Proposal that the Meadow Boule-
ward be paved has been made to the
Board of Freeholders by Japhet Price,
Road Supervisor. His annual report
shows that over $4,000 has been
spent the past year in keeping the
drive in repair. Beyond suggesting
the big improvement, no action was
taken. 1t is estimated the paving
would cost about $175,0O0. Mr. Price
recommended that if it is impossible
to pave the drive the whole width, a
strip of 80 feet in the center be paw
ed. His report to the Board follows

PRICE RECOMMENDS PERMANENT
PAVING FOR MEADOW BOULEVARD
January II, 1914.
Mr.. George B. Jeffers,

Mr.. George B. Jeffers,
Chairman of Road Committee
Dear Sir:-With your permission |
desire to submit the following recon-
mendations for some of the road work
which in my judgment should receive
the consideration of your committee
this year. In consideration of the
heavy travel and the cost of repairs,
and also considering the benefits to be
derived from having a permanent
pavement on the Meadow Boulevard,
in my judgment the matter of paving
this road should be taken up by your
committee at an early date. If it is
not possible to have the entire width
paved, then probably a 30-foot wide
pavement in the center of the road
would meet the demand of travel.
The Longport drive should also be
taken up and the permanent pave
ment continued on to the end of the
road to Longport. This is a very ex-
pensive road to maintain in its pres
ent condition.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed) JAPHET PRICE.
The annual report of Supervisor
Price was submitted and accepted by
the Board. 1t shows that the county
during the past year expended $780,
459.72 on the various county roads,

REPEATING AN OLD STORY.
Pueblo Star-Journal.

Pueblo Star-Journal.
Sessions of the federal industrial
relations commission SO far do not
indicate that much that is new will
be brought out in relation to the coal
strike. 1t is evident that much of
the testimony will be purely personal
opinions of the witnesses and of no
value in arriving at any trustworthy
conclusion as to the strike or its
causes.
This latest hearing will cover
ground gone over before by the con
gressional investigation committee. II
may bring out few new facts, but
they will not be of sufficient impor-
tance to warrant the holding of the
hearing. Time and money woulc
have been saved by the members Sc
curing a copy of the congressional re
port and securing from it such fact
as they might need to cover the Colo
rado situation.
All that will be accomplished b,
the hearing is to give Colorado NOR,
unenviable notoriety through the pub
lication in various parts of the coun
try of the proceedings of the commits
sion. 1t would have been an excellen
thing for the state if the commission
had decided to take the advice of Gov
ernor Ammons and Governor-elec
Carlson not to visit the state. By tn
time the hearing is concluded evel
the members of the commission ma,
be convinced that the request was
most reasonable one.

JAPAN TO AMERICA"

The caption is the title of book
published by G. P. Putnam's Sons,
New York ($1.25 metz. 1t will never
become best seller, not being that
kind of book, but it is fine, friend
ly instructive book, which commends
itself to all who are interested in mat
tiers as large as international affairs
Though edited by Naochi Masacka
Japanese professor and journalist, nc
one nan is its author. Instead it is
syIaposium of conditions in japan
and he feeling of that nation toward
America and the world from the pens
of htatesmen and other leaders of
tho ight in Japan. Briefly, it tells
moee of Japan's progress in western
ways than may be generally known
and of the Japanese hope of uniting
the east and west; of giving to the
Occident the best of Oriental civiliza-
tion in exchange for more modern
methods; of the Japanese desire to
maintain peace in the world, particu.
larly with America.
These professions of peace might
sound more sincere had not Japan SO
readily broke into the European war
but there was the Anglo-Japanese al
lance of long standing, and it isn't
particularly our affair who partici-
pates in the world free-for-all, so long
as we keep out, says the Atchison
Globe. And, SO far as our friendly
relations with Japan are concerned
they ought to be maintained without
much trouble. They would like i'm
migration privileges in this country,
as this book makes plain, but fight.
ing for them would be too high a
price. This is about the only point of
conflict between the two countries.
and that is no cause for alarm. We
surely want nothing Japan has which
means there is little chance of irrita-
tion in the far east.
And at this season of this particu-
lar year any book that speaks for
peace and good will surely ought to
help some. A better understanding
among the nations of the world must
be the first step toward lasting peace
which seems increasingly desirable in
the midst of the worlds greatest war.
This country should be friendly to
Japan so long as the Japs feel that
way about it.

