WHO OWNS THE STREET.

Mr.. G. A. F., Westport, WASH,
says: ''To settle a dispute tell us
whether property owner on one side
of the street in an unincorporated
village can take earth from the OPP
posite side, fronting another mans
property, providing it does not injure
it?'
AS this is an unincorporated town
the streets have probably been dedi
Gated to the county. If they have
not they are private property and no
person could take another mans
property without his consent. II the
streets have been dedicated the control
of them is en- tirely with the county
omm issioners in this state and if no
injury was done they would probably
give the party the right to remove
dirt. However, he would have no
legal right to do so. The party own
ing the land adjoining the street
would have no authority over the
street after it's dedication.

Frederick Weyerhaueser, the great
lumber king, died at his winter home
in California last week. Mr.. Weyer-
haueser was among the wealthiest
men in the world. 1t is estim ated
that the inheritance tax in this state
will amount to $25, 600. The state
collected recently $1,000 on the estate
of Stephen Devenish, Of Sprague.
This is a tax that harms none and re-
suits in large saving to the people

The spring elections last week
throughout the Middle West we're re-
markable for the gain in dry ter
ri.ory. Never has there been so
much interest displayed by the local
optionists and never have so many
victories been recorded. In Illinois
IL large cities went dry, while only
two went wet. There are now 45 dry
counties in the state OF illinois and
more than 1000 saloons we're voted
out of existence. A peculiar situa-
tion developed in Nebraska where To-
cal optionists voted on Sunday base
ball as we'll as on the liquor question.
Towns we're given an opportunity to
vote on whether ball playing should
be allowed on Sunday and in nearly
every instance Sunday base ball won.

the road between them. When we
reach that point, we will have good
roads in the corn belt nine months
of the year, better roads than any
thing else except asphalt, better roads
than we ever dreamed of, even when
the roads are at their worst.
What is to be done? After giving
the water chance to run off from
under the road and alongside of it.
give it a chance to run off the road
itself by dragging it after each rain !;
that's all. No; it's not quite all.
There is time coming in the next
two months when there will be no
rain, and the frost is going out, when
the foundation of a good road the
whole summer may be laid by simply
dragging it when the frost is out of
the first inch. Then after every rain
get out and drag your road, and thus
do credit to yourself and confer a
benefit on your neighborhood. Until
we reach that ideal condition when
every farmer will take as much pride
in his road as he does in his wife's
appearance and his own when he goes
to church, We should have an organ
ization in each township, whether the
law requires dragging or not, that
will see to it that the road is dragged
after every rain. The water will run
off of it, the sun will shine on it,
the winds will blow over it, and we
will have the best road that is pos
sible on the prairie soils of the corn
belt, and with the minimum of ex-
pense.
II the road drag we're not so cheap
and SO simple and so easily operated,
we might possibly get better roads
sooner than we will If road drags
cost fifteen or twenty dollars, painted
red and fancy in shape. we suppose
farmers would invest in and use
them. The thing is too simple, too
cheap, to take we'll. The inference is
that it can't be worth much-a wrong
inference in this case. Wallaces

DRAGGING THE ROADS.

There are few things about road
making that are definitely establish
ed. One is that no matter what
material you use, you cannot have a
good road without drainage, natural
or artificial No road is good when
it is muddy; no road is good when 1T
is soft; and no material which you
can put on road that lacks drainage
will stay there. A great many roads
in the corn belt, most of them in
fact, except in very level districts,
have natural drainage. IT not, it
should be provided. Here and there
on all the roads in the rolling coun-
try there are seepy places which can
be remedied only by under drainage.
You cannot have good road without
grading, that is, SO elevating the
middle of the road that the water will
run off the road bed. Water will run
off, if we give it chance, either by
surface or under drainage If the
road is kept smooth, water will run
off the surface. We do not care to
argue this proposition; every farmer
knows all about it.
Nine tenths of the roads in the
corn belt must be dirt roads. Given
drainage, either open or under drain
age, there is no other instrument yet
devised that will main tain road so
cheaply as a road drag. The grader
may be necessary for rounding up the
road in the first place, and cutting
bitches at the side; but after that
the road drag, which will not cost five
dollars, is better than road grader
that may cost five hundred.
All these things have been clearly
demonstrated. Why is it that the
roads are not dragged? Why is it
that in travelling over The country
you will come to stretch Of road
that is an absolute delight, and in
the next district, with the same con-
ditions, you will find road that is
productive of internal profanity, ii
nothing worse? Simply because in
one district the farmers know how to
use the road drag, and in the others
they don't.
To get the roads dragged requires
organiza ton. The laws in some
states compel it, so popular has the
road drag become; but such laws are
perfectly useless unless farmers are
willing to organize and obey them.
The time will conceive are not
prepared to say how soon-when
there will be no need of law to in
duce farmers to drag the roads.
Every man will have so much pride
in his own farm that he will see to it
that the road will be dragged along
his line, either by agreement betwixt
him and his neighbor on the other
side of the road, or the division of

