One From Abe Fuller.
CASTOR. Ore, Dec. Is

Dear Herald
saw notice in your last issue
that said light, " all you distant
relatives and aliens, and | sup
pose that means me. Am inclos-
ing a check for Sc, which will put
me in the clear for a while.
We had some real winter here in
cold Webfoot." 1t was 20 be-
low and | in person placed my
iron square in the snow, which
was 30 inches. Looks like Cali
fornia for me again, but should
any Of the Portland boosters see
this remark it will mean first de-
gree murder. ~. With best wish
es for a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year for all my Nez-
perez friends, | am,
Yours very truly,
A. L. Fuller.

The matter of roads and road
making may not seem in order
just at this instant, but we were
impressed by q conversation on
the subject recently, and feel con
strained to make a few remarks
while the impression is keen. A
party who had travelled all over
Lewis county by car had occasion
to cross the state of Washington
by the same means. He was di-
rected at various points as to the
best road to take, and each time
he found the highway so inferior
to what we have here that he fin
ally arrived at the conclusion that
the folks between Spokane and
Seattle did not know what a gen
ninely good road is. OF course,
in Washington. or most of it, sur
facing is necessary to assure
thoroughfare adapted to motor
car usage and such is the case
generally over the west. And be-
cause of this general impression,
it is taken for granted that Lewis
county must have surfaced roads.
ButSexperience has shown such a
conclusion to be fallacious. Per-
sistent anad judiciols dragging
will maintain as good a road in
this county-on this particular
form of soil-as are most of the
hard surfaced highways in Wash
ington, and at a lesser cost. There
are few hard-surfaced roads that
do not require constant repairs to
keep them in condition. There
may come time when a prac-s
ticable and endurable form of sur
facing is available, but until such
time our county may 60 on en-
joying travel over it's highways,
through a greater part of the
year at least, by keeping the drag
generally applied as effectively
as it is in those districts whose
good roads are sought by every
traveller and receive favorable
comment from every tourist
Think good roads now, and when
spring comes so may the realiza-
ton Of your thoughts.

HERHhDS
lTsMs NOT INTENDED TO HIT on Miss
Anyone IN PARTICULAR euT Jvsr TO
REMIND You

That the days are getting long
er-7be Of good cheer.
That dad is just counting the
hours until the Xmas bills begin
to float in.
That Christmas means at least
a pair Of hole-less sox to most OF
us, anyway.
That dollar a dozen is the
prediction for January eggs in
most parts Of the country.
That money comes easy, goes
easier, and we're some uneasy
when we haven't got it.
That it Is the filling you put in
others stockings which brings
you the greater happiness.
That England and France are
in complete international accord.
That's more than America is, ev-
en- with itself.
That Old Man Santa will cheer
many a lonely heart this Christ
mas. Going to run him a close
second, brother?
That it Is mostly goose or chick
en- for the Christmas dinners here
abouts this year. The turk is a
scarce bird on the. prairie.
That you should be careful how
you blow off with new year reso-
buttons. Like prices, they are sub
ject to change without notice.
That the roads are almost
ready for the mudboat, and only
few days ago so many fine
sleigh rides were in prospect.
That we all admire the fellow
who has the courage Of his con-
victions, provided those convic-
tons coincide with our own
views.
That clothing, ! manufacturers
tell us, is sure to advance in price.
And the moment we fall back on
the old reliable fig leaf the cuss-
es will start profiteering in them.
That about the time we recover
from the Christmas and New
Years jamboree and are earnest
ly intent upon our New Year res
olutions, the census taker will nab
us, and then will come the income
tax but sufficient unto the
day"
That a government report says,
the prices of Christmas presents
this year are higher than they
have been since the Civil war, yet
reports indicate buying is heav-
Ter than it has been for years. No
matter the cost in money, blood,
or tears, if the Yank wants it he
goes out and gets it.
That, when there's no more
booze to drink and tobacco can t
be had, the theatres and picture
shows are closed, card games are
made impossible and dancing is
reduced to the Virginia reel, and
there's nothing left incompatible
with the reformer's EXTREMIST
ideas Of what is best for US
what's the reformer going to do
for excitement?

Chamberlain's Tablets.

