Economy of Good Roads.

The economic loss due to bad
roads is beyond computation and the
indifference of the general public
toward any projected improvement
of our highways is not easily under
stood. Each owner of property must
be held accountable for the condi-
ton of the highways of this local
ity.
OF our public works the condition
of none reflects our business status
more accurately than the condition
of our highways. To make good
roads so that products Of the farm
are easily and quickly brought to
this market is to increase the value
of every farm along those roads and
is practically to increase the farm
ers' facilities and lessen their ex-
penses; at the same time making
this town bigger and better mark
ct for farm produce.
If every citizen could see in act
ual money the financial return on
his investment in good roads he
would contribute his share thereaf-
ter with alacrity. He has drained
the swamps on his land and con-
verified them into arabic land. He
has bought improved farm imple-
ments-he has, in fact. adopted all
modern methodist order to in
crease the productiveness Of his
land. But the marketing of his farm
products is still seriously hindered
by defective highways. The actual
returns on any investment in i'm
proving the roads to market are Just
as direct and even more prompt than
are those from farm drainage and
improved farming methods.
In these days of automobiling
good roads open up much wider
range of vision for the rural inhab-
itants and the same conditions that
enable our residents to visit other
sections induce residents of other
communities to visit this locality.
This REORGANIZATION results in
kind of advertising that inevitab-
ly increases the value of property
by bringing in desirable purchasers.
In fact, the results accruing from
the building of good roads comprise
an endless chain of benefits to the
community that builds the roads.

PRESIDENT Mclean
GIVES SOME ADVICE
Retiring Head Of the State Univer-
sity Asks for Recognition
of Presidents.

The Iowa state board or educa-
~ received the last report OF Pres
4ent Geo, E. McLain yesterday, the
retiring head of Iowa University.
Mr.. fdcLean offered some advice, as
follows
''In parting from the board, per-
nit me, in view of the responsible
ity of my office, respectfully to urge
che following points upon the board,
OF importance not only on account
OF the university and it's two sister
institutions committed to the board,
but also on account Of the value
OF the educational experiment of a
single board for several institutions
to the educational world.
mot only should the distinction,
concerning which much has been
made of late, between the govern
ment and administration of institu-
lions be observed, but also there
should be definition and recogni-
ton Of the functions Of the presi-
dent, deans, heads of departments
and administrative officers.
"The functions of the finance
committee should be made clear,
and, in my opinion, are defined by
the very name, finance in the body
OF the statute. If. in any sense,
they become educational or semi
educational, it will bring confusion
and embarrassment to them and the
board! and derogate from the func-
tions II the educational officers and
faculty.
1.-The president, in accordance
with immemorial usage and sound
business practice, as a representa-
tive of the faculty, the connecting
link between the faculty and gov
erning board, should at all times sit
with the board, except when his
own case may be under considera-
ton; and business should be done
in accordance with the docket he
makes, and upon his recommends
ton. The appointments should be
made upon his nomination, and
that of the deans and departments
concerned.
"The presidents of the institu-
lions committed to the charge OF
the board should not only sit to-
eether at board meetings with the
hoard but be, with statesmanlike re-
ard to the entire public school sys'
tenn of the state, the expert advis-
1s Of the board. The president OF
each institution should sit with the
6nance committees and every com
nittee of the board The board and
the finance committee should mee'
regularly at the institutions. -
have violated the maxim: 1T Is
time enough to give advice when II
u sent for, but the impersonality
with which 1 can speak as retire
from Office, and my deep interest IN
the institution constrain me &c
speak in the proper spirit"

AUTO CLUB TO STOP
FAST DRIVING
Webster City Ought to Follow the
Fort Dodge Way in This
Respect at Least.

