TO RAISE THE QUARANTINE.
Live Stock Commissioner VIII Liz u
November 1.

State Livestock Sanitary Commits
sioner j. H. Mercer expects to raise
the quarantine from the remaining
eleven counties in the state by the
first of November. The state and fed
eral authorities are working together
and are rapidly driving mango from
the state, and even in some OF
these counties the mango is almost
unnoticeable One or two herds in
county are infected. With these par
tcular herds quarantined the counties
could be taken out from under the
quarantine.
If the quarantine is lifted from the
western part of the state by Novem'
Der first it will be the first time Ill
twenty years that there has been no
quarantine for mango in Kansas. The
fact that it can be lifted is due largely
to the matter of education. For many
years the farmers and cattle raisers in
the western part of the state did not
look upon the quarantine as thing
of any particular Importance. 1t was
violated and except the efforts made
by the officials little was done to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. But
that was in the day of the long-horn.
Since then the stockraisers have been
raising a higher grade of cattle. They
value them more highly and exert Ell
forts themselves to keep mango out
of their herds. The result is that the
inspectors for the Sanitary Commits
sioner find much less trouble enforc-
ing the quarantine laws and find it
much easier to stamp out not only
mango but other diseases common to
cattle.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS INCREASE.

Open air schools for children afflict-
ed with or p~redisposed to tuberculosis
have been established in twenty-eight
cities according to an announcement
made in a bulletin issued today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first Open Air school in the
United States was established on Jan
uary /, 1907 by the Board of Educa-
ton of Providence, r. l., at the in
stance of DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The
next school was established in May of
the same year at Pittsburg, a third
one at Boston in July, 1908, and the
fourth at Bellevue hospital in New
York in December, 1908. During the
year 1909 ten schools in five different
cities were opened; in 1910, sixteen
schools in twelve cities were opened;
and eight schools in five cities were
opened to April 1, 1911, while def
mite provision has been made for
twenty-seven more schools in six cit
les. Many cities are considering the
question and will act during the com
ing year.
New York City now has in operation
twelve open air schools and classes,
and definite provisions has been made
for fourteen similar classes to be
opened by next fall. Boston has five
open air classes in it's schools, and
Chicago also has several.
According to reports received by
the National Association, the result
Of the open air class-work has been to
restore most Of the children to nor
NAL health and efficiency. One Of
these open air schools or classes
should be established for each $4,000
population, especially in cities.

LAIRD HAS FIRE.

BY the Albai, Qowa) Union we
learn that E. n. Laird, a former we'll
known resident of Brookings, suffered
a severe loss by fire last week. The
Union says:
Last Sunday afternoon about one
O'Clock the fire company was given a
quick call to subdue a big fire in the
Laird restaurant on North Clinton st.
across from the Monroe Hotel. The
fire originated by mere accident and
was so quick and SO complete that be-
fore the fire boys could get on the
ground the building was a mass of
flames and everything was destroyed.
at was after the dinner hour and
Mr.. Laird, the proprietor, had filled
the reservoir of the lighting plant
with gasoline and brought it in and
placed it on the counter. He had
left the plug off the tank and gone Out
to get the funnel from the house where
he filed the reservoir. While away
by some unknown means The gaso-
line caught fire. Mr.. Laird says he
looked back toward the building and
saw it in flames. He did not hear an
explosion which must have occurred
as the large plate glass windows of
the restaurant were shattered as by
an explosion. Mr.. Laird has 81 LOO in
surance on his goods and stock which
were a complete loss. He also lost
his books. Mr.. Laird had built up a
fine business and was adding TO his
business in a way that was bringing
the prosperity he so we'll merits. His
loss will put out of business for a
short time one of the leading restaur-
ants in the city. The proprietor has
the sympathy of all in his misfortune"

