ENGINEER BERRY'S PLAN.

The plan submitted by County En-
gineer Berry for the improvement of
Chelan county roads by creating i'm
provement districts is one worth seri
Gus consideration. Under the county
engineers plan those localities which
would profit most by road improve
ment would be required to bear the
burden of expense while connecting
links through sparsely settled dis
tricts would be constructed by means
of county funds provided by bond
of roads could be obtained which
would be a credit to the county with
the burden of expense equitably dis
tributed in proportion to correspond
ing benefits.
The problem of road construction
in locality like Chelan county is es-
sentially different from that in cOun-
ties where conditions are uniform. 1t
requires more careful planning, more
attention to detail and the voluntary
cooperation of the different com.
munities with the county engineers
department. The idea of a unified
system must not be lost sight of and
unless the supervision is lodged
in some particular authority, the
most satisfactory results cannot be
obtained.
Douglas and OkanOgan counties
are maturing plans for road improve
ment, and when Chelan and Grant
counties decide finally on a definite
policy. north central Washington will
make history more rapidly by reason
of improved facilities for intercom-
munication. There is nothing which
tends to raise civic standards more
than the disposition to wrestle with
local problems and by cooperation
and some immediate sacrifice lay the
foundations for a greater industrial
development. The road problem Is
one worthy the serious consideration
of every one interested in the pros
perity of this part of the state.

VIEW POINTS OF THE PRESS
The Clothes We Wear.

For the moral and ultimate finan-
cial welfare of all of us, it is I'M
satisfactory to say that people are
learning to wear their clothes longer.
This, however, is not encouraging to
patriotic wooden manufacturers who
have devoted time and money to Sc
curing an ideal tariff schedule-ideal,
that is to say, from their point OF
view. The vitality of the tariff is
shown in the wooden and cotton
goods trades, and there is, through
out the country, an abiding resent
ment both at the advance in prices
of those commodities and the shock
ing deterioration in quality. Thanks
to period of high tariff which was
not even the protection of infant in
dustries it pretended to be, we have
established an international reputa-
ton for the manufacture of rubbish.
Ruskin was not considered very

The Railroad Bill.

A united republican vote yester-
day passed the administration rail-
road bill. To be sure there were
some changes, but the essential fea-
lures of the measure, as conceived
by the president, remain undisturbed
During the discussion of the matter
much partisan feeling was aroused,
but when it came to final vote, IA
democratic representatives supported
it. There's no question that it is bet
ter than the existing statutes or lack
of them. The provision whereby rail-
road stocks and bonds are placed I'M
der control of the interstate COM
merce commission, and the clause
providing for a physical valuation of
the roadside purport of all the
provisions being to prevent stock wa
tering and railroad juggling,-are
worth all the effort that has been put
forth to secure the passage Of the
bill.-Everett Herald.

We all love to see the rainbow, and
we know that 1t is formed by the sun
shining through the moisture In the
atmosphere, but mythology has differ
ent theories for its existence.
The Scandinavians thought it was a
celestial bridge by which the gods
passed to and fro. 1t was doomed to
break down at the last day. Children
are stin sometimes told that II they
will walk to the spot from which the
rainbow springs they will find a pot
Of gold. There was an idea that the
rainbow drew up water by means of
two golden dishes, which 1t sometimes
let fall and which were secured by
lucky finders. A Black forest legend
asserted that the rainbow drew its wa
ter by q golden goblet and that a shoe
thrown into a rainbow would return
filed with gold.
In Servia the folks used to say that
to pass beneath rainbow changed the
sex-made a man a woman or the re-
verse.
The Suabians when there is a double
rainbow say that it is the devil try
ing to initiate the work of God.
OF course we are all familiar with
the story Of the rainbow In the Bible,
where it symbolizes Gods promise to
Noah that mankind sAosld never again
be visited with so terrible q food.

Protect Food From Flies.

Baltimore Sun: Foodstuffs are
set in the local markets, and before
some of the small grocery and provi-
sion stores, without the slightest pro-
lection from filth and insects. In the
hot weather they are covered with
buzzing flies, and all the year round
they are heavy with the dust Of the
street. In the case of potatoes, tur-
nips, oranges, bananas and other
such fruits and vegetables no harm
Is done, for the skins are removed
before eating; but in the case of ber-
ries, pickles, bread, candies, cherries
and other ready-to-eat provisions
there is very grave danger of trans
hitting diseases. The intestinal
maladies of summer, for example,
are practically all caused by con-
taminated food.

THE T r MARKET.

:. NEW YORK, March 10.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance OF
S04 points on near months, which were
Influenced by steady cables, but at a
decline of 1d2 points on new crop posi-
tons, owing to reports of scattering
rains in Texas. The market was active
and excited at first owing to an urgent
demand from near month shorts and
aggressive bull support. May quickly
advanced to 1880, or IS points net
higher. while later positions sold up 10
a net gain of about coli points, but a
good deal of cotton came out IN the
bulge, and the market later was sew
era1 points off from the best.
Trading was much less active during
the late forenoon and bull support was
less in evidence. but near months
shorts showed signs of continued I'M
easiness and prices ruled steady at a
net advance Of about 6G12. points. Pri-
vate wires from Texas claim that the
rains are not sufficient to modify the
new crop outbreak.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Early trading
in the wheat pit today was on a ner-
vous basis. opening figures being from
u off to Is up. influential concerns
were active in ~disposing of September
and acquiring the July option. In the
first hour prices generally fell off from
the opening figures and then rallied
slightly, resting for May and July at
about yesterdays close, with Septem-
Der fractionally off. Crop damage re-
ports from Southwestern fields were
again numerous and emboldened bulls
to attempt to crowd prices UP. May
sank to 1l2% after opening at 1881 to
l1sA, n rested at the rally at about
113A. Opening prices for the nearby
month were Il to Is up.
Later in the session the market
sagged again. May going down to 1I21ss,
the other futures. under the influence
of a lessened demand also fell off, the
fluctuations being ia to 15s. Toward
the close the market stiffened slightly.
final figures being about midway be-
tween the high and the low point. May
closed q down at lis.
Corn prices started from a shade to
IS higher, and under some selling pres
sure sagged a trife. In the first hour
a fair demand brought the figures gen.
orally back to yesterdays closing level,
where the market steadied. The large
Accommodations of stocks was a bearish
factor which gave the bulls much con-
Germ. May travelled down from 81 to
GSh@6S%, and then gained a fraction.
Opening figures for May were a shade
to HOS up, at 63G 10 "a.
Later in the session the speculative
demand became less pronounced and
May dropped off TO 62I, the other
futures travelling downward with it.
Tho close was weak at not far from the
low, with March ss@ts off at 6SA.
In the oats pit trading was within
narrow limits and showed a little firm
ness, with the cash concerns leading
the buying. Opening figures were I'M
changed to Il higher. and in the first
hour prices held generally steady. At
the start May was a shade to 1s@A up,
at IS 60 45iS.
Provisions opened sharply higher,
gaining from S to 25, May pork leading
with a top at $3.50. Advanced pri0s
for live hogs was the controlling factor
in the upturn. The sharp advance vas
met by liberal selling by the longs. and
in the first hour the crest of the market
receded. Opening figures for the May
products were: Pork, $3.50 to $3.50;
