Los Angeles. Cal, July 2S.-Since
the press Of practically every state in
the Union is devoting more or less
of its space to agitating the subject of
good roads, it may not be regarded
as an untimely theme for this COM
munication, which will briefly chroni-
Gle the observations of your cores
pondent where the good roads senti-
ment finds its fullest expression.
California, far famed for its match
less summer weather, the magnitude
of its undertakings and magnificence of
Its accomplishments, furnishes on
most comprehensive scale the incalcul-
able beneficial relations of good roads
to the progress, development and en-
richment of the community that builds
and maintains them.
California, in proportion to its in
habited area, probably has the great
est mileage of the best roads that the
genius of the age has made it posi-
BILE to construct, of any state of the
Union.
Famed by breezes from the Pacific
ocean and the snow capped Sierras, it
can rightfuIly boast of the most de-
lightful summers of any section of the
United States. Traversed by a verit-
able net work of not merely good
roads, but the very best that it is pos
sible to build, travel over the high
ways of California, the leader in pro-
gressive thought and energy, makes
an impression upon the visitor that
myers in memory long after many of
Ter charming beauties have been for
gotten.
Business men in Los Angeles, many
of them, have homes five to forty
five miles In every direction from the
city to which they go after business
hours every day in autos, requiring
only from few minutes to less than
two hours, to cover the short to long
est distances.
A Need of Mississippi.
When contemplating the great good
roads work that has already been ac-
complished here, with no abatement of
lavish expenditures to continue opera
tions, the writer becomes more i'm
pressed than ever before, with not

chaps down South who clamor for du-
ties on raw materials. They pretend
to punish the manufacturers; but they

Bailey, Simmons, Martin Brantley and
Underwood are all of the same lump
of clay that produced old Dave Graves,
and Champ Clark has Joined them and
is cheek by jowl with them.
They are getting ready to kick pro-
lection out of the North and when
protection dies in the last ditch, as all
error must, that ditch will be found
in the Virginias, the Carolinas, Geor-
gia, Florida, Tennessee and Louisiana.
Within ten years Massachusetts will
be as much of a free trade state as
Kentucky or Mississippi, and by that
time North Carolina and Georgia will
be the battle-ground for free trader and
protectionist, though both are cotton
states and it is to the direct and pos
tive advantage of the cotton planter
to have absolute free trade with all
the world.
Is 1t thinkable that the cotton South
is going to repeat the error of 1896,
when they Joined in that 16 to 1
frenzy? Then the price of the South's
great staple was fixed in the gold mar
ket of Liverpool and the South in
sisted on buying at prices fixed on a
silver market. For folly 1t surpassed
even my old friend, Dave Graves. And
here is the South clamoring for man.
ufactories, and yet Southern states
men, by tariff duties on raw mater
ials, would repulse those enterprises
and confine manufacturing to the
North. If Congress would put on the
free list all raw materials, such as
vol, dye-stuffs, coal and what not, CAPT.
tai would rush to the South by the bill
lion to engage in manufacturing be-
cause Of the immense natural adyant-
ages Of that section. You can winter
family at Huntsville, Ala, or Spart-
anburg, s. c., for 60 per cent of the
cost Of food, clothing and shelter in
Manchester, N. H., or Bango, Me. And
thus skilled white labor will flock to
the South as soon as Congress takes
the shackles off trade and emancipates
the young giant, our great republic.
Has the cotton planter calmly re-
Elected that the tariff is not for him
and cannot be made for him? Has the
cotton planter reflected that as to raw
materials Bailey and Aldrich. Sim
mons and Penrose, Martin and Lori
mer, Brantley and Cannon, are in ex-
act accord but assign different reas-
ons? Our Southern protectionists put
it on the Ben Tillman ground that the
South is entitled to her share of the
stealing, a horrible idea, that, if uni
versally practiced, would not leave one
honest man or one chaste woman
above ground. Your Northern protc-
Zionist puts it on the ground of the
golden rule-that protection is a good
thing, but all should share it.
But he is fooling you, for he knows
that the moment raw materials are
free he must surrender all the protec-
ton that shields him from compe-
tition with the foreign manufacturer.
Unshackle the young giant.

