Is the stamp of mnu and philosopher who appeals . strongly to all human He Is the! friend hdi) advisor of many wealthy' men of thl nation. IIIh lectures In the cities are events of Importance la Moclal anil Intellectual circles. HI philosophy Is so strong in the good fellowship characteristic of the Elks that the memlsrs of this lodge have secured him for many addresses. His writings are eagerly read by the busy merchant and the dignified scholur. He doe not disdain the under dog, and the following clipping from the "Reflector." pnlillsh-il by the In mates of the Indiana Reformatory, shows the appreciation of the under dog: " 'Kth Ells-rtus" came and saw and conquered. He left a streak of light ls-hlud hltn. aud a feeling of happl-n-ss and content. Somehow the corners of the mouth twitch as you think again and again of t he hour's talk to the men in the chapel We smile and we pass on. and we keep on smiling. '"Meeting him on the street your natural Impulse would lie to turn 'round and look at him again. And If your manners did not overcome nature In that way, .voir would most certainly turn 'round anil keep on looking: and hours after w lieu you thought about It you would once more say: 'I wonder who he Is.' "The select eleven hundred who heard him on Krlda.v evening of last week will wonder no molt. Meet him anywhere now and you will know him again. What Is better, you may stop htm on the street and speak to him and he will not be ashamed nor make you feel ashamed either. A noticeable man with large grey eyes: no, with dark, piercing eyes. "He spoke for ninety minutes when he was here. Many thought It was but ten minutes. He could have spoken just as fluently and Intelli gently for three or four limes that length of time, and the curious thing Is, not one of his hearers would have wished him to stop. He is a Unguis tic wizard who can do this before men who have put in a hard d.i's work, and make them happier and more restful at the end than when he began." AN INTERESTING ROSEBURG ITEM S. W.

N. Clarke GLACIER PHARMACY Hood River :: :: Oregon PEOPLE DEMAND JMOD ROADS It Is stated by a Cortland corre spondent of the News that the Good Koads movement In Oregou has le- come general. All classes are repre sented In the demand made upon the legislature for the passage of the five Oregon (iood Koads Association high wny bills that have been pend ing before It. Farmers are the most Interested because they have most to gain. The Oregon farmer Is, und has been a prisoner on his farm during tlie winter months, Is-cause the ter ribly muddy roads that mire on empty wagon keep him from the market place and from the pleasure of town. The streets of Portland the largest Oregon town, are trod lay by day by boys from the farm who would not stay In the mud and who have not learned the clerical work of the town. Thousands of acres of land are not producing wealth for prosperous communities ls-cause they cannot be reached over bad roads. In many Instances then- are no roads at all. More than two millions of acres of land worth now more than f."0,0o0. 000 were given In Oregonforthe mak ing of roads. These roads were never built. The holders of lam grants were not held accountable to their trust. There was no system. The state-wide good roads move ment now Insists upon system. Kv. ery county Is encouraged to build Its own system of roads. The highway bills provide State aid. This aid, ift.lHX) to each county in two years that raises $40,000 Is little enough compared to the fH.UMI.OOO appro priation for State-aided highways in New Ywrk, or $2, ."!) ,000 In New Jer sey, which Is enly a fraction of the size of an average Oregou county. The operation of the highways bills as l.i w, t he services of the highway board and commissioner, the appro priation generally of $00,000 to help counties build roads, the convict labor bills, tint take convicts from competition with free labor and put them at work crushing rock, the county bonding act which permits counties to pledge their credit for the construction of permanent roads all of these movements united in a gen eral system to establish a good roads system In every Oregon county are e pected to con vlnce all doubters of the development neccsslt3- and Is-nelit of pel inancnt highway construction so that when the ipieslion of In creased appropriation comes Is-fore the legislature t wo years from now, the largest possibleamount will seem little enough. Oregon's most progresslue citizens laugh at the Idea of there being poli tical motives Isdilnd the good roads movement. The good roads move ment results from the good roads necessity. It Is bigger than politics that has Is-en likened to ui'ldholes; It Is bigger than any man or any set of men. The movement Is the devel opment history of Oregon In the making, and calls for t he service of broad-minded. foreslghfed men. These hxu the men who are support ing the good road movement They ! have arisen In every Oregon county. They have told their legislators that good wngon roiols are even more important than railroads, and that railroads are of little avail, unless wagon roads are built solidly. smoothly, to serve ns transportation connection ln'tween the farm or cen ter of production and the railroad, or, If not the railroad, the market place, the center of sales.

This show will take the form of Opening Week, which is a new "and novel departure from previous exhibitions on the Pacific Coast, but has proved very popular and successful in Eastern cities. The distinct advantage of each dealer having ample space to properly dis play his entire line is a very important one, both to the dealer and visitor who will thus have the opportunity of closest possi ble inspection, while the impression gained by a visitor in a call at a dealer's establish ment, is more lasting than a visit to an exhibition space which can of necessity ve little or no individuality.
