If the farmers of Pepperton town

the road north of the track from
Morris to Alberta indicate that that is
going to be state highway and part of
maeadamized Yellowstone Park
route, they are due to be cruelty dis
appointed. This road is at present
laid south Of the track and $4,000
has been appropriated for work on it
this year.
The Dunn Road Law.
The great amount of money which
the Dunn road law will make avail
able makes it necessary that this
state road work get started right.
Based IN last years valuation
Stevens county Will pay toward this
fund only SIS. 491. 48. but will receive
back at least $13, 397. SO. With in
creased valuations this county will
get from SIS 600 up from the
state each year Twenty per cent of
this will be spent on the maintenance
of state roads and bridges. Twenty
/ FIVE per cent of the balance may be
expended On county roads but the
balance must be spent on state roads,
the state to pay 20 per cent and the
county 80 per cent. This will give a
magnificent sum for the building of
permanent highways. All road taxes
will be paid in cash. and townships
this year should levy enough addition
al to take the place of the road taxes
usually levied in labor.
Much more might be said on the
suhjec II state roads bat lack oi

enough to awaken interest among tht
people on this subject and start dis

The county commissioners vii
have special session to considel

Not Private Boulevards.

State roads Snoud be selected where
the travel is and where the people
will use them and not as private
boulevards to somebody's farm.
Some believe that good state roads
should be built first of all for the
benefit of the farmer. and should pro-
vide the farmer with a good road
from the country to the town. Others
believe in building trunk roads across
the country from town to town.
The Tribune has discussed this
question editorially several times. but
we wish the reader to understand we
are now calling attention to an entirely
different matter. All will agree thai
state road should be built where the
travel is that will serve the Creates
number of people.
Our main roads now in use are the
one which should be improved. Peo
pie began travelling them many year
ago. They made road at certain
place because they wanted it there
Then they built their houses aIonI
that road, and later branch roads be
gan to be used, and the houses OIL
these branch roads were built at
point nearest the main road.
/ To adopt any other policy than tha
of improving the main travelled road
would be an attempt to divert th
course. of travel and turn around th
: farms and because of these foolish an
impossible purposes would simply re
suit in the gross waste of public money

COURT M0D|F|ES
 RESTRA|N|NC0RDER
Allows Defendants in Cache Creek Case to Continue Mining
 With Restrictions.

Judge. Overfield in the district court yesterday afternoon medi-
 fled the restraining order, pre-.
 viously granted at the suit of the Cache Greek Mining company against Henry Bahrenburg and Louis Bub,. to prevent defendants
 from sluicing through ground in
 dispute between the parties. :,
 The modified order. allows. the defendants to continue sluicing into Dollar creek, but restraints them from depositing tailings in
 substantial quantity on the dis |puted claim, which is just below
 where the defendants are working on a gulch. The scene of the ac- tion is in the Yentna district. Dollar creek is tributary of
 Cache creek, and the plaintiff
 company owns property on both creeks. The defendants own
 claims above the big company on Dollar creek, and have relocated
 the company's upper claim on the theory that the company failed to do assessment work on it for sev- eral years. It is the alleged dump ing by defendants on this claim that gave rise to the action, which also involves the ownership of the claim.
 The case will be tried on the merits next fall at Seward. Mean time the defendants can continue work without: difficulty..as : they say most of their tailings was
 down the creek, anyway.

Furthermore, as the bill never had been considered or passed by the Senate, Wicker sham did not kill it in the House.