ROAD MODELS.

AT the Fourth American Road con-
gress, held at Atlanta, November g.
IL, the U. S. department of agricul-
ture exhibited complete set of mod
els illustrating the construction and
maintenance of standard types of
roads. Included in this set were mod
els SHOWING the development of stone
road building for 1000 years past,
among which were the Appian Way,
representing an ancient Roman tvpe
OF construction, samples of early
French roads, the Telford, and early
and modern Macadam roads. Other
models shown illustrated questions of
road location, bad alignment, improp-
er grades, dangerous crossings. nm
safe bridges and many other features
necessary to understand when layine
out good roads. The whole field Of
road building was covered, and it was
the most complete educational ex-
hlbit ever attempted in this country
All Of these models made on a scaIe
oil inch to the foot, were large
enough to perfectly illustrate their
point. Besides the models an auto
matte propectoscope presented self
reading lantern slides.

sKINLEss LEGS.

January 11th was beautiful, calm
sunshiny day, writes Explorer Doug
las Wawson in the November Strand
The surface was good and slightly
downhill. From the start my feet
felt very lumpy and sore. After COW
ering mile they had become so poin.
ful that | decided to make an exami-
nation of them on the spot. 1t being
a still, sunny day, it was possible to
do this sitting on the sledge. The
sight gave me quite shock, for the
skin, thickened by habitually walking
only in fur boots, had separated. In
each case complete cast was shed,
and abundant watery fluid had es-
capped into the socks. In the absence
of nutriment no adequate under-skin
had formed. The frail tissue was ey-
erywhere abraded and raw.
l did what appeared to be the best
in the circumstances-sme them
well with lanoline, of which. fortu-
nately, there was a good store, and
with bandages lashed the sllincasts
back in place, as they were comfort
able and soft to touch the raw sur
face. Above this l wore six pairs
of thick woolen socks, fur boots, and
soft leather overshoe.

RINDERpEST IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Rinderpest, which has decimated
the carabao in the Philippines for
many years in spite of energetic
quarantine measures, will probably
be stamped out entirely before long,
if the new plan under consideration
of immunizing the cattle against this
disease should prove successful. An.
official test recently made on 5000
animals proves that permanent i'm
munity can be attained by a simple
process, at cost of not more than
80 cents a head, and with a loss of
less than L per cent of the animals
treated. 1t is estimated that all the
cattle in the infected provinces could
be immunized in two or three years
at total cost of not more. than $780,
900, which is about half what the
government now spends each year for
quarantine, while 81, 900 would in
sure owners agaiHN - by the i'm
munizing process. A )er expense
of $4,000 year wooxd provide for
the inoculation of all young stock
and imported cattle.

From the Denver Post it is appar-
ent that one-third of the automobile
owners in Colorado manage to eludo
the assessors. According to returns
there are only 12,772 assessed, while
the county license departments ac-
count for 1928 cares. In Denver
the assessor was able to detect only
two-thirds of the cars in use. In
Boulder county the license department
showed 166 motorcycles but the as
SCISSOR failed to detect a single one,

Gambling has been discovered in
Denver-again. District Attorney
Rush declares he is going into the
probe to find out whether police are
protecting games and will weed out
offenders. We have read about this
being done so often in Denver that il
comes as a joke. 1t is well known
that any kind of game can be found
at any Of the old resorts at any old
time, the only conclusion that can be
drawn is to call attention to gambl-

WHERE PELICANs ARE TAME.

klamath Lake, on the border line
between California and Oregon, is one
of the most extensive and populous
breeding resorts for wild fowl in the
entire country, according to Bird
Lore.
Mrs. L. H. Bath was appointed
game warden of the territory in 1912.
She personally makes the rounds of
lake shore and streams. An eye-wit-
ness says, "Birds are as safe in Mrs.
Baths district as they are in her back
yard" Mrs. Bath has earnest help
ers in the children of the locality
whom she has taught to feed the
wild fowl instead of stoning them
So strongly has she impressed the
community with the propriety of car
ing for these birds that, last year,
more than fifty wild ducks were
hatched on the river banks within
the city limits.
Last summer six white pelicans de-
eided to locate on Klamath Lake, and
by dint of careful coaxing with live
fish held in her hands, Mrs. Bath now
has the family of pelicans so tame
that they come daily for their meals,
which they eat from her hand, and
then follow her wherever she goes.
