A Good Roads Movement.

We've had a good roads movement down
to Pohick. on the crick.
We raised some ready cash fur what we
couldn't get on tick.
An, bein' a particular job we thought 1t
would be wise
To get some men OF probity to come an
supervise.
An as a further guarantee 'gainst chances
of neglect
We took another set OF men an told 'em
to inspect
An these arrangements didn't seem jes'
what they ought to be
TIL we'd secured some talent competent
to oversee.
There arose misunderstanding bout emol-
uments and rank,
But the payroll checks KEEP comm very
regular to the bank.
Somehow the highways didn't seem to
lose their ruts an Jumps,
An every time We went to town we had
TO bump the bumps.
We found il hard to comprehend what
such delay could mean
In work so Well inspected, supervised an
OVerseen.
The only manual labor on this job that
seemed so slow
Was done with great reluctance by a
small boy with a hoe.
The situation naturally shocked our civic
pride.
We called some meetin's. an the proper
people testified.
We got the overseers to tell exactly what
they knew
An heard from the inspectors an the SUI
perVisors too.
Then we drew up resolutions an deliv-
cred an address
To vindicate our efforts TO uplift an to
progress.
We have solved the difficulty. an our
hearts are full of Joy
At SEEM discipline maintained. We fired
that no count boy.

self for more than half aScentury has
been the southern gateway for all the
trade OF the wonderfully rich country
of the Feather river, and is the point
through which most of its supplies
come.
Strangely enough, until the coming
Of the Western Pacific. OrOville has
never been located on through rail-
way line The Southern Pacific has "a
spur running nOTthward from its main
line 10 OrOville, but that has been all
that the town has had in the way of
steam transportation facilities. The
Western Pacific, seeking TO serve this
important traffic-prOducing region, has
swung north OF the Southern Pacific,
reaching into new territory. not to
cross the older line until midway across
Nevada. one reason for following this
route is shown by the fact that in the
territory tapped there is, at a cOnserva-
tive estimate more than lOO,00O,OOO car
loads OF lumber alone.
Entirely aside from Its advantages Of
construction and equipment the sue
cess Of a railroad as a commercial en-
terprise depends on its traffic. 1t is
which would be a model in the opinion
of engineers, but which, as viewed by
investors, would be a failure because OF
inability 10 earn dividends. In form
ing any judgment as to the future OF
this new Pacific road, IL is essential to
inquire into its traffic possibilities.

markable scenery in the country, and

are also extensive copper and iron de-
poslts which are awaiting adequate
transpOrta ton facilities to make their
development profitable. The copper
deposits OF this region are the con-
ttnuatiOn OF the Shasta belt. on which
are situated farther north the famous
Keswick, Bully Hill and other prop
critics, producing bout $4,000, 900 an
nually. The same section OF the state
which contains the richest mineral re-
sources tributary TO the road likewise
contains the greater part Of the stand
Ing timber in the Western Pacific ter
ritOry.
From the summit Of the Sierra to
Salt Lake the Western Pacific draws
a line across Nevada and western Utah.
Nevada Is rich in mineral resources,
and some of its most promising dis
tricts lie along the route OF the new
road. Deposits Of sulphur, bOrax and
salt, gold, silver and copper, occur
along the line between the border OF
California and that of Utah. Moreover,
irrigation has proved that the soil OF
Nevada is as rich as any In existence.
In the Truckee- Carson river country,
where an irrigation project of the
United States government is retaining
some $50, 900 acres Of land, the begin
nings OF a prosperous agricultural com
munity have already sprung up. The
country which is traversed by the
Western Pacific is as rich in soil po-
tentialities as any in Nevada.
Adequate Terminals Necessary.
A truth that is far more widely ap-
preciated among railroad managers TO
day than il was a generation ago Is
that a road cannot succeed without
ADEQUATE terminals. At san francisco
the Western Pacific holds exceedingly
valuable terminal properties on both
sides of the bay. on the San Francisco
side il has 269 acres, of which those
devoted TO the local freight terminal.
So acres in all, are in the heart OF the
city, only seven blocks from the cry

the maximum snowfall may be fifteen
or sixteen feet, thus impeding or en-
tirely blocking traffic for days at 2
time during the winter season. IN re-
aIity the success of the engineers or

