ers and Bostonians and Philadelphi-
ans are going back east from their
daring adventure into the mythical
west, and are giving out interviews to
the papers expressive of their sur
prise and delight at what they found
in the mysterious region that to them
had lain beyond the sunset.
They say they found good sized
cities all the way west, from Chicago
to the coast; and the same up and
down the coast; and these cities are
inhabited by people speaking English
and talking politics, and religion and
art and baseball, just about the same
as the folks who live in New York, or
Pennsylvania or Massachusetts,
"One Of the greatest wonders of all
is that they found good hotels-real-

Mr. Blythe returned last July from
a trip around the world, during which
he chiefly studied economic and po-
liucal conditions in China, Japan and
Russia.
One thing that he has done since
his return is to write a complete novel

there is not a single woman character

Mr.. Blythe went to the Blackstone

Business is booming!

Dayton, ObIo.
Merchants everywhere tell our
500 statesmen that business is
booming.
Farmers haze had two record
crops, at big prices, With big
demand at home and abroad.
Stocks of manufactured material
are short, and labor is in great
demand.
Exports largely exceed imports.
Factories are busy, many work-
ing Overtime.
More freight cars are needed, and
steamers are taxed to capacity.
People are living better, and
spending their money more freely.
This country has the best money
in the Uorld, and more of it than
eUer before.
Such a combination of favorable
circumstances neUer has occurred
before, and probably wW neUer
occur again.
Billions of dollars are passing
oUer the merchants counters.
The people who spend this money
Want the best service.
They demand it in all kinds of
stores, from the smallest to the
largest.
They get it in stores which use

Which quicken service, stop mis-

A numbar Of ayohappac

A number of exchanges reaching
this Office mention work in progress
or about to start on state roads
Something of the kind is due in this
neighborhood, as the money is avail
able and the surveys made. That
solid, permanent roads are needed,
and would be of great public benefit,
no one will gainsay. That the COM
munity is agreeably satisfied, and con-
siders it wise and timely provision,
when money is appropriated for road
improvements in that immediate local
ity is natural human weakness, yet
when the situation is looked sQuarely
in the face is it not possible that state
and counties are OVERRIDING it to a
considerable extent in applying so vast
a sum to road building as is annually
spent? The enormous appropriations
every two years voted by the legisla-
ture for road construction is only a
portion of the total amount that goes
into roads all over the state each seas
on. Every county levies a road tax,
and thousands of dollars are raised by
that means. The pity of it is that
much of the money devoted to road
work is so injudiciously applied that
it is practically thrown away, and
what is done one year must be done
over the next. This fact is conspicu-
GUS in almost every county in the state.
No fault can be found with the desire
to provide substantial roads, but are
we not trying to accomplish too much
along that line in short period of
time, and when taxation is felt as A
burden? Are we not endeavoritng to
accomplish in a decade what it has
taken older states On hundred years
to do? In this mild reference to a
growing extravaganza it is not expect
ed to arouse any enthusiastic move
ment toward economy, but it would be
well to consider, in these hard times.

Last week Col. Alden j. Blenthen

Last week Col. Alden j. Blenthen
proprietor and editor-in chief of the
Seattle Times, died after lingering
illness. Col. Blethen was one of the
most forceful journalists in the west.
He had remarkable organizing ability,
and made success of the Times when
others failed. Taking the paper when
l: was losing venture, and almost
ready to go into the discard, unwav-
ering energy, persistency and push
his only capital, Col. Blethen built up
one of the most influential and valu-
able newspapers on the coast. Many
may have differed with his methods,
could not always concur in his pug
nacious and sometimes erratic atti-
tude upon public questions, yet no one
could fail to recognize his strong per-
sonality, and his courage in backing
his convictions. He was a powerful
factor in the upbuilding of Seattle, a
city in which he took a great pride,
and his death is serious loss to the
profession and the community in
which he lived and acted a prominent
part for so many years.

 These exhibits have been collected and are now en- route to San Francisco. They will force immigration to Arkansas. Every citizen of the State will feel the effects of this new capital and blood.
 On the other hand fail to maintain the exhibit and Arkansas will receive advertising in every section of the world. It will become known a state poor to main tain building after it had been erected. It will be ad vertsed the state where exhibits of worth could be collected. Every man, woman child who has ever been in Arkansas knows better than ths but those who hear the reports from San Francisco if there no exhibit open there, will believe the best They will take the worst and Arkansas will suffer for many years
