Good Roads by Counties.

Forty-siX counties in Kentucky
have not foot Of improved high
way within their borders. Ac-
cording To peport recently pub
lished by the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the total
road mileage of Kentucky in 1909
was 53,744, of which 10, ia miles
were improved.
The forty-six counties in which
there are no improved roads are
located principally in the eastern
and western paris of the State.
Twenty-oue counties have more
than 80 per cent. of their roads
improved, and these counties
are: Grant, 80; McCracken,
5000; Garrard, 51.92; Lincoln,
53,3; Carroll, 1856; Mercer, 3d.
80; Clark, 56.52; Robertson, So
90; Fayette, 66.0l; Pendleton,
Sc. Al; Jessamine, 20; Bracken,
~; Kenton, 10; Franklin, rs. is !;
Shelby, 81; Nichalas, So 80; Har-
rison, 500; Gallatin, 90; Scott i,
90.76: BOYLE, 81 .66, and Mason,
825 per cent.
Between these extremes there
are twenty-one counties with less
than 10 per cent. of their roads
improved. In twelve counties
the improved highways constitute
from 10 to 10 per cent. of the en-
tire mileage; in five countit s
from 20 20 rs per cent. in five
other counties from 20 to 20 pr r
per cent. +; in five other counties
from 80 to 80 per cent, and in
line counties from 40 to 40 per
cent. =
Compared with other States,
Kentucky's road showing is not
bad, as only three States in the
Union exc0od her in total of i'm
proved highway mileage. Other
States, however, are improving
their roads at present at much
greater rate than Keatucky, and
if we are to maintain our present
high standing on the role of 4

Body Fonnd Eaten by Dogs.

About two weeks ago John
Mcintosh and Tom NcIntosh
brothers, the former bachelor
living with the latter married
man who lives on Hatton creek,
came to Clay CITY and it is said
loaded up on liquor and started
home walking. From some cause
or other, being drunk John Nc
Intosh got lost from his brother
Tom, and when Tom got home
started "a search for John but
could not find BIN. All efforts
to locate him having failed, it
was thought that he had fallen
of one of the railroad bridges
which he must cross or else was
murdered and rpbbed as he was
known to have. some money in
his pocket. Last Saturday as
one of the little boys of Charlie
Rice, who lives near Stanton was
returning from a store passins
through the woods, a dog follow
ing him engaged in fight with
several other dogs. He went to
the scene of the fight and there
found the dogs eating on hu-
man body which proved to be
that of Mcintosh chat was lost
two weeks before. The flesh of
one arm was almost eaten away,
a large portiongof the chest and
some of the fesh on the face
was also eaten. He evidently
had died from 1intoxication as
the theory Of murder and rob
berry was disp<lled when all of
the money Id ~as thought to
have was four aihis person.

Getting Stiff and Tough.

Our mud roads are now getting
good and stiff and tough and
hard to pull. Clay City, howev-
er, will soon have one piece of
good road, made SO by nature and
non-use. 1t is the road from
here to the Walters Ferry bridge.
The old forge crossing has been
past fording now practically all
the time since the thaw out the
middle of February and this piece
of road is in fine shape, the best
condition, possibly, of any road
in the county. While we must
do without the bridge we need
so badly, it is fine on that section
of road when the river does get
down.

Awake, Boys of Powell County.

Powell county boys should be-
stir themselves and JOIN the
Boys Corn Club and win some
of the prizes that will be offered.
Corn growing is a profitable bust
ness when the right kind of
ground is available and the prop
er culture is applied. This is
what the State hopes to do, get
the boys to learn how to shape
the conditions so great crops can
be grown. 1t is to the boys in.
terest to grow a great crop of
corn this year, but it is more inn
portant to prepare an acre for
next years crop. Making the
land right is one-half the crop
the seed is one-fourth; time of
planting and its culture is the
other fourth. 1t is JUS as i'm
portant to begin now to prepare
an acre for next years crop as it
is to prepare the available acre
for this years crop. The Times
will give IA hint on the prepare
ton of land for corn. Take an
acre of average land, and plant
in velvet beans in the same way
as corn, and keep the weeds
down. You will find the ground
covered twelve inches deep with
vines by September; turn these
vines under before frost and SOW
in rye the first of October, apply
ing about one.half the manure OH
the ground you think you ought
| to. Plow under the rye next
year about the, first OF May and
plant your corn, cultivate well
and you will be surprised at what
a crop of corn you will grow.
If you don't know where to get
the velvet beans come to this Of
flee and we will grady give you
this information.

