estate there that foreigners can not
own property, and should young lady
marry a foreigner, she loses her right
as property owner. Real estate men
there are not so plentiful. Mr.. Rowell
gave an interesting talk on his expert

A suggestion from the R. F. D.
carrier along the line of better roads
as advocated in last weeks issue: "It
is so much to the interest of every land
owner to have smooth and attractive
drive along his farm that he could well
afford to devote little time during
the slack season-if he has any-to
putting it in not only good but artistic
shape" Will you, the patrons of R.
F. D. No. oe Austin, cooperate with
me in clearing the loose stones from
the roads over which the service is
held. Let each man look after the
road from his box on to the next or in
some cases neighbors combine in care
ing for the road in the immediate
vicinity. Good roads are as telling an
advertisement of ones property as can
be had, also they are of intrinsic value
to all of us. Good roads are cheaper
than bad roads.

Straight in front Of him but eighty

covered crest was lost in the white
feecy clouds that lowered around it.
To his left the Cascades made a rug

his right the Olympics rose to ma

Pacific ocean. Away off to the
northwest the Selkirks carried sea
