]. A. Roundtree, secretary-treasurer
of the Alabama Goods Roads associa
ton, writes under date, Birmingham,
Ala, July /, 1909:
Honor to Pioneer.
81 have read with great deal Of
interest the splendid work that you
have done in developing good roads in
the state of Washington, also of the
splendid work that you accomplished
in establishing the Highway Chair in
the state university. Your great work
for good roads is a monument to you
and the future generations will give
you the honors that are due you.
From what we can learn you are
entitled to the honor of being the
Father of Good Roads in your state
If you never accomplish anything
more, your work in establishing the
Highway Chair as well as advocating
and establishing good roads in your
state entities you to monuments
1t was through my personal work
at the state legislature that law was
enacted giving the federal government
the right to construct irrigation works
in this state; and that was accom-
plished in the face of the strongest
kind of a lobby that opposed me day
and night, week after week.

Eccles, Winnipeg, was the way he
signed his name.


But listen, can't you hear him send
ing over the wire, "Ohio has struck a
rock -. . steamer sinking
send help or everybody will be lost"
Responding vessels asked for the
latitude of the distressed ship and
Eccles replied without a moments
hesitancy. Can you picture in your
minds eye the awful fear that wrung
peoples hearts during the next few
minutes while boats were lowered and
set adrift? Have you ever witnessed
the excitement that prevails when
lives are in danger without an appar-
ent hope of escape. Have you ever
seen excitement turned into madness
and frenzy, the two elements upper
most in the uncomfortable mob? Re-
call the burning of the Iroquois the
atre in Chicago.
Yet George Eccles never turned his
face from duty. Finally the last
passenger was taken from the deck
Water filled the hold of the great ship
and captain and crew were making
ready to put off. Again over the wire,
George Eccles is speaking: "Passen-
gers are all adrift in small boats
Captain and crew are going off in the
last boat They are . waiting
waiting for me
That's all. A hungry sea reached
up and drew the PROSTATE ship into
her hungry NAV, and the papers said
next day, Numbered among the lost
was George e. Eccles, wireless ope-
rator."
No, we never had the honor of
knowing this great man. We do not
know his history or anything of his
past. Perhaps they partake of the
commonplace and perhaps the clay
that enveloped the spirit of his soul,
the fearlessness, the answering 10y
atty to his duty, were not those of one
who might have been recognized for
his real worth from first impressions.
But hear him sending the last
message, Passengers are adrift, cap
tain and crew are waiting
waiting for me :"
Excitement did not move him. fear
did not move him, can you see him
look death straight in the eye and say
cheerfully, "They are waiting +.

No, you cannot do it unless you
have been faithful, loyal to your duty,
unless you have faced every crisis
like a man and played ION the
square" There was no yellow streak

LEIGH X. FREEMAN FOR
UNITED STATES SENAOR

Washington is not without senatorial
candidates in the coming contest for
the seat of Senator Piles. The latest
aspirant is a well known citizen of
akima. a pioneer, Leigh Richmond
Freeman, publisher of the Northwest
Farm and Home. Mr.. Freeman at one
time ran for senator as the Red
Horse Candidate" He thinks that the
time is now ripe for the elimination of
his ambitions and has SHE'D his castor
into the political arena.
The next issue of his paper will
contain the announcement of his cam
lidacy He points to his record as an
exponent of the good roads movement,
to his career in the capacity as vet
Gran publisher and to all of the uplift
movements with which he has been
associated as proof that he is indeed
the peoples candidate in the truest
sense of the word. His announcement
speaks for itself and it is herewith
presented in full:

For many years the citizens of tie
state have been urging the under
signed to stand for the United States
senatorship, and now they are more
emphatic than ever before, that the
best man for the position is the editor

They insist that under the primary
law there will be many aspirants for
the position and that the man possess
ing the greatest degree of talent and
integrity is certain to be the victor.
Under these circumstances, l have

ness and devote my services to the
best interests of the people of the state
and the nation.