The most scenic part OF the line from
the tourists standpoint is perhaps the
Feather River canyon, down which the
road passes through the Sierra Nevada
mountains. The canyon begins at

ADOCTOR CATCHES
TWO LITTLE BEARS

DIR. James Davidson, IA we'll
known practicing physician, of the
east end OF the county, captured two
cub bears on the mountains near
Rocky Cap one day last week, W hich
he has taken TO his home 10 raise.
Dr. Davidson was riding along the
road. when his horse became scared
ut large black object which was
standing in the road, and when the
doctor forced his .:orsc To app oach
the object il proved To- be large she
bear. He dismounied and tied his
horse, and was preparing to climb "a
tree, when the old bear side stepped
and was soon lost in the brush.
The doctor proceeded ON his way,
and few steps further OH he found
two cubs Playing i'm the road. He
sercured a stick and gave chase, and
the two little fellows climbed a
small sapling, and assembled as far
as the limbs would bear them. The
doctor began shaking the sappling,
and the two little bears began To
back down the tree, as is their Gus
tom when coming down tree, and
when they came close enough he
grabbed them 10y the hind legs, and
tied with grapevine, and mounted
his horse and got away in a hurry
before the old bear knew what had
happened.
IL is reported that the little bears
Offered fight, and that the doctor was
pretty bad y scratched about the
hands before he had them safely
put away.

THE EFFECT LOST.

Governor Gillett's refusal TO permit
the big prize fight within The Dor,
ders OF California would have had q
fine moral effect but for the fact thai
he refuses, not because of moral con.
slderation but because some of the
boseses at Washington notified him
that To permit the fight would, in
some way jeopardize the Panama
Exposition which San francisco
hopes To hold five years hence. This
refusal, on purely mercenary grounds,
has placed the governor i'm an unen-
viable light. However, the public
generally endorses the action of the
Governor, and would, if allowed TO
do So. vote the prize fighting clear out
of the United States forever. And
furthermore, if Johnson beats JeGries
all up and knocks him on few people
will be sorry for him.

is change in the sentiment OF the

meets on the 18th, next Tuesday, to
decide the question.
The board is composed OF Governor

erintendent of schools; Prof. J arman,
of Farmville Normal School; Prof.
Page, of the University of Virginia
Colonel Tucker, of V. NJ. l.; NJ. NJ.
Lynch, superintendent OF schools OF
Frederick county and S. II. Me-
Chesney, superintendent OF schools OF
Bristol. Eight members in all. OF
these the first three were elected by
the people, the rest appointed by the
general assembly. 10 is understood
that the three members, Governor
Mann, Mr.. Williams, and Mr.. EggIe-
ston favor n single list; The rest a
multiple list. The people Of the State
are burdened by an unnecessary book
tax. This was al brought out and
fought out i'm the last campaign. The
three members elected by the people
on the Democratic platform, which
declared for single list, are stand
ing pat, and are making fight for
the party pledge. 1t was understood,
too, certainly in this part OF the
country, that a majority OF the mem
bers of the board appointed were also
in favor OF a single list. Either the
voters were mistaken or mislead, or
tie said Apprentices have violated
thel- pledges and gone back on the
people. The state board knows that
the people demand relief from the
burdensome and unnecessary tax OF a
multiple list, and they should act
accordingly, or eslo vacate their 20
sitions and let more loyal men take
their places. Party pledges should
be regarded rs sacred rs any other
pledges, and the men who disregarded
them should he tagged so rs TO be
easily identified in the future.
