OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.

There is no movement which is OF
more vital importance to Yakima
county at the present time than that
which concerns the Improvement of
che main travelled highways. The
general subject of good roads is one
(which has been talked about and dis
russed until the average rural resi-
dent is sick and tired of hearing so
much talk with so few results mani
fest
The county commissioners recently
<srdered the building of five miles OF
srayeled turnpike during the coming
season. In the immediate vicinity of
Mocth Yakima there is not to be found
a. stretch of road very much in excess
nj that amount. In fact throughout
the county, it Is a notorious fact that
che main roads are not graded and
szaveled, but merely beaten paths
through the sagebrush.
There is reason for this state of
affairs. it is true. i ne county has
eseen put to enormous expense In the
Building and maintenance of bridges
sand county taxes have been so high
THAT the commissioners have not felt
justified in entailing the extra ex-
g,anse
Nevertheless, the time has come
when turnpike roads are a necessity
gsacause of the immense amount of
Earm and ranch produce that is haul
e4d to the nearby railroad stations
each season 1t is question II the
eatra expense which is entailed upon
uanchers through hauling loads over
bad roads, is not greater many times
s5ysr than would be each mans pro-
Esurs iOnate expense in the construc-
rspn of better ones. Good roads eX-
E,erts are agreed that this is an in
,Sisputab @ fact.
If that l., the case, it is up to the
1rancber to grab pencil and paper
aIHd do some figuring and consistent
climbing. He is careful about entail
rug unnecessary expense in the har-
yresstig of his crops, why ought he to
overlook a leak in the means EN-
EiOyed In the marketing of that crop?
There is no use in trying to shift

Far Spreading Effects.

Granger is close to the construction
camps of the North Coast railroad
and the laborcr's spent their money
freely over the green cloth. The habit
was not confined alone to the wan
derers. 1t is alleged that the sons of
prominent citizens, and boys not yet
of age. begged and borrowed, and in
one instance stole horse to play po-
ker. The gambling instinct was strong
and the game ilourished like green
bay tree. Sometimes the limit as
stunned life size proportions, and the
potswere big. No charges were made
that the game was crooked" and a
rushing business was done.
Sheriff Lancaster and force have
been collecting evidence in connec-
ton with the Granger case for some
time and complaints have been made
to the county authorities regarding
conditions. The sheriff's men believe
that they have strong chain of evil
dence in the case against Brown and
Reed. Brown is held on two counts
and Reed on one. Other alleged viola
tons of the law in the same respect
in other sections of the county are be-
ing investigated.

AMERICANS OUTWIT RUSSIANS
Compel Manufacturers There to Come
to America for Plans and
Drawings for Pumps.

New illustrations of the determine
ton of the Russian government
to prevent the use Of foreign
made goods in any public works
come TO light almost daily. The
newspapers of st. Petersburg this
week print circulars from the min
lister of railways and the minister OF
education, directing attention to or
ders from the finance ministry against
the use of foreign railway materials
and educational supplies When the
required articles cannot be had IN Rus
STA the higher authorities must be con-
suited before an order can be given to
a foreign manufacturer or an i'm
porter
Another instance is furnished by the
decision to complete the naphtha pipe
line from Baku to Batoum. 1T ends
now in the mountains. When the ilrst
section was built it was desired to use
Russian pumps, but it was found that
no Russian concern could turn out the
article needed. The order was there
upon, by special ukase of the emperor,
given to an American house. The price
was cut down pretty low on the
ground, it is said, that the same com
pany would naturally get the order
for the second section and that, having
models and drawings all ready, the ex
pense to it of making the additions
pumps would be considerably less
ened. The American company is no
accustomed to depend on promises
and took the precaution to buil'
pumps of unique design for this pip
line and to patent its plans and pre-
tect its models. 1t is now about t
reap the reward of its foresight HI
order has gone forth that none bu
Russian materials are to be used. IL

many persons. Prof. Crassi's name has

with the theory that malaria is caused
by mosquito bites

such theories have been presented

this to say on the subject: MY medi-

why il is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and

haustion. no chronic debility. They are
not shut up day after day with prac
tically no exercise. and they are not
able to stuff themselves with food

work to justify it, The human race
has been doing this yor years. and look
at the result-half the people are COM

MEXICAN MURDERER
CAUGHT At PEORIA
KILLED A cOuNTRYMAN AT
CONGRESS JUNCTION
He Made Show of Resistance

Jose Mariff. who shot and killed
another Mexican at Congress junction
on Monday night. was captured yes
county at Peoria. When Sheriff
Smith first heard of the murder, he
was in Phoenix on his way back
home on Tuesday morning He was
given by telephone an account of the
tragedy and a description of Mariff
Sheriff Smith had time to go to
the sheriffs office here and leave
a description of the man before TAX
ing the train for the north.
on arriving at the junction ho
heard that Mariff who had fled hat
less after committing the crime had
been followed as far as Wickenburg
where all trace of him was lost
When the train which had passed
Wickenburg in the night arrived in
the city the next day. the crew re-
ported that man had boarded the
train at Hot Springs and had rid
den about nine miles before he was
discovered. He was then kicked off
1t was also noticed that he had
no hat. The members OF the crew
had not heard of the. murder. The
sheriffs office here on hearing of
this telephoned to Sheriff Smith.
who returned down the road with a
deputy and got on the trail of the
Mexican. where he had been put
off the train. They followed it to
Peoria. and learning that he had
passed there. they got a horse and
buggy and followed down the track.
Before going far they overlook
Mariff. who drew his revolver. but
the officers were before him in this
move and he threw up his hands. He
will be taken to Prescott this morn
ing.
Mariff was a section hand on the
:. F. p. & p. road and he had
bad reputation. Since this killing it
has been reported by Mexicans that
he is wanted in Guadalajara for
brutal murder. on Monday. night he
was drunk and firing a revolver into
the air when another Mexican came
along and advised him to put the
gun into his pocket. For this advice
the adviser was shot dead.
Mariff and another Mexican whose
name is not known left the Junction
at once and it was thought at first
that they had gone toward Weaver
where so man murderers and
other Mexican criminals have remain
ed hidden for long periods of time.
