COUNTY ROADS
ARE TOO NARROW
State Engineer Ellery Points
Out Defects in Law to San
Joaquin Farmers
Especial Dispatch to The Call

STOCKTON, Oct. 29.-The farmers
good roads committee met this after
noon, when State Engineer Nat Ellery
reported on San Joaquin improvements
as being made by the highway COM
mission. He examined the Hogan,
Tracy, Pennington and Linden roads
October 1, and on the 18th inspected
parts of the Woodbridge road and other
highways
Before going into the subject of con-
struction he called the committees at
tention to general conditions affecting
local roads. His report urges the citi-
zens to keep in close touch with high
way improvements.
In reference to the Savage act, under
which San Joaquin county proceeded
in voting bonds in the sum OF $1,S90,0 600
for highway improvements, the state
engineer says:
AT the time this law was passed /
expressly called attention to the fact
that no provision had been made for
maintenance of the roads after con-
structfon, and I could not see the wis
dom of limiting the width of improved
roadways to Is feet. A law of this
nature should be broader that 1t might
meet arising conditions, which, when
we get into actual work must be cared
for. When the law arbitrarily places

and improper. Such was my opinion
before its adoption and such is still
my opinion.
There should be we'll devised plan
for maintenance of the improved roads
of your county, and then that plan
religiously followed. A failure of your
roads means a setback to the good
roads question, and it is incumbent upon
you as citizens of the state to insist
on such a plan for your own welfare"

ON NEW POWER LINE
Two Crews to Garry Wires Into
the Oil District
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 29.-The work
of construction on the loop power line
to be built by the San Joaquin light and
power company into the oil regions will
commence in two places about Novem-
Der /. From Fresno one crew will build
the line to Coalinga, the Devils Den,
via McKittrick to the North Midway.
where it will meet the crew that will
commence operations in Bakersfield and
construct line via Maricopa and Taft
TO Fellows and the North Midway fields.
The power plants of the company are
of sufficient capacity to turn all the
machinery and light the towns in the
oil fields.
The Associated oil company engineers
are this week testing the two new air
compressor stations which have been
completed in the Midway field. Air
lines are being laid to the separate
wells from the central plants and with
in a short time many wells will be
operated by the new power. The wells
which have been put on the air have
shown an encouraging increase in out
put.
The use of compressed air in the Kern
river field has been a wonderful aid in
cleaning out wells and augmenting pro-
duction. The company is erecting mon
ster compressor plants there as are
many of the other companies.

COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES
PROVE BIG SUCCESSES
Organizations in Ireland Greatly
Aid the People

Consul Henry B. Miller of Belfast
forwards the following report on agri-
cultural and cooperative organizations
in Ireland:
The Irish Agricultural society came
into being in 1894 as result of the
efforts of Sir Horace Plunkett and
others to develop agricultural CO.
operation in Ireland. The movement
was slow in getting under way. and it
was difficult to educate the agricul
tural people to the advantages in
volved and to create a sufficient in
terest among them to establish the
necessary organizations. The present
progress of these organizations has
clearly established their Importance
to the welfare of the country.
The extension of cooperative bank
ing to Irish towns is perhaps the most
marked movement at present. The
movement seems to have met with
popular interest and permanent sue
cess from it's inception. The urban
cooperative banks are organized,
owned and governed by the working
people, the purpose being to encourage
thrift and the utilization of savings
for the benefit of the various commu-
mites. The membership embraces
tradesmen, clerks, artisans, etc. These
banks are not competitors in any way
with the joint stock bank organiza-
y,
matters of a minor nature and fill
a place that would otherwise be to-
tally unsupplied. They are primarily
cooperative credit organiza tions. bor
rowing money in many cases and fur
nishing substantial security. and
utilizing this money in minor ways for
the special industrial development of
localities.
These cooperative societies teach
possibilities of organized progress
among the people, independent of gov
ernment assistance. They develop and
cultivate the spirit of self reliance, and
apply the principles of community
of interest to those involved in a COM
mon industrial occupation. The move
ment in Ireland is also beginning to
take on a higher purpose than that of
purely dollars and cents. Many of
the co-operat tive societies are setting
apart a certain percentage of their
profits for educational and social pur-
poses and for charitable aid to their
members.
1t is also believed by leaders in con-
troll of these societies that by means of
cooperative organizations the producer
will escape the evils that arise from
such trusts and combinati tions as oper-
ate between producers and consumers.
The producers naturally become the
trust for the benefit of their people,
but by this means they retain a proper
relation to the consumers and are en-
abled so to regulate the prices and
methods of business that both parties
may be benefited The introduction of
this movement in Ireland leads to the
conclusion, that cooperation among
producers is the practical method of
eliminating the abuses of the trust
system. At present there is a particu-
larly strong movement in the organi-
cation of bacon curing societies, and
apparently this will soon be in con-
troll of the production and distribution
of bacon in the country.
Following is a synopsis of the statis-
tics of the various societies for 1908.