MAKES BUNDLE
Of MONEY
H. L. VanBenschoten and C..
L. Staley Sell Their Lands
In North Dakota
WILL VISIT MICHIGAN
Lived In the Wilds of the West Six
Years-May Go Further West

Word has just reached relatives and
friends that after residence of six
years in lonely part Of North Dakota,
Harvey l.. VanBenschoten, lawyer and
farmer, is about to quit that locality
with a nice little bundle of money.
He will probable go farther west,
though not until he has visited his
Michigan relatives and friends. Clar-
ence Staley, his brother-in-law, has
also disposed of his holdings near
Krem, N. d., and will probably come
home, for short time, at least.
Mr.. VanBenschoten, who is a lawyer
OF ability, came TO the conclusion, a
few years ago, that there were better
opportunities in taking up farm lands.
He and his relatives filed claims for a
number OF acres and when Harvey sold
the Sebewa farm he bought lands close
to his claims, so in the sale which has
just taken place he had $50 acres to
turn over to the Wisconsin buyers, who
are to established a colony near Krem.
The land has become very valuable and
brought good price.
There were no social or educational
advantages, out on the ranch, and it is
only recently that railroad has been
built within reaching distance of the
town. 1t is still six miles away. But
that beats sixty.
Mr.. Van nBenchoten was appointed u.
5. land commissioner when he first set
tied near Krem and later was elected
comfy Judge, a position which he held
until quite recently. He will doubt
less be glad TO get back into civilization
through the experience has been prof.
table.
Mrs. VanBenschoten is daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Staley, of Portland
and expects to spend the winter with
her parents.
The many friends Of Mr.. Van Bensch-
oten and Mr.. Staley will be pleased 10
hear of their good fortune.

Helped Pave Greenville

Frank II. Bulls, the hustling propri-
etor of the Belding Marble and Granite
Works, purchased a fine auto few
months ago and takes much delight IN
looking around the country in quest of
new jobs or setting jobs already secured.
Frank also has little weakness for
speed when his hand rests on the
sparker to his machine and sometimes
forgets just how the statute regarding
speed on public highways reads.
He had occasion to visit Greenville
one day last week, and while enjoying
the beautiful paved streets of that city
slipped his speed promoter few points
too far, the little Ford was making
lively time over the paved street when
he was suddenly confronted by one of
the city's active policemen who COM
manded him TO halt, which he did as
soon rs he could bring the flyer TO
stand still. Mr.. Bulls was invited TO
accompany the officer to local mag
istrate who soaked him S4.75, probably
for the improvement of the city roads.
a few days later Frank visited Pine
Island lake where some of his friends
were fishing and ii is claimed that they
were not exactly satisfied with the
soaking he received at Greenville, and
picked him up bodily and soaked him
in the cool waters of the pretty lake.

The funeral service over the remains
of Ray Il. Scott was held in the NJ. +.
church Friday and was largely attend
ed. Members of the Barraca Sunday
School class Of which he was member
and of the young ladies class known as
the Philathea class of forty two men,
bers were present in a body.
The bearers, members of his Sunday
School class, were Charles Hollenbeck,
Wallace Helm, Guy Eddy, Warren
Maxwell, Leon Forman and Will Peck.
Many beautiful flowers silent tributes
of high esteem covered the casket.
Rev. CIV. Maxwell delivered very
impressive sermon and read the follow
ing obituary:
Ray 4. Scott, son of Jason and Olive
Scott was born in Grattan, Mich. Aug.
|, 1891, where he lived until Jan. 1909,
when he came with his parents TO Beld-
ing. Brought up in blessed home
where love reigned almost supreme, he
grew not only TO manhood, but in the
hearts of all who knew him. In April
of the same year he was converted in
the Hart and Magann MEETINGS, and
soon manifested remarkable religious
development, taking keen interest in
al the church services bringing young
men with him. In Oct. 1910, during
the Kerr Bros. revival he led his father,
mother, sister and her husband TO the
Altar, telling his father that night on
his way home that he was the happiest
Scott in the world. He talked and
worked with many others who became
converted i'm the meetings. One even
ing he told me he had written his
grandparents telling them the good
news and urging them to seek Jesus for
the salvation of their souls, on Sun
day evening he told me he had some
good news TO tell me, that he had re-
ceived very encouraging letter from
them and said, brother Maxwell we are
all going to be christians.
On Jan. following he went TO Big
Rapids TO attend the Ferris Institute
and said he was going TO try and make
a useful man of himself. He at once
began attending all of the church SER
vices there, taking an active part, and
soon endeared himself to the people and
especially TO the pastor, Rev. Hugh
Kennedy. On Monday, May 8, he be-
came ill and was taken TO Mercy hos
pital where everything that love and
medical skill could do was done, but on
Wednesday, May II, at three o'clock in
the morning he was translated to his
heavenly home, God seing fit to pro-
mote him much higher than any posi-
ton earth had TO bestow.
He leaves father, mother, brother,
Clayton, sister, Mable Men Naughton,
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson
grandmother Scott, besides many other
near relatives and host of friends.
His brief christian life shows what
christian can do who obeys God. In
his note book was found written this
passage from John 8. 4. 81 must work
tho works of Him that sent me while il
is day, for the night cometh when no
man can work."
