good incline will keep itself clear.
In the maintenance of an earth
road. avoid the mistake Of chang
ing the natural order of things.
Naturally the soil is found on top
and the clay on the bottom. III
& IRIS order is reversed in con-
lstruCtng road. the result will be
less satisfactory than if the soil
be left at the top Of the road, for
soil makes a better surface to a
road than clay. If the road. bed
is largely clay to start with. it will
be well to place sandy soil or
clean sand on top. A covering
OF 9 to 10 inches of sand upon
clay thar persists in breaking up
into deep mudhOles will usually
be satisfactory and if sand enough
be added, this clay will cease to
make mnd. If the roadbed is
comnosed of sand it can be inn
proved by an application of clay
The rule for a serviceable earth
road, than, is as follows: make
bitches on each side and keep
them open; haul gravel and sand
upon sections needing this treat
ment; use a road machine and
split log drag iudiciously Ca full
description of which will be con-
talnedIn later article); follow
the stitch in time" rule and give
an earth road the same careful
persistent attention you would
give your prize acre, factory or
store, and it will pay as large a
profit in proportion to your in
dividual outlay.

BOURNE TO
BE ACTIVE
WITH TAFT

PORTLAND, Nov. 7.-Senator JON
athan Bourne has gone to Hot Springs
to play golf with President Elect Taft
The series of games which Taft
and Bourne We're playing some time
ago were interrupted by the campaign,
but when Taft and the senator ap-
peared it was agreed between them
that they should meet again at Hot
Springs, November 10 and continue
the amusement.
Senator Bourne left for Hot Springs
yesterday, and will not return to Port
land until after congress adjourns. He
will spend about two weeks at the re-
sort and will then go on to Washing
ton.
Their mutual fOndnesS for the gut
tapercha ball is a bond of common in
tereSt between Bourne and the presi-
dent-elect which makes it probable
that the Oregon senator will rank even
higher in the COunSeS of the next ad-
ministratiOn than he has in those of
ROOsevelt'S regimei as he was never a
member of the tennis cabinet; and in
the new golf cabinet he should surely
rank high.

for $2S and another for $50. To each
of these he affixed a signature claimed
to be genuine, but upon InvesIiSauon
at the bank declared to be forgery

completion already, and they are ail
made of burned clay in the form of
hollow blocks. The roofs are of Ell :

Nowhere else in the country, Il is

methods of construction within the last
few years.

claim, with the goods on them. is the
fate of two brothers, Ed and Henry

The two boys, the oldest Of which is
but 26 years, are now in the custody
