Good Roads The Answer.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
The best way to improve farm
conditions is to keep the best far
mers on the farE,, and the way
to do that is to build good roads,
was the advice given the Good
Roads convention at Topeka by
President Waters of the Kansas
Agricultural College.
The reason young people do
not stay on the farm is because
of the isolated life they are COM
PEELED to lead under present farm
conditions. They choose the cit
les, not because they offer great
er possibilities for a good living,
but because the young people
feel that in the city they are in
the big game of life.
The establishment of easy and
convenient communication be-
tween the town and country and
between rural neighborhoods will
remove the principal cause of the
depopulation Of farm communi-
t ties.
, Good roads will also add to the
, earning capacity Of the farm be-
cause of the decrease they will
insure to the cost of production
. in the matter of Transportation
charges. Good roads will not on

MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1910.

In his annual report Mayor
Rowland calls attention to some
matters about which the board
of town commissioners should
not be slow to act. The employ
ment of an expert electrician to
examine into the causes for the
astonishing way in which charges
for lights vary will give general
satisfaction. There has been
much complaint on this score and
nobody seems to understand the
trouble. Every suggestion mace
by the mayor is good one and
should receive the careful atten-
ton of the board. Certainly the
suggestion that the property
owners whose store buildings
stand out beyond the line of the
other buildings on Elm street
should be made to move their
buildings back, ought to be acted
upon at once. These buildings
mar the appearance of the street
and it is not just to other pro-
perty owners to allow them to
stand cut as they do. 1t is to be
hoped, too, that the deliberations
of the chief of the fire depart
ment will result in devising some
plan by which some sort Of eff
fective alarm may be given at
any time and some sort of ef-
fective fight made against fire.
The mayor is entirely within the
truth in characterizing the pres
ent fire department as a farce.

What Wenatchee needs in the i'm
mediate future is spirit of CO.
operation among all interests. This
is no time to encourage discussions
of any kind or to find fault with con-
ditions which may not appear so
roseate as anticipated. There has
been a let up, so to speak, through
out the entire country. A shortage
of the wheat crop in the northwest,
the failure of the fruit chop in the
middle west and injury to the cotton
crop in the south, will naturally
cause more or less financial string
ency. This year Wenatchee will have
a bumper fruit crop and the pros
poets for an extensive market and
good prices are exceptionally good.
By harmonious action the localities
of North Central Washington can
make substantial progress by making
known the exceptional advantages
which obtain here and induce the
incoming of men with capital. Real
estate transfers are beginning to be
made with more frequency of late.
A hopeful but at the same time
conservative feeling should insure
a steady development of this section.
