GOOD ROADS NECESSARY
senator Pettigrcw SAYS Idaho Has
Finest Soil and Climate But
Poor Transportation

Declaring that the transportation
problem Is one of the most important
and momentous for the people of the
state OF Idaho, as well as for Boise to
deal with, United States Senator r,
If. Pettigrew of South Dakota made a
very interesting talk yesterday noon
70 the business men of this city at
the MONDAY lunch at the Commercial
club, and spoke at length of his OBJ
seryations and what should be done
by the club IN solving the problem.
Senator Pettigrew pointed out the
fact that Boise and vicinity has the
finest soil in the country, has climate
that could not be equalled anywhere
but lacked the third essential for a
prosperous community, namely, the
easy means of communication. He
stated that the club should take this
matter up at once and see that local
roads be built diagonally across the
country and thereby get into closer
communication with the territory
tributary to this city.
Conditions in South Dakota
He spoke of the conditions in his
nome state and what had been done
IN the way OF improving the roads
me advantages of this state were
dwelt upon at some length by the
speaker and he declared that nowhere
was there country richer in possible
tiles than southern Idaho.
Among other things Senator Petit
grew urged the establishment Of az
perimental farms of 40 acres in every
county OF the state. If this was done

WOMEN AND CHILDREN BRAv
EST IN EARTHQUAKE.

Women, particularly mothers, and
children made much better showing
than men during the great catastro-
phe that laid waste the garden Of
Italy.
The mothers seemed TO have nc
thought but the safety OF their chill
dren. Hundreds Of women, nay thou
sands, were crushed to death shield
ing their. children's bodies with their
own. In great many cases the lit
tie ones survived, living witnesses Of
their parents bravery and unequal
ed generosity These mothers re-
ceived on their own backs, their heads
and shoulders the pieces OF masonry
andbeams about to kill those they
loved best in the world. And, dying,
they had the happiness Of clasping
them to their bosom.
AT last rations were distributed-a
piece Of bread no larger than the
palm Of ones hand for each starving
adult Then we saw mothers Of ba-
bies chewing their own portion and
stuff it in the mouths Of babies for
nourishment without retaining a sim
gle crumb for themselves.
A seyenteen-year-old girl, who had
been imprisoned in the ruins for ten
hours, worked heroically on an empty
stomach and with parched throat
until she had succeeded in rescuing
her family, eight persons.
Little children withstood sleeplcss-
ness, hunger, thirst, pain and the un-
usual cold far better than grownups,
showing, as a rule, more endurance
throughout the ordeal than their eld-
ers.
This was probably due to the ply
siological nonsensitiveness OF chill
dren and because they did not under
stand the dangers surrounding and
yet in store for them. If those weak
children, a great many Of them un-
derfed since birth, had had the small

ATHLETICS IN ASTORIA.

The younger set Of Astoria is going
in for genuine athletics this year in
commendable fashion and it is an ex-
cellent thing in more ways than one.
Chief among its advantages is the
fact that it gives the boy and young
man something to tie to for amuse-
ment and recreation and interest be-
side the questionable lures OF cards
and cigarettes and alround loafng.
The ordinary clean-minded boy does
not take naturally to these latter in
dulgences, and turns to them only in
default Of something better. The
athletic lineup affords him the bet
ter and wholesomer alternative, and
he is making splendid use of it.
The new organizations, the Astoria
Amateur Athletic Association, the
First Company Coast Artillery Corps,
the Motor Boating Association, all
have very distinct and admirable
tendencies to the up-lift that is de-
sired and each and all Of them have
the entire good will Of the commun-
ity for permanence and progress, as
do all the school clubs that stand for
physical and social development. 1t
is the duty Of the elders, irrespective

THE CLIFTON MURDERER.

Sheriff M. R. Pomer.oy gave direc-
tions that none OF the details obtained
by the officers who went to Clifton to
attend to their part in the fearful
murder there on Friday night last,
were to be given to the press; as a
consequence IS hours OF precious time
have been wasted and the dissemina-
tion Of the accurate and startling de-
scription Of the murderer. has been
kept from the public Of the territory
through which the miserable fugitive
is making his fight to safety and
temporary oblivion.
The fend is plain and palpable
mark for the most casual detection;
he is a Greek, foreigner speaking
excellent English; Of stocky build,
low, thick-set, alert and strong:
with a peculiarly red face, accentu-
ated by gray moustache. This de-
scription alone would make him
distinct personally in any crowd, any
where, or alone on a remote highway
or in the depths of wood; and it
should have been placed before the
eye OF every citizen in the river
country, especially in the Nehalem,
whittier it is said he is heading. The
sheriff has blundered again. The
murderer will probably escape; or if
captured through the clatsop shriev-
atty, it viii be done by one of the ca
pable deputies working on his own in
itiative.
We have no desire to invade the
plans or processes BY which the
sherifPs Office attains to any of its
ends in the pursuit Of criminals; but
in this case it was his duty TO make
public every scintilla Of advice and
data by which the citizens of the out.
lying district could have detected the
scoundrel and apprised the law Off
GERS or taken the matter in their
own hands and effected his capture.
He chose to forbid the information
which would gladly have been put
forth, so far as our routes extend,
and they extend quite far enough to
have been serviceable in this instance.

The WEATHER.
Oregon. Washington and Idaho :
Occasional rain.
COMPULSORY WIRELESS.

The idea Of compelling all ocean
going steamers, carrying notable
numbers Of passengers, to outfit with
wireless telegraphy, is one Of the
real sensible things that has arisen in
Congress this session. The whole
country knows that the awful coils
ion between the steamships Republic
and Florida on the Atlantic a couple
Of weeks ago, is at the bottom Of the
movement. and no better plea could
have been supplied or used; it was, at
once, the best practical demonstration
Of the extraordinary utility Of the
system. Of record to date, and les
son in safety and relief that could
not be overlooked by the people at
large. BY the Congress nor by the
steamship companies.
We hope the measure win pass,
with ample and rigid provisions; that
the day will soon be here when every
passenger that boards a sea-going
vessel will know that he has this
wonderful expedient at hand in any
and every event of danger and trouble
on the main. 1t is not only ques-
ton Of saving human life and prop
erty, but minimizes the actual loss Of
the navigation companies at every
turn and enhances their records Of
security and comfort, making them
more popular withal.
We have two steamships from this
port, doing a good coastwise busi-
mes. that are equipped with wireless,
but who. dispense with it and the
services Of an operator, because Of
the expense. A poor and unbusiness-
like proposition, which lacks but a
single disaster to prove its barren
ness and stupidity: and such a law
as is now talked of would solve at
once and for all time all such ques-
tions Of cheap economy. The dam
ages likely to be awarded for the
loss Of single human life, would pay
for dozen installations Of this effec-
tive agency; but the transportation
companies will take this risk thou
sand times over rather than volun-
tarily put in the device until they
have to; the sooner it is made an i'm
perative provision Of high-sea traffic,
the better for the travelling publ.
and the concerns that carry them.
