GOOD ROADS FOR
UTAH ASSURED


CONGRESSMAN Joseph Howell and
Professor Richard Il. Lyman. vice
chairman OF the state road commits
sion, seem 10 be making progress in
the efforts they are putting forth 10
induce the people OF the state to build
earth roads.
They have distributed 10000 bulle.
tins containing information on the
methods OF building earth roads, the
cost of their construction. the various
means and methods In use TO maintain
them. the cost OF these various proc
esseS. and the results these eXpendl-
lures bring. The bulletins sent out
are those published by the engineering
experiment station OF the University
OF Utah, and several issued by good
roads department of Washington, ID, l.
Perhaps nowhere In the state has
this literature been moro effective
thus far than in Sanpete county. The
county commissioners and the road
commissioners are all thoroughly con-
verted to the earth road idea.
c. r. Alfred Of Chester, the chair
man of the board, and one of the most
enthusiastic of good roads men, stated
the condition in Snnpete county about
like this: I'VE have in this county
some 400 miles of public highways.
To place upon all OF these roads a
macadam coating of the best quality
would cost about $4,000 2 mile. max
ing a total cost of $6.0o000 Half OF
the whole assessed valuation of the
county would not pay for this con-
strucuoD.
Maintenance Expensive.
further" Mr.. Alfred continued, i
have been informed that the macadam
road in Ogden canyon costs Weber
county, on an average. some $500 per
mile per year for maintenance. II this
is true. and Sanpete county had Its
roads already macadamized. at this
same rate, 1t would require. TO keep
these roads in repair. an annual eX'
penditure of 100000, an amount far
beyond the annual paying capacity of
Sanpete county for road purposes,
Those who accept the general invi
tauon sent out by the county commits
slonere OF Sanpete county TO attend
the road convention to be held at
Ephraim Saturday. May H. will havel
an opportunity to give thcee roads a
careful inspection.

oS-TE-oP-A-THY

How reasonable comes the explana-
tion of osteopathy to the mind that
has lost its prejudice! Familiar forms
OF speech confirm the reason able
ness OF Osteopathic theory. People
speak of being under a nervous
tension" of being frozen with hor-
ror," of feeling the "heart rising in
the throat" etc., all of which are
ldlomatic EXPIRE ssions of scientific
facts. The" indicate q common know
ledge cf the fact that nerve activ-
dty or excitability reacts upon the
muscles of the body and throws
them into contraction. The man
who examines himself just as he is
recovering from strong nervous
tension finds that he was lust as
truly und r muscular tension, that
he has been sitting with drawn
muscles, clinched hands. bated
breath. He rolaxes, sometimes col
lapses after the strain is past.

Teachers Institute
Largely Attended
Best Ever Held In County-Annual
Meet May Be Held At
Pendleton.

The most largely attended and
one of the best local institutes ever
in the county say the teachers in re-
gard to the meeting of the Wallowa
County Teachers association held in
this city Saturday. The splendid
program was carried out practically
as published and the various papers,
demonstrations and talks were Of
great value to all. The music was
an enjoy yable feature of both ses-
sions.
Prof. A. H. Yoder Of Joseph was
elected president, and Miss Stella
NJ. Hooper of Joseph reelected Sec
retary and treasurer.
The teachers present were much
in favor of holding the 1910 annual
institute in Pendleton at the time of
the meeting of the Eastern oregon
Division Of the State Teachers as
sociaton. Umatilla, Union and Bak-
er counties will hold their annual
institutes in Pendleton at that time
and Wallowa county has been invit-
ed to do likewise. 1t would mean
great educational privilege for
the teachers, at but little more ex-
pense than if the institute was held
within the county.
A local institute will be held at
Flora probably in the latter part of
May.

vUSC0V|CH HEARING Man Charged With Stabbing Wife Unable to Make
 Bond of $500

Pete Vuskovich, arrested Saturday night on charge of having stabbed his wife, was yesterday arraigned before Judge Hinson Thomas, on charge of assault to commit murder.
 Bail of the defendant was fixed at $500. He was unable to give the nee essary sureties and was remanded to custody.
 Since the tragic affair of Saturday night, it has developed that Mrs. Vuko- vich is more seriously wounded than was at first believed. The wound in fiicted in her back with a candlestick has so far failed to heal properly and in addition, it has developed that the woman was seriously beaten, either be- fore or after receiving her other injur- ies. Her condition is still serious, al though her physicians hope for her ulti- mate recovery.

MISSOURI RIVER
 RATE CASE UP Involves Power of Commis- sion to Designate Ger
 tain Charges

WASHINGTON, D. C., April D. Arguments began before the supreme court today in the famous Missouri river rate case, which involves the rate making power of the interstate com merce commission.
 On behalf of the commission, Wade Ellis, special assistant attorney gen eral, defended the order reducing the rate between the Mississippi river and Missouri river as applied to shipments from seaboard points to Missouri river cities. This order was set aside by the United States circuit court for the Northern District of Illinois, as beyond the power of the commission, as it discriminated against shippers east of the Mississippi, but not in seaboard ter ritOry.
 Ellis cOntended that the courts could not set aside rates made by the com mission when just and reasonable in themselves.
