The neglect of Wakefield. where the

thing Is that Washingtons birthplace
Is very isolated. Indeed, 1t would be
difficult to find a more out-of.the-way
nook in the eastern part Of the
United States. No railroad approaches
within many miles of It. and the only
means Of access is found in the steam
river. In days gone by, these river
craft carried many interested per-
sons to Wakefield. The United States
government built a pier at the planta-
ton, and steamers were enabled to
land passengers almost at the site Of
the manor house In which Washington
was born.

at Wakefield has not been left un-
marked, although isolated and neglect

Americans True to Their Ideal.

For more than century the Ameri-
can people, who are credited by the
world as being a money making and
loving people. making wealth the es.
sential of rank. and being deplorably
destitute OF sentiment, have presented
TO the world an object lesson OF fldel-
w to a lofty ideal in the respect paid
10 the memory Of George Washing
ton. And there is none to assert that
this enthusiasm is due to a romantic
exaggeration of his countrymen and
countrywomen. The searchlight has
been turned on his every deed, and
summing 1t all up the verdict has
been that he was faithful. wise. pure,
unsullied by ambition and unspoiled
by adulation.

UnpIeksd Grapes Go to the Poor.
A curious old law. which dates from
1779. has been used to sentence the
owner Of vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers. France. to fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
ofYense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

Opposes Short Ballot

State Senator R. A. Hutchinson will
be opposed to the short ballot if a
proposal to change the present state
election system comes up in the legis-
lature.
I'VE are agitating the direct election
OF the president and United States SEN
ators," he argues, yet we are pro-
posing to centralize state government
in few elective officers. I believe
that the majority of the people are
more honest and able than two or
three elected officials, no matter who
they may be. Let me also call atten-
ton to the fact that most crooked Of
ficials have generally been appointive
officers. Weak men often become
governors, yet the appointive power Of
nearly all the state officials would be
lodged in them. Our forefathers fought
for representative government and l
believe in maintaining it. You can
get the other kind over in Russia"

excuse for forgetting you altogether.
Be, then, just your usual self; treat him
as you have always treated him, and do
not, for the present, appear to notice
any change in his attitude toward you,
for if he is indeed tired Of you, you will
find it out soon enough in that way,
and if he really cares for you he will
care more for you as you have always
been than any character which you
could possibly assume.

New Railroad to be Finished Next Year

That the road up the Columbia river
will be finished and ready for business
by the middle of next summer is the
prediction of contractors employed on
the work. A force Of 1900 men are
engaged on the Job and will be kept
at work all winter. 1t is expected
that the grade will be ready for track
laying early in the spring and it is es-
timated that a mile Of track can be
laid every day. With the completion
of the road, which will open up one of
the richest sections in the Northwest,
big lux OF settlers is expected.

FayOrs Pacific Highway

Gov. Elect Ernest Lister: believe
in the laying out Of good roads sys-
tenn in this state; that those of you who
are automobile enthusiasts, like myself,
will get better results for the state, will
get better results for yourselves, if, in
figuring roadway, you figure on the
benefit it will be to the farmer in the
particular district it is going through,
and just whether or not two loads Of
farm product can pass on the roadway
rather than two automobiles.
Fortunately. in the one particular
highway upon which the entire state
seems to be agreed there is no ques-
ton but that the farmers highway takes
exactly the same route as would the
Automobiles eighway. I refer to the
Pacific highway. That is highway
I have heard no opposition to the con-
struction of in this state. No highway
could be constructed in this state that
would go through more towns and cities
than will that particular highway. One
little idea in relation to that might be
suggested. In the construction Of a
highway where the work is not all COM
pleted, it might be advisable in all cas-
es, probably. to start from centers Of
population and work out from those
centers, ultimately joining into real
highway rather than starting at some
point where the road would not run, OF
end at any place, where there will be
no real benefit to anyone until the en-
tire roadway is completed. That is
one Of the lines that has to great de-
gree been followed in recent years in
this state. In the earlier days of state
hood that was not entirely the case.
Some roads were constructed in this
state that did not begin or end at any
particular point There are different
forms of construction of highways that
must be considered in connection with
this great proposition.
I know Of no place in the United
States where it is harder to construct
real serviceable, good highways than
in western Washington. We have this
condition to face, that in the construc-
ton OF roadways in western Washington
the great thought at all times to be
kept in mind is that of caring for the
drainage. I care not what type oil
roadway may be constructed, whether
it be the higher class of permanent
highway or the cheaper grade of road
way, the one thing which has at all
times to be considered is the taking
care of the drainage, so that the road
way will not be washed away every
time we have our winter rains. That
can be done; it ought do be done.

Fruit Growers, Take Notice

This is the season when mice do a
great deal of damage in the orchard.
The little rodents, in their search for
winter food, work their way under the
snow to the trunks of the trees and
then work around the trunk eating
away the bark. In this manner the
trees are often completely girdlec and
killed. Get rid Of the mice if you find
that they are infesting the orchard.
