The suggestion is a good one and may prove valuable in interesting persons in the good roads'propagauda. It should result in the filling in of many chuekholcs and much temporary rejiair work. Perhaps it may induce some eitv people to work a little for the benefit of the country anil may n-iiH in farmers improving their own wads. Uoo-l vwuis are not built in a day. They are not built iy vommcers. j uey are tne work ot experts and cost money. Permanent improvement involves a considerable investment, an annual maintainance and a resultant higher rate of taxation. Rut the latter is more than made up bv tire reduction m the cost of transportation following the road construction. They are therefore a legitimate and iii-irvsMu. uiL'MnifiiL wr me coiummuiy. As has before been advocated in these columns, the best method of improving dirt roads is by use of the "King" split log drag, following a rain, before the earth bakes. Jackson comity has recently constructed fifty of these drags for use on the county highways, and their use should result iu much smoother and better highways. Notwithstanding improved methods of construction and simple rules for maintainance, the bulk of our road build ers remain hopelessly immune to progress and the primi tive methods of the first road bui der are still in evidence.: But each year sees improvement. Eventuallv scientific mtliods may prevail on the branch roads as thev do now on the Pacific highway.

Churchill, announces tha the industrial clubs which are being being organized In the public schoo'i of the. state, are proving very popu lar with the children. Although the work of organizing these clubs has been In progress but a short tlmj. 4363 pupils have already enrolled and applications for membership are coming In at the rato of ISO a day. There aro 10 projects In which the school children may compete, fo. prizes, the names of the projects and the number of pupils enrolled in each being as follews: Canning and preserving .... 371 Cooking and baking 563 Dairy herd record ...... ... 36 Corn raising . 3S3 Manual arts -. 266 1'lg raising ..... 13 1 Potatoes .-.. 296 Poultry -......... .... 472 Sowing. ...U.......M..1,015 Vegetable gardening . 777 Wenatchee's Fight Against Blight (From the Weatchee World., To the 1'copJc of the Wcnatchee val ley: Wc mnke this appeal to all the people of Wenntchec valley because we feel that nnything affecting the fruit industry is vital to the intcrot of nil other industries of the com munity. It is necessary that every citizen of this valley should interc-t himself and nid ill the battle against fire blight. The results of the work of the next month are more momentous than many people realize. There is enough holdover blight in some pnrtt of the Wcnatchee valley to ruin practically every orchard of the more susceptible varieties if condi tions this spring are favorable to the spread of the blight. It is a difficult thing to warn the people of the community. Most men prefer to wnit until dUa-ter stares them in the face. Mot of the fruit districts that hnve heen nearly de vastated by fire blight have" had some warning. Slowness in heeding that wanting has cot enormously. Xow is the time for concentrated effort. Nearly everywhere we go we find some holdover blight. Last c -ening in ono orchard near Cashmere in a five-minute search we found enough blight to ruin all th ur roundiug orchards. This orchard had been pruned and nppnrently wa iei in mis Minie io go turougli tne spring. This man had even cut through blight cankers with h s sa in pruning. Blight cannot bo ..tnniH'd out b nn individual. It must be community work. The blight left by one cureless grower will undo all the careful work of the ninety nud nine who are do ing their work cnrefullv. We all have loo much at tnke to let blight ruin the fniit industry of this val ley. It is not loo late if all will help. The incctor.s are trving to or- gnnize tliw alley into ro-oiwratiw blight-fighting unit. Von ns an in dividual can aid by seeing that every man attends these meetings and hel in the organization. Thi is not written ns :i scare; it is nn npHal to Wcnatchee to save herself. Wc have been in the blight work iu other section nnd hnve seen the havoc wrought by this po-f.

They re belled; gained their !m!ecndcnce; and united under our federal consti tution Into a single nation. Other states have since Jo'ned the union So the sjate became the unit. For purpose of local administra tion, the states arc divided Into sub divisions; the counties. Tho coun ties of most states, on plans varying with tho several state, aro dlvldcl Into smaller units, townships, dis tricts, precincts, etc Citizenship holding to a strict Interpretation of this rule, and against a broad Inter pretatlon of Implied or general pow ers being grunted In city charters. Tli ore also applies tho principle that a hod) cannot delegate to others powers that are delegated to It. In other words, the people of the stale, the original source of authority, hav. Ing delegated to the legislature through the state constitution, the right to organize cities nnd grant them charters, the legislatures could . not delegate that power Io others. I even thn people of the cities them- selves. A slight breaking awav The theory of the system groups 'fom this fetish was seen In the the people, as to tholr citizenship. In-! holdings of some courts that a legli to states. It might be said, with rcl-jhUuro could draft a proposed char atlve but not absolute accuracy, tbatjtcr ami allow tho people of th city tho Individual Is a citizen ot a state, to determine by vote whether ther but a resident of a city or county, would or would not adopt It. This principle Is exemplified through- l"rrvlom of the t'lilen out our common law, as for Instance! Tho lesson seen In the glorious In the right of th several states to histories of the cities ot ancient civ determine tho qualifications of voters therein even when It comes to voting for national officers. The IVopIo Are Supremo A fundamental principle of our lllzatlous. of Athens. Home. Syracuse. Carthage, and of the "city-states" of Kuropo In the middle ages, seem to have been lost upon our America a people. The real secret of the growth charter commlnsloti Is guided In It. work. Hut even under tho homo rulo provision of our state constitution, tho rltlcti am more or less limited Iu their powers. Obviously they can not nuthorlie or coudoun arts violat ing tho criminal laws ot tho slate Also they cannot concern themselves with. tho governmental functions delo gated, under tho constitution, to other ngencles. For Instance, in Oregon we have a rntlier unutuml school s)sleiu whlrli does not por mil a city, as such, to provide for or control Its schools. Our local schools are not those of thu city of Med ford, but those of tho Mod ford school district, lleuco our city char ter cannot bo concerned with thotu This statement of tho cltys place In our political atrurturo Is I in nortaut In our present studies, for this reason. The great upheaval and demand for municipal reform that Is sweeping through tho country, flndi Its chief cause In tho evils of city government that havo characterized our cities among thoso ot tho world; which evils have sprung primarily from their dependence upon tho con. trol. caprice and whims ot state leg islatures The movement Is of vast Importance. It heralds tho dawn ot a fuller and better tomorrow.
