What Good Roads Do.

Good roads increase very materially
the value Of the farms they serve. They
lessen the time between farm and town,
and in effect set the farm miles nearer
its trading centre. They serve as an in
dex to the character of the neighborhood
through which they run. They promote
neighborliness. They save time, feed
norsefesh; and the wear on wagons and
other vehicles. They make it possible to
market grain, hay and other bulky farm
produce ak unfavorable seasons of the
year, when prices are good and farm
work slack, and there's just one way to
have them think, agitate, vote and
build Them.

LIGHT FROcKS IN LONDON.
The Streets Consequently Made Gay
by the Feminine Multitude.


by the Feminine Multitude.
Whatever they choose to put on,
the swarming feminine multitudes Of
London present this summer an ex-
traordinarily gay and butterfly appear
aEce.
This is due to the prevalence of
white and clear pale colors, for the
poorest working girl wears a straw
hat and roses, and calls in la sainte
mousseline to aid her already redoubt-
able cha ms.
Nothing impresses the foreigner
more than the beauty of the London
shopgirl, typewriter and the like, and
now that she brings taste and intel.
ligence to bear on her garments the
result is imposing in it's general eff.
feet.
One of the reasons of the gayety
Of London streets and parks is the
extraordinary absence of black.
Mourning is now worn for compara-
lively so short period that it is rare
to see an entirely sable clad woman.
At the League of Mercy concert in
the Albert hall the vast auditorium,
filled with some 5000 summer clad
women, resembled a gigantic flower
bed in which white and blue (as is
the recent fashion in gardens) pre-.
dominated.

WEALTH HIDDEN IN OLD TARL e.
Problem California Woman Left for
Public Administrator to Solve.


Cunningly hidden IN secret recep-
tacle deftly carved in the leg of an
antique table, the fortune of the late
Mrs. Jessie Fremont Dietsch of San
Francisco, relative of the noted path
finder, Gen. John c. Fremont, was
found recently by the deputy public
administrator, w. ]. Hynes. The neat
ly fastened little bundle gave up a
bank book showing deposits of $4,000,
a costly collection of time honored
jewelry and countless shares in wild
cat concerns worth their waste paper
value.
The discovery of the effects of the
erratic woman of historic lineage ends
a search that Hynes and his men pur-
sued for several days with great ear
nestness. When Mrs. Dietsch died, on
April %, alone and in seclusion, her
effects were taken charge of by the
public administrator in the absence
Of any near relatives. The officers
were informed that the old woman
was possessed of great wealth and the
stories came from such reliable
sources that 1t was deemed advisable
to make complete search of the
premises.
With this end in view Hynes and
his assistants strained every effort
to locate the hidden treasure Every
article in the house was overturned
and thoroughly searched without avail.
Even the carpets and tapestries were
ripped open in the hope that they
would yield some of the glittering
gold which the aged recluse was sup.
posed to possess.
Just as Rynes was about to abandon
the search he accidently knocked of
the hollow leg of an ancient table
In a cleverly contrived cache the pub
lie administrator spisd an Old wallet. |
Opening the bag, Hynes discovered |
that 1t contained the bank book, |
jewels and stock certificates.

Cowboys Make BARTENDER Drink HIS
Own villainous Decoction.
Il was standing in the barroom in
resort at Three Forks" said a travel
ing man, waiting for the proprietor to
arrive in the hope of placing a small
order. While | was waiting two cow
boys, wrapped in fur coats, their own
dignity and a reputation as the top
riders of the country which stretches
away toward the head of Willow
creek, came into the saloon and,
marching up to the bar, demanded
cocktail.
The bartender looked nonplussed
for a moment but, though he had
never made cocktail or seen one
made. he was not to be shut out, so
he grabbed the biggest glass he could
find behind the bar and Immediately
got busy. If there was anything there
he missed putting into that glass from
salt and peppersauce used to flavor the
beer to the snippings from the ends of
the cigars which he found in the cigar
cutter l could not see it. and when he
had finally finished he had two big
beer glasses full of the mixture.
1.-The boys both tasted the beverage
End it did not taste good. Each had
unlim5 5ered a big gun and, playfully
toying with the weapons, they suggest
ed that the bartender drink his own
mixture. 1t required some persuasion,
but finally to avoid trouble, he swal-
lowed the contents of both glasses.
Now make Your will, you poison
err shouted the punchers and solemnly
they put their guns back where they
belonged, treated the house to the ci.
gars and faded away into the distance,
their horses hitting only the high
spots as they disappeared up the val
ley.
"And tell you the impromptu bar
tender had good occasion to make his
will. For three or four hours he was
the slckest man ever saw, and it took
the services of a doctor, who worked
over him for an hour or two, to bring
him back to life again. Anaconda

Pure Food
Bulletin

AZ bulletin has been published by
the agricultural experiment station of
the Nevada State Unworthy concern
ing the pure food law and the stand
ards of purity adopted by the last
legislature.
The law adopted by the state is
modelled after the national pure food
and drug acts of June 80, 1906, and
is somewhat similar to the laws ad-
opted by North Dakota, Maine, Mis-
souri, and several other states. The
enforcement of the law, including the
inspection and analysis of samples
will be done by the chemistry de-
partment, with Sanford C. Dinsmore
and Miles b. Kennedy in charge. In
case, after examination, it is found
that any article be ~adulterated, 1t
will be reported to the director of the
experiment station, who serves notice
