The Unanimous Opinion

Roads are of such Importance that
they may be compared to our lives.
writes a farmer to Collier, they are
smooth, even, level, wide and full; they
are hilly, narrow. winding. dangerous,
shadowy and bright, and they shoy the
effects Of environment and care, even
as we.
They are the very means of our life,
for over them passes the food which
must keep the people of the cities alive.
Without roads cities could not sur
vive and country folks would be with
out many OF the present necessities.
comforts and luxuries Of life which
they are now able to enjoy. They are
the connecting link between the city
business man, the manufacturer and
the farmer, dalryman and producer of
food. They alone make it possible for
both country and city to live up to our
present standard of living and they
will be largely responsible for any rise
which may take place in that STANDARD.
Who then can place value on roads
and who 10 great enough to say what
their true service to mankind is? Can
any man picture country or land
without roads?
A good man sets an example; good
road is likewise an example; and as we
have too few good men, so have we
too few good roads. Only when we
find . travelable road going past every
farm, thru every village and city will
it be time to cease talking good roads.
There is no doubt that every
body realizes and admits how much
good roads increase the value of
farm and suburban property; the
trading area OF merchants by maxi
ing it possible for more customers
to get to them from greater dist
ances and the possibility of Great

tual problems and interests which
goes q long way towards helping
solve them.

RENEWED INTEREST
IN STEVENS PASS
HIGHWAY TAKEN
MONEY SAID TO BE AV AILABLE
AND WORK PROBABLE THIS
YEAR IF OFFICIALS ACT.

NJ. F. Smith, of Miller River, tn,
original booster for the Stevens Pas
| highway, was a visitor here last Sat-
urday evening, addressing the Com
munity meeting. He is earnest in his
efforts to see this highway completed
and has arrayed all the facts and fig
| ures, which indicate that oil that is
needed is the proper cooperation be
tween the forestry department and
King, Snohomish and Che'an county
officials to have the work begin this
year.
The Wenatchee World gives the fol-
lowing resume of the proposition al
ter visit to that city by Mr.. Smith:
"About three years ago the U. S.
Forest Service appropriated 100000
to be spent in opening up this high
way over the summit of the Cas-
cades and made an agree ent with
the officials of King, Snoh mish AMI
Chelan counties that they would sup
ply the rest of the money, which was
estimated at an equal amount, of
which, however, Chelan county &c
only required to spend $1,000.
"King county has already expend-
ed S275,000 in completing this hign-
way as far as Scenic Hot Springs.
However, tho recent floods have de-
stroyed portion of the work in Kirg
county and this will have to be r..
placed.
"Snohomish county will 10 its part,
according to assurances received BY
Mr.. Smith, and the Chelan coun
portion will be Forthcoming when
needed.
"Under the new appropriation bill
passed by congress there is available
for road work in the state of Wash
ington $1,300,OOO of Forest Service
funds. About 100000 of this must
be spent within the boundaries of for
est reserves
Mr.. Smith has been assured that
Forest Service officials de sire to in
clude the Stevens Pass highway in
this years appropriation and every
possible influence will be brought to
bear upon the proper authorities to
see that this is DONE
"This highway is not only tn
shortest route between Wenatche,
and Seattle but it is one OF the most
pleasant and attractive highways to
be found anywhere in the northwest.
"There is really very little work to
be done before this road can be
opened up to travel although it IS
probable that considerable money
will eventually have to be pent in or-
der to keep it open for large portion
Of the year.
"Mr. Smith is very enthusiast
over the future possibilities of the
Stevens Pass Highway AMI believes
that this is the logical time to have it
built"

gnaled out Of bounds-and a L. =
time afterwards, too Another game
was to be played last night when the
matter was to be definitely settle |.
There was some classy stuff on 10Th
sides in this game Art OLarc, :,
Putler Sampson, Clarence Campbell,
Bert Rutherford, Jim Wunder, Fr Il
Constable and several others all
starred for the fats. Rutherfo |
kicked the highest and showed up fine
at punting, while Campbell g
around the lean guards and came
near making touchdown. Blu e
Sampson was especially good at bu'-
ting and Constable was good at for-
ward passing. O'Larey was especial
good at bucking the line Buck Ewi lg
was another star. He could lie dow
End roll farther than any other m,
on either team. Frank Hennes sse..
was too nervous; he covered too mu",:
ground and time had to be called.
Among the leans George Jarvis
stood above them all and when 8;
toned at the basket he could drop the
ball in with entire ease or mop up
with any gentleman present, singl,-

was good. He held down his positi,"
uniformly as long as he was in the
game, mixing it with anyone who
l.red come near him. Guy Hamilton
made an enviable record for foot
work. R. B. Field was also star
Eot-footer and at times seemed quite
quarrelsome. Jess Champers starred
at center for the leans and the way
he leaned on the fat center was
crime for one so young and agile.
Harry Krollpfeiffer made a famous
record as guard, but when he mixed
if with Campbell or Rutherford, who
had slight edge on him as to
weight, he usually went to the mat
for the count. Ole Lee, who got onto
the lean team by pretending that he
was ignorant of the first principles of
the game, proved ringer and was
put on the bench after a short time,
more on account Of shortness of wind,
however, than his ability to play.
There may have been other stars
whom we could give special mention.
The writer was too busy at time ad-
miring fine plays to make mental
notes of all. We ought not forget,
however, to mention that Mayor Tony
Blomeke, as referee, proved entirely
satisfactory to players and audience
alike and, being something of poll
tician, like Grant, he let the players
fight it out.
