Road Districts for County.

In conversation with Commits
sioner Day he expressed his opin-
ion of the matter of cutting the
county up in road districts. Mr..
Day undoubtedly has a solution
for the handling of the road mat.
tiers for the county in its present
\ condition. he is of the opinion
that if voting precincts we're made
road districts, and some competent
man in each district was appointed
to oversee the work done in the
district, and draw pay only for the
time actually put in at the work,
and to do no work not authorized
by the Commissioner, that a great
deal more work would be accom-
plished with q great deal less
money. The districts would not
have to be an exact polling pre-
cinct, but something near that
size.
In the psst we have seen big
outfits moved all. over the county
at a big expense and not doing
anything but to draw pay while
moving. His idea is a good one
in more than one way. In small
districts it would not take long
to get to the work and only
what teams were necessary would
have to be hired. This would give
every nan a chance to work and
not confine the work to a few, as
In the past who drew pay day after
day for nothing but moving from
one place to another. This county
is some larger than a COW corral,
aud 1t has been hard for people in
one end of the county to get any
thing done for months, when the
regular road gang was in the other
end.
Mr., Days's proposition should
be met with help from all, so that
We can get better roads all over

are there in abundance, a few
Frenchmen, some Russians, and
Japanese aud Chinese. Perhaps
the Japanese predominant in this
country, Chinese a close second.
All of these nationalities, each ad-
hearing to its national costume,
peculiarities and inclinations, min
gled with Americans and Missouri
ians and you have a motley throng,
full of interest to the student of
human nature. The market is only
a short distance from the waters of
the bay, and you know the ten
dency of everything to seek lower
levels, humanity as we'll as water
and inanimate things. And SO the
nearer you approach the water,
the lower the human drift wood
and the more it shows the pre-
dominance of foreign blood. Still
the Free Market is patronized by
all classes, except the very wealthy,
who have no need to practice econ
omy.
One can save from one-fourth to
one-third on all he buys by patron

sharp eye out for bargains. Fine

though one can get beef and pork.
The fish stalls are filed with all
kinds of strange saltwater pro-
auctions, the names of many of
which I do not know and could
not remember, for they are beyond
the scope of my capacity, and one
needs a quick ear and a knack Of
assimilation to understand them
in that bable of sound and confus-
ion. Salmon, soles, halibut, rock
cod, founders, sea bass, barricuda,
herring and CLAIMS until further
orders, are to be found in profus.

all wore Chinese shoes. The hair
of all three children were nicely
braided and the ends of the braids
fastened to the tops of their heads.
