FHoni Black River Valley to Old Forge Made Possible By County Co-operation. At a special meeting of the board of supervisors of Herkimer county, held on the 21st, an action was ta- ken which is of much interest to Lewis county * people, especially those of the southern part of the county and' to those who have au- tomobiles. The supervisors made an additional appropriation for the county's share of the cost of the state road from McKeever to Old Forge, the total cost of which is $116,186. The Lewis county board of super- visors lias authorized the building of a county road from the village of Port Leyden to the Herkimer county line and Herkimer county hap^,uthor- ized a short road to connect therewith runping from the county Un£ to Mc- Keever. The building of these roads, taken in connection with the McKee- ver-Old Forge road,- will give Lewis county a direct state road into the heart of the Adirondacks, which will supply not only a convenient route to the lakes but will afford a delightful scenic route as well. The credit for the Lewis , county cennection is due to Supervisor Sears, who has placed all autoists under ob- ligations by his efforts in the mat- ter. PraiERIIJEN MEET Informal Talk on Mexico Given by W. G. Barney.—Recitation by Judge Hilts. About 50 of the men of the Presby- terian church gathered at the chapel on Monday evening for an evening of varied entertainment. The new stereoptican was brought into use suc- cessfully' with a large number of slides showing the, structure of various woods. These slides were prepared by R. B. Hough and are of great scien- tific value as well as being beautiful. Other slides of local views prepared by Mr. Frost were also shown. An interesting feature of the even- ing was a talk on the situation in Mexico by W. G. Barney, who is not only familiar with Mexico but is per- sonally acquainted with some of the actors in the recent revolutions. As a mining engineer Mr. Barney has traveled much in Mexico, has spent considerable time in Mexico City and is qualified to interpret the recent de- velopments with the aid of first hand knowledge of the people. Judge Hilts gave a number of reci- tations which were appreciated, as is anything which the Judge does of this sort. Lend a Hand Circle. A Lend a Hand Circle has been or- ganized by Mrs. Maude E.

Steady Democratic Gain, Republican Loss and Large Unenrolled Vote.— Independents, Other Than Bull Moose, Hold Balance of Power. We present below a political pho- tograph of the cdunty, by election districts, based on the new enrollment and the vote of last November for governor. The first figures given are the enrollments as shown by the lists just issued by the Commissioners of Elections. Those who care to keep track of the vote and political com- plexion of the county may well clip this matter and save it for future reference. The vote of the small par- ties totals only 178 in the county and is ignored in these computations as being only confusing. ;Croghan. Dist. No. 1—Dem., 41; Rep., 60; not enrolled, 98.

By a co- incidence, Sulzer received 353 more votes than the Dem. enrollment while Straus received 353 fewer votes than the unenrolled voters. Report Follows Recommendations of Lewis County Physicians in Aboli- tion 6\f Boards of Health and Physi- cal Examination of Children. Last Wednesday the governor trans-- mitted to the legislature the report of the special health commission ap- pointed by him, with a message urg- ing that the recommendations be en- acted into law. Those who. followed the discussion by the physicians of the county in the columns of the Democrat, will be interested in noting that the commis- sion in its recommendations follows very closely the lines of reform sug- gested by those who expressed their views. Lewis County Suggestions. One of the suggestions is that the state, outside of New York city be divided into 20 sanitary districts, each to be in charge of a sanitary • super- visor, who shall devote all his time to his district. Another Lewis county suggestion followed is that'the boards of health be abolished -and that the compensation of the'local health offi- cers be increased. It is suggested that all of the functions, pf the boards of health may be performed as well by the town boards and village boards of trustees. The commission esti- mates that the board of health system costs the' state $100,000 a year, for which the people receive no adequate return. Another' Lewis county idea is that of the physical examination of all children in the public schools, which is provided for in the commission's plan. Rural Death Rate Highest. The commission points out thate whereas 10 years ago the death rate of the country was far lower than that of the cities, the reverse is now true. The improvement of sanitation and control of preventable disease in the cities has resulted in a great re- duction in the mortality rate while that of the country has Increased, so that statistics actually show that it is healthier jh the cities than in the villages and Country. As the cdMmissioh''poYnts \butf'its'* work has resolved itself almost en- tirely into a study of the betterment of country conditions. Tuberculosis Hospitals Urged. The commission strongly urges that each county with a population of 25,- 000 or more take immediate steps to- ward the erection of a tubrculosis I hospital and that counties, towns and villages be authorized to employ nurses to care for and' instruct oth- ers in the care of those afflicted with tuberculosis and other diseases. A state fund is also suggested, for the aid of the counties. which are willing to bear part of the expense of a hos- pital for the care of those suffering from the great white plague. Other and more general reforms are suggested, all tending to central- ize and co-ordinate the health affairs of the state, which are not of so much local interest. Lewis county has taken an active part in gathering the data upon which this report is based. The . time is coming for her to take the lead in putting into effect the recommenda- tions of the commission. The governor continues the life of the health commission in order that it may make a supplemental report on some matters which it has not had time to investigate. Current Events Club Qiscusses the Matter.—Membership to Be Inr 'creased and Work Enlarged. The Current Events Club met Mon- day evening with Mrs. Frank McGov- ern of Dayan street, devoting a part of the evening to a study of child wel- fare, with special reference to the plan of pensioning mothers having to earn the support of dependent children in- stead of placing such children in in- stitutions. The study of live sociolog- ical questions taken up by this club is proving to be of great interest to its members and plans for admitting members, with a view to increasing effectiveness of the work of the club, are being considered. It is intimated that at the proper time some local matters may receive the attention of thee lub. School Principals to Meet. The Jefferson-Lewis County Princi- pals' Council will meet in Watertown on Saturday, March 8th. The princi- pal of Lowville Academy has been asked to lead the discussion on the following subject, \Are the Public Schools Efficient? What Impediments Have They? a Social Functions; b. Athletics; c. Others.\ CHILDREN OF%p/l&RJ$M REVO- LUTION 5OR0AN5ZE. n *•-, •ferJX * More About Pure Bred Cattle,—Views of N. W. Salmon', of Glenfield.—- t Other Side Later. We are in receipt of,a letter from Mr. N. W. Salmon,- proprietor of the Wellsland Stock Farm, which is space permitted, should be published in full. Summarized, Mr. Salmon says: \Those who have taken up the breeding of pure-bloods as a business have met with much greater success than those who have not. It is true that the first cost is greater and this seems to be the principal reason which keeps fanners from making a start. Then, again, they think of the possible losses, forgetting that the profits are large. The greatest source of immediate profit is the sale of surplus stock, but this is not the only advantage of rais- ing pure-bred stock. The well bred pure-Dloods have been ;bre.d. ,a,lo.ng-th.e lines pt great vjirpduc:. tion for so many generatibtis'TJia.t the results of their mating are practically assured.
