A FINE NEW ROAD.
Great ImprOvement in Northeast
Corner of Madison Township
Under Direction of r.. +.
Bakken, Road Super
visor.

One of the very best pieces of road
sidering the condition of the coun-
try upon which he had to work, has
been done in the northeast corner
of Madison township under the SUI
pervision of Mr. E. F. Bakken, road
supervisor, on the road west of the
city, adjoining the DEBORAH township
road west Of the Brakeman hill.
Early in the year considerable work
was done by DEBORAH township on
the Brakeman hill road, noted in
these columns at the time, and this
new road runs west of this about
two miles.
Although through very hilly
country, the road is now easy of
travel, on account of the fact that
since Mr.. Bakken has been road SUI
pervisor he has continued to cut
down the tops of the hills and grade
up the valleys, so that the hills have
been materially reduced. Instead
of grading the entire width of the
road as many do, he has taken only
sufficient space to allow easy passing,
and this he has arched we'll to the
center, giving fall of about tive
feet to the bitches on the sides.
This has all been graded smooth
with grader, and we understand
that after rains will be kept smooth
and hard with the King drag, the
greatest road maker ever built Con-
sidering the circumstances under
which he has had to work, we have
seen no stretch of road in the county
that will equal this, and Mr.. Bakken
and those who have worked with
him are to be congratulated upon it.
Now, if they will only keep the
road up and not neglect it, as has
been the case in most parts of the
county after building a good road,
it will last for many years. We re-
gret to note that in several parts of
the county excellent roads were built
in the spring, we'll graded and round
ed to the center, and have since
been absolutely neglected A very
little work with the King drag on
these roads after rains would have
made them hard and smooth and
they could have been kept in good
condition in this way for years, but
they were left soft, and during the
summer have become very rough
and filled with ruts and bitches, so
that the water does not run off prop
erly. and in short time will be as
bad az over. The law compelling the
dragging of these roads seems to
have been ignored.

A Question of Learning.

"A SutStiOB VI hIAos
Winifred is very clever;
She's a college graduate.
She can discourse on Beethoven
In a manner most sedate.
Winifred's not very pretty,
Q should hardly call her that.
But she's got the higher branches
OF philosophy down pat.
Daisy is a perfect sumner
(That is what the fellows say.
When it comes to smiles and dimples
She has everything her way.
And when she is out agolfing.
Everyone admires her swing;
But of higher mathematics
Daisy doesn't know thing.
Winifred is most proficient
At domestic science, too;
I'm afraid that Daisy couldn't
Even make an Irish stew.
But the boys all follow Daisy,
Winifred is quite forgot
Now does higher education
Really pay, or does it not?

A MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION

A MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION of arithmetic and the law of proba- bilities at his elbow, last night made a calculation as to the time that will be required to complete the Calhoun jury. One member has been temporarily passed as a result of two weeks work. In twenty-four weeks, or six months, the required number, twelve temporary jurymen, will have been passed subject to peremptory challenge. Supposing eighteen challenges are allowed and the Mathematician understands there are more than that in California, twenty-four weeks should be multi piled by two and one-half, which would bring the time for securing twelve unchallengable jurors to fifteen months.
 It is probable that in this trial, as in the former, the thirteenth juror plan will be adopted, in which case one twelfth of the re-going result should be added to it, bringing the weeks to the grand and glittering total of sixty-five.
 So far the calculation has involved only the operation of pure mathe- matics, but the probabilities are that as the quest for jurors proceeds, tales men will become more terrified and elusive and will more than ever dread to devote the best years of their lives to the trial of MT. Calhoun and they will grow more careless as to what they will swear to iH order to disqualify themselves. In the mean time Mir. Calhoun, who is already well along in years, is growing no younger but is more rapidly approach ing the final great day of judgment than the San Francisco day of judg ment is approaching him.
 Thus, according to the law of prob abilities and the rules of mathematics, it is unlikely to overtake him The only excuse we can really see for the present proceedings is that they will be carried over the period of the municipal campaign in San Francisco, in which MT. Heney expects to be candidate for district attorney.

WHY FISH ARE SCARCE.

'To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-In a recent issue of your paper I noted an effort on the part of some reporter to account for the scarcity of fish in the Phoenix market. It was laid to the fisherman of the coast ports who feared to violate govern ment rules and with short notice could not equip their boats with proper lights.
 1 regard the story as a pure fabri- cation, designed to protect the repu- tatiOns of Hi Eldred and Jake Miller, who in previous seasons have caught most of the fish taken in southern

It was very considerate of Messrs. Johnson and Jeffries not to bring their negotiations to the present acute stage until the tariff bill was prac- tically out of the way, otherwise that economic measure would have re- ceived scant American attention. These pugilists are true patriots as we always suspected. In considera ton of their forbesrance it is now the plain duty of congress to get out of the spotlight and adjourn.
