Many of Early Surveys Were Imprac ticable and Had to Be Abandoned by Travelers. The county commissioners will soon have a vast amount of road matters to occupy their attention if they decide to take up tiie proposition of straight ening out the tangled up county roads between W'aila Walla and Snake river. Commissioner McCaw and Surveyor Loehr spent several days last week on the flat looking over many thorough tares that had been closed up. and they reported the result of their investiga tion to the board this week. "We found some very rough roads near Snake River," said Surveyor Loehr,, "and it will take a great deal of work to get them in good shape. Judging from some of them the sur veyors in early days did not pay much attention when making a survey as to tin- practicability of building roads in the Snak<- river hills. From the surveys that are on file in my of fice it looks as though when ever any one petitioned for a new road that it was granted without taking into con sideration whether it could be con structed along the route surveyed. One road in question is the Copeland road, which runs from Clyde to Snake river. This road is only 11% miles long and it passes through some of th»- largest hills on the flat. When it reaches within two miles of Snake river it runs up against a bluff fully thirty feet in height. "We found on the trip that a great many of the roads had been fenced up by recent settlers and new routes were being traveled th it had never been j officially declared county roads. Many jot them were several miles from the original survey and in some instances (entire roads were closed up." NO ACCUSATION AGAINST SMOOT Petitions Demand His Suspension, but Without Cause.* WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —Members of the senate are greatly surprised and mystified by the strength of the move ment against Senator Reed Smoot. of Utah. Petitions against the Ftah sen ator have come from quarters which (dearly indicate that they were in THE EVENING STATESMAN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1903. spired from same central source. Not only are they identical in language, or n.-arly so. but it seems as if some one must tie canvassing the country, pro gressing from state to state, because petitions are sent fust to one senator and then another. These petitions have continued to pour in upon the senate in extraordi nary numbers. A large percentage of the signatures evidently are not those of voters. Thousands of women have signed the papers, and many Sunday schools have subscribed names in block. Some petitions are manifest ly written entirely by the same person and seem to be copies of some list. In quite a large majority of cases the pe titions were evidently subscribed to at some sort of meeting, because the ink is the same throughout and experts say the same pen was used. Mr. Smoot was sworn in and has been a senator for more than six months and during all that time the petitions have increased in number in stead of diminishing, as everybody supposed would be the case. Before the senator took his seat the petitions and protests were far less numerous than they are now. although that was the time for a contest. While the numbers of these petitions continue to astonish the senate, the mystlfyiUg thing is that none allege" any real, substantial reason why Mr. Smoot should lie expelled, and. as yet. there has not been put on file a scrap of evidence which would be sufficient to justify any court in convicting the Utah senator, even of a misdemeanor. It has been alleged that Mr. Smoot is a polygamist. Not the faintest sus picion of evidence to support this charge has. as yet, reached the senate. MAY INVITE THE CZAR Excess of Boys Among Recent Births Suggests Visit of Russian Royalty. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Dec 11 — \\ ithin the last six months over two thirds of the births reported to the secretary of the board of health have been boys and on" physician. Dr. R, L. Igel, reports that out of twenty births he has been called upon to attend nine teen of them have been boys. The birth of a girl is SO unusual as to cre ate comment. What the cause of this strange sit uation is no one knows. The old col ored woman who claims to be able to solve all mysteries say: •'lt mean uah. Befoah these chilen are 21 years old this country will have wait." It may be the climate, but what ever it is Leavenworth county people are considering the advisability of sending an invitation to the czar ami czarina of Russia to come hero and visit for a little while. Then perhaps the czar's hopes may be ""realized. Kickerly—l'm suffering awfully with insomnia. Swallawtail —Is it possible? Kickerly—Yes: T can't even sleep af ter the alarm (lock goes off. A NEW MANUFACTORY DR. DARRIN'S COMPANY WILL SOON BE READY TO COM MENCE OPERATIONS Buildings Costing Ten Thousand Dol lars Have Been Erected—Waiting for Machinery. Albert Burrows has returned from an extended visit in the cities on Pu get Sound. While in Whatcom he spent several days inspecting the plant of the Pacific American Tar company, of which company Dr. C. B. Darrin is one of the prominent stock holders. In speaking of the institu tion Mr. Burrows said yesterday: "The company has just, completed, its buildings at a cost of $ 10.005 and as soon as the machinery can be se cured from the east the plant will be nut in operation. The company intends to begin the manufacture of tar, caulk ing pitch, turpentine and wood alcho hol. using the patent process of Mr. Darrin in the work. Already the company has a large number of orders GREAT REDUCTION SALE I very shoe in our store reduced in price. tock and Fixtures mu*t be soid by January first. The Gash Shoe Company. C.

Dr. Darrin informed me that it was the plan of the company to erect other plants throughout the state and use the Whatcom institution as a refining plant. Dr. Darrin feels greatly elat ed over the experiments that have re sulted from his process and he be lieves that his company will soon be in a position to furnish gas for Illu minating purposes to the cities on the Sound. He says as the gas is gener ated, at no cost whatever, but material from which the extraction of the tar and other tluids is secured the com pany will be in a position to furnish lighting material at a much cheaper rate than any one else." HEINZE NOT IN FIGHTING MOOD HELENA, Mont., Dec. 11.—It is learned on excellent authority that Heinze has decided not to contest se riously the passage, for the fair trials bill which has been introduced at tin extraordinary session of the legisla ture. Neither will he oppose the adop tion of the measure which gives the supreme court power to review facts in equity cases. John MacGinniss, vice president of Heinze's ore purchasing company and floor leader in the lower branch, was asked how long he expected to re main in Helena. "As soon as the Amalgamated gets through." was the reply. Asked if this meant no opposition would be made to the so-called Amal gamated measures. Mr. MacGlnnis said: "We are willing to take the ( bailees that the legislature cannot pass a bill which will run the constitutional gauntlet." Thus it v ill be seen (hat Heinze ex pects to offer no more than nominal resistance to the passage of these two bills which the Amalgamated company declares are necessary to its business life in Montana. In consequence, it is expected thai the bills will be passed in short order, and it is probable the legislature can finish its work this week or. at tlv latest, early next week. The "house late yesterday adopted a resolution ex > biding from the lobbies all persons except former members, accredited newspaper men and state elective of ficers. This resolution was adopted without opposition, three or four scat tering negatives being oast. Senator Ralston introduced in tbe senate n jpint memorial addressed to the president of the United States praying for the cancellation of the re cent order withdrawing from the pub lic lands in Teton county. The me mortal states that this withdrawal of lands will result disastrously to the people and will avail nothing toward the advancement of irrigation by the government because the Held Is al ready occupied by a co-operative com pany composed of actual settlers and home builders, who must go to the wall if the government steps In and prevents the settlement of the va cant lancjw It also declares that the only class to be benefited by the withdrawal are large stockholders who have already titles to all the land they can afford to carry and failing in their attempt to lease the public range, encourage the withdrawal of the lands.
