WHY SUCH ROADS?

Several pack outfits were in
town the first of the week from
across Salmon river after sup
plies but stated they could not
come again soon owing to the
bad condition of the Grave Creek
road and the road up Rice creek.
What is the matter with the
board of county commissioners
that they cannot give these roads
a little attention and see that
they are made passable. The
citizens of Cottonwood have con-
tributed heavily toward the build
ing of this road and it looks now
as if they are expected to keep
it up. Roads along the Clear
water or up Salmon river or back
into the mountain mining camps
have no trouble in getting county
assistance but when it comes to
fixing roads out on the prairie,
(where the burden of the county
taxes are paid,) there is little
doing. Of course bridge plank
will be furnished and the over.
seer's salary allowed but aside
from this most of the prairie
road districts have to depend on
the road tax of from twenty tt
thirty men to keep their roads in
repair-and it will not do it.
Over in Nez Perez county
where taxes are no higher than
here, the roads are in fine condi
ton, but here they are simply {
disgrace to our county. 1t il
about time the mountain distric-
was made to put up for it's owl
roads and the prairie be giver
some return for the thousands o.
dollars of road tax it pays each
year.

An Associated Press dispatch
states that Mr.. Roosevelt's tour
through Europe will result in an
increase of at least 100000 i'm
migrants this year and that fully
so, 600 Italians are now awaiting
transportation here, largely as a
result of the former presidents
visit to that country. Of course,
it is not barely possible that Mr..
Roosevelt is not entirely respon-
sible for this influx of immi-
grants but if he is it would have
been far better for our country
had he stayed at home, or re-
NAMED in Africa.

One Of the most extraordinary char
acteristics Of Pithecophaga is its ex-
traordinary bill, the outline OF the up

segment of circle. Its depth is
greater than that of any known bird

(Haliaetus pelagicus), while its ex-

Its depth Is unique among accipitres.
The feet and toes are only exceeded
by those of the harpy-eagle in size
and strength. Since Mr.. Whitehead s
specimen was sent home and the
Philippines became American, a few
OF these eagles, probably less than a
dozen, have from time to time been
secured, chiefly In the great southern
island Of Mindanao. 1t is known, how
ever, to occur throughout the group,
and has also been obtained in Luzon.

sharp-eyed detective had come around.

the cuff-link, the golf stick and the re-
yolver, in secure place until l could

it. The box was empty-the cuff-link

Dispatcher slonaI. Enolne.r.

To give the dispatcher direct con.
nection with the engineer. as we'll as
with the station. is the aim of a de-
vice that is being tried out. At each
signal station there are contact bars
arranged so that shoe on the en-
gine comes into contact with the bar,
Just as the shoe on an underground
trolley car comes in contact with the
bars in the slot In the engine cab and
in the station there are green and red
lights. and by these the dispatcher or
ders the engineman to proceed or stop.
In addition there is telephone in the
cab by which verbal orders can be
given. The success of such a system
Is said to be questionable in foul
weather and under high speed condi.
tions.

time.
Il do not know I cried, "but be
sure of this: Halsey knows nothing
of this thing, and no amount of cir

nocent man guilty"
"Sit down." he said, pushing for
ward chair. There are some things
l have to tell you, and, in return,
please tell me all you know. Believe
me, things always come out. In the
first place, Mr.. Armstrong was shot
from above. The bullet was fired at
close range, entered below the shoul-
der and came out, after passing
through the heart, well down the
back. In other words, believe the
murderer stood on the stairs and fred
down. In the second place, found
on the edge of the billiard table a
charred cigar which had burned itself
partly out, and cigarette which had
consumed itself to the cork tip. Neith-
er one had been more than lighted,
then put down and forgotten. Have
you any idea what it was that made
your nephew and Mr.. Bailey leave
their cigars and their game, take out
the automobile without calling the
chauffeur. and all that at-let me see
certainly before three o'clock in the
morning."
