It has} bees ywSoghti also, to make the paper genuinely and creditably representative of the enterprise, the intelligence and the char- acter that have made Malone and Frank- lin county what they have become. So far as there has been failure in this direc- tion, lack of power or judgment, and not of will, most serves* explanation and ex- cuse. Oar farewell to those who have been readers and friends of the PALLADIUM— some; of them for years covering Wa period from youth to age—is reluctantly and sadly spoken, bat with deep apprecia- tion of their kind and steadfast support and regard. It ia by no means assured that the writer will not again engage In newspaper work in Halone, though when and how —if ew—may not now be known. MR. KiUtURN The new highway code for the State of New York is so radical a departure from the scheme under which we have been building and maintaining our xoada for a century and more that time must be had to put into smooth and effect!?* wwkiaa; tax- payers and pubJiQcfficfajrwe pretty mm to-bfejarred in the process, the change carries, tea, the probability of ao great an Improvement oltf mttely that we are per haps in danger of expecting too much In the way of immediate results. We are under obligation, therefore, to remember that wa have been road building in Ua- lone, for illustratloa^for over a hundred years with mighty little to «how for it,, and thai it would be unreasonable to ex- pect to make oar highways trotting courses off-hand. The town baa perhaps a hundred and fifty miles of public high- way, and to put it all into State highway condition would cost a million and a quarter of dollars! Since wear* prepared to spend only perhaps six to eight thou- sand dollars annually for repairs and per* manent construction both, the^neoessity for patience and moderate expectation in the matter is obvious. >- Still, we hate the right to expect some gain, and will be justified- 5 in scolding if wefiiiitoget ife V Doubtless the chief beneficial tesalfcto be realtaed-wBde* th« new taw will be the application of bofiiness methods and the requirement that value be given for every dollar epent, whweas under the <MfSif tern the operating motive was often to aee how much could be got for nothing, or for next to nothing. A case in mind will illustrate. An individual who was improving a drive on big own property, buying gravel from the same bank^that the town used for its stippiy, and paying my giwn appropriation to bespread over so great a distance that the work would have to bo of such a character *a to make it needful to do it over again in a ye«r or two, put, to insist that even if only a short stretch he covered it shall be done fa a way to last, Wt, Howard has already visited all but three cf the to#os of the county, and con- ferred with their officials coacexpiag the ucopeand snlrlt of the new law, and as to, the methods that are to morern in the performance of work. Upon the com- pletion of his fiwtroufld of the towns, it ishisptirposetostartona second vigita^ tion for observance of the way that re- pairs are being made, end will later make a third tour to inspect s*rmanent work. The information that reaches us front the towns where Mr. Howard has been, together with some personal examination of faii plant and consideration ot the re- quirements that he has prescribed in par' ticular instances, satisfies us that he is en< lering upon thedischargeof hisduties w}th an intelligent conception of what ought to be done, and a resolute purpose to see to it, so far as lie* within nit power, that ovary dollar laid out shall produce a full doUw'a worth Of work. That policy carefully adhered to will certainly give u« appraciably betfrroada by-andby, ITEMS. mmmm COU«T „,ini) i IIIpaw PROCEEDINGS. F#y« tempt any commemoration of its work. , . It it enough if we say fl»t«« ; »imof^E £ M .?f w *¥ 4lw i pr ^* M2 hft m * AND THE SENATOB- SHiP> of public sentiment con- tained in the St. Lawrence count? news- papers apparently jfnUy justify the ex- peoution that if we present a saas*tetorr candidate Franklin county Republicans will be permitted to name Senator O'NeU'a successor. Not only has every Eepublicari newspaper in Franklin county declared the opinion that Mr. Kiiburn should be presented as such candidate, but from most of the towns we hear of representative Eepublicansdeolaring the same view, so that the movement seems to be both spontaneous and general. The crux of the question is of coarse nfif at\ alT whether Mr, Kiiburn baa claims upon the office and wants, it, but whether the people have claims upon Mr. Kiiburn and want kin. The office ia too big and important, and the opportunities which it comprehends for rendering bene- ficial service both to the district and to the State as a whole are too many, to make tolerable for an instant the idea that it should be used merely to gratify somebody's aspirations, or to reward any- body for asserted or even for admitted work for the