Few people know what modern
highway is. Our government has no
conception of it's economic value. 10
talk good roads is to bore most people.
The relation between roads. water
ways and railways is not understood.
says Samuel Hill in Good Roads.
Article 8 of the constitution of the
United States. which provides for the
establishment of postoffices and post
roads, is. so far as it relates to roads,
a dead letter For nearly 100 years
no public movement has ever been
undertaken for the establishment of
highways. Local communities here
and there have struggled for better
ment of highways and against exist
ing political methods which render
their construction impossible
In dollars and cents the loss by bad
primary transportation over the so
called highways of America to the
producers and the consumers every
year from marketing their products
over these roads runs into figures which
few minds can comprehend
The United States leads the world
in economic steam transportation. the
average cost to the public being ap
proximately three-quarters of a cent
for hauling ton one mile over the
steam railways. 1t is not far from
the truth to say that the American
farmer is at a disadvantage against
his European competitor to the extent

Hunter Assault Case Continued

Owing to the fact that VIM. Met ullev.
the complaining witness, had suffered a
relapse as the result of his injuries,
the case of the State VS.. VIM. Hunter.
charged with first degree assault, will
not be tried at the present term of
court. McCulley is again confined to a
hospital at Spokane, and it will be some
time before he will be able to be out.
In view of the fact that Hunter has
been in custody several months await
ing trial, Judge Carey ordered his bond
reduced to $1,000.
AS result of this continuance it is
very likely that there will be another
jury term called soon after Judge Jack
son assumes the bench, perhaps as early
as February.
