Cpeed on County Roads Limited to Twenty-Four , Miles per Hour and ElghV Miles in. Cities . and Towns Every' Machine Must Hare Number. ' ? (From Sunday's Daily.) 1 Amone the new lawa whien effeet yesterday was that for the regu lation of the use of automobiles on the county t roaas withia the state., , Al though automobiles have been: in use lit this state for the past three years and numerous accidents, due to careless, thriving ; and other ; causes, have nap pened through taer' ageneyi there has been no law on the statutes under wheh any redress could be secured by the injured party from (he driver of the, machine, who, in many instances was looked upon as responsible lor the injuries incurred. , Recognizing the need of such a law, the last legislature Drongnt abont -the enactment of the present - one: which promises to afford the relief sought by. the general public . j Doubtless all of the owners of auto mobiles are aware of the existence of the new law to regulate the use of their machines, and they have already begun to observe its provisions. Under this law, the owner, of J every automobile, motorcycle or motor : vehicle shall file in the offiee of the ; ecretary. of state a statement of his name and address, to gether with a tfesenptiou of every sueh vehicle owned by him, and shall obtain from the secretary of state a numbered certincat for each vehicle, which shall contain the name of the owner and that he ' has registered in accordance with the provisions of the act. Upon the payment of a $3 fee for each certificate be is issued a number to correspond to that of his certificate, and which nam ber shall be displayed on the back of the automobile in light-colored Arabic numerals at least three inches high, on a dark background. The exact number of automobnes, motor-cycles, etc, in the state is not known, but it is estimated at not less than 200, which means a revenue of at least $600 from this source. Up to last evening 31 applications ad been re ceived for certificates, but their issu anee has not yet begun. Although the act prescribes Xhe amount of the fee to be paid, it makes no provision to its disposal, and. whether it Is to'rro into the treasury or is retained by the secretary of state is the question. The provisions of this act do notapply to machines owned bv non-residents oc this state, providing the owners of such vehicles have reomplied with- a similar law of their own or some other state. Every automobile,, motor-cycle, etc., being driven , after daric upon tne streets of any city or highway of the country, must carry at least one lighted .amp in a conspicuous place, showing white to the' front and red to the rear, and the license or certificate must be painted in dark Arabie numerals across the white glass of the lamp. Ail ma chines are required to be provided"with a " muffler' to deaden the, sound, of the xhaustr end good and efficient brakes. They must turn to the right when meeting a team or vehicle on the rotd, and when passing them must turn to the left, f 'Perfect control must be maintained of the machine at all times when coursing upon the public roade, and the driver must exercise due care to prevent, as much as possible, the frightening of horses they mast slow down 'to at least eight miles en hour when meeting a team and, if necessary, come to a full stop if so signaled by the driver of a horse or team which shows signs of violent fright at the approach of the maehine. The speed limit . within the thickly settled or "business portion of any city or -village in the , state is restricted to eight 5 miles an hour, nor faster than eight miles an hour in the country when within 100 yards of any vehicle drawn by horses, a The highest speed permissible to be attained on the coun try roads is twenty-four miles per hour, or one mile m two and one-half minute, and the limit of speed over a crossing or crosswalk within the limits of any, city or village in the state is four miles an hour. The penalties pre scribed for violations of this act aret Not exeeeding$25 for the first offense, 50 for the second offense, and not ex ceeding S10O for any succeeding f- ense. jBy noting the number upon the bade or any macnine, one can ucin mine the na'me of the owner by apply ing to the office of the secretary of state .where the 'correspondingly num bered certificate is kept n file. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AS COW i PUNCHER. " Invited - by friends from New : York, close to his family, Roosevelt went to the west ia July, 1884. to gather ma terial for his lHk, "The Winning of the West," says Pearson's for June, lie had no intention of locating in Da kota; he had come simply to study western life and, incidentally, obtain recreation. Primarily, the aim of his western life was to be literary, .But he was so pleased with the country that s he decided to stay. lie bough two ranches, both well stocked. Then began his real western life; the priva tions and hardships, the scoffs and hard knocks which polished the rough dia mond of his youth into the brilliance of his manhood.1 k.-; .

In two. weeks he could swing, the lariat as well as an expert and brand a calf as deftly as any ranchman. yi v His .associates, 'for the most part were a rough lot. Many were fugi tives from the east who escaped prison bars to hide their identity on western plains. Others were Texans who, hav: iag driven cattle from the Bio Grande across the prairies to Dakota, stayed their either through choice or eces: sity. Gambling and drinking were their chief amusements, and , bloody brawls occurred as regularly as pay day. S . -r ' -l y Thefts of horses and cattle were very freqnent.:" Ranches and v corral would be raided at night and the 'best-stock approximated by the 'brigands of the prairies. Then would - start the man bunt, i J The .whole 'country . would i' be aroused ; cowboys would :"spring up oa all aides, armed to the teeth and eager for the chase.' And the sequel T' Sum mary ; justice, administered in tn western style a thief strung , to the nearest tree- and , riddled with bullets served as a warning to all ethers of bis stripe. . " With such men this embryo president ''yr with - a few friends ia the - Northern Pacific hotel at Jledora, which he fre quently . made his - headquarters, : when not out on the round-up. It was only natural that, the "boys' should , dub the young easterner- ''Tenderfoot Ted dy J and at first try, to impose .upon him. It waa. then that he asserted his true character. . One incident in par ticular dispelled the prejudice against Roosevelt and forever-intrenched him in the affections of the. ranchman. I will let E. lu Simmers, at that time a ranchman at Medora, who was with Roosevelt during his western life, give an eye-witness' , version of , the affair. ; " We were on the spring round-up aear the Big Box Elder river," says 8immers, "when. Lord , Alexander I North, a distinguished x.ngiisnman, joined our party for a hunting expedi- tion. The titled Johnny Bull was a six foot, ror teomplexioned, proud and ath- letie looking f ellow. J tell yon he soon won many friends. He was a , clever boxer , and had made the best men in the camp quit before his gloves.

' ' - "He also excelled as a marksman," says Simmers. "One day when the boys were at target practice 'Teddy' appeared, to look on. ." 'Here, Roosevelt, said one of theja disruption of the party temporarily, crowd, 'try your luck. Drawing his 45-caliber Colt revol ver from his Jtielt, he stepped off- thirty paces and fired at a circular piece of tin, the size of a dollar. He struck it. Henceforth ,' Teddy was more re spected."

Foaled in 189Q at Vancouver,, Wash ington, it will, be seen that Chehalis was 14 years old at the t-me or nis death, ne was bred by Jay Beach, the owner of .Altamont, and was sold as a two-year-old to Frank Frazier, of Pen- dleton, Oregon, for 600. That year he was broken to harness and waa worked on the Walla' Walla It rack by Lew Childl. When a three-year-old Chehalis was handled by Sam Castro. It was in- tended to make him a trotter, but pae- i'ng was his natural gait, so Mr. Frsxier let the colt have his way. , The greatest performance of thisi; V black wnariwina ot vregon- was on the 6th of October, 1897, when he broke the world's two-mile pacing record of :22 on.