GUN CLUB FIGHTS TO
KEEP OFF TRESPASSERS
Temporary Restraining Order
Is Secured by Officers
TSpeciol Dispatch TO The Call

FRESNO. Oct. ga temporary re-
straining order was issued today by
Judge Austin against Bert Johnson
and Harry Ladagen, enjoining them
from trespassing on the premises of
the Raisin City gun club at Oxalis.
L. o. Stephens, president of the club.
and F. w. Keisker. secretary, sued for
the restra ming order.
This case will interest the game
hunting fraternity all over the state.
for it will solve the question of how
far the lessees of game preserves may
go to prevent trespassing or poaching
on leased premises Notwithstanding
the fact that the gun club has a lease
which runs until March 1, 1913, it is
asserted in the complaint filed today
that the defendants have entered upon
the land and that unless restrained
from hunting on the premises of the
club they will work irreparable injury
thereto, which can not be compensated
by money damage"
The Raisin City gun club is COM
posed of about 20 sportsmen of this
city.

DRY MILK INDUSTRY
GROWING IN NORWAY

A company. capita lized at $3.50, 600.
has recently been organized in Chris
tiania for the manufacture of milk
meal or dry milk, but ii is announced
that 1t will be some time before ii be-
gins active operations.
In the meantime another company
has been organized with a capital of
$4,000, one-half paid up, which will
enlarge the dry milk plant in operation
at Thine. few miles from this city,
and also at Naerbo. These two plants
are equipped with American machinery
The plant at THINE has been in sue
cessful operation for Some time. but
the plant at Naerbo is just being in
stalled.
A local paper announces that the
new company has contracted with an
English firm for the delivery of 900
tons of the dry milk meal each year for
three years. The English company is
under contract to aid in the installation
of new machinery to give the plants
larger capacity than at present. 1t is
believed that both plants will do
profitable and increasing business. and
there should be an opportunity for the
sale of additional machinery similar to
the kind in use at present. The abund-
ances of milk in this district, where
small farming and dairying are lead
ing vocatiops. would seem to assure a
promising future for the dry milk in
dustry.
Much is claimed, apparently on the
highest authority, for the new product.
1t is said that milk meal when dis
solved in water and made into new
milk. has greatly increased food
value over ordinary milk. 1t is used
largely for sick persons and GONZALES
cents. on ships and on expeditions en-
failing long voyages because of it's
keeping qualities under all climatic
conditions and its convenience of trans
portation.
The product is made from SKINNED
and unskimmed milk, the first being
Viking milk and the second Trurnilk.
The Trumilk or meal when dissolved
in water has almost the identical taste
of good fresh milk-the difference
would not be noticed if one were not
advised that it was not natural milk

ITALIAN JOURNALIST
TREATED AS LUNATIC

An Italian journalist, Signor Tomaso
Giloni. has just had some disagreed Bile
experiences DESTROYS of knowing
something of the lunatic asylums from
within. with the object of ameliorating
the lot of the insane, he presented him
self at the gates of the Cimarosa
asylum, and asked for an audience of
the king of Italy. The attendants
showed him the door. and then he ran
foul of the police and in the end he
found himself interned in the asylum
The doctors examined him, and finding
him far from tractable, administered
an emetic Then they gave him
shower bath and next vaccinated the
enterprising journalist. After that they
held a consultation in the presence of
the s.lunatic''-whose bona fides they
evidently suspect sd-and brutaIly but
unanimously agreed that the only treat
ment in such a case was trepanning, for
a cancer on the brain. BY this time Sig
nor Tomaso sGiloni thought the best
he could do was to confess. This he
did, and found himself at the police
station The magistrate, however, re-
leased him, observing that he thought
the doctors had administered sufficient
punishment.
