Repairs Begin On
Kings Canyon Road

Members of the board of county
commissioners made a tour of inspes-
toin Of the condition of the Kings
canyon road yesterday. Work will
be started shortly making repairs and
otherwise putting it in condition for
summer travel. 1t is the intention of
the board to start from the city linn
its on King street and work clear to
the county line, which is just a short
distance this side of Glenbrook.
With the board Of city trustees put
ting King street in first-class shape
from Carson street to the city limits,
and the commissioners continuing
the good work from there through
Kings canyon to the lake, that popu-
lar thoroughfare, by the time auto
mobile travel sets in, will be in good
condition and travel over it will be
a pleasure. 1t is money we'll expend-
ed to repair the road.
Right now the road to the lake is
lot in the best of shape: it is badly
cut in many places and dusty and
looks as though it had been run over
for months instead of a few days, but
this in part may be due t. the recent
heavy winds.

Widening Runway
at Engine House

Work was started on the cement
runway from the street into the War
rem engine house at the Musser street
entrance this morning. The present
runway will be partially torn up, the
new one being made eight feet wider,
four feet on each side. This will
enable the fire truck to make better
time, for on account of the increased
width of the runway the turn can be
made more quickly by the truck in
coming out of the house when re-
spending to an alarm of fire.
For the next few days, or until the
runway is completed, the members
OF the company are requested to
bear III mind that the apparatus will.
be at the Curry street side of the
station, and in case of a fire should
be sure as to that entrance; it will
save time and confusion.

Should offensive operations. in pur-
sIance of national policies. become nee
essary against the government beyond
the southern border. 1t is a conserva-

900 men will be necessary, and that to
handle matters effectively and most
economically as to outlay of money and
life. not fewer than 100000 well or
ganized and equipped troops should be
employed. 1t will be recalled that Po-
land. when Europe was in process of
settling and renewing growth after the
overthrow of Napoleon /, revolted
against Russia, raising force of about
10000 men. The spirit was fine and the
attempt noble. but the imperial gov
eminent sent an army of 100000 men,
which marched over the revolving prov
ince once, and there was no more re-
bellion. The right and wrong of the
question is not under discussion any
more than is that of a positive invasion
of Mexico. but it is perfect illustra-
ton of the manner in which powerful
nation should conduct military opera
tions against a much weaker one if an
aggressive policy is to be put into
force.
