TAXPAYER WANTS TO
KNOW REASON BAD ROADS

Editors Rogue River Courier.
Gentlemen: Your paper has al
ways said much about road making,
talked about good roads, and some
of us have INDUCED the hope that
one of these pleasant sensible under
taking would mature into real active
auctual good roads.
As | was coming ip from the Ap-
plegate in close company with a cord
of oak wood aud noticing the horses
wallowing along in the pulpy sofs
roadbed, stralning every muscle to
keep moving, and the sweat rolling
of their taut limbs, fell to wonder
ing who was N charge Of this good
roads movemen: other thar the news.
papers. 1t Is not too much 20 say
that as there will be thousands OF
loads as large or larger than mine to
come to Grants Pass this fall and
winter, then who is making II easier
for the over-worked teams to do
this thing We are soon to have
more heavy rain, rain that will
come good and hard, and plenty OF
It. What do you suppose will be the
condition OF these roads to the Ap.
plegate after the rains set in in earn
est?
The road at the present time is a
mass of burrows cut In by that big
steam traction engine, and not a
single shovelful OF dirt has been
moved to the center of this turnpike
to ward off the inevitable wallowlng
In the mud all winter. A split log
drag drawn over the road or a
grader is a thing that has never,
probably, been dreamed Of by those
who are "patting themselves on the
back" for having done so much for
us, II must be evident to any sane
man that this neglect in rounding up
all the turnpikes at this time OF the
year is evidence of either ignorance
or Incidence. | would like to hear
from others who have to haul wood
as do, or lumber, on this question
and let us speak out and let the
blame rest on the proper shoulders.
You can't make good roads out OF
mud, nor when this same material Is
baked as hard as rock. Something
should be done before the roads are
cut up, II the roads that were made
passibly good during the summer
have a dressing with the split log
now Il will help them to stand the
balance OF the winter. Why not nc,
now. Yours truly.

VACATION HINTS.


Few realize how little can sustain
the body in water. One finger on a
camp chair or a small box or board
will easily keep the head above water.
while the feet and the other hand are
padding toward shore. One need not
know how to swim to keep from drown
ing. Faith In the buoyancy of water
is all you need. mi children and all
others should have practise to gain 1t;
1t will serve better IN most emergen-
cies than even experiences as a SWIM
mer. When pleasure boats capsize
everybody wants to get on top of the
overturned or half-flled boat, but 1t is
generally not large enough to keep all
entirely above water, and nearly all
are drowned. If they would trust the
water to bear ninety-nine hundredths
of their weight and the wrecked boat
the other one-hundredth they might all
be saved. An upset BOAT will keep the
head above water of as many people as
can get their hands on the gunwale,
though 1t would carry very few. Some
day these simple facts may ave your
life.

possible for anyone to enter except
through the front door, unless they
flew out of the second-story window.
Servants and workmen, like everybody

Jack was given the special duty of
looking after Mehemet Ali and his
companions during their residence in
London. 1t was his business to afford
them every assistance In his power, to
procure them police protection, obtain
for them the best advice a~ttainable in
the diamond trade, and generally place
at their disposal all the
which the British Government itself
could command II 1t undertook such a
curious task. He had been with them
about a month-not hourly engaged,
you understand, as once the prelimin-
airy arrangements were made, he had
little further trouble-but he used to
call there every morning and afternoon
to see IL he could render any assist
ance. Matters had progressed so ia
vorably until the day before yesterday,
that in another month he hoped to see
the last of them. He was always say
ing that he would be glad when the
business was ended, as he did not like
to be officially connected with the fate
of a few little bits of stone that hap
pened to be so immensely valuable"
"Did your brother call there as usual
on Monday afternoon" said Brett.
Eyes; he came straight here from
Albert Gate, and had tea with uncle
and myself. He sat in the very chair
and in the very position you now oc-
cupy. I can remember him saying:
BY jove! the hens egg'-that is what
he used to call the big diamonds
turning out in fine style He even
| discussed the possibility Of bringing us
to see the collection when 1t was fin
ished and before 1t left this country"
"Did your brother say why the dia-
monds were brought to this country in
the first %instance?"
Eyes; the Sultan and his advisers
seemed to think the work Of cutting
them could be performed more safely
and expeditiously here thar anywhere
else. Even the Turk has a high regard
for the manner in which law and order
are maintained In Britain. Yet the
SEQUEL has shown that the diamonds
and their guardians were perhaps in
greater danger here than they would
have been in Constantinople.'
WAS that the only r%eason?" said
Brett. who a apparently made UP his
mind with reference to the pattern of
the carpet, and was now gazing into
the bright fire which danced merrily in
the CRATE, for the day, though fine. was
chilly.
The girl wrinkled her brow in
thought before she answered.: IT think
I do remember Jack saying hat he be-
lieved there was some State business
mixed up in the affair, but l am quite
sure he did not know the exact facts
himself"
'.Can you recollect any Of the special
precautions taken to protect the gems ?
Your brother may have mentioned
some details In conversation, you