The Fort Dodge Auto Club will
make an effort to suppress the
speeding of automobiles along Cen
trail Avenue and throughout the res
idence districts which has been
troubling Fort Dodge people and en-
dangering their lives during the
past few months, says the Chroni-
Gle.
S. n. Mcgowan, secretary of the
club, said this morning that the
club is opposed to this conduct Of
auto owners and that it will not be
tolerated ''It is absolutely ridicu-
lous to allow this speeding in OUT
CITY," said Mr.. Mcgowan this morn
ing. Everyone is complaining
against it and still no one seems
willing to make any specific charges
against any particular speeders.
This reckless driving has to be
stopped. The club will do all in its
power to aid the city officials in
putting stop to this violation OF
the law"
II do not wish to name any par
ticular driver or drivers, but on
Friday night, following the band
concert, it was exceedingly danger
GUS for any one to attempt to drive
up or down Central avenue. Auto
mobiles and motorcycles were speed
ing this main street at the rate OF
no less than twenty Or twenty-five
miles an hour. 1t is very strange
and fortunate indeed that only one
accident was recorded in this city
on Friday night. am sure it was
not through the auto drivers that
no more accidents occurred. l
know of several different times,
where it was only by the merest
chance that severe accidents were
averted.
ITO be hit by a motorcycle Is
equally as dangerous as being hit
by an automobile. l believe the po-
lice should look more carefully af-
ter these fellows and give few OF
them lessons. In so doing they may
be able to prevent fatal accidents
"In our own neigh borhood last
evening / saw a motorcyclist drlv-
ing his machine near the curb at
breakneck speed. There were mum
erous children playing in the street
and he came near running over one
of them. 1t is a case that demands
immediate attention at the hands
of the authorities, if the rights of
pedestrians and children, especial
ly, are to be protected"
ITO attempt to enforce the pres
ent speed law, would be extremely
difficult, but l would suggest thai
the law be changed to allow driving
at the rate of 10 miles an hour and
then enforce it to the limit. A mo
torcycle policeman to run down the
speeders and bring them to justice
would be valuable addition to the
force"
That the auto club will take ac-
ton to cooperate with the city
council in their efforts to stop this
endangering of the public life and
safety has been assured.

,VAMADaUNl I'M
SIERRA COUNTY.

In a recent issue of the Mining
Journal of London, the oldest technical
journal in the world and the pioneer of
all trade publications, there appeared
"a long article by Brigham Leatherbee
of this place, entitled "Vanadium in
the United States" in which the fol-
lowing paragraphs relating to the Sier-
IA county deposits of this metal oc-
cnrred
The first recorded discovery of va
nadium in the United States occurred
in 1884, in Sierra County, New Mexico.
At that time DR.. f. M. Endlieh, we'll
known mineralogist, was general man
ager of the famous Lake Valley silver
mines, whose remarkable production of
Sl4, 10000 in silver within a short per-
iod, and whose wonderful Bridal
Chamber" which produced SO, 900, OOo
in silver alone, gave them much noto-
riety. In his investigation of the lead
ores Of these properties, DR.. Endlich
discovered many small yellow crystals
composed of lead. arsenic, vanadium,
and oxygen, which. in honor of the dis
eoyerer, were named "Endlichite, -
and are so classified by all mineralo-
gists.
About 1896 or 1897, Mr.. VIM. f. Hail.
of liillsboro, town about eighteen
miles north of Lake Valley, discovered
groups of the same crystals in some
lead and silver properties he was then
working in the Las Animas mining dis
trict, some three miles northeast of the
latter town, in which he also found
large deposits of red vanadium crystals
and some molybdenum. Then there
be ng no commercial demand for these
metals, Mr.. Hall cast these crystals
aside, save for the most beautiful speci-
mems, which he shipped toawell known
mineral company in Philadelphia, by
whom they were distributed to public
and private collectors throughout the
world.
These properties have since been
taken into control by the Vanadium
Queen Mining Company, and are being
systematically prospected and develop
ed. The vanadium occurs in well
defined contact vein between schale
and lime, and its outcroppings can be
readily followed for distance of some
three miles.
The attention of the management
has been largely devoted to the svs-
tematic opening of the properties, and
many shafts. cuts, and tunnels have
been run on the vein, all encountering
profitable ore. The most promising
have been further developed,
and consi erable ore has already been
blocked out, which will be Immediately
available whenever required. In the
numerous concentrating and
reduction tests have been made at vari-
Gus metallurgical laboratories through
out the country. and it is said that the
first unit of the concentrating plant
will be erected on the banks of the
Percha, which bisects the property,
within the next few months.
No other vanadium deposits were
in Sierra County until early
IN 1910. when tho occurrence Of this
metal was discovered on the eastern
slope of the Sierra de los Caballos,
some six miles east of the Rio Grande.
These deposits were located upon the
of the Southwestern Lead
& Coal Company, a corporation that
mad become imperative, and were
abandoned. The General
