One of the evidences OF the attain
ment of high civilization by commun-
tiles is the building and maintaining
OF first class roads. Rome, whose ad
ministration of law and government
stands out most prominently CT all
ancient nations, realized that good
roads were necessary adjunct to its
administrat On. Aside from the nse cf
their great J Ugh ~ays, fer military pur
poses their perfect road ways tended
to bring it into closer touch the most
distant parts of the empire and served
as arteries through which flowed the
The roads built by the Romans in
Great Britain and France are still in
evidence end show that they were built
for the future and not the then present.
Our state is awakening to the impor-
tance of this great problem. The whole
c )untry is aroused to the necessity Of
affsrding safe, convenient and permap-
ent means Of communication between
the urban and suburban population.
Good roads cheaper the cost of hauling
and transportation; bring communities
closer together. 1t is estimated that
| the saving in wear and tear on vehicles
and the transportation CT larger loads
peore than pays for their initial cost and
maintenance.
In order to arouse interest in this
great problem, it has been deemed ad-
visable that statewide road confer
ence be called to meet in Jackson on
October 25th and 26th. 1911.
Wishing to emphasize the impor ia Z ce
of this gathering and to give my hearth
est endorsement to it l hereby issue
my proclamation designating October
25th, 1911, as the date for Statewide
Road Conference. l earnestly urge
that a large delegation from every
section Of the state attend and sug-
gest that they be designated as fol-
lows: .s
Ten delegates to be appointed by
each supervisor; ten by the mayor OF
each village; twenty five by the mayo
of towns; ten to be appointed by the
aldermen in cities, from their ward, and
twenty-five by the mayor from the city
at large; the president of each local OF
| the Farmers Union is urged to name
five men from his local and the county
president twenty five from the county
at large. Every Industrial, business
agricultural, horticultural or live stock
organization is asked to name at least
one man for every ten members. 1t is
also urged that all state, county and
municipal officers attend.
Parties appointing delegates, or de-
string to attend will please correspond
with Hon. II. E. Blake slee, Jackson

HENRY L. MYERS.

Henry l.. Myers, the successor OF
the late Thomas H. Carter as United
States senator from Montana, was
born in Bonneville, Mo-, October 8,
1862, and was educated in the public
schools of his native town. He worked
on his fathers farm, taught school, be-
came a newspaper man and finally a
lawyer. He was admitted to practice
In the supreme court Of Missouri at
the age of % and practiced for some
time at Bonneville and West Plains.
In 1893 he went to Montana and open
ed q law Office in the town of Hamil-
ton. He was elected county attorney in
Bavilh County in 1894 and reelected
two years later. In 1898 he was elected
State senator on the Democratic tick
ct. In the senate Mr.. Myers confined
his attention largely to measures aim
ing at the reform Of judicial procedure
After his retirement from the senate
he was elected district judge. His
election to the United States senate
last spring was something of sur
prise as he was in no sense an active
candidate for the honor.

SINGING SANDS.
Peculiar Properties Of Those Curious
Freaks Of Nature.

Peculiar Properties Of Those Curious
Freaks Of Nature.
The most notable of those curious
freaks Of nature, singing sands" are
those of the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
When a small quantity of this sand is
clapped between the hands it is said to
give forth q sound so shrill as actually
to resemble boot. Put into bag and
violently shaken, the sand emits a
noise strangely like the bark Of dog.
Similar sands also occur in the Colo
RADIO desert. where also are to be found
those curious nonsedentary sands that
continually travel hither and thither
over the vast plain of clay. Their
movements are induced by the winds.
and when strong breeze is blowing
the particles Of which they are COM
posed give out an audible humming or
singing.
Under the microscope these sands
show an almost perfectly spherical
form, so that they roll upon each other
at the slightest impulse, circum-
stance that also accounts for the rapid
ity with which the sands travel over
the desert. One theory advanced with
respect to the "singing" Of these sands
Is that it Is due to an exceedingly thin
film Of gas that covers the grains
Gathered and removed from the desert,
the sands lose their vocal properties

A SHIP IN A STORM.

The Peril When Wind and Water Rage
In Opposite Directions.
In a storm at sea, with a gale blow
ing in one direction and the sea run
ming in the opposite direction, it takes
a stanch ship to stand the water pres
sure on one side and the contrary wind
pressure on the other.
Stability Is one Of the greatest prob
lens to the constructor Of a steamship.
Naturally the center Of gravity should
be low. The hull must be Of such a
form that when the vessel rolls to one
side the center of buoyancy shall move
sufficiently far to that same side for
the forces of buoyance acting upward
to right the vessel.
A badly designed ship is liable to
many dangers. If light in the stern the
screw may come out Of the water, race
and be snapped OF. If too low in the
stern when running before a storm
breaking waves may fall on board and
SO tend to swamp the vessel. A ship
may be topheavy: there comes a mo-
ment when the upward force Of buoy
ancy no longer tends to right the ship.
but instead exerts its force in pushing
the ship still farther out Of perpendicu-
lar. with the result that she capsizes.-

House building in the Shan States is
not such an easy matter as it looks.
Mrs. Leslie Milne, author Of ''Shans al
Home" tells how she arranged for the
building Of bamboo house at Nam
khan, and, though the materials ar
rived, no progress seemed to be made
with the actual constructions:
when l first spoke of house build
ing l had been asked what to me
seemed an irrelevant Question-namely.
the day Of the week on which l was
born. When 1 answered that it was
late on Saturday night or early on
Sunday morning l did not know that
my reply was Of importance. AS time
went on and the bamboos lay I'm
touched, looking like long green snakes
in the grass, complained Of the delay
only to be told that until l could tell
them my birthday they were afraid to
begin work. as the spirits would be
angry If the offerings for the prope:
day were not made.
II suggested that the building should
begin. l Drawing the anger Of the spir
its. but they thought the work toe
dangerous. as the risk was not onl!
for me, but for the workmen as well
On consulting n wise man a way was
found out of the difficulty. He de
creed that an extra large offering to
content the spirits of both Saturday
and Sunday should be made. This
was done, and the building commenced
next day."

of Charles w. Morse, the New York
financier, serving a fifteen-year SEN
tence in the Federal penitentiary here,
came up again today before the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals in
this city. In the present proceeding
it is contended that Morse should
have been sentenced on but one count
of his indictment and that he should
have been sent to New York Jail
instead of to the penitentiary, where
hard work is required. Federal Judge
Newman ruled adversely on this con-
tention some time ago, but an appeal
was taken.
