What Improved Roads Mean To ;
City,

First in Importance, after the
productive power Of the soil, is
the building and maintaining of
public highways. The roads of
a community are like the nervous
system Of a human body; upon
their condition depend it's health
and growth.
The average country road
makes country life less profit
able, wastes time, labor, energy
and money. The unimproved
condition of our country roads
contribute UNNECESSARILY to the
drift of population cityward, and
the condition Of these roads to.

the people Of Texas consider
ably more than to appropriate
the necessary money with which
to build first class roads. 1t is a
difficult problem to get the
farmer to see where it is better
to increase his taxes a few mills
on the dollar by voting a bond
issue for road purposes, rather
than to market the yield of his
farm over bad roads between his
farm and market place.
This is a day of conservation,
and as the minds Of the people
are directed toward conserving
their pecuniary interests, the
first question TO be considered is
the economical side of improved
highways. The best investment

DAILY COMMENT ON PEOPLE AND THINGS

Mrs. David Beatty was one of the
hits at a swell London ball.
Mrs. Beatty is daughter of the
late Marshall Field. The dough she
blows in over in London is made in
Chicago"
Marshall Fields two grandsons,
who are heirs to millions upon mil
lions, are also getting their education
in England.
Much of that money was made by
paying men, women and children
rotten low wages for working for old
Marshall Field.
Pres. Mccormick of the county
board is betalking himself too much
to the newspapers.
We would like it better if he would
bewrite him some more letters.
For when Mack bewrites himself
he's an amoosin' cuss, and when he
betalks himself to the reporters they
don't bequote him right.
So kindly bewrite yourself some
more, Mac; we like that rag-time
melody, that tango talk.
It runs something like this: ! be-
guess III bego me to bed early to-
night begosh, so l can beget me up
early in the morning begolly and be-
hurry me down town and betalk me
to the reporters bejabbers.
Mary Jane, don't beuse you so
much butter on. your buekwheat |
cakes. The price Of eggs is too high. |
That sure was a great idea when |
Mccormick bethought him to write |
Maclay Hoyne letter-for news
paper publication.
Well, are any more streets going |
to cave in down in the loop?
Maybe it would be better all around
if none of the big interests down
there had any pull with the political
powers that be.

Washington. D. C, April 26.-When
President Wilson heard yesterday the
Washington team was playing It's last
game at home before departing on a

list and hurried to the ball park
where he saw Griffth's men win from
Boston, 5 to 4.
The president has attended four of
the FIVE games the team has played
here since the beginning of the sea-
son and the fans feel he Is one Of them.
He applauds vigorously when Wash
ington makes a good play-for dignity
forbids that a president should root
and looks disappointed when the um-
pire's decision favors the visitors.
At yesterdays game the president
stood up and cheered when the Wash
ington team tied the score and forged
ahead In the eighth inning. AS he left
the park he was cheered He had been
sitting in a box in the upper tier and
though the crowd damned the exists
below they voluntarily made path as
he passed out with his daughter. Miss
Margaret, and Secretary Tumulty. As
the party entered a White House mo-
tor there were more cheers, come
again. Woody" and similar expressions
of approval came from the fans.

Clarke's Pirate crew broke the tie for
second place with Chicago in their own
favor yesterday by annexing the first
scrap of four-game series by score
of to 3.
Jack Robinson, some southpaw
thought he had a whitewash In sight
when he started the ninth inning, but
quicker than he could calculate his
own name the Trojans stung him in
several different places. Before he
could recover from his establishment
and pain Jack felt the hook and Hen
dirk was called upon to subdue the
rampant Cubs.
Aside from that desperate ninth in
ming rally it was Pittsburg's game all
the way. The Wagnerless Pirates
started hitting Lew Richie hard in the
first inning, took advantage of a pair
of slips in the second. paused for a
breathing spell in the middle rounds,
then hammered away until they had a
lead of to when the eighth session

his customary shot at the pin-not
quite on the line. The ball acted ma
turally, but suddenly disappeared. 1t
had unexpectedly found the cup. but
the flag for which he had played was
stuck In the green and not the hole.

OK FLAT IRRIGATION
DISTRICT HOLD MEETING

At meeting in the Ontario
city council rooms yesterday
Swendsen and Swendsen, OF
Boise engineers for the Dead Ok
Flat Irrigation District, outlined
before q laage audience of pro-
spective irrigators tentative
plans for the proposed project
Of irrigating the fiat.
Briefly described the plans
are as follows: From a point on
the Payette River, water will be
divertee through 10 foot pipe
400 feet long, 1160 feet of
which will be tunnel, to a point
on the south fork OF the river
where a drop OF 1874 feet will de-
velope 5000 kilowatts, or ap-
proximately 14,400 horse power.
From the power plant here
power will be transmitted 46
miles to a pumping plant on
Snake river, located in all prob
ability, in the vicinity of the
old Muller plant near the mouth
of Jacobson Gulch.
Ten units, a motor and a tur-
bine pump constituting a unit
will be installed at this place, il
being the contention OF the eng
ineer that a large number OF
small units necessarily must
work smoother than few larger
ones.
Water will be lifted to a Sec
ondary pumping plant, where it
will be distributed into three
bitches located respectively on
210, 900 and $50 foot levels.
Altogether there will be 20, 900
acres under the project. In the
neighborhood OF 2S miles of
main ditch will be constructed.
The cost, it is said, will not run
over $50 an acre or one million
dollars for the whole project.
II has not yet been determined
whether the laterals will be
built by the district or by indl-
viduals.
The board OF directors will
pass on the plans in the near
future.

that we are not clever. We realize
that we like to play better than to
