TALK OF GOOD ROADS.


This will constitute primary course
in road building. When the best
methods Of construction are aScer-
tanned and standardized and such
standards are required to be fol-
lowed, then we can expect subStan-
tial results in road building
TO secure effective results there
must be harmony of action between
State and county authorities. The
initiative and incentive to road i'm
provement will come from State
wide agitation. This is the under
lying motive of the State-aid laws.
Whatever objection may he urged
against the present method of eX-
pending the State-aid funds, there
remains no doubt rs 10 the need of
such funds to secure needed activity
in the Improvement OF county roads.
Whether the present pan of eX-
penditure be retained, or the money
be expended under local authority,
or otherwise, will depend very large
ly on the result of an investigation to
be made by a special legislative com
mittee to consist of one member from
each county in the State to report at
the next meeting of the State As
ISOLATION to be held at Walla Walla
next November.

vited to interpret, although there is
necessarily no promise of being
clothed with scarlet or having a
chain of gold placed around the neck
for recompense, though possibly q
promise of being a third ruler" in
the kingdom may be available. The
mysterious sentence reads: emit

Councilman Mackay became the Gus

Tor. OF the Oxford. for renewal of IL
cense, and of Guy Rathbun, a similar
amount to pay for renewal for his

this just tallies in amount with the
Taylor check, which is the sum

1909, a period of little over three
months and that the Rathbun saloon
has been doing business without IL
cense, simply because the money had
not been paid either Clerk or Treas
urer. Mackay says that he cannot
remember whether the money of one
saloon has been appropriated to pay
the license for another, or not,
but from the above statement it
would appear so, and in that event
Mr.. Ms conscience fund should have
been increased to little over 2, 1000
plunks to make even.

ment does not meet the facts at ALL
Suppose that gentleman should have
died, or gone on a trip around the
world, or meet with any other "short-

fairs of life, where would our poor
little city have been when it came to
an accounting?
Under the circumstances, we think
that the Mayor and Councilmen
Crosby, Wertheim and BridgefOrd
are entitled to credit for application
of a "corkscrew" to expedite resti-
tuition at this time. and we are glad
that the door has been closed to any
such possible future peculation.

LEAVING A DEED IN ESCROw.-An
aged gentleman living near this city
on his homestead, being small
tract OF land, with his adult son,
while in poor health several months
ago executed a deed of this real es-
tate to this sou, placed the instru-
ment in one of our banks with in
structions to be delivered to his son
at the time of his death. which he ex-
pected at that time to be near at
hand. Subsequently disagreements
arose between the two parties which
have been discussed pretty generally
among their respective friends, par
ticularly among those of the old gen
tleman, whose health has since i'm
proved and he recently wanted to
withdraw the deed from the bank S
custody, who refused to deliver it
without the sons consent, which at
latest accounts had not been OBJ
tanned. 1t is always advisable to be
careful about entering into such ar
engagements, because owing to a
change of circumstances, serious dis
putes are apt to arise between rela-
tives. However. such matters ought
not to come before the courts for ad-
justment. which would likely engen-
der hard feelings between kindred
and cause expense over property of
no great value.

The average American citizen does

cause, at first, assessments for local
improvements are often harsh and

it might not be q bad idea to provide
