ROAD

MANY AUTOS WILL MAKE
TRANSCON
TRIP.
Pathfinder Car Arrives at Seattle
and Men Who Came With 1t
Are Given Banquet Bad Roads
Being Improved by Authorities
Prior to Great Race in June.

At a dinner given at Hotel Washi ng-
ron. Seattle, by the officers of the ex-
nosition and the Seattle Automobile
Climb TO the men who made the trip
from New York to Seattle in he path
finder car, L. W.. Redington, said the
ending practicable route to the North
uest had done much for the good
roads movement, and he could already
coo if had set automobiles and others
TO thinking Of the question of an ocean
to ocean highway.
"This summer will see the vanguard
Of the thousands of tourists that will
come to Seattle over this route" said
Mr. Redingto. within a short time
automobile parties will leave New
York and arrive in Seattle within
three weeks. The transcontinetal trip
is one of the most attractive presented
tn automobiles, and now that the way
has been opened 1 predict that there
will be a steady stream of travellers.
1.-The trip of the pathfnding a and
the proposed New York to Seattle en-
durace contest have done much for the
GOOD roads movement. All along the
route in the Western states county
commissioners entered into the spirit
of the enterprise and are building
roads. Where the cars in the transcon
tinental contest come through the
West they will find much better going
thar we had.
Built Bridges
can instance of the friendly spirit
shown by county commissioners along
the way is the undertaking of the com
missioners at Rawlins, Wyo. We
found a stretch of road impossible by
reason of spring freshets, with no OPP
portunity to make a detour around the
lakes. The county commissioners set
a crew of fifty men, with twenty teams
a work, and within a short time built
three culverts and two bridges and
graded the road so that we could pass.
In Idaho commissioners agreed to
fix the roads before the cars arrive, and
everywhere we were met by the anne
friendly spirit. The invitation given
to tourists By the act of building suit
able roads will bring results, and an
opportunity will be had to bring about
cooperation in building a great high
way which will stretch from this city
to the metropolis"
Judge T. Ronald likened the trip of
the pathfinder to the expedition of
Lewis and Clark.
"The Lewis and Clark expedition
would have opened up a national high
way" said he, "save for the fact that
the railroads came and the people were
led to believe that wagon roads were
unnecessary. Lately they have come
to see that the wagon roads are needed
as feeders for the great lines of rail-
way"
George Miller, the man who drove
the pathfinder across the continent and
who made a trip around world in
the same car, said that the logical
route from New York to the Coast
was to Seattle.
Tourists believed that to reach the
Coast it was necessary to strike south
west from Granger, Wyo., toward
San Francisco" said he. "Our exper-
lence has shown that a better route lies
toward this city. The going is better
and with the improvements now MAX
ing on the roads it will shortly be-
come popular with tourists.

PROFIT i'm Sheep.

Sheep eat and thrive on weeds and
material that other stock do not relish.
Every fence corner, fence row and
weed patch will be more completely
cleaned by them than by the scythe or
hoe. A hundred sheep could be kept
on any Western farm of eighty acres
and n would scarcely miss the cost
Of their care and keeping. They re-
turn in fertilizers about 90 per cent
Of all they have eaten. There is an
old Spanish proverb, 'The sleeps foot
is golden" originating doubtless from
the fact that sheep enrich the soil. No
expensive buildings r needed. Secure

an excellent grade of sheep will result.

Ground Corn for Hogs.

Ground Corn for Hogs.
Owing to the very limited digestive
rapacity of swine for the consumption
of bulky feed, corn cobmeal is not very
satisfactory for purposes of swine
feeding. This class Of farm animals
can use a much more concentrated feed
than any other class and are much
more inconvenienced by the presence
of an excessive amount of crude fiber
in rations. owing to their. small stom-
ach capacity. We should much prefer
cornmeal to corncob on that account.
Brood sows or other hogs with plenty
of framework could use a little corn
cob meal to better advantage, but we
see no particular reason In supplying
it because such material contains prac-
tically no nutriment, and, while 1t Is
sometimes used to make a ration more
bulky for sheep and cattle, 1t Is a pos
tive hindrance to swine.

was killed by a train wrote to the COM
pany's claim agent for a settlement.
He penned his communication thus:

A SEATTLE VIEW Of THE STRIKE

There need be no fear that the in
dictment of nineteen Japanese strike
leaders in Honolulu and the seizure
of M. Negoro's newspaper office, Will
lead to serious complications. The is
sues involved will be settled, and set
tied finally and rightly, by the Anne
rican courts.
If the Japanese in Honolulu refuse
to live within the law, and persist Ill
the impudence course of defying ter
ritorial authority, they will not be
allowed to remain, and they may as
well know it now Hawaii is the pro-
perty of the American people. 1t is
under the supreme authority of this
republic, and the alien who goes
there, whether English, French, Ger
man, Japanese or whatnot, must make
up his mind to live under American
law, with due and becoming respect
for the American authorities, for il he
doesn't the law VIII NOV him down,
Just as it would in those countries.
Treaty stipulations do not authorize
the japanese to enter this country for
the purpose of breaking its laws, and
if they go into any territory over
which this country exercises jurisdic-
ton. they must live by and under
whatever rules and regulations the
American government elects to i'm
pose. The course pursued by the ia
panese in Honolulu is astoundingly
impudent. and it comes with bad
grace from a race of people over
whelmingly in debt to America and
Americans. America has been the pa
tent, generous, considerate and toll
Grant friend of the Japanese; but
when our laws are broken by Jap
anese mob; when the rights of our
own people are outraged and their
lives and property endangered by an
organized band of agitators, patience
becomes a weak virtue and tolerance
impossible. This nation is not Rus
STA.
In cases of this character, Japan
cannot be unmindful of It's obligations
to the American government and peo-
pie. But whatever view Japan may
take of the outrageous course of the
Japanese in Honolulu, the duty of the
American authorities is plain, and
they will not hesitate to perform it.
The Japanese in Hawaii must obey
the law, or quit the territory; the
treaty between the United States and
Japan is not big enough to shield the
lawbreakers in Honolulu, and it is not

LOOK FOR CHINESE
WHO STOLE 100000

Honolulu police are keeping a sharp
lookout for a slick young Chinese gem
tleman who is wanted by the Chinese
government for absconding with thirty
thousand dollars.
Whether or not he is in this city is
unknown, but it is thought he is as
likely to be here as anywhere and the
Chinese government has caused to be
circulated descriptions and photographs
of the absconder, Sheriff Jarrett just
having received notice to be on the
watch for the smart thief
Lau Chan Ching, alias Lau Wal
Chat formerl a student of the Army
College of Paoting, Chill, China, is the
man wanted. He is 80 years of age
of dark-yellowish COMPLEXION, OF
medium size, short-sighted, has num-
erous scars ON his neck, speaks Picking
dialect and little Japanee, and dress
es in American clothes.
Anybody running across this gentle
man and reporting the fact to Sheriff
Jarrett or his deputies will confer a
favor on the Chinese government.
