The Good Roads Amendment
Those who are earnestly inter
ested in prood roads should not
forget to vote properly on the
amendment allowing counties to
bond for permanent roads,
which will appear on the ballot
election day, November 8th.
The section of the state constitu
tion in regard to counties going
in debt now reads:
"No county ebttll create any delits
or liabilities which shall singly or In
the'agicrvgate exceed the tim of five
thousand dollars, except to suppress
Insurrection or rel Invasion, but
the debts of any county at the time
this constitution takes effect shall be
disregarded In estimating the sum to
which each county Is limited."
It is proposed to amend this
section so a to read as follows:
"Section 10: Article XI: No coun
ty shall create any debts or liabili
ties which shall singly or In the ag
gregate exceed the sum of five thou
sand dollars, except to suppress In
surrection or repel Invasion, or to
build permanent roads within the
county, but debt for permanent
roads shall be incurred only on ap
proval of a majority of those voting
on the question."
The amendment grants to the
people of each county the power
to pledge the credit of their
county for money to build per
manent public roads. The ques
tion whether or not a county
should pledge its credit to raise
money for building any perma
nent road would be submitted to
a vote of the people of that
county and would be decided by
a majority vote. The people of
any county may issue bonds or
warrants, or any form of obliga
tion they desire, for such length
of time and at such rate of in
terest as they may determine
in short, this amendment is but
an additional grant of power to
the people of each county to
manage their own business.
The amendment should be
carried, as it will give those
counties that want it the oppor
tunity to build permanent roads
in the near future on an exten
sive scale, and extend the cost
over a period of years that wil
make payment easy and equal.

The steamer, Prince Kupert, Is oue of
the finest on the Pacific and will
carry methlug over 200 first cabin
passengers. A representative party
of business men from all sections of
the northwest Is expected to make
the trip, which should result In a
great Increase of the already profit
able trade between the Islands and
Puget Sound, a trade which Involve
all of the principal products of the
northwestern states. The Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, which Is con
ducting the excursion, has opened
booking offices at 612 First Avenue,
Seattle, where details about the trip
mav be learned.

The state of Washington will
probably not tamper with her laws
governing the sale of liquor this
year, and It appears likely that Ore
gon will defeat prohibition despite
the active campaign being made by
a few workers In that state. Mav
Ing adopted local option Washing
ton Is trying to let that law work
out Its own salvation, but whether
It la a success or not remains to be
seen. At the election la November
even cities In Washington which
previously had voted dry under local
option will hold new elections on the
much moted liquor question. In
some of these towns the revenue
from liquor licenses Is sorely needed
to keep down taxes, while In others
the business men have suffered by
the dry policy, much trade going to
nearby towns. On the other hand,
many wet communities will vote on
the liquor question and some of them
will go dry. This continual change
and unrest and repeated holding of
elections makes the legislators un
certain as to the success of the local
option law, and they will not meddle
with the question further until the
results of the present law become
more apparent.
The trade relations Itetween the
cities of the Pacific northwest and
the Hawaiian Islands, which have
bwn Increasing In Importance ever
since the Alaska-Yukon-Poctfic expo
sition, will le more firmly cemented
than ever by the visit this winter of
an excursion of business men from
the northwest to the Islands, under
the auspices of the Seattle Cbamtr
of I om metre. The steamship, Prince
Kupert, of the new (irand Trunk
Pacific line, has been chartered for
the trip, and business men from all
part of the northwest, with their
families, have Iteen Invited to Join
In the 32 day cruise of the Islands.
The visit will combine business with
pleasure, the excursionist spending
teu day at Honolulu during th j Seattle, Washington.
The Huunal Dry Farming Congress
which held Its sessions In Spokane
during the first week In Octoler,
proved the biggest success of auy
meeting of the organization ever held
and a host of delegates from the
great farming states of the west as
sembled to hear the prominent speak'
ers and to attend the small gather
ings where special features of the
technical side of dry farming were
discussed for the Instruction of the
delegates. Prof. J. H. Worst, of the
North Dakota Agricultural College
was elected president of the Dry
Farming Congress for the year.whlle
John T. Bums remains as secretary
and treasurer, with headquarters at
Spokane. Congressman Frank Mon-
dcll of Wyoming, the retiring presl
dent, was made an honorary vice
president. Alfreil Atkinson Is vice
president. The usual number of for
elgu delegates were preseut and were
named as International vice presi
dents. The Congress was especially
useful In pointing the way to the
settlement of thousands of acres of
unclaimed laud In the western states,
by proving that scientific methods
make possible Its profitable cultlva
tion. During the past season, the
driest In the history of the west. It
was clearly proven that good crops
could le raised by modern dry farm
tng methods, whereas the unscientific
farmers suffered from-the drought.
The result of the work done by the
agricultural experts through the Dry
Farming Congress and by other
means Is being felt In the settlement
of the vacant lands lu the northwest,

and Home Association was held at
the I'ultanan church on Monday
evening, October 3rd. The commit
tee on organization reported and a
constitution was adopted, providing
for regular meetings once lu two
months. Dr. Jpldsbury, of Boston,
gave an Interesting talk concerning
school conditions as pertaining to
the health of the children. He urged
that such conditions be made as nat
ural and healthful as possible and
that the children spend more of their
time In the open air. Mrs. Campbell
gave u very fine rendering of some
selections from the reader of her little
daughter. Henry I Howe was
called on for a sketch of the early
history of the Hood Itlver school,
and responded In a very Interesting
manner, giving an account of the
schools from the first in the Ws, and
more particularly his own experience
of about 20 years, beginning In lbSO,
Supt. Coad followed with a short
but suggestive talk on the equip.
ment of the schools and what they
are trying to accomplish.
The attendance was good for such
a stormy evening. The next meeting
will be held at the Park street build
ing on November "th.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an Inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tule Is Inflamed, you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when It Is entirely closed,
deufnehs Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tule restored to Its normal con
dition, hearing will le destroyed for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are
cansed by catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
