States Bad Roads.

Road conditions in West Virginia
as now existing should be tolerated
no longer than it is possible with
the quickest dispatch within the
power Of the state and people to
correct, West Virginia roads are
very detrimental to the state. They
are astoundingly expensive and woe
fully lacking in service. The ex-
praditure is enormous on them. The
returns are small and most annoy
ing and costly. The West Virginia
Board OF Trade will present to the
Legislature a brief statement as fol
lows concerning them and what
should be done in the matter at once
as follows:
West Virginia has 32,1Os miles
OF public roads, with only $751; or
less than two per cent, improved.
This brief statement puts the
road situation in a nutshell and tells
the whole story of our crying needs.
Thirty-six counties have no i'm
proved roads at all, and only Ohio
and jefferson lay any claim to any
considerable system of good high
ways. Ut is estimated conservative
ly that West Virginia farmers are
paying an almost direct tax of 49,
100000 as the increased cost of
hauling only eight of their principal
farm crops to railroad or water
transportation on our present roads
over what It would cost to haul
them over improved roads. Be
sides this, the impossible condition
of our roads is largely responsible
for the 100000, 600 to $4,000, 900
sent out of the state. each year. Tor

When legislators, county courts,
road men, farmers and others arrive
at a true appreciation of good
roads, they will certainly no longer
stand for the conditions the board
Of trade has described.
The Hatfield administration has
promised a liberal and comprehen-
sive good roads policy. 1t is hoped
by all men who want a higher and

The following is reproduced from

the hope that the fifteen Democratic
members of the state senate will en-
gage in no unseemly wrangle over
the presidency of that body when
the legislature convenes in Charles
ton on Thursday next.
"The people of West Virginia, by
their votes in November, declared
that they wished Republican ad-
ministration of the important affairs
of the state. And eleven Of the IF

There is no selfish motive behind
this gratuitous~advlce to the Demo

mere expression Of resignation to
the will OF the people. indeed, 1t is
the very embodiment of intense pa

Mans Rest AGE.

Taking the place of DR.. William

when he passes the fortieth mile.
stone is the more consoling conclu-
sion drawn from symposium just
featured in Berlin publication that
the man of fifty years is not only as
valuable but frequently more useful
than the man who has seen forty win
ters.
Noted physicians, commercial
men, artists and others in this sym
postum agree that the man of so Is
highagIsuperio9 in intellectual worth
owing to his reliability, steadiness,
exnenende land rational living; that
the manl6f' that age has scarcely be-
gun to grow old, decreased elasticity
being'revealed only in exceptional
andleabnormal cases; and that most
of the most celebrated men have
achieved their best work between
the ages Of 40 and 60. Ii
These conclusions were doubtless
arrived at with due consideration of
geographical, racial and social con-
ditions and may be accepted as gem
eral in Their application. Every
body, whether under or over forty,
will hope, however, that they are
correct as a basis for general rule.
Anything tending to longevity has

in the same regiment as Hayes and

presidents of the United States.
After the war Mr.. Chamberlin went
back to Ohio, and on April Is, 1868, he
was married to Miss Malissa Steven
son, a native of Pennsylvania. The
young couple moved to Pennsylvania,
and remained in the Keystone state
until they came to Dakota in 1888.
Buying a REIMBURSEMENT from Win.
Hutsinpiller, they settled on tree
claim % miles southeast of Cakes. For
thirteen years afterwards they culti-
waited the place as a tree claim, then
made homestead entry and in five more
years proved up. The place is now
known as Pleasant View Farm, and
the nice grove of trees shows that the
work of earlier years was not in vain.
Alva Brown, who married their eldest
daughter, now resides on the farm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlin have seven

The above picture represents the
happy gathering at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. N. Chamberlin, at the
birthday dinner given in honor of Mr..
Chamberlin on May 28th. He had
reached the sixty-eighth milestone of
his career on that date, and Mrs.
Chamberlin and daughters prepared a
surprise for him by inviting in some
friends and nelghbors to make the day
a pleasant one. And happy it was too.
1t was beautiful warm day, and the
tables were set on the lawn, in the
shade of the trees overhanging the res
idence. Grandpa Chamberlin now sits
in fine Morris chair, which he prizes
highly, as it was the gift of those who
had assembled that day.
John Newton Chamberlin was born
away in the northeast corner of the
great state of Ohio, on May %, 1S45.
He was born and raised on farm near
Vienna in Trumbull county. When
barely nineteen years of age he offered
his services in the war of the rebellion,
and was accepted as member of Com
pany l, 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
the date of his enlistment being March
16, 1864. He served seventeen months,
or until the end of the war. He fought
in such important engagements of that
struggle as Cedar Creek, Winchester,

in Oakes. The youngest son, Moss,
was killed in the winter of 1911, while
braking on the 500 north of Bismarck.
Mr.. Chamberlin was a miller by
trade. He helped here in the building
OF the flour mill, and afterwards was
miller. In those days it is said the
housewife bought the Oakes flour to
get the verses written on the flour
sacks, and the verses were traced di-
rectly to Chamberlin. Those who
heard him at last Memorial Day exer-
cises can attest to his fondness for
poetry, for he recited long poem
without miss or skip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlin are devoted
members of the Methodist church.
They retired from the farm some years
ago and have home on Second street,
just as close to the church of their
choice as they could get at the time.
j. N. relates that one of the happiest
things of his birthday anniversary was
the congratulations sent by his elder
brother, M. N. Chamberlin, who now
resides at Owatonna, Mimi, and who
donated literally toward the present.
The two. brothers served together eight
years in'the Oakes postoffice, the elder

RAILROAD STOCKS
GREATLY.AFFECTED
Bad Slump Follows Minnesota
Rate Decision.

New York, June 11.-Wall streets
Interpretation of the effect on the rail-
roads of the Minnesota rate decision
was shown at the opening of the stock
market when railroad stocks slumpea
badly.
The Hill stocks, which were directly
concerned in the Minnesota case, were
the heaviest sufferers, but virtually all
stocks traded in fell to the lowest
level of the year, with losses extend
ing to more than four points.
Brokers clustered about the trading
posts on the floor of the stock ex-
change long before the opening of the
market, which was the signal for ex-
cited selling. In the first downward
rush large blocks of stocks were mar.
keted.