BOOST FOR A BOULEVARD
ACROSS THE CONTINENT

help boost the national turnpike in her
own peculiar way. :
An association has been formed and
the membership goes through Cali
fornia. New Mexico and Arizona. The
president of the association is Dell n.
Potter, of Clifton.
The Los Angeles chamber of COM
MERGE has been invited by MIR. Potter
to participate in a general conference
this fall. The topic for discussion at
this proposed conference is the building
of a great road for the nation. but by
the different states. Each state is to
construct the highway across it's w
domain and hand 1t over to the next
state.
The chamber of commerce. replying
to the Invitation. has suggested that
New Mexico and Arizona arrange the
ence and promises that California will
be on hand for the pow-wow.
1t Is stated at the hambe of COM
merce that several other friendly sug-
g~estions have come from ariou parts
of the country. asking that California
get together with other states and make
a long, strong pull for a national road
way.
In the beginning. the agitation for a
national roadway was based very large
ly on sentiment.
The most ardent advocate, and one
of the first, was the old pioneer, Ezra
Meeker. whose story is told in another
part OF this paper. His toilsome trips
across the plains in his squeaky old
OK cart were made solely from a senti-
mental longing to save from oblivion
the cute Of the old Oregon trail, over
which he had come as a young man in
1852.
He was only able to rouse a casual
momentary enthusiasm. He persuaded

| stick up a few stone monuments. then
| he went creaking along on his way.
1t was when the first automobile got
stuck in the mud trying to cross the
| plains that the necessity for a national
highway began to take on a definite
and emphatic shape.
Automobile men have the reputation
of getting action" They are success
full men who know how to get things
or they wouldn't have automobiles.
They are behind this movement
heart n soul. and they can be de-
! pended upon to start something"
There are 100000 automobiles east
Of the Rocky mountains. 1t is esti-
mated that $500, 900. 900 is spent eacl,
year In travel in Europe. Many autos
are shipped across the sea In order that
owners may tour the old country. A
national highway would mean that at
least halt of this money would be spent
III tHlS country ana almost all OF tneSe
machines would be used for touring the
United States.
There are abou $4,000 automobiles in
California. here will soon be 100, 900,
Almost every man who buys a machine
plans to tour through the United States
sooner or later. He would travel much
sooner If the national highway is built.
The new road will mean more business,
more money for the Individual, greater
! wealth for this country and greater
tourist travel to California.

From the Los Angeles Times.

FROM the Los Angeles Times.
The cid emigrant trails across the
prairies. which marked the most pic
turesque chapter of American history,
are to live again.
Along the route of one of those half
forgotten emigrant roads, worn by the
toiling wagons of the pioneers. and
glorious with h legends of their pa
tlent courage, a new transcontinental
highway will be built from ocean to
ocean.
1t does not require the services of
the seventh son of a seventh son to
discern that. following the opening of
the Panama canal, the United States
government will undertake another
wonder of the engineering world. This
will be IA turnpike to belt the Ameri-
can continent.
For reasons that are not very hard
to trace. this country is entering upon
the era of road building.
Once started on that line of thought.
1t is inconceiyable that America, with
its craving for big things. should stop
the world. Concrete n definite steps
in that direction have already been
taken.
President Taft is to take an active
part in the good roads convention in
November. One of the chief topics will
be h plan for a great national high
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Governors Of the different states
crossed by the ocean-to-Ocean premier
tour committed themselves to a plan
for a national highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific. This sentiment
was universal and there vas not a chief
executive who faltered. There was no
uncertain sound when the plan for a
great highway was preached.
On An0lSt 10 Senator COllOm- Of
Illinois, introduced in the Senate q bill
providing for the construction OF the
most extensive and o expensive
system of national highways that any
nation ever dared to dream of in the
history of the world.
Senator Cullom's plan is to make the
national capital the hub Of a great
wheel from which radiate seven ma
tional highways.
They are to terminate. he proposes, in
Portland, Me-: Buffalo. N. Y; Seattle,
WASH; San Francisco. Cal; San Diego.
is proposed that they be named. re-
spectively, Washington National High
way. Roosevelt National Highway"
Lincoln National Highway" Jefferson
National Highway" Grant National
Highway" Monroe National Highway
and Lee National Highway"
1t is estimated that these seven high
ways will cost about $148. 600, 900. Sen
ator Cullom's plan is To raise the money
by issuing bonds to cover h cost of
actual construction. After the roads
are built. his plan is to maintain the
roads by collections OF tolls.
Prominent citizens OF Arizona are
backing a proposition which will mean
the building of a great highway from
one end of the territory to the other,
providing the good roads national high
way plan goes through. Arizona will
take care OF itself on his plan and will