 The report of the trial is one O. tlnel most vo1uminous ever taken in a court Of record in the time the trial has been in progress, and when published will probably make the most valuable set of text books on the subject Of milk as food that has ever been gather ed.
 The milk dealers and producers. of the entire country have been interest ed in the trial as they claim that the regulations that the government has been trying to put in force will pre-. state commerce unless it de pasteur- ized, and that the purchase of the pasteurizing plants will involve SO much money that they will have to go out of business or conffne their sales to their home states. As there is a. tendency on the part of State health authorities to follow the Fed eraI regulations the dairyrnen say that they have got to establish for all time proof that milk in it's raw state can be marketed dn a heaIthful condition.

 The dairymen claim that there is movement afoot throughout the conn try, backed by a combination of cap fta1, to control the milk output of the. country and the milk sterfIizing ma chinery so that in a. few years raw milk that the authordties can certify to will sell at a price prohibitive to the average family, and the majority Of the city people will be obliged to use either timed milk or milk that has been treated by the machinery of the milk combination
 If Attorney OsBrien is successful in his light against the government pros ecutor he will probably be called upon to devote all of his time to the inter- ests of the dairymen of the country.

WELLESLEY iiGRADS"
 WILL AID COLLEGE
Meeting Here Tomorrow to Discuss Plans and Seek Funds-Brave Action of Fac. ulty and Scholars Deserves Reward.

All friends of Wellesley college nv- ing in Bridgeport, are asked to meet with former and present members of the college on Tuesday afternoon, C. A, 1087 Broad street, to consider what may be done in this city to- ward helping the fund for rebuilding.
 Immediate rebuilding is most 11r- gently necessary, if the college is to continue it's work with success. The destruction of it's great main build- ing by fire on March 1T. wiped out all the administrative offices. nearly all the c1ass-rooTns, the laboratories with instruments and collections, of four scientific departments, and the rooms and personal belongings of some 25O students and members of the fac-. dlty- Temporary arrangements are being made for the holding of classes and the housing of those burned out. But couTa geous as are the members of the college about undertaking to con tinue their work this year under try ing conditions: they realize that work cannot be carried on for a long period in that way
 If to the efforts of Wellesley students and their friends in this city is add ed the cooperation of members of other colleges and of all others who have been so generous in their praise of the conduct Of the occupants of the burning building, some measures for the assistance of wellesley may be carried out. It is surely 8 matter Of pride for all American men and Wo-l men that these 250 girls and women showed such coo1ness, good sense, pluck and fortitude. There was nos cry of fire no mad rush for safety. no forg getting of others. They waited quietly with the brands falling about them for assurance that all were present or accounted for, and then walked out of the doors in perfect orr. der, while the college officers, for an additional precantion, checked off each name from a house-1ist, as the owner passed.
 Courageous as were the girls the members of the faculty deserve es- peciaI credit. For many of them, their rooms in this building were home, and held all the possessions dear to them. Some whose rooms were far thest from the origin of the fire, could have gone back. to rescue somethings but knowing that to do so would set a dangerdus example to the students they stood back, and watched the fire work towards their rooms without a word.
 Anyone who is interested in helping Wellesley rebuild but is unable to. attend the meeting on Tuesday, is urged to send name and address to- Miss May Davenport 408 Laurel ave nue; Miss Mabel Ravens, z2z9 North Main street: Miss Charlotte Smith, Stratford or Miss Elizabeth Nanwax- ing. 560 Noble avenue

Washington. March 2s.-Attorney Matthew E. O'Brien, better known here as -Governors, OsBrien,is is now the champion Of the milk dealers or the District of Columbia He recently startled the government experts of{the Department Of Agricu1ture by his knowledge of bacteriology- Iast April the experts Of the department caused the arrests of 161 milk dealers because Of the bacteria that was alleged to be in the milk they sold. They said that they were going to arrest milk up to a standard satisfactory to them
 The dealers were in a state of con- steruation and said that the govern ment was too ethical in its demands. They hired OBrien, who came to Washington in the interests of the Prohibition party 8 few years ago, and asked him If he could do as well for the milk dealers as he had done for the cold water sconsuIners. O,Brfen served notice on the Department of. ,AgricuIture at once that 1t could con- tinue to arrest miIlxInen If 1t wanted to. but from his way of reckoning 1t had already arrested enough dealers; to occupy twenty years of the time of the district courts.
