COST OF GOOD ROADS.

The Log Cabin Democrat publishes today a communication from John Andrews regarding the cost of the proposed turnpikes in this county. Living on an 80-acre farm near Con- way, he assumes that his land will be included in each of the three pro- posed road improvement districts and will be taxed for the cost of three roads. We believe that this assump- tion is unwarranted. We agree with MT. Andrews that it would not be equitable to place such an assess ment against his land As previous iy stated in this paper, if all three road districts should be created, and each district should include all lands within three miles on either side of the road, would be an overlapping of the districts as each road approached within three miles of Conway In the formation of the district, this would certainly have to be considered and the districts would have to be mar rowed in the vicinity of Conway so that there would be no conflict or overlapping. This is a detail that can very easily be worked out.
 Another detail to be worked out is the apportionment of the tax with re- lation to the proximity of lands to the road A tract of land lying just within the three mile limit would not be benefited so much as tract in the center of the district and fronting upon the road. The cost per acre es- timated by Engineer Carter is the average cost, and not the exact amount against each tract. The value of the land is still another factor to be taken into consideration. All of these details will have to- be work ed out by the board of asses sors who will fix the benefits at taching to each parcel of land. These assessors, it is understood, will be elected by the voters of the districts m each county.
 But while it is not possible that the average cost per year would be so great as MT. Andrews estimates, yet even at these figures it would not be bad investment. It would be we'll worth dollar month to the owner of every 80-acre farm in the county to have a turnpike leading to town, on which he could easily haul three or four times as heavy loads and haul them as readily in the rainy seasons as in the dry seasons. And besides saving its cost in hauling, a conser- vative estimate of the enhanced val ue of the land would be an average of S10 per acre.

A Second Accusation.

A Second Accusation.
 ~ ENERAL LOVE sat at his ' desk trying vainly to figure
 out what motive there could O have been for his trusted aids taking the desperate chance of which he had accused him.
 But no matter in which direction he turned, the general was unable to see how the young officer could be honest. Where had he received the money so unexpectedly that led him to believe he might be married before his pro- motion was confirmed? And yet-al- ways there was that yet" to contend with. He knew the boy, knew him so we'll he had been willing to intrust his daughters life to him. and he could not believe that Gibson was guilty of the charge
 He was reused from the reverie into which he had fallen by the entrance of his orderly, who told him of Lu- cille's flight to the Empress. Alarmed, the general sent for Harley.
 Briefly Harley told of his trip to the Empress with Lucille, the earnestness of her pleadings. the final words that had won his consent.
 For the honor of the man love"
 Over and over again he repeated the words. trying to make something of them. Of course she meant Gibson. but what could she find out on the Empress relating to the robbery of the safe in this office? Puzzled he ordered his aid brought before him. There was a certain suspicion, an air of contempt in the very figure of Gibson that told

 "But you are not stranger" She smiled curiously. "Yon knew my name and that made me feel really ac- quainted when you were hurt" There was something penetrating in the eyes fastened upon his own. something guileful about the suggestive expres sion of her tones that put him instant ly on guard.
 Day followed day with ever his fac ultieS fastened on the necessity for caution. A curious sort of friendship sprang up between them, q friendship partaking more of an armed neutrality without the formality of flag of truce than anything else he could imagine.
 With the alleviation of Hugo Lou beque's sufferings the old animosity and purpose hourished with redoubled vigor.

 His life must have made him more than unusually sensitive to impress sions, for full quarter hour elapsed after he had resumed his seat before barely perceptible thudding sound came from beneath the deck.

MAY PLEAD GUILTY TO THE
TIKAS' ATTACK


Denver, COL, May 26.-Leutenant
Karl E. Linderfelt, one of the prin-
cipal military leaders at the recent
battle of Ludlow when 10 strikers,
women and children persisted, may
plead guilty to one of the charges
pending against him, when arraigned
before the military courtmartial at
the state rifle range Thursday.
He is said to be considering such a
plea in connection with the charge
that he struck Louis Tikas, leader of
the Greeks at Ludlow, over the head
with the butt of his rifle, so hard that
he broke the stock. He is expected
to claim justification. Tikas was aft
erwards shot to death by soldiers.
The LinderfeIt trial will be the last
undertaken by the general military
coUrtmartial called two weeks ago to
investigate the Ludlow battle.
Verdicts will be returned stimuli
taneoUsIy soon.
Meanwhile, efforts to settle the Col
orado coal strike by the joint COM
mittee appointed by the special ses-
sion of the legislature recently con-
tinue. Governor Ammons is opti-
mistic and announced representatives
of the United Miners would appear
before the committee this afternoon.
while the committee has no
power to arbitrate, l feel that it will
go far towards a settlement, said the
governor.
There has been no disturbance in
the actual strike zone for several
weeks. United States troops are in
charge everywhere and have had no
difficulty. No concerted effort has
been made to disarm strikers or mine
guards by force, although the period
of voluntary disarmament set by Col.
James Lockett, commanding, expired
ten days ago.
