Inspect Roads
RIGHT OF WAY PROBLEM
Better DTaiHOge They Believe Will
Minimize Repair Expenses.

County commissioners Esgate.
Libby and Downie, aside from the
purpose of meeting the st. Maries
people IN regard to the St. Maries
fair, have been spending a few days
in the city looking over the road con
ditious, with the idea of learning
what will be required In the way of
new roads and improvements on the
old ones during the coming season.
This Is practically the first trip
the commissioners have made In re-
gard to the road question. but now
the season Is here they are deslrous
of accomplishing rs much as possible
IN relieving the road conditions
throughout the county, Since the
men assumed office they have been
flooded With petitions to create new
roads, the greater portion of the re
quests coming from the newly opened
region near Plummer, Desmet, and
this city.
During their stay here the board
made personal trips over three roads
asked for ln close vicinity to this
city, one on Alder Greek, one on
Cherry Greek about two and a half
miles long, Rud one called th Mutch
Greek road. All three Of these roads
have been surveyed by the county
surveyor, but are tied up on the right
of way problem. On Cherry creek
road all the easements 10 the right OF
way except one have been signed, the
property owners except In the one
case, donating the right of way to the
county.
On the Mutch Greek road the right
of way is secured except through the
land held by the Occur 'Alene Lum
Der Company. this Elght of way, the
commissioners feeling sure, will bG
given by the company as coon as they
have seen the manager. Mr.. Carroll.
In speaking of the purposes and
work of the board, Commissioner O.

incurred by not having the drain

necessary to practically rebuild th

Celebrate in London

London, July 4.-The American ambas-
sador. Walter II. Page, and the recently
appointed Japanese ambassador, Count
Natsuno Suke 1nouye, were among the
many distinguished guests at the dinner
of the American society this evening in
celebration of the Fourth. Many resident
and visiting Americans and English no.
tables attended. Mrs. Page and other
adies watched the proceedings from the
gallery, which was draped with Ameri-
can and British flags.
After toasts to the President and The
King the Right Hon. Frederick f. Smith
gave toast to Ambassador Page
The ambassador in responding spoke of
the ideal republic, which, he said, had
naturally been obscured by the abnormal
industrial developments of the last 30
years.
1t came to pass, he said, that the gov
ernment gave special privileges to spe-
eal classes. The people found out this
abridgement of economic freedom and
set out to remove it. This was the begin
ming of the latest American revolution
and social unrest. The change in party
was only one expression of this desire,
if this did not succeed, the people could
change the party control again.
The japanese amba ssador. replying to
toast to Our Guests expressed the
hope that Western Americans visiting
Japan would be the bearers of good will.
Arriving in England just after the
American ambassador, his place at pub
lie functions would be next to Mr.. Page.
which he said, seemed to augur good.

Fourth of July in the history of Birming-
ham, said Chief of Police George II.
Bodeker last night. "There was not the
slightest symptom of 'rowdyness and l
doubt seriously if there was a firecracker
exploded within the city limits during the
day.
ION Thursday night l instructed all of
my men to maintain order during the
Fourth of July at any cost, and I want to
compliment them on their excellent
work"
From the sheriff's office the report was
that the Fourth of July was an unusually
quiet day for the deputies and few ar
rests were made.

Paris Citizens Observe Day

Paris, July 4.-The members of the
American chamber of commerce of Paris
and their American and French friends
celebrated the Fourth by dining together
tonight.
The French government honored the
occasion by sending a detachment of re-
publican guards, who in their picturesque
uniforms were disposed at intervals be-
hind the long guest table. The minister
of commerce, Louis Masse, and other
government representatives were present.
The American ambassador Myron 7.
Herrick, in his speech alluded to the pow
erful forces joining France and the Uni
ted States. some of which were repre-
sented at the dinner.
Ambassador Herricl< dwelt at length on
the advantages to the United States of
financing the farmers by long time cheap
credits with gradual amortization such as
farmers of France. Germany, Hungary
and Italy now enjoy. =
NJ Masse, the minister of commerce.
alluding to the American tariff, expressed
doubt whether the revision under con-
sideraton would be advantageous to
French commerce. The principal COM
plant of France against the tariff was
in its administration. He believed it
would best promote international COM
mercial peace if the United States I'M
posed specific duties only and not specific
and ad valorem duties.

ence j. Ownes of Washington, chairman
of the agricultural commission, and Mar

lice fired upon them, and compelled
them to retreat. They soon renewed the
attack, however, whefeupon the dra
goons charged and dispersed them.
Intermittent firing took place in sew
eral parts of the city and up to mid
night 80 persons had been taken TO
hospitals.
Early in the evening the strikers at
tempted to hold a meeting in the mar
ket place. but it was suppressed by the
police. This inflamed the strikers and
in various parts of the city rioting
began For a time even the troops were
powerless to check the mob. Strikers
forced the tram car drivers to take
their cars to their depots. Then, head
ed by women bearing red flags, they
seized the municipal power station, ex-
PEELED the engineers and cut off the
electric supply of the city. which was
plunged in darkness for an hour or two
until troops arrived and drove out the
: strikers.
Another contingent of strike SYM

Transvaal, and stopped the train serv-
Ice Hundreds of strikers tried to rush
the entrances to the <leinfontein mines
where BLACK legs" were working. The
troops kept them at bay until the po-
lice dispersed them.
The strike leaders repudiate the ex-
cesses. but the men are in ugly tenn

The situation existing this evening was
never eaualed here. The mobs which
seized the railway station at Johannes

a mile away, held up all outgoing trains
Later, when the police got the upper

The strikers will stick at nothing 1t
Is feared that many of the mines will

SERIOUS FIGHTING
IN MACEDONIA
Conflicting Reports Prevent
Accurate Idea of Out
come of Struggle

London. July 4.--Evidence that seri-
Gus fshting is occurring in Mace
donia is found in the arrival of large
numbers of wounded and prisoners at
the various Balkan capitals. but owing
to silence ut Sofia and the conflict-
ing and probably biased stories from
Servian and Greek sources, 1t is i'm
possible to form an accurate idea of
the struggle.
There has been no formal declara-
tion Of war and although it is report
ed the Bulgarian minister to Greece has
been recalled. he has not departed from
Athens.
Premier Vonizelss announced in the
Greek parliament today that the Greek
forces had won a victory at Kilkish
and captured so guns. This appears
to have been gained by the amazing
swiftness of the Greek advance from
Seloniki. which. according to cores
pondents. surprised the Bulgarians.
The Servians claim victorious ad-
vance 20 Kotchana but the Servian in
vasion of Bulgaria has been repulsed
and Bulgaria, it is reported, is eXecut-
ing a turning move which will nullify
the Servian advance.
suspension of judgment regarding
| the operations, therefore. is advisable
in the absence of accurate accounts.
The reported change in the ministry
at Sofia has not yet been confirmed
but is regarded as probable Roumania
has officially proclaimed the mobliza-
tion Of her full strength. but her in
| tentions are still unknown.
] The French government has inform
| ally approached the other powers with
the object of obtaining a declaration OF
| non intervention. The greatest anxiety
prevails in financial circles at ST. Pc
torsburg where the report was current
| today that the Emperor has threat
ened to break off diplomatic relations
with the Balkan states unless hostil-
| tiles ceased.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent oi