party. Indeed, the single teat that should beep- plied is, Whom the entireeounty is best fitted by State acquaintance, experience, grasp of local and State' neede and by ability and character to fill the office with usefulness, dignity, honesty and honor; and, regarding all of the qualifi- cations as one, wethink that there is no difference of judgment among our people that in Ma« Kiiburn they are combined and are eminent as in the person of ho other one individual in FrankUn county. So we repeat, that the defcrminating factor ought not in any degree to be whether we want to \do soðing\ for Mr, Kiiburn, but whether we want him to do a good deal for us, and whether he is better fitted to undertake - it and achieve it than anybody else that we could get. Can there be bat one answer to that propoaifcion? \^ '^— WWWljli. 1 f •*!•»•< II ' HUH ' ••> _ APPRQPRtATtONS VETOED. Governor Hughes has probably out deeper than any predecessor in vetoing appropriations. The' aggregate of the items that he has thus killed this year is just under four and a half millions of dollars, and it is characteristic of him that he makes no parade of the matter, nor any pretext that-he has thereby \saved\ the whole amount of the appro- priations vetoed. Upon the contrary, he expressly recognizes that many of them are meritorious, and that provision for doing the work which they contemplated will have to be made later—the vetoes of this sort amounting, therefore,; only to a postponement of expenditure. v The Governor explains that he was; constrained to this ceurse by regard for the condition of the treasury, which ia such that all of the moneys voted by the Legislature can not consistently and wisely be supplied at this time. - There are also among the vetoed items a number which the Governor condemns as unnecessary or improper—such as increases of salaries, for payment of a trip by the Governor and his staff to the Alaska-Yukon exposition at Seattle, and for undertaking public works which are deemed to be of only local, rather than of State, importance. The principal items; vetoed are fof pros- ecuting work on the new State educa- tional building at Albany (A million dol- lars), and for enlargi'pf. or improving State cbaritablesod penal institutionp.anci for the bailding of new armorie* Other vetoee ateilbf/:***-. appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for the pur* chase by the State of additional forest lands in the Adirondacks, and something like three .hundred thousand dollars for the State fair at Syracuse.\ Unquestionably there will be a deal of scolding by the interests that suffer through thawB vetoes, bnt those who con- aider them solely from a broad public standpoint must givs them approval as a paid, hauled a yard and a half to a yard and three-quarters at every load, and the pm& wat satisfied if its loads' Averaged one yard each. In yet another town aev* era! hundred dollart w«e paid out in sur- facing a hill with gravel, and- because no ditches were provided every yard, was washed to the foot of the hill the next spring—thus making an absolute waste of the expenditure. Scores of Ukejlluav trations will occur to nearly every one mho im noted how one road work hat been done. \ -- „jguj under county and State supervision, all this most endj, and in place of it we are bound to get thoroughness, intelli- gent methods, and eventually permanent improvements. County Superintendent Samuel A> Howard has prepared specifications for # permanent work -whose enforce- ment will be insisted upon, and regard for which will be likely to give enduring benefits for every outlay of money. These specifications have been approved by the State highway commis- sion, and Only in exceptional conditions Mil any departure from them be permit- ted- They/ cover these points: W&tfk of fi^fttcoyr.-^-All highways per- manently improved shall be at least 24 feet wide-shaving a^uriace of 13 feet of gravel or broken stone, and six feet shoulders or slopes on each side. Stdi^piade.=~After the surface of the sub grade hat been properly shaped, and before any gravel or broken stone is put on, it shall be thoroughly rolled and com. P*oted. DifcAea.—All ditcheB shall be at feast two feet below the center of the finished surface of the road, and. if the soil be clayey or of a heavy nature, the ditches shall be at least two and one-half feet deep, Surface,—The surface of the roadway shall be formed of broken-stone macadam or of bank gravel—well rounded, and with a slope of at feast one in twenty. If gravel is used the toplayer shall be at least six inches thick at the center of roadway, and sot less than four inches thiok at the sides. ' -\\\.\\. Bottom course for macadam nwd.—The bottom course of roadway, if to be built of broken stone, shall be^ at least three inches in thickness when in place. Top course for macadapt roaA.