WHERE WE GET OFF.

Good roads advocates are much in
evidence in North Yakima this week.
but not too much in evidence. That
would be impossible so urgent is the
necessity that something be done to
better the condition of the states high
ways.
Probably no more interesting phase
of the discussion has developed than
the umbrage taken by the commits
siOners at the statement of J. A. Perry
of Spokane that mot a mile of good
roads has been built in this state in
twenty- years" Perhaps this state
ment is a little too severe on the
county com missioners but it contains
an element of truth. He should have
qualified 1t by saying that almost every
mile of good road that was built in
the state during the past twenty years
has been allowed to deteriorate from
lack of attention. The only difference
Is that every county has continually
paid out good money and has never
had continuous good roads. AT least
this is true on the east side of the
mountains
Road building and road maintain
ence constitute just the same sort of
problem that the farmer of the middle
west has faced in the keeping of his
farm enclosed with a zig-zag rail
fence. A rail fence requires continual
and ever watchful care. Every spring
and several times each season the Old
rails must be replaced with new; new
stakes driven at the corners after wind
storms and the ravages of obstreper-
Gus steers and colts repaired Other
wise there would soon be no fence.
In Yakima county We have built sew
eral pieces of good road but. once
built. little attention has been paid to
It and the result is that the last state
is usually worse than the first. Some
how we have been pouring money into
q sack with hole in the bottom, and
now We are reaping the criticism of
both poor roads and extravaganza

Free Ships Clause Restricted to
Those of Steel Construction and
Mitigates in Favor of J. Pier
pont and His Friends.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.--The pub.
lies old friend, Ship Subsidy Bill, has
bobbed up again at the back door of
congress. Bill is disguised as an
honest working man these days. and
all he asks is job carrying foreign
mails at fair wages, and on the dead
quiet to help out his much abused fell
low workingman, j. Pierpont Morgan,
with a free ship section.
It's this way about the free ship
What Free Ships" Are.
Present navigation laws do not per-
NIT American who buy foreign built
ships to have them registered as
American or to fly the American flag
over them. Such ships must be more
than half built here before they are
admitted to American registry. OPP
ponents of shipping subsidy have at
tackled previous bills with demand
for free ships" or, in other words,
the free admission of ships built
abroad and purchased by Americans,
to American registry.
This year the subsidy advocates,
with an air of making the last great
concession, declared that they would
stand for "free ships" and write that
in their bills. This apparent change
of front seems remarkable, because
the subsidy argument most empha-
sized has been the prophecy that
American dock yards would hum with
end give work to thou

MILWAUKEE, USES
8 STEAM SHOvElS
Twenty-Three More Ordered to
Widen Cuts and Fill Draws
on Washington Lines.

OTHELLO, WASH, Feb. 22.-Repre-
sentatives of the engineering depart
ment of the G. M. & P. S. have an
nounced the beginning of extensive
work on the western extension of the
Milwaukee road. The replacing Of
wooden trestles and other temporary
structures with steel bridges and per-
manent fills has been commenced,
bridge steel being now received from
the manufacturers in tranloads. The
heaviest work Is to be done between
Deer Lodge and the coast. There are
now nine steam shovels widening cuts
and filling draws now spanned with
trestles The mechanical department
has been ordered to supply % addi-
tional sloves by the middle of March.
Extensive additions to the Othello
Terminals are also planned. Milwau-
kee officials say an addition equal in
size to the present roundhouse will be
erected this summer. The branch
from Warden, few miles from Othel-
To- to Griffith is under construction.
This branch, when completed, will be
the roads western outlet from Spo-
kane. The drilling of another 13-inch
well was commenced today.

BRIDGES APPROACH
THE USEFUL STAGE
County Structures Across Yakima
River Are Fast Reaching a
Completed Condition.

Bridge work at North Yakima, at
least so far as the concrete Is con-
cerned, has been slowed up by the fall
in temperature yet there Is every rea-
son to believe that the next 10 days
or so will see the bridge across the
Mckee completed and ready for use.
The county will then have to take
hold and fix up the approaches as
every indication points to a consider
able increase in the population on the
east side of the river this season.
Bridge work on the structure
across the Yakima below Mabton has
progressed so far that the steel span
is in place and is now being rivited
while the wooden spans and trestles
are beyond danger should anything
happen to the false work of the
bridge. The span has been swung
into position also on the Mabton-
Sunnyside bridge which c. e. Lum
has under construction. 1t is prob
able that the county commissioners
will take early action with regard to
the bridge at Union Gap which cut
an important figure in the negotia-
tons with the North Coast railroad
over the matter of a county road
through the gap.

ANOTHER DANIEL!

Did you get a chance to read Jus
tice Putnam's decision in that Brokaw
divorce case, trial of which has been
making New York millionaire society
crawl under the bed? If you didn't,
YOU missed a mighty good point.
Among other things his honor decided
that married woman is entitled to
the privacy of her room and the priv
ilege of rest whenever she desires it.
The fellow who will not grant his
wife privacy in her room, when she
wants it, is pretty much all brute or
pretty much all fool. Indeed, there are
wives for whom such privacy should
be encouraged. 1t is a mighty sight
nicer having a wife letting off what
she thinks of a tardy dressmaker in
a little swearing room of her own than
telling it to the wide, wide world, and
som married men have seen times
when they would be willing to take
wiley up in their arms and tenderly
put her down in her cute little private
tentative to going to bed on the coal
shed and hanging them selves for relief
Indeed, it is possible that the majority
Oh wives are fdtneT given 10 100 great
publicity and too little privacy. when
troubles arise, and the well-ordered
home is that in which a little private
space is devoted to territory to which
the dear .helpmeet can retire and cut
loose on disagreeabe neighbors,
cloves on hubby's breath, pins In the
children's abdomen, cussedness of the
family cat, or anything else in the way
of calamity that burden her blessed
heart.
Moreover, If courts decide that wives
are entitled to private room, they
must grant the same to husbands
We have known large, beautiful hus-
bands WHO had every happiness pos.
s.blo who truly loved their wives and
homes, who hadn't real throuble on
earth, and had lived to be so years of
age without wrinkle in their race
ana vet times came to them when they
hungered to be alone. to cut loose for
just a little time from the whole blam-
ed happy monotony as it We're. Moth
ing seem ed to all them or their affairs
business or domestic, only it just
seemed as if they simply had to be
cut loose for spell. Surely, 1t would
be better TO give such a husband a
private room than to have him take
rod and reel and rush off into the
woods and mosquitoes for black bass
when he couldn't tell a bass from a
smoked herring.
