A great many reasons now pre-
sent themselves why the bridges
which were recently washed out
should be replaced in a more sub
stantial manner. While it is true
that the late storm was unusual,
and that it may not be repeated dur
ing our lifetime, it is also true that
the bridges which were washed out
were many Of them several years old
and were in number of cases in
such condition that new bridges
were necessary. This is particular
true of the bridges on the county
road between this city and the head
of the Bay. ard what is true OF
these bridges is true of many others
on the county road system. Bird
ges over streams should be con-
structed with solid stone Or concrete
abutments. Highway Commission
er Olson is busily engaged in max
ing temporary repairs where needed
In order that traffic may be resumed
on the roads. The bridges over all
Of the streams between here and
Ashland are out and work is being
rushed under the direction of the
committee on Roads and Bridges of
the County Board.
While of course it. is necessary to
get the roads into passaDle condi-
ton, it is also important that the
work should be done with a view to
permanency. The bridge question
is troublesome one and will always
remain so, but it is the opinion of
all roadmakers who have a practical
knowledge of good and bad roads,
and all authorities hose business it
is to keep in close touch with these
matt rs that nothing is worse for a
community than haphazard system
of building roads and bridges. 1t
has been suggested by many that
now is the opportune time to build
good bridges. Financially the coun-
ty can afford it, because it is cheap
er to adopt the right system than
the wrong one. AS one man ex-
pressed it: 1.-THE bridges that have
been destroyed should be replaced
by good durable ones, if the County
cannot afford it, bonds should be
issued and money raised by their
sale, to put iron bridges where
needed.

THE PROBLEM OF securing
competent far laborers is again
annoying the farmer. 1t recurs
every year and every year it is
becoming more serious, 1t is
as necessary these days to Sc
cure skilled laborers on the farm
as it is to have skilled laborers
in a factory or Office. Even in
this vicinity. farmers are COM
planning that it is impossible to
secure help. in fact it is serious
question to many how the hay
crop is to be harvested. All
kinds of laborers are scarce.

A Goth Century Sermon.

Don't hurry SO. There's time, my friend,
To get the work all done;
Before the world comes to its end,
Just take some time for fun.
What's all our living worth, unless
We've time enough for happinesss
Don't furry so. Just wait, keep cool!
Yours plans are. all upset.
All, we'll, the world whirls on by rule
And things will straighten yet.
Your furry and your fret and fuss
Just make things hard for all OF US.
DON'T worry So It's sad. of course,
But you and I and all
Must with the better take the worse,
And jump up when we fall
Oh, never mind what's going to be,
Today's enough for you and me!

And who shall deny this is the every too busy
and needs and heed Lest the rush
and whr daily workable real sweets and exceencies of life
overburdens Of anxieties and
which promise future success and happiness but
often lead instead to a far early tomb
"What's all our living worth, unless
We've time enough for happiness?"

Brownell Secures
Miss Marsden
Famous Old School is Now Under Di-
rection of Widely Experienced
Eastern Educator.

More than a year ago the trustees Of
Brownell Hall began casting about for a
new principal for the school when Miss
McRea announced she would leave at the
expiration Of her contract. The school
has a higher standard than almost any
other school in the middle west, its certifi-
cate admitting to Wellesley, Vassar, Smith,
etc, without examination. For a school OF
this class it Is difficult to find a person
whose ability will maintain the same high
standard and when that person is found It
is another matter to secure her services.
Miss Marsden, for the last seven years vice
principal Of st. Mary's Hall at Burlington,
n. j., was finally selected, and to the
delight of the faculty and trustees was
induced to come west and assume full
charge of Brownell Hall. The new prin-
cipal holds a degree from Trinity college,
Toronto, Canada, where she took very high
honors in the sciences, and with her wide
experience in the administration of the
foremost eastern colleges for young women
Is equipped to even raise the present high
standard Of Brownell Hall, II it is possible
for any school to attain a loftier position
than this institution now enjoys in the
educational world.

Is cents per ton: coke and composition
used for fuel at 20 per cent ad valorem.
A drawback equal to the duty is allowed
vessels in the foreign trade.
This scale. Mr.. Aldrich explained. was
a reduction OF cents a ton on coal under
the house rate. The amendment, he said,
also left out the house reciprocity pro-
vision. lie did not believe, however, that
the house would remove it's duty on coal,

the coal duty bore upon the different Sec
tons of the country, he said to remove
the duty would injure the Wyoming and
West Virginia interests.
The democratic party" he said, has
always been In favor Of a duty on coal"
He did not agree that free coal would
benefit New England, as was popularity
supposed, because the mills of that sec
ton demand the better and more ex-
pensive coal of West Virginia. II the
reciprocity provision were enacted and
went into effect, he said, the coal con-
sumers Of West Virginia, western Penn
sylvania, Ohio and in some parts of In
diana would be greatly benefited. On the
other hand, the coal deposits of Wyoming
and Utah would not be developed under
free coal.
Lower Duty Defeated.
Senator McCumber, declaring that he was
in favor of free coal, offered an amend
ment reducing the rate Of duty reported
by the committee on finance to 40 cents
a ton. The amendment was voted down,

ment was accepted without change and
