COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Prepare for Building Court House at
Montesano-Saloon License at
Summit Refused.

MONTESANO, June 23.-At the
meeting of the county commissioners
yesterday, it was demonstrated that
they intend building new court
house here, whether a. sub establish
ment is built in the Second judi
cial district or not.
The matter of site for the Mon
tesano building was considered in a
way that left no doubt as to the In
tention of the board to build.
Whether to move the present build
ing and build on this desirable site,
or to select a new location was dis
cussed, and the matter was referred
to Commissioner Arland, to report at
the next meeting.
The application of Fred. Won Barg-
en-, for a renewal of his saloon IT,
cense at Summit was refused, and
the announcement made that no sa.
loon licenses would be issued for that
place.
M. J. Doyle, Of Westport, was ap-
pointment county wreckmaster.
In an ironical mood, the board ap.
pointed bunch of newspaper men
as delegates to the National Irriga-
ton congress, which meets at Spo.
kane. August Ola, as follows:
j. J. Carney, Aberdeen; A. G.
Girard, Hoquiam; Charley Cant, Mo.
clips; E. c. Kibbe, Elma; Thomas
Harlan, Oakville.
The Harry Howanut and Arthur
Marindale roads were declared estab.
lished.
The auditor was ordered to adver.
tise for bids, for the third time, fol
building bridge over North river
on the line between Chehalis ani
Pacific counties. On the two form
err occasions, the bids were rejected
because Pacific county failed to &C
cept responsibility for half the cost
and the present action is taken tt
mean that a satisfactory arrangement
has been had.

Best Of Satisfaction.
Samuel s. Jones Of Clinton, Wis.
furnished the following details of con
struction of an experimental road built
for educational purposes under the di
rection OF the office Of public roads,
with George l.. Cooley In charge:
This road was constructed in the
town Of Clinton. Rock county, Wis.,.
one mile east Of the village Of Clinton
In the construction Of this road all
the machinery was furnished by the
government at no expense to the town.
The town. Oh it's part. furnished all the
labor and material.
This road commenced ut the top Of
clay hill and extended down the
side to and across black muck
slough. Thus we had the advantage
Of observing the construction OF and
finishing under the different soil con.
ditions. The road was first graded to
width Of thirty six feet from gutter
to gutter. The trench for receiving
the crushed rock OF which the road
was constructed was twelve feet wide
This trench was shouldered evenly at
the edges. The bed Of the trench Or
roadbed was brought to u perfect
grade. having crown OF three-fourths
inch to the foot from the center OF
crown to the side shoulders.
"When the roadbed was in proper
shape for the superstructure cross
drains were put In at intervals of 100
feet. These drains. which were from
eight to ten inches deep and one foot
wide, were filled with coarse crushed
stone and extended to the outside gut
ter, thereby insuring perfect drainage
for the road when finished.
'"The superstructure was built Of
limestone. the first layer being crush
ed to size which would pass through
a three inch ring, This layer was then
rolled thoroughly and covered with u
finer grade of stone and again rolled
This method of placing on layers and
rolling was continued until fourteen

inches Of the loose material had been
rolled to Il solid bed eight inches thick.
During the rolling process water was
sprinkled on the different layers Of
stone to help cement the stone togeth-
CIR and thereby make perfect surface
for traffic. When the road was com
pleted as far as the coarser stone and
rolling were concerned layer Of sift-
ings from the crusher was spread
evenly over the surface of the road
and alternately rolled and sprinkled
until no more could be worked into the
roadbed either by sprinkling or rolling.
The surface Of the road reached that
point Of perfection In building where
neither siftings nor water could be
forced into 1t. The finishing Of the

conditions. our shortest haul for stone
being four miles. Labor cost from s.
to 81 per day. team and man from S.

we could procure but half enough
teams to keep the machinery running.

Upon which the highwayman gave

Japan's Good Roads.

Japan Is peculiarly we'll off in re-
spect Of good highways. The Tokaido,
which runs from Kyoto to Tokyo. is
over 300 miles In length and Is admi-
rably constructed. There is also the
xka.endo, which is even longer and
passes through some of the finest seen
cry in the world The reason of
Japan's excellence in the matter of
roads is that in the old days-not sc'
very long ago-the daimios. or terri
torial mobiles. had to journey TO Tokyo
once a year in order to pay their re-
spects to the sovereign. They travelled
by road. with great retnues. and If

Reference b made to the doll seen
in the sketch, which illustrates Japa-
nese quickness and sense Of humor.
The modish peach basket hat has fur
nished newspaper writer's and cartoon
lists with topics and subjects innumer-
able. All Of this fun poking has not
been lost on the stolid Japanese, it
would seem. for the original Of the
doll here sketched was conspicuously
displayed recently in big Japanese
shop, and it may be noted that the
wastebasket that serves her for a hat
is decorated in style that can hardly
be matched by the most extravagant
production Of the American milliner.

HOLLANDS "ORANGE BUD"
Little Princess JuIiana's Start In the
World

Little Princess JuIiana's Start In the
World.
Princess Juliana. the Dutch baby"
as she is universally known, is almost
4 month old. and every one still speaks
we'll Of her. The "Orange Bud" as
her own people delight in calling her,
has. like most babies. blue eyes and
fair hair, and. although Prince Henry.
her father, is reported to have ex-
claimed, "Only a girl" the queen, her
mother, greeted the announcement Of
the child's sex with a smile.
Juliana is not common name in
Holland, and practically every one ex-
pected as a matter Of course that the
baby would be named after her moth
er. but the parents preferred to give
her as first name that of one of her
most illustrious ancestresses. Juliana,
countess Of Stolberg. wife Of William
Of Nassau Dillenburg, was the mother
Of the Ave brothers. william the Silent
among them. who helped to free Hol-
land from the Spanish yoke. The
baby's other names are Louise Emma
Marie Wilhelmina. the first after
Louise dc Coligny. William the Silent's
fourth wife. who, like Juliana of Stol
berg. is noted In Dutch history for her
piety and charity. The next two are
the names Of the grandmothers.
The Dutch custom Of distributing
muisjes, or caraway candies. on but
tered biscuits was not neglected at
court. Every one in any way connect
ed with the court was presented with
bag Of the little sweets with biscuits
Enclosed, the whole being put up in a
bag Of the national colors, red. white
and blue, tied with an orange ribbon.
An enterprising Dutch astrologer
cast the horoscope Of the little princess
twenty minutes after her birth. This
Is what he says: "Princess Juliana will
be trustworthy. honorable and prudent
In word and deed. She will possess
great power of will, which, however,
will not be uselessIy employed. She
will be sympathetic and philanthropic
and will work disinterestedly and
quietly for others without desire for
reward, but seeking perfection in all
things. The princess will also follow
art and science and will have a special
talent for music and poetry. COmpan-
ionable and eloquent of speech, she
will possess the knack Of getting on
well with all sorts Of people"
