STATE TO BUILD ROADS Projected Highways to Cost More Than $1,000,000. Road Legislation at Olymp.a Took Form in Two Bills, Creating State Roads. Bellingham, March 21 — "To connect Eastern and Western Washington so that the main tread of domestic com merce may be given larger and broader ways of transportation 1000 miles of wagon road has bean projected in this state which to construct will cost more than $1,000,000," said J. H. Snow, state highway commissioner. This total of proposed highway mile age provides for a series of parallel roads to be built across the mountains. The roads will be separate from each other and will vary in length from 50 to 150 miles. The most northerly of these roads is the Marblemount Harron and the Harron-Methow, two roads, one on the west side of the Cascades, the other on the east side, which join at Harron and form one continuous high way. The legislature just closed appropriat ed $225,000, with which work on these projected Btate highways will be com menced. Mr. Snow estimates that the total task will require five years to com plete ac five years will be required to get sufficient money to finish the work. Here after Mr. Snow hopes the state will have $000,000 for each two year period to work on the new projections. This year a survey and estimate of the Slate Creek road will be made, and $25, --000 will be expended on the highway which is so important to Bellingham mining interests. To complete this road an appropriation of $200,000 will be required. "Road legislation at Olympia this ses sion took form in two bills. One creating 13 state roads, the other providing for an appropriation of $ 135,000 for state aid. The plan of crossing the state with parallel roads is developed in the first bill," said Mr. Snow. "This wholesale road building proposed which the state of Washington will pay for will be carried out because of the large number of Indian reservations and the vast forest reserves which must be opened by highways and which the counties can not pay for, as no revenue can be derived from these reserves." LAND FOR STATE COLLEGE. Tract of Eighty Acres Selected Near Connell. Connell, Wash., March 22.—Last Mon day Professor Severance, Hgronomiut of the State College at Pullman, came to Connell for the purpose of viewing the several tracts of acreage offered gratis to the State College for an experimental station. A tract of 80 acres on the farm of W. B. Beckley, three miles north west of Connell, was decided on by Pro fessor Severance as an ideal tract for the purpose of the college, the 80 acres be ing as level as a floor. The college au thorities will immediately put forces to work to prepare the land and to put the station into actual operatioa. Profes sor Severance has outlined the following items as the ones to be determined by the work of the local station: First—To determine the best method of handling the summer fallow. Second—To determine the possibility of cultivating fall sown wheat to con serve the moisture. Third—To determine the adaptability of the soil here to crops other than wheat. Fourth—To determine the effect upon the succeeding wheat crop of growing a cultivated crop, like sorghum, on the summer fallow, as compared with wheat grown on a clean summer fallow. Fifth—To determine the possibility of growing an alternate crop of fodder (non cultivated) as compared with bare summer fallow. Siith—To determine the possibility of growing certain perennial grasses. To Be Tried at Boise. Boise, Idaho, March 25.—Charles H. Moyer, William I). Haywood and George A.

Shears and SawbmU. kept a store Such as never was before City f.dks they wouldn't cell. Wouldn't 1 t 'em have a smell. Fetched their mon^y—but by jing, Cookt'nt buy a blessed thinjr, Could'nt meet Vni face to face And then sell 'em with good grace. Country trade was what they sought, Folks who'd pay for what they bought 'Fore they saw it, hide or tail. They sent catalogues by mail One to ov'ry blessed one Gettin' mail at Possum Kun. We set up at night and read When we'd orter be in bed. Book was 'bout as biff as sin- Had a lot of pictures in. Had a list of merchandise, Kvry kind and ev'ry size— Givin' prices that they swore Knocked out ev'ry country store. Looked so straight and seemed bo true I bit at it —Jim did, too. Jim's my neighbor 'cross the way — Best man ever worked in hay. Just let him top off a stack— Sh"ds rain like a turtle's back. Pleasure just to see him work, Never knew 'ol' Jim to shirk; Swings a scythe like it was play— Love to watch him in the hay. Well, we, like a pair of fools. Sent off—got some hayin' tools- Jim got harness and a plow, I a range —I see it now; Drat the thing, it was bo light Used it for a torch one night; Throw'd the darn thing in the yard — Use it now for renderin' lard. 'Fore Jim used the plow an hour Found the blame thing wouldn't scour; Tried his harness —broke a tvg — Sought for solace in his jug. In the cooler all that night Jim reflected on his plight; In th« morning. Richard Stout, Hardware merchant, bailed him out. Jim said after that he'd stick Close as bark to good o' Dick; Since he left the Poß3um Jail Says he won't buy goods by mail, Say's Dick's cheaper anyhow— Might have saved some on the plow, On the other goods some more, At his o' friend's hardware store. Jim say's "we can't sell no truck To eich folks as Shears-Sawbuck, They'll take all our cash away, But won't buy our corn or hay." That seemed purty strange to me, So I told ol' Jim I' see— So I wrote to them that night Jist to see if Jim was right. Ast 'em "what they'd pay for oats? Could they use some likely shoate? Had about four tons of hay I could ship 'em right away. Could I furnish Mr. Shears With his famiiy roastin' ears? Also would my friend Sawbuck Buy some of my garden truck?" Answer came one summer day, Said they "Couldn't use our hay, Couldn't use our oats or shoatd, Didn't like our billy gcats. When they needed truck to eat Bought it down on Water street — Sorry, but they mußt refuse Anything but cash to use." I sat down and wrote 'em then, "Hate to trouble you again, But I want to thank you, sirs, For your bunch of cockle burrs. If you love your feller man, Do him good, sirs, when you can— While our merchants sweetly sleep Shears & Sawbuck shear your sheep." No Negroes for Army.

The Wallace (Idaho) Times quotes from a letter received at that place from Jack Mitchell at Tonopah. Nevada, which shows both sides of living at that blooming mining town. The Times eayp: "The letter recites in part that cooks there receive a wage of from $7 to $8 a shift, waiters $4- a shift and dishwashers f3. The shift consists of seven hours and all are paid off after every shift. Room rent is from $8 to $10 per week, and if one rents a tent it costs $15 per month unfurnished. Mitchell advises his friends and all others to stay away from that place. He saye: 'Between the time you get off shift and your arrival at your place of abode, you're broke, from the fact that every person makes a bor iow. Every restaurant man in the place is willing to sell out if he can only get a buyer on account of the standoffs. Water ie an expensive commodity.

Lewiston, Idaho, March 25.—Some in terest is taken by the members of the local lodge of Elke over the proposition of abandoning the use of the elk tooth as an emblem of the order co as to put a stop to the ruthless slaughter of that game for the sake of acquiring one or a set of the teeth. Some members are disinclined to see the tooth abolished, because it has been used so long. Others nre willing to let the matter settle itself without their assistance, while others are willing to forego the wearing of the emblem so as to further protect the elk. It is understood here that the matter is to be taken up at the grand lodge and reunion to be held at Philadelphia this summer.
