Need OF Good Roads.

Jas. McNeely, who led a fight for
legislation in the last Washington
legiS 'aturc. estimates that the farmers
of the STATE are losing $4,000, 900 a
wear bv reason OF the fact that the
State has been 50 backward in the
construction Of good roads. Despite
fllc fact that he is candidate for the
Republican nomination for Congress

viii not give up the fight for good
roads. He is now in California and
on his return will make q tour OF
southwestern Washington, lectdring
on the road question. lie has PIE
pared ar exhaustive statement on
how to build roads and has outlined a
plan for raising the necessary funds.
In speaking of the annual loss to the
farmers Mr.. McNeely says: " We are
all more or less dissatisfied at the
amount Of our taxes, but we overlook
the loss that each Of us has sustained
by reason of not having had good
roads. 1t is estimated that the farm
ers of Washington are losing each
year the sum OF at least 80, 900, 900,
in extra cost for upkeep OF wagons
and harness and extra cost of drivers
and horses on the road, in marketing
their products and hauling supplies to
the farm. 1t is costing this amount
in excess of what it would be if we
had hard surface or good gravel roads.
When you stop to consider this loss
it is staggering and seems the height
of folly. 1t is equal to six per cent
on more than $4,000, 900, enoug h
money to put hard surface on every
mile of good roads in this State. ="
MIR. McNeely does not plan to have
any connections between his road
lecture and campaign for Congress.
With the exception Of his advocacy
of national aid in building roads
through forests reserves, he will m se

No more sensible comment on the shooting of Colonel Roose- welt by a maniac was made by anybody than by William J. Bry- an, when he said in speech two days later:
 "I would rather occupy the time in denunciatiOn of the decd and in expression of sympathy for him and hopes for his rccov- cry, but the issues of the cam paign should not be determined by the act of madman. They must be settled by the sane rather than the insane. 4 man. fac, however cOwardly and das- tardly his deed, is not the arbi- ter to whom to submit a presi- drniial contest"

WONDERFUL CAME LAW.

The Alaska game law is fear fully and wonderfully made. In the Boring sea country and in the interior wild fowl can not he killed until nearly every migrat = ing bird has plumed it's wings and taken it's flight soulhward. By the time the birds return in thr spring the season is closed. In southern Alaska the law re- galrlS the bear, black or brown or grizzly. with a SoliciIude that demands that il shall be given full and ample protection, when, as a matter of fact, inc hunter Is in more need of protection from one species of bear than is the animal itself. We npine that the Kodiak bear. for instance, was included in inc game con srrvaiinn policy because il is d royal animal and occasionally furnishes fine hunting for con grrSSmrn. lords. dukes, milIiu- aires and others of that ilk, with a rrlinur of glin-brarrrs, heaters, ralciS and helpers.
 That certain provisions of such a game law are violated need not be wondered al. Not long ago an interior preacher. who is fond of hunting, went out after ducks and geese during the clos ed season. The fowl were there by the lens of thousands. full flrdscd and milling around pre- vious to migrating south. The dominic secured a good bag and started on his return In his home. A friendly soul gave him the information that brace of deputy marshals and game war den or two were lying in wait for him on his way up the river. The minister transferred his fowl to anotOher steamer, while he himself stopped Off at a river town until the officers tired of their watch. He was not apprc- hended. But he complained that hIs game was entirely too "high" for his palate. by inc lime that ii reached the cook.
 The game of Alaska should be carefully protected, but the pro lection afforded should br req S0nablr and not foolish. h.--.Jlinrau Empire.

HOT WEATHER is
HELPING STATE
CROPS

Dry, hot weather, with very little
moisture, has brought about marked
Improvement in crop conditions in
Mississippi during the past few days.
The most serious menace of the cot
ton crop, even more greatly feared
than the boil weevil, is the army
worm, which has appeared in a num-
ber of counties, and it will take stiff
and expensive fight to suppress its raw
ages.
Many farmers and supply merchants
report that they are encounter1ng
trouble and delay in securing supplies
of paris green and arsenate of lead, to
be used in poisoning the army worm
The heavy demand from Alabama for
these poisonings has retarded ship
ments to Mississippi, and considerable
uneasiness is felt, especially whers
persons placing orders are unable e
get word concerning their shtrmen{z
High temperature and cessation q
the frequent showers has also bee'
beneficial to the corn crop. The raw
ages of the grass worm have abou
| ceased.

TO TEST NEW INVENTION.

London, July 30.-Mr. Won Kramer,
in connection with Professor Kapp OF
Birmingham University, will today
give to a selected number of scientists
a demonstration of the almost incredi-
BILE possibilities attaching to the in
vention which he has just about COM
pleted, which he claims will make rail-
way accidents practically impossible.
1t is called the "railophone" and has
attracted a great deal of attention
since the railway world first heard
hints of its existence. The instru-
.ment renders possible telephone com
munication with a railway train in
motion and by its use, it Is possible
ito pick up those feeble currents
which are received by the train, and
to relay them up into stronger cur
rents to operate electric bells or boot
ers. or even to put on the brakes o.
trains, or to stop them at the will o.
the signalman at the stations"
Thus a signalman ten or twent,
miles away may press a button ant
the train stops automatically. Anoth
er feature of the railophone is tha
trains equipped with it can automatic
ally bring back their signals to tn
danger position if they have been IN
adyertantly left open by the sigma
man, and as any such forgetfulness
recorded, at the time it occurs, tn
instrument settles the question of wh
