The present board of supervisors

Among other thing that the state
Inspector spoke of the fact that
the Lee county no is among the

In speaking with Supervisors

ed that the board of supervisors is
now prepared to improve III main
roads leading to the city, and keokuk
halls with joy the action of Mr..
Brinkman and his worthy colleagues,
in improving the very necessary as
sets to increased business-the roads.

Supervisor Brinkman has made ar
rangements to commence in few

the old plank road, which leads out
as far as Summitville.
The present law provides that the
county shall be entitled to one-haf of

The Johnson street road, an excel
lently graded road, is to be treated
with macadam and with each sue
ceeding year, the appropriation for
county road work will be judiciously
spent by the supervisors in putting
all roads leading to Keokuk in the
best possible condition.
The Johnson, or Hicks road, as it
is known, will be extended from
time to time and macadamized, as it
is one of the principal suburban

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe testified the other day before the Massachusetts legislative committee which is investi- gating the milk situation. While giv- ing her testimony she refused the chair offered by the committee and remained standing at the head of the witness table. In making her plea for pure milk Mrs Howe said:
 There are several parties to the milk situation, and I think the prin- cipal party is the child in the cradle There is no substitute for milk in rearing children. It is a matter of life and death and should not take long to settle.

Saturday night the gavels of Speaker Cannon and Vice President Sherman fell in the house and senate and con gress adjourned sine die. More than a billion dollars of the peoples mon ey, to be raised in large part by the Payne-Ald1ich tariff act, has oeen appropriated for various works, pub lie and otherwise.
 The session died in song in the house; in solemn silence in the senate chamber. There was a waving oi handkerchiefs, rustling of summer draperies, and mild applause from the feminine spectators for Uncle Joe Cannon.
 In the senate broad grins of relief spread over the faces of the senators and there was a mighty stretching ot arms an as indication of relief from tension and strain.
 The session that died so quietly has been important, though stormy. Open ing with promise of bitter conten tentions that would stifle legislative activity and smother legislation, il closed with list of important legis- lative enactments to it's credit that has set a new record for single session of congress. President Taft won all along the line. His railroad bill, statehood bill, campaign publicity bill, conservation bill and postal say ings bank bill have been enacted into law Besides these, he has approved a $52,000,000 river and harbor i'm provement bill and a good-sized pub lie buildings bill, but he registered a protest against the pork barrel bills, which have been permitted to pass unnoticed for some years.
 The total cost of the Sixtieth con gress was about S2,0S0,0O0,00o. and it is believed that the cost of the Sixty first congress will not be far short of this amount.
 The most spectacular feature of the Pinchot investigation. This was un- dertaken by a special committee of congress to inquire into relations of Secretary Ballinger with the disposal of valuable mineral and coal lands in Alaska, as we'll as an investigation of his policy in dealing with oil, mineral, coal and water power sites on the public domain in the continental United States. Clifford Pinchot, for mer chief forester, attacked Secre- tary Ballinger as an enemy to conser- vation, as the policy of dealing with public lands has come to be known, and was separated from the govern ment service by President Taft. Since then, much bitterness has been eyi- denced by partisans of the secretary and Mr. Pinchot, and the hearings were characterized by sensational in cidents that ecl.psed interest in the work of congress.
 Then came Representative Martin S charges of bad management in the Philippines, followed with a sensa- ton in the dying hours of the session caused by Senator Cores announce ment that a bribe had been offered him in connection with the disposal of the lands of the five civilized tribes of Indians in Oklahoma.