England's New Dominion

To her self governing colonies of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Newfoundland is to be added the colony of British West In- dies, if present plans can be carried out.
 The new self governing colony would consist of the Bahamas, Bar badoes, Trinidad, Jamaica, Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, British Guiana and British Honduras, all in or about the Caribbean sea. Bermuda and the Falkland Islands would alone remain in the western world as unat- tached British colonies.
 The proposed British colony would be one of the sea. To eight widely de- tached colonies it would bring homo geneity and certain community of interest. It would contain good many negroes, but the controlling in- tereSt Tn 1t would be as 1ully Anglo- Saxon as it is in Canada, or Austra- lia, or South Africa.
 The Asquith government is said to favor the organization of the proposed colony If the people of the eight sep arate colonies favor confederation un. der British rule the plan will be car 1ied out, and the chances largely are that it will crystalize into the self. governing colony of the British West Indies with population not much less than that of Australia. It would be EnglanG's first governing col ony in the tropics.

Why I, in this weak piping time of
Republican Party sectionalism

When the republican party disap- pears sectionalism will disappear also. but sectionalism will continue to disturb the harmony of the states un- til the republican party wholly dlsap- pears.
 It is not what that party did dur ing the war--it was the carpetpag reconstruction which followed it and the racial nonsense which IS still maintained that has turned the south against the republican party in man ner that cannot be overcome or even lessened. This opposition will not cease while the republican party lasts. The harmony of the states, the thor ough qualification of the union, call aloud for the dissolution of a party that IS states will never accept even as a minority party.
 Many believe that the progressive party has chance to secure pretty good footing in the south. "The bull moosers," says the Cincinnati En- ouirer. twill await their time to or ganize the south, but when they start to do so it will mean a more formida- ble opposition to democracy there than r.
 This may all come true. At any rate the case of the republican party with its carpetbag record is hopeless, and every patriot, every friend of the union of states, will be glad when that party finally and fully disap- nearS

CHINESE COOKING

In the new January number of Har- per's Bazar is the first of a series of articles on Chinese cooking. It is called Cooking and Serving a Chinese Dinner in America" The writer says: Chinese cooking has become very pop ulal of recent years in America. The restaurants are no longer merely the types peculiar to Chinatown, for the Chi nese restaurants have pushed their way out of Chinatown, and are now found in all parts of the large cities of America. Their patronage today is of the very best, and many of their dishes are justly famous.
 "One of the most popular of the New York restaurants recently engaged a Chi nese chef with the announced intention of serving Chinese dishes.
 There is no reason why these same dishes should not be cooked and served in any American home It is true that the average Chinese cook becomes as in- sorutable as the Sphinx when asked by. foreign devil for a recipe; and even when, under exceptional circumstances, he is induced to part with one, he gen orally leaves out vital ingredient, so that the American seldom really obtains the true Chinese dish. That is why many who have experimented with Chinese cooking at home complain it does not taste the same as the dishes served in the Chinese restaurants.
 ''The ingredients which go to make up the various Chinese dishes, when not ob- tainable in the regular American stores, can all be bought in the Chinese stores of the larger cities in America, particu- larly New York, Chicago Boston, San Francisco and Montreal. They can he ordered by mail, packed carefully and expressed by these Chinese stores to any part of the country
 The writer, Sara Bosse, then describes the dinner in detail and gives the recipes

Transcont;neutal Railroads

The Union Pacific owns 46 per cent of the stock of the Southern Pacific, and the Southern Pacific owns on the other hand the Central Pacific which is the western end of the Union Pa cific.
 TT.o railroads involved propose to allot the Southern Pacific stock to the stockholders of the Union Pacific pro rata, but the Attorney General wants the stock in question offered to stock holders of both roads at a suitable price and under appropriate restric- tions. The Attorney General is striv- ing to secure a sale and scattering of the stocks, while the railroads are striving to keep it in present hands. The difference is material and im- portant, and it will probably be car ried to the supreme court for decis- ion. It may lead to prolonged litiga- tion.
 In this matter Judge Lovett is up against Attorney General Wicker sham, and both are keen lawyers. One

 But what is a man to do in barber shops where it is no uncommon thing to be charged $2 or $3 for the simplest oper- ation?
 And it's the same thing in the hotels. know d man who took a suite at a Mcnte Carlo hotel without asking the price of anything in the restaurants of such hotels it's common thing to find no prices, even on the menus.

PICKING WET LOCATIONS

 Der 15.
 The batting average of w. w. Silk. who has been picking the wet spots with al most uncanny regularity, was boosted another notch last week, when Nos and Marriott hit the sand, both looking like good wells No 3 found the sand at 10150 feet and filled up over 400 feet, showing for an excellent producer. Late yester- day No |. three-fourths of a mile east, tapped the sand at 1O5I feet and filled nearly all of the way up, it being impossi- ble to bail the oil down. This is an off, set to the Guffey's producer on the W. B. Crow tract. Both of the Five Rivers new wells on the Marriott are showing for good producers and improve the already bright outlook for that part of the field. Mr Silk has had goood string of pro- ducers since he began operations in the field and eventualities have justified his judgment in more than one case where the talent had put the Indian sign on him.
