The starting point o f genius is original discovery: the second step is its interpretation to the world.—John C. Van Dyke. In a very excellent article giving a summary o f the information gained by the newspaper men who were members o f the P. E. & E. special train through the Willamette valley, the Telegram of last Saturday states, “ Without exception those (the roads) in Washington county, in the vicinity of Hillsboro and Forest Grove are among the worst in the state.“ There is no use denying the truth of this indictment. Neither is there any use extending excuses o f any kind. It is simply up to us to accept the “ boobie” prize in the good roads movement until the time when we arouse our selves and decree that we will have as good, or better roads than any county in the state. Washington county farmers are prosperous, they are progressive, and have simply not aroused themselves to this much needed movement. It is not the cost o f good roads any more, but rather the cost of poor roads that is attracting attention. The boosting spirit that fails to notice defects in its subject in the long run will prove more o f a deterrent to development than an aid. Let no time he wasted in deciding for better roads for Washington county. Then let a scien tific system o f improvement be adopted, and immediatley putin active operation. WORST ROADS IN THE STATE Rev. Kuhlman of Tillamook was judged guilty o f breaking the “ smashing ordinance” while in Portland last week. He was freed from the charge of any unworthy intent, but was con victed on the charge o f indiscretion. According to this ruling we again learn that ignorance of human nature is more liable to lead one into trouble than mere ignorance o f the written law. Two murders have been committed in the American prize ring during the past few months. How long will the American public permit such reactionary methods o f obtaining so called amusment. As a matter o f fact, like many other evils, boxing has become much more degrading with the commercilization o f the sport.

The fight started from Cavala. Finally the Greeks got the Bul garians. out of Cavala. They have captured 17 towns, 120 can ons, and a large number o f guns and provisions. The Bulgarians retreated to their capitol, and the Greeks captured 10,000 Bul garians on the first 25 mile march toward the capital of their opponents. The Greeks have gained all Macedonia, and as soon as the Bulgarians were driven from the country, the Turks promised to become Christians under the rule o f Greece. Fifteen thousand were baptized in one week. The Greeks were prepared to enter Sofia, the Bulgarian capi tal, when the powers ordered fighting to stop. It is thought that the Greeks will get 3,000,000 francs from the Bulgarians, and the whole of Macedonia.
