Best Material for Heavy Traffic.
The great increase i'm motor traffic
has made it necessary for the govern,
ing bodies of cities and the country
roads authorities to secure the best
surface to accommodate such traffic.
In the city Of Westminster, which in
cludes some of the busiest streets in
the central part Of London, it has
been found that the most serviceahle
material to withstand the wear and
tear of heavy motor traffic is the Or
binary wood paving and rock asphalt.
the cost of which i'm London is about
1921 per yard. This material has been
used in the Strand, along which heavy
motor omnibuses and heavily laden
vans and trucks in great numbers pass
daily. and it has not been renewed for
/ ten years. A prominent municipal en-
/ gineer remarks:
The advantages of wood paving and
rock asphalt in the case of heavy trat-
fc are that they are exceedingly dur
able. noiseless, easily washed and re-
paired. and perfectly sanitary. For
country roads l should recommend the
use of tar paving, which costs only 49
cents a yard"

tics. but when it was pointed GU that
this was a business, not a political,
position, wherein he might be of
much service to the state, and Grays
Harbor, he consented.
Mr.. Miller has been a resident of
the state about nine years, and of
Aberdeen about three years, and he
is recognized by all who enjoy his
acquaintance as man of rare exec
utive ability, winning personality
and splendid business capacity, who
as railroad commission, would fill the
position with honor to himself and
credit to the state. 1t is said today,
that Governor Hay is favorably con-
sidering the appointment of Mr.. Miller,
and that it may be announced Sat
urday next.

as trustee, on October / last, held for
these funds $S,752771.62 in state
municipal and school district bonds
and $376,366.45 in cash awaiting in
vestment. Eventually these funds
will reach the enormous amount of
nearly $100,000,000, which the state
must forever hold inviolate, the in
come only being distributed.
In handling this money the state
must consider both the safety and in
come from the investments made. So
far there has been little difficulty
finding investments, the rapidly grow
ing communities Offering plenty of
bonds for various purposes. However,
during the past year the board has
been forced to buy bonds only draw
ing to Az per cent and this con-
dition is likely to rapidly increase,
unless the money can be invested in
farm mortgages. In this form of in
vestment the money could earn per
cent
In this state, the most good would
come if the money belonging to these
funds could be made available in
helping actual settlers clear logged
off or sagebrush lands. Could the
state extend a helping hand to the
actual settler safely from these funds?
Ten acres of such lands having a good
soil will comfortably support fami-
ly. Five hundred dollars in cash,
with the settlers labor, should do
this with modern methods.
Enact a law under which the state
board apportions to each county its
share of money it may SO invest
from time to time. Make it's use OPP
tional with each county, and the coun-
ty itself responsible for all money
used, by an authorized county board
composed of, say, the chairman of
the board of commissioners, the SUI
perintendent of schools and the coun-
ty engineer. Under proper lmita-
tons and regulations this might be
safely done and these funds made
double blessing.

The Threatened Invasion

The leaders of the Industrial Work
ers of the World have become desper-
ate at the successful plan adopted by
Aberdeen to thwart their designs on
that if the success here be recognized
they will have to look for a new job,
which may mean real work, hence the
attempt to organize a fresh invasion
that will overwhelm the city and sub
jugate it.
In furtherance of this design, they
have flooded the cities of the coun-
try with flaming red dodgers, calling
for 5000 men to come to Aberdeen
the city whose Jail feeds through
a fire hose. This dodger sets forth
that the constitution has been abro-
gated in this city, and the army of
workers GU are required to drive us
back into the union; that pimps, gam
blers, thugs and Office holders are eX-
ercising mob rule here, an intolera
BILE condition that requires their pres
ence to remove.
The wilful lying in this red dodger
reveals that fact that the leaders are
in desperate straits, and that to hold
their dupes, the passions of the ig
norant and minimizing must be arous-
ed. 1t matters not to those grafters
upon labor that their misguided fol
lowers will suffer, in travelling with
out money in the winter season. They
know, but care not, that their entire
membership, said to be $1,000, would
not be permitted to subdue Aberdeen.
They must continue the agitation to
preserve the flow of nickles, dimes
and quarters from the jeans of labor
to headquarters, or-hOrrible idea
join the ranks of productive labor.
The dupes have the sympathy of
the Herald. Many of them are hon
estly imbued with the idea that the
world owes them living, which they
should have without the effort nee
essary to collect the debt. The lead
ers will get theirs when their game is
recognized by the followers, as it will
be in the not distant future.

inc any American citizen who comes
there to have his American passport
vised. That country is Russia.
If you wish to enter Russia, as a
tourist or a business man, you must
submit to an inquisition at the Rus.

get upon your American passport the

whether your ancestors came on the

for this country, or whether you are
only a humble, everyday American

whether your ancestors fled from pol

les ago, or whether you yourself fled
