With our people all united in an effort to secure a rock road across the county, the proposi- tion seems to be a certainty and after we have constructed this one for a sample, others will surely follow as no country can develop it's resources and come into it's own like the one which possesses the lasting and per- manent rock roads.

Some people are continually knocking on any proposition that comes up and we will be sur prised if some fellow don't get his little hammer out and try to kill the rock road now being fav- orably considered. And if he does, we'll bet two bits to a gin ger cake that he don't own ten acre patch of ground. It is gen. erally the fellow who is least affected that does the loudest bowling. Watch and see.

Russia's Natural Roads.

Russia is almost a roadless land. II
is inconceivable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track Of
the railways in Russia haw a great en-
pire can have subsisted SO long and so
successfully without even pretense at
roads. The secret lies in the fact that
for five or six months in the year ma.
ture herself provides roads over the
greater part of Russia-admirable
smooth, glossy roadways over hard.
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution Of a
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost of land carriage
as near the cheapness of water-bOrne
freight us possible and 1t is the princf-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is stiira roadless land.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING BUSY
Natives Of Solomon Island Take Ad-
vantage of War to Gather
Tropics.

At first sight there does not seem
to be very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
In the Solomon islands. Nevertheless,
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. S. W. correspondent, Brit
ish. and occasionally German war
ships patrolled the islands and en-
deavored to keep down cannibalism
among the natives, who are largely of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British warships-and the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by mountain
tribe upon small village near the
coast no less than 20 heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganize in time. As consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous,
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con-
stantly to keep on their guard.

JRAIN DEALERS MEET
COLORADO WHEAT CROP TO
REACH 100000 BUSHELS.
Formed Association Discuss
Plans at Denver Meeting.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Grain dealers who gath
cred here from all parts of the state
to attend the first annual convention
of the Denver Grain Exchange Asso'
citation brought reports of a wheat
crop this year that is more than full
filling expectations.
Estimates gathered from various
delegates placed the total crop at
100000 bushels. F. G. Olson. one
of the delegates. said that the quail.
ity of the crop was usually fine and
that the prices being paid the farmers
is better than it was year ago.
The grain men came together to
talk over various phases of the in
dustry, which is rapidly coming to the
front in the state, and in the devel'
opment Of which the Denver Grain
Exchange has played an important
part.
This exchange was organized last
year and has been regularly en-
gagged in sampling and inspecting
grain and conducting business along
the same lines as the Chicago and
Omaha Grain exchanges.
The convention was attended by
about 125 dealers. 1t would have
been much larger. one of the dele
gates explained, but for the fact that
the crop this year is much earlier
than usual on account of the favor.
able season and the men are engaged
in preparations for the harvest.
''The production this year will be
about 100000 bushels of both win,
ter and spring wheat" said Mr.. Oh
son. THAT is just about the same
amount as last year, though the acre
age is larger. The crop is of fine
quality, though the yield per acre has
shown a slight decrease. The farm.
ers are getting from 95 cents to 81
per bushel this year as compared
with 92 and 95 cents last year. SO that
in estimating the entire production 1t
is of much greater value to the state
than last years crop"

Imitation Pearls.

Clever imitation perls have been
made by filling thin glass bulbs with a
solution of fish scale nacre. Another
method Is to coat the inside Of the
glass bulbs with 10 per cent gelatin
solution which is allowed to become
only partially dry before a small
amount of sodium phosphate is added,
then the drying process Is continued
slowly. The limitations look much like
genuine pearls. but they can be detect
ed by noting the place where the bulbs
have been sealed.

practically all of the big race meets
