KENTUCKY'S STATE
DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC ROADS
(By Hon. James 3. McCreary,
Governor of Kentucky

A State Department of Public
Roads was advocated by me when
l was a candidate for Governor Of
Kentucky. After / was elected I
recommended in my message to the
General Assembly the enactment Of
a law providing for a Department
of Public Roads, and an appropria-
ton and a proper and comprehen-
sive act was passed.
The people of Kentucky are in
favor of good roads. They know
that good roads mean a decrease
in the expense of hauling products
to market and in getting goods
home from the place of purchase.
They know that good roads in
crease the value of farms, mean
better access to schools and to
churches, and better and more at
tractive environments.
The Commissioner of Public
Roads appointed by me has been
active and successful in his organ
ization. He has sent bulletins and
literature and has furnished plans

BECKER ELECTROCUTED

Yesterday morning at 5:55 o'clock
Charles Becker, formerly New York
Police Lieutenant, paid the penalty
for the crime for which he was con-
victed. He met his fate with courage,
protesting his innocence to the last.
He was given every opportunity to
prove his innocence after the State
had proved his guilt. He failed. The
Governor of the State, who prose-
cuted Becker before assuming execu-
tive duties, had the courage to carry
out the execution of the sentence
The courage to do this far exceeded
that shown by the condemned man.
The world sympathizes with the
brave wife who stood faithful to her
husband to the last. Regardless of
sympathy Becker was criminal and
the dignity of the law was maintained
Had he been an innocent man it would
not have been necessary for him to
spend in his defense the ill-begotten
fortune acquired through bribery and
corruption.

SHIPWRECKED

On their trip to Reno last week, Mr.
and Mrs. Some and their guests, Mrs.
Pohe and Miss Westfeldt, were ship
wrecked on the Churchill Canyon road
to Dayton. Leaving the Premier
stranded, the party walked to Clifton,
where Mr. Some increased his vo-
cabulary in the Italian language while
negotiating transportation to Dayton
In the latter place the ladies of the
party became expert fishermen, each
learning how to extract olives from a
jar with hatpin. Mrs. Pohe won the
prize, securing the greatest number of
olives. After a few more delays and
mishaps, the entire party arrived in
Reno the next day at the same time
the Premier got there. No mention
was made by Cur informant whether
the party was interfered with by Ger
man submarines stationed either in
the Carson River or in Washoe Lake.

RUSSIAN THISTLE

1t is reported that Russian thistle,
commonly known as the tumble weed,
is rapidly spreading in the upper end
of the valley, its growth being traced
over the entire breadth of the valley
While a pest, this weed is easily ex-
terminated if plowed up before the
seeds are permitted to ripen. When
ripe, each individual weed rolls before
the wind, sowing its thousands of
seeds in its pathway. These spsing
up each succeeding season and if per-
mtted to mature become a nuisance
to the community. Very little action
and effort will exterminate it in one
season. A great deal of it is grow
ing in the city of Yerington. on vacant
lots and along the sidewalks.
The police department and the In
dian TRUSTEES" have done most ex-
cellent work in clearing up the streets
of the city. A few days devoted to
the determination of the Russian this
tie in town would save the sowing of
countless millions of seed, each to
grow into tumble weed again to SOW
the land over which it travels. 1t is
to be hoped that the warning will not
be unheeded, for if it is, another year
will see a great deal of trouble and
expense to the entire valley.

NEW USES BEING
FOUND FOR ALFALFA

Alralfa is not only good feed for
dairy cows, but properly treated is a
cure for several human ailments. De
licious candy is also made from al
Ialfa, while alfalfa meal finely ground

safe bet that if alfalfa was as widely
grown in Germany as in this country,

have long ago found way to make
it into bread for the soldiers.

ting when in full bloom and putting

cess, known only to him, he has been

A letter received from ]. NJ Full
OF the Southern Pacific Company,
states that his company has already
anticipated the need of a market for
the alfalfa growers of Nevada and
some time ago published rate Of
$50 per ton On alfalfa meal from
Lovelock, Wabuska, Fallon and Reno
to San rancisco. Mr. Fulton says that
this rate was published in the belief
that our people must put alfalfa into
meal in order to market it. There is
little doubt that at no distant day the
progressive ranchers of Lovelock Val
ley will take advantage of this to en-
large the market for their beloved
product-Lovelocek Tribune.

Greater honor is seldom paid to
the memory of any man than rec
ord in the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA This is what it says:
MACKAY, JOHN WILLIAM,
(l83l-lo02), American capitalist,
was born in Dublin, Ireland, on
the 18th of November, 1891. His
parents brought him in l840 to
New York City, where he worked
in a shipyard. In 1851 he went to
California and worked in placer
gold mines in Sierra county. In
1862 he went to Virginia City, Ne
vada, and there, after losing all he
had made in California, he formed
with James G. Fair James c. Flood
William S. O'Brien, the firm which
in 1873, discovered the great Bo-
nanza vein, more than 1900 feet
deep, in the Comstock lode yield
ing in March of that year as much
as $632 per ton, and in 1877 nearly
$l9,000,000 altogether); and this
firm established the Bank of Ne
vada in San Francisco. In 1884,
with James Gordon Bennett,
Mackay formed the Commercial
Cable Company-largely to fight
Jay Gould and the Western Union
Telegraph Company-laid two ca
bles, and forced the toll-rate for
transatlantic messages down to
twenty-five cents a word. In con

that roses come by spontaneous genera
ton. | take some splendid soil, place
il in the sunshine, and add water then
wait feF the e-Fese; ;~but-ao rose appears
on the scene. What is the trouble /?
There must be the reaching down of
the higher to the lower kingdom and
bring it up; that is to say. the vegeta-
BILE must reach down to the mineral
before the mineral can become the
rose that | want.
How then can the natural man be
come spiritual' Not by spontaneous
generation, as some tell us; but by the
spiritual reaching down and bringing
the natural man up into the spiritual
life
To get a rose from the mineral king
dom, the life of the higher must touch
the life of the lower The earth must
have the seed to produce the rose

"He that hath the Son hath life. and
he that hath not the Son hath not

spiritual life. "Ye must be born

The vegetable kingdom is above the
mineral kingdom. To get the beauty
and sweetness OF the rose, there must
be the union Of the higher and lower
lives. To get the beauty and glory
of the spiritual life, there must be the
union of the natural and spiritual
Kingdoms. You may give the soil ev-
cry other attention but without the
rose seed it remains dead. In like
manner, you may give the natural man
all the culture and refinement that
culture brings but without the mystic
touch of the Divine Life there only
remains a dead soul

No more appropriate illustration

of the beautiful monument present

story of hardship, toll and priva-

pository' hitherto inaccessible to
the men who have made history,
can more clearly show the true
worth of the man born to the vast
Mackay fortune. No amount of
brave hardihood without the aid
of the most important institution
in the State can further develop
the yet unexhausted resources,
both agricultural and mineral.
There is nothing sentimental about
the University or its surroundings.
The old saying: There's no royal
road to knowledge" is more appro-
pirate today than when first ut
tered. Many attend institutions OF
learning like this and fail. Such
failures form no arugment against
higher education, but is the strong
est in its favor if one stops to think
how much more utter and sordid
the failure would have been if the
individual had not had opportun-
ity to make success in life as af-

saying equally trite is frequently
