and hope that within a few days every
thing will be in good shape.
I'VE have reports today that the past
few days, which have been clear and
warm, have done a great deal in reliev-
ing the situation The sun worked wend-
ers in the muddy places and the repair
gangs have been materially assisted by
this favorable spell of weather.
I'VE will, this summer, try more than
ever to get the roads in good shape for
the winter travel and hope the farmers
will bear with us while this work is being
performed. The road question in this
county is a serious one and we cannot
pass over the claims of the people lightly.
At the same time we should be given OPP
portunities to remedy bad places before
judgment is passed.

the price paid fair one. The prices
here have advanced considerably hut

now stands for some time.

MILITARY ACCURACY
Exaotness In Keeping Tab on tho
Movements of Soldiers.


Movements of Soldiers.
We hear much of the perfection of
military organization abroad, but 1t is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
fee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements of Its Of
ficers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with a scouting party in Ari-
zona. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes a
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent.
1t asked IL the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
eighty niles ITOu lne pOlnt Ut WHICH
they had previously crossed 1t, but the
officers reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. 1t had been
telegraphed to every station within
200 miles.
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officers trans
fer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave, and, as the regulations
require, he had notified the department
of the day, hour and probable route
of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at small
station the porter entered with tele-
gram asking if any one of his name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in
significant second lieutenant even
when he was travelling on leave of alb
sence.-New York Herald.

observing the crowds in The
Busy Corner Store during the last
few weeks. Go in there when
you will, you are sure to find the
clerks busy, and a happy lot of
customers inspecting goods and
making purchases. No doubt,
the unusually good bargains are
the main attractions; still the
human tendency to. go where
ones neighbor goes, is also one
of the causes. 1t may be inter-

clearance sale will end Saturday
