FOR NEW ROAD LAW,
Township Unit Generally Favored as
Working Plan.


Wilson Creek the semi-monthly
meeting of the Farmers union, the
subject of good roads was again taken
up, the association being addressed by
Clyde G. LETTERS, president of the
Grant County Development league.
Local ranchers are dissatisfied with
the present method of road construc-
ton. They are studying methods Of
procedure to get a change in the pres
ent system so that local roads may be
constructed and maintained for local
people. The adoption of the town
ship unit in road construction is being
advocated.
J. C. Oaks, prominent rancher liv-
ing north, who has had experience
with the township unit, and in East
ern states, said: "What the farmers
here want and must have is better
roads to haul their grain to market.
The state highway gives no local ben
eft The township unit is the best
unit for road construction and main
tainance. For with it the people
wanting better roads can have them.
We must have change in our road
system.

Day by day his little handful of re-
naming change vanished in steadily
diminishing ratio as his meals be-
came cheaper and further apart, I'M
til finally he had but dime left. This
coin he resolved to save for some last
and most desperate extremity, and he
even determined to fast for days be-
fore parting with it. And fast for
days he did, while oft times the days
came much too fast.
When Christmas eve came he had
not tasted food for three days. He

felt that he could endure It nc
longer, that the last and most desper.

now he must spend his dime. He
was plunged deep in meditation when
he felt someone touch his arm and
turned about.
Beside him there stood gaunt man

the wrong way. The apparition ad-
dressed him In q croaking voice.
For Gods sake, stranger, buy me
something to eat. I am penniless and

work, and while have job promised
me It will be week before 1t Is open.
And meanwhile I am starving, friend,
starving. In the name of Christianity
spare me enough for a meal out Of

Wellington stared into the evening
dusk as he fingered his last and
smoothly worn dime. He knew well
enough what this other man was suf-
fering, for had he not been In the
same stage twenty-four hours before!
And to give man dime In such q
case was SO grossly inadequate. Yet
what could he do? He turned about.
Close before him was restaurant
where he had spent hundreds Of dol
lars in his palmy days and whose pro-
prietor he knew well. Yet he owed a
bill there for his last big after theater
dinner party Of many months ago, and
he had never had the courage even in
his semi-starvation to go in and ask
for more credit. Yet now it must be
done, for here was q human being
starving upon the streets. Wal

duty to fill this mans stomach, and

Senate Pushes House Resolution
Against Russian Treaty.
Washington, D. C.-The abrogation
of the Russian treaty Of 1882 because
of determinations against American
Jews and others may become the law
of the land before the Christmas holt
days.
4 The Sulzer resolution, already
adopted by the house, directiong the
termination of the treaty after q
years notice, was brought up in the
senate. The decision to refer it to
the committee on foreign relations
rather than act Immediately was made
after an assurance from the commit
tee that it.would report at once. The
senate may either adopt the resolution
with slight change or the Culberson
resolution virtually identical.
The debate in the senate included
some discssuion of the attitude of the
State department. Senator Culber-
son wanted immediate action without
the I610T0uCS W CuS COAuA14IGCOs AAS
contended that notice of abroagtion
could not take effect until one year
latter the first day of January follow
ing the action of congress, and there
fore, if the resolution should fail of
adoption before the holidays it could
not 90 into effect until 1914.
Senators Cullom and Lodge pleaded
for the reference to the committee,
which they said would report soon.
Senator Raynor was somewhat skep-
itcal as to the committees ability to
agree before the holidays.
81 have no doubt that we can do
it, Senator said Cullom said. Mr..
Lodge added his assurance to the same
effect.
Senaor Clark of Arkansas, contend
ed that if the treaty were to be dis
posed of promptly action should be
taken without reference to the COM
mittee. He said congress either
should act Immediately upon the gen.
eral public demand or go into the
question thoroughly.

HUMAN HAIR DUTY FREE.
Queue-Cutting Edict Fails to Flood
Commercial Market.

Queue-CuttIng Edict rails to Flood
Commercial Market.
Washington, D. C.-The free entry
into this country of "combings of hu-
man hair" in their crude condition
from China and other lands, for the
manufacture of wigs, puffs, traits, I"
switches and other articles of personal
adornment will not be disturbed by
the Treasury department.
Investigation Of the subject has de-
veloped that the imperial Chinese
edict ordering the clipping of the his
toric queues of the subjects of the
Celestial empire has had no effect on
the available supply of human hair for
commercial purposes.
The market has not been swamped
with Chinese "pigtails, for the sons
of China are carefully encasing the
clipped queues in boxes of gold for
preservation as relics to posterity.

Horticultural Union to Operate Plant
If It Can Be Acquired.
North Yakima-After investigation
of the cannery business in the Yakima
valley the directors Of the horticul-
tural union have decided that If the
cannery owned by c. B. Russell, OF
Seattle, in the Western part OF North
Yakima, can be acquired on reason
able basis they will buy it. Negotia-
tions have been opened with Mr. BUS
sell.
The cannery was not operated in
the 1911 season and was worked part
of the time the previous summer by
Libby, McNeill & Libby, of Chicago.
Mr.. Russell was in North Yakima q
few days ago and declared that if he
could get the affairs of the cannery in
such shape that he could accept an
offer he would do so. He admitted
that it has been losing proposition
since he had owned it, but attributes
that to the fact that his other business
interests have made it impossible for
him to give it sufficient attention.
The horticultural union also has un-
der consideration the matter of estab-
fishing plant for the evaporation of
fruit on plan lately introduced,
which not only saves the fruit itself,
but the jellies and juices usually lost
in evaporation processes.
In case the cannery is acquired such
a plant may be established in connec-
ton.

Lecturer Declares Wheat Yields Car
Easily Be Doubled.

Odessa - One of the largest and
most enthusiastic meetings held by
Odessa farmers was addressed by Pro-
fessor--W. H. Campbell. farming ex-
pert, of Lincoln, Neb., at the Odessa
opera house. Three years ago Pro-
fessor Campbell visited this country
under the auspices of the state college.
Campbell's plans are being followed
by farmers with the result that crops
are doubled. George N. Lowe, a
wealthy rancher east of here, stated
after the meeting that if only 20 per
cent of the principal points brought
cut by Professor Campbell were fol-
lowed, Odessa's crops would be enor-
nous.
Mr.. Campbell said in the last six
years, three dry and three normal, Ne
braska averaged As bushels of wheat
per acre, the highest average being At
bushels in 1899. He declared this
could be surpassed in the Odessa coun-
try if his plans were followed out.
