mean much TO the entire community.
Taxpayers are satisfied with the ef-
forts put forth in road construction.
The work has not been over expen-
sive In any particular case and while
here and there fault might be found,
the disposition generally is not to
complain. Road building is a busi-
ness transaction and the county
court has found out that this is one
OF the most important duties confided
TO the Judge and commissioners and
that politics has in no instance any
connection with It, they have evil
IDENTIFY learned that It is not good
policy to make prediction promises
OF work on the county highways, as
this has been very unsatisfactory in
past years.

THE NATIONAL SAVING BANKS.

THE NATIONAL SAVING BANKS.
At the present rate of increase. it
has been predicted that within ten
years postal banks in the United
States will hold o7er 100000, 600
and that the thrift of the people will
be far more general than ever before
The French, who have for the past
hundred years practlced that kind Of
economy which made every peasant
a banker, and have been in the habit
of loaning the government a billion
or two on short notice, will now have
to look to their laurels, or the gener-
al saving habit of American families
will place them second in the list Of
economists.

GOOD ROADS SUBJECT DIS
CUSSED.

The good roads movement is
spreading rapidly over nearly all the
states, There are not only state Or
ganizations and county organlza-
tions but in the progressive cities.
there are o. lnizations which as
sist the rU., population in building
and rep. ing roads. There are hun
dreds of Commercial clubs interested
In this work and they are doing
what they can to have every road
leading to the town a credit TO the
entire section OF country The Com.
mercial clubs have done much to as
sIst in populariling the King drag
and I'm many states this machine is
doing grand work County officials
In a number Of states are co-operat-
ing with farmers in road buidnc
and in many sections "the drag" Is
the watchward Of every organization
which helps along the work Of
building and repairing roads
The drag has been introduced In
Josephine county and It can be said
that # is performing yeoman SER
vice The only trouble is, there are
not enough OF these simple, but et-
tectlye machines There is plan
much Tn vogue h the eastern states
which makes the drag effective. a
certain number OF districts are form
ed IN the county and q drag placed
In each A farmer whose land bord-
ers on thc road uses the drag and
turns it over 20 the next farmer and
SO on urt1 &c goes round This. IS

been found very effective. An hours
work on the part of the farmer COM
pletes his section Of the road and
his neighbor, acting promptly, soon
gets through with his work, and in
this way the district is quickly cov-
cred. This plan insures the period
ical and systematic dragging of prac-
tically every road in the county The
resultant benefit more than compen-
safes each Of these farmers for his
contribution Of labor and time.
The Grants Pass Commercial club
can, with profit to our business in
terests, take this matter up in a
systematic way with the county
court and the farmers OF the various
districts and thereby assist in i'm
proving all the roads leading to
town. The city man and the dweller
in the country alike are interested in
this all important subject and there
fore there should be cooperation in
the good roads work. The county
court, having taken up this matter
in earnest the taxpayers can afford
to help the work along. The good
roads which have been built need
no dragging, but there are many
miles OF roadway upon which the
drag will be able to do good service.
In the middle west and the east the
repairing Of roads and keplng them
in proper condition is considered
worthy Of attention. They drag, re-
drag and drag again the more i'm
portant roads Of each county until
they have transformed poor roads
into smooth, level highways which
may be travelled with the maximum
OF comfort under any weather con-
dltions in all seasons of the year.

