upon the breaking up of winter There
is something radically wrong in road
building when it is necessary to do the
work over again almost every year. 1t
is either ignorance or Indifference on the
part of those who have charge of road
construction, or an inadequate amount
of money to do the work right in the first
place. An infinitely larger amount of
money has been spent in past years in
the way of repairs than the original cost
OF construction, and It is about time some
measure was adopted to prevent this an
nual waste. All roads can not be made
bouevards because the means are not
obtainable, yet 1t would seem that pre-
cautions in construction, or some vigil
ance in the spring, when washouts are to
be expected, would in "A large measure
prevent this constant repetition of dam
age. If the. road funds of the county are
to be exhausted annually making re-
pairs there never will be any permanent
roads IN the county. We have been in
the county nearly twenty years, and it
seems to us that every year the same
trouble has been experienced with wash
outs that is being complained of at the
present time.

the "Wenatchee-O Oroville road" as orig
inahy designated, extends from Okanogaii
by the most practicable route to the
north line of Okanogan county, WASH
ington, near the town of Oroville. The
people of the north part of the county
have Judge c. II. Neal and Senator Ar
thur Mcclure of Douglas county, to
thank for an amendment that should
have enlisted the earnest efforts of the
legislator from this county, as the ma
tural route for state road No. 10 is up the
Okanogan river, on water grade, to the
Canadian line. Furthermore, the sum of
$29,51S were appropriated to state road
No. 10 and a like sum to No. IL. The ap-
preparation followed strictly the recon-
mendation of the Good Roads association.

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

Commercial Club to investigate and re-
port conditions relating to the growing of
potatoes would like to hear at once from
as many farmers as possible, in order to
learn the probable acreage each will plant
and the amount and character of the seed
available. Good seed is of first import
ance and this committee is investigating
sources of supply and prices. Those lack
ing proper seed are requested to inform
us without delay.

WHAT CONSTITUTES PERJURY

We sometimes wonder,-we have been wonderng,-when we
read of this lawyer or that having been disbarred or about to be,
I1he charge Of perjury or the aiding or abettmg thereof having en-
tered into consideration, just what constitutes Irrjury. To be a lit
tie more specific, we have often wondered jul exactly where the
line Of dcmArkation must be drawn.
There are probably comparatively few h"Iy contested court
cases in which the clement Of perjury does no. inter. It would be
toly-the hrght Of foIly-to contend seriously hat neither the law
ycrS nor the clients, on one side or the other, lave no knowledge. or
at least well founded suspicion. concerning ii, laractcr of the ei-

thc country as IL whole, there is no reason to lntInate that the law
gers do not Hvrr@g" up in patriotism or homes with the citizenship

PROSPERITY AND HIGH PRICES.

Does any one now living recall that prosperity has ever visited
this country, 0 any other country, for thai matter, during an era
OF exceptionally low pricesP
We realize that prices have been high within the recent past,
and that they are still high, but We fail to perceive wherein we are
gong to regain a great measure OF prosperity by depressing prices.
Let wheat, for instance, drop back to forty cents and barley to
fifteen, and potatoes go a-beggng, and what will be the result? Not
prosperity, at all events.
We know that it requires good wages to maintain the average
FAMILY. We know that the average man needs to hustle to keep the
family Harder filled and the children decently clothed.