^ The top course of roadway shall be at least three inches in thickness, and shall be formed of crashed approved stoae.of No» 2:eire. ../ «.. Filler or btndefi-^ the filler for bottom coarse shall be sand or screenings from crusher. The binder for top course shall be screenings of same stone as top course. (There are also definite and exacting re- quirements for other details of construe tion, looking to thoroughness and to obtaining durability.) - Culvert* and, SIMICM.—Culyerta and sluices'shall be built of ironi concrete or masonry. The use of tile of any kind will not be permitted. : Bridge*.— Bridges shall be constructed according to plans furnished by the county superintendent. AH abutments shaU be built of concrete or tuasonry, ^^fvoird wS*.—Posts shall be of oak, cedar or other wood acceptable to the county superintendent. They shall be at least five inches in diameter at- smaller end, and seven feet long. They shall be notched for rails, and sloped on top with an incline toward the roadway. Posts shall be placed not over nine feet apart. Hails shall be surfaced hemlock or ether wood, and shall bi of the dimension of twoby six, and shall be spiked to poets. All parts of guard rails shall be painted with at least one coat of white lead and Oil. • ' •••-'. \ ,: Thus we see that the old Wooden cul- vert has bad its day, and that protection against driving off a bridge or causeway is hereafter to be real, and not a sham. It ia manifest also that 4he very import* ant requirement for ditches, the neglect of which in the past has ruined so many highways, is not to be tolerated longer. Governor Hughes hat arranged to pate the coming summer, 'mm he did that of 1W8, in the Adirondackt. He will camp in the vicinity Of Saranao Inn, to which be expects to go fibout June 15th. , v^ , Chicago dispatchesstate that every day the reports concerning prospeota foe the wheat crop grow worse, and in conse- quences the price for wheat, oontinuea to advance.

The Record says: \It is probable that definite steps will be taken in the near future. The greatest obstacle seems to be the location of a suitable site, and as soon as this cari be eeoured work will in all probability commence. The gen- eral sentiment of the townspeople favors a location where a park could be laid ont to surround the building, and- therefore those having the matter in charge are proceeding with the utmost caution, in order that, when final decision is reaohed, we may have a beauty spot thaj^will be a credit to the oommunity.\ - f The Nokom'is (Saskatchewan) corres- pondent of the Saskatoon PhaBnix writes an interesting and glowing account of the development that is going on at Nokomis, Where quite a number of Frank- lin county people have investments, and of which Mr. A.

Of these particular inter- ests the correspondent says:. \Immedi ately adjacent to the town Mr. A.C Allison, manager of the Franklin l^alty Go., has 900 acres in wheat and 800 in oats.

Generally speaking, the towns of Frank- lin county are entering into observance of the new highway code to an admirable, spirit, and with genuine progreesiveness. Most of them are setting apart sums rang- ing from three or four hundred dollars 1 each to as much as four thousand dollars for improving permanently one or more stretches of important road?, and many of them are procuring proper eqafpment for prosecattng the worx ad vanttgeoosly, Bangor, Brighton and Malone have either bought or leased both stone crushers and steam rollers;, and Aitamopt, Bombay, Burke, Chateaugay, Barrietstown, Sjmts, Clar**ndWa*er?y each have*crusher.

The weather on the Paclfio ooatt hat continued dry and cold, with • conse- quent poorer prospect for a good hop yield. Oregon's crop isnow estimated as not likely to exceed two-thirds of last year's harvest, and to California, where the earlltr outlook was thought to be good, there is now oomplaint that the yards are suffering through want of rain. In the vicinity of Waterrllle, this State, the yards are uneven, and it is prophesied that the yield will be light. Opinions differ to Franklin county as to conditions here. A number of growers declare that tbe yards are Hot generally good, while other observers claim that they have come through the winter quite as satisfactorily as could have been ex- pected, and that with a favorable sum- mer we shall have « fair yield, acreage considered. But of coarse the industry bete U unimportant as compared with-* quarter of a century ago. Indeed, last year's production to the county wa* hardly more than a sixth of ow record crop. Hops *tUi to the hands of growers are estimated to be under li.OOO bale* for the entire United States at against 40,000 bales uuaoldsat this aeas m in 1909. It is this scant supply on hand, together with poor crop outlook, that give* hope to many that price* next autumn wui be remunerative. •.*•-••• •.. «,•» - •.'..'.. The appropriation* for necessary work at tbe Northern New York Institute for Deaf Mute* at Malone, amounting to about #4,000, escaped the Governor's ob- jection, and are now law.