GENERAL CLEAN UP PROMISED

Many Of our citizens are fayoring
what Is generally known as a Clean
up Day. and the mayor informs us
that the council, as well as himself,
propose to do some work along this
line in the very near future What
we need Is TO clean up the streets
and alleys, the back yards, the front
yards and get ready for the dry, hot
weather which we must soon expect.
The rains this spring have made
not only the grass, but all kinds Of
weeds, grow In rich profusion, and It
will be necessary to cut these close
80 as TO prevent fires from spread
Ing to our outbuildings and homes
We need general cleanup so as to
prevent the breeding Of the worst Of
all pests, the house fly which
spreads disease and death generally
every year. Let us have things spick
and span in doors and out. Pick up
all the trash, burn II or send It to
the dump pile.
Speaking Of the dump pile, It is a
pleasure to note that committee
will look after this disreputable
place and see that II is not made
nuisance all by itself, and while talk
ing on this point, let It be mentioned
that the old dump on the outskirts
west Of town is in the wrong place
A dump naturally breeds flies and,
located where It is, every wind that
blows brings these pests into town
and to the homes Of the people.
Put the dump east Of the city, thus
reducing the ny population to large
extent,
A special effort should be made to
reduce the flies around our groceries
and markets and all kinds of busi-
ness places, including livery stables
A little Of the right kind OF work
will do away with the breeding
places OF these poisonous insects and
make Grants Pass a more desirable
town to live In Every good citizen
will be in favor of making a relent-
less war on the detestabe fly.

THE TOKA COMMENCEMENT
NUMBER.

The commencement number of the
Toka has been published and proves
to be a royal one, outranking all for
mer issues of the already famous high
school publication. There are. when
portraits are counted, something over
nifty fine illustrations in this mum.
ber and 1t contains also many articles
OF real merit. Taken all together the
Toka has reached a conspicuous posi-
tion among the school journals of the
northwest and Its los pages, which
constitute this commencement num-
ber so far toward proving it's pros
perity and popularity.

SOCIALISTS DENY CONNECTION
WITH /. W. W.

The socialists in different parts OF
the country give it out cold that
they have nothing TO do with the In
Idustrial Workers OF the World and
are not in any way responsible for
any Of their acts. This is undoubted-
ly true, but there has been in the
past a sort Of general affiliation be-
tween these organizations on stated
occasions and people have been un-
able to always distinguish between
the two.
The denial does not come any too
soon, for 1t is generally understood
that the so-called l. w. WIS are a
bad lot and the socialists will do
well to take the other side of the
road, but they will find 1t hard to
convince some people that they have
never been in sympathy with these
dlsturbers. You can not affiliate
with bad people and fail to a certain
extent to become deflled. Those
people are revolutionists and they
belong to the mob order. Socialists
like other individuals, cannot com
plain II they are Judged by the COM
pany they keep.

WILL BOLsTERED HIS CREDIT

His Creditors Get Wise to
His Trick. s:5 !,

Credit men in the WOODEN trade are
discussing an interesting bankruptcy
ease that was recently compounded
out of court at d settlement Of about!
az cents on the dollar; and some Of
the credit men, autobiograp hicallyi
reminiscent, are bewaiIing the fact
that, to avoid the IS slang Of other
trades, 10 victim is born every min
ute" These are the credit men who
credited. y 81 5s5 /!
Il seems that q well-hnown iobbeH
IN woolens became Ill some months
ago and grew worse and worse until
finally, the men In the trade heard
that he was dying About that timG
the jobber sent for a lawyer who!
even outside Of his, own heraldings
is credited with doing about half Of
the litigation az that most litigious Of
trades. The jobber, groaning heavily,
made. his will. He disposed Of about
100000 in It. Some went to charity
some went to old business friends,
and little went to the jobber's own
family. s S e n "a 81 .sf #ss2

ter set in in the jobber's condition.
Presently he was walking brisklyi
about his business again, buying now
from this mill, now from that-but
always buying. He bought so much
that several credit men became FESTIVE
under his orders and began to consid.
er the wisdom Of holding back ship
ments on terms more akin to cash.
One of them; however, happened to
mention his suspicious to the lawyer
who had drawn up the jobber's will.
Have no fear" the lawyer reas.
sured him, adding, by way of conf
!dence, Il myself had an altogether
erroneous notion OF. his finances until
several weeks ago when he was ILL.
At that time I drew up his win for

his fortune" And he diyulged more

Good news travels just as fast as
bad news in the wooden trade, and
presently every credit man in the
business knew Of the jobber's will and
his 100000. And the: jobber contin-
ued to buy and buy, and buy still
more, on ever easier terms. Then.
when he had bought enough, he failed
and that, too, In almost as respectable
q figure as the fortune in his late re-
puted will. 81 :t.