These tablets are intended es-
pecially for indigestion or consti-
patton. They tone up the stom-
ach and enable it to perform it's
functions naturally. They act
gently on the liver and bowels,
thereby restoring the stomach and
bowels to healthy condition,
When you feel dull, stupid and
constipated give them trial. You
are certain to be pleased with
their effect AT all drug stores

May Revoke Teachers Contracts.

The validity of a teachers con-
tract has been made the subject
for test case by the school board
of Nezperce. Last August Miss
Edna Harrington broke her con-
tract with the Nezperce school
board, and the state board of ed
ucation has set jan 2 for the trial
to annul her certificate to teach.
There are three cases of teach
ers breaking their contracts, in
Idaho to go to some other place
because of higher wages. And
Commissioner Bryan has stated
that the contracts of all three Of
these teachers will probably be
annulled.

Should Be Guaranteed.

Many physicians believe that
anyone who has a bad cold should
be completely isolated to prevent
other members Of the family and
associates from contracting the
disease, as colds are about as
catching as measles. One thing
sure-the sooner one rids himself
ora cold the less the danger, and
you will look a good while before
you find a better medicine than

The promised rough weather
has come and gone, according to
schedule. The astronomer who
predicted its advent because of
the peculiar relation Of certain
planets to the sun, should feel
well satisfied, and the rest Of us
certainly are. This spring-like
brand which has succeeded the
blasts of the past three weeks is
very welcome, and it may con-
tinue indefinitely. In fact, the
balance of the season might be as
mild as last winter and cause no
surprise or displeasure to the ma
tives. However, this is no pro-
phecy only a guess.

Kamiah Makes Red Cross Gain

In the Red Cross Roll Call re-
Gently completed Kamiah made a
most excellent showing. While
Lewis county fell short Of its
quota and is nearly 800 members
shy of it's enrolment last year,
Kamiah gained five members. A
year ago we had 249 on the list
and this year there are 254. The
figures for the county are: 1863
members for last year and 1885
for this year. The general rule
was shortage in meeting quotas,
so we here in Kamiah can feel a
little chesty over our record.

Trade of the Philippines Since Annex
 ation, 1899. .191o.

The commerce of the Philippine ls- lands is practically seven times as much as in the period immediately preceding their annexation to the Unit ed States twenty years ago, and thelf trade with the United. States is thirty five times as much asa the year pre- ceding @anneXa tion.-.& compilation py the National City Bank of. New York relating to the commerce of those 1s- lands shows that their total trade with the whole world averaged SSo,000.oo0 per1year in the decade preceding ther annexation and was in 1918 $324, ,O0p.oo0 or approximately seven times as much as prior to their annexation. Pniilp- pine exports which averaged about $2 50 per capita prior to annexation are now s15 per capita. Our own record or
 trade with the islands shows an aver
 age in the years immediately preceding annexation of about s4,oOe.0 .000 per an.
 nun and was in the celandar year 1918
 s159 900 900. or about thirty-fiv times
 as much as the annual average prior
 to 1899, the year of annexation.
 This tremendous gain in the total
 trade of the Philippines and it's trade
 with the United States has occurred in both exports and imports. Their eX-
 ports prior to the annexation, which occurred just twenty years ago (Aprll Il, 1S99). averaged about $2O,0O0, 0oV { per annum. as against s136,0O0, 900 in 1918 and the imports about 16,0O0, 900 per annum as against practically $1O0,- 000,00O in 1916. Of the total exports, which show an increase of about 500 per cent. the gain is largely to the l United States, to which the Philip. pines sent in 1918 ss6.000900 worth of their surplus products as against $4,- 100000 worth prior. to the annexation.

 members of the general assembly, as
 presented at the, state comptroller s office, total s25,57S.38. Deputy f Comptroller F.. Clarence Bissell states
 that the bills are practically all in
 and that whatever beiated statements
 may be presented will not apprecia- ply increase this amount. The trans
 portation for 1917 amounted to $26,- 95S.22. The difference attributed to to the fact that the session of ,191a was eight days shorter than that of its predecessor, which made. consider able difference despite the increased rate of mileage charged. In 1917 the state paid mileage at the rate of two cents a mile, while this year the rate was. three cents Lee Kellogg Of Falls Village, closely scrutinized every bill of transporta tion presented.
