Ii is highly probably that the extra lands are for an appropriation for tbe LewU acd Clark centennial and the next legislature will at least appropriate 12-30, UJ0 for the enierpiise. .Educational Notes, tj B. rimLOi Co SVnool 6upt 0 A special ecboiil meeting baa bee 1 called in district Nj. -3, at Stephens, lor Jan.

Another intelligent line of interroga tion might be presented thus: Who would be benefitted by good roida?

Much leas than such , roads would return in actual value to the builders, in less than ten years, alter which we would not only have back more -than their cost, but the roads themselves. TIih writer, in this short article, baa not attempted to tell how he thinks good roads should be made, prelerripg to leave this part to a subsequent ariting, should an interest in this matter be awakened Neither does he desire to ceneure super yieors and those who have had the man' ageruent of roadjwork ana road money, knowing full wsll that many of them bave much better plans than their now ers and means will warrant In carrying out; and, farther be does not wish tj be immodest before tbe public, so, sub scribes himself, Taypaykk, Wilbur, Oregon, Jan. 3, 1902.

I have examined this sample and find that it is almost entirely pure sulfur. I think that it would answer the purposes very satisfactorily for spraying compounds or insecticides. I think that if you have plenty of this quality, or can get it, that it will be as good as any sulfur that we can obtain for spraying materials. Very truly yours, A. L. KNISELY. A. C.
