The California oil Is best for the pur-

GOOD ROADS IN SWEDEN.

Every Landowner Must Keep His Sec.
ton Of Highways improved.
G. Zergkirst of Climax Springs, Mo-,
who is especially Interested in the
Kansas City Stars fight for good
roads. says: Perhaps 1t would be of
interest to know how the roads In
Sweden are maintained. There are
three classes of roads there-highways,
village roads and private roads. The
highways run between county seats,
and the grades are limited to ~ per
cent. The village roads cannot be In
excess of a A per cent grade. The cost
of building is divided among the land
owners according to acreage. whether
1t is government land OF is owned by
private citizens, except where n own
er has an extremely costly road to
build along his land. In that case he
gets due allowance in distance for the
cost Of construction. No village road
can be opened until 1t is built to the
proper grade.
"As TO maintenance, every landown-
er must keep his section Of the road
properly improved. II he does not q
government Inspector orders the I'm

the landowner fails to pay the cost the

Every man must maintain his own

government law in Sweden also is that

quake of Thursday does not appear SO

the present time 1t is known that
twenty-six persons lost their lives.
Twenty-three bodies have been recov-

more than $50 houses were denol-
ished. Eighty persons were injured
at this village, three at Ponhloti and
ten at Analaiva. The quakes caused
property damage at other points, but
did no serious injury to persons.
There were further earthquake
shocks in the province of Ellis Satur-
day. Two people were killed and
fifty others injured at the village of
Upousisti, where molten lava is flow

CONFEREES DISPOSE
OF WOOL SCHEDULE
Reductions Are Made in Only
Three Instances.

Washington, July 19.-The confer
ees on the tariff bill have agreed to
reduction of per cent in the Ding
ley rate on womens and childrens
dress goods made of cotton warp.
When the conference adjourned for
luncheon three changes In the wool
schedule had been agreed upon. All
of these reductions, the lower duty on
women's and children's dress goods,
were made on woolen fabrics weigh
ing four ounces or over to the square
yard and woven into cotton warp. A
reduction of per cent was also made
In the duty on yarns valued at 80
cents pound or less.
The duty on tops, which was finally
decided upon, was made In accord
ance with the reduced duty on yarns
and is In proportion to the difference
In cost of manufacture between
secured wool and spun yarns. BY
adopting these three changes the con.
ference committee has disposed OF the
entire wool schedule. the other duties
agreed upon being the same rs those
Of the existing law.
