OUR HIGHWAYS THE WORST.
Englishman Declares That He Found
No Such Poop Ones Elsewhere.
' While on a visit to this country re
cently Bobert H. Jackson of Walburn
Lodge, London, had during an Inter
view occasion to criticise the condition
of our highways. Mr. Jackson said:
"No country I have visited has such
poor roads as the United States. This
Is surprising to me, for if there is any
Improvement a nation can make that
pays for Itself It Is the building of
first class highways, I spent several
weeks in Indiana at Terre Haute
and as I am Interested largely In farm
ing I made frequent trips through the
surrounding country. Some of the
roads were six inches deep In dust,
and in the winter, I doubt not, this
dust becomes sludge. How the farm
ers can get to market with their crops
la beyond me. Tour roads wherever I
have been are generally very bad. In
England we have excellent roads, as In
other countries of Europe.
"Road building and road Improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers, and the
coat of improving the roads or building
new ones is borne by the property
owners in proportion to the valuation
of their holdings. Most of the modern
roads of England have a foundation of
brick not of ordinary brick, but brick
of large size. Upon this foundation are
placed several inches of soil and on
top of this soil bluestone, which Is
ground Into the soil by mean of the
steam rollers. This makes a first class,
durable road that will keep in good
condition during all seasons of the
year. Over here most of the roads are
made by simply turning the turf and
grading. At least that Is how they Im
pressed me."
ture will not freeze. The cost of ap
plying la very small, as It is sprinkled
on like water. Tunt the method and
the mixture nre perfect successes has
been shown the past summer. Despite
the henry automobile and wagon traf
fic, the road is perfectly smooth and
very hard, and It has met the test In
every way.

NEW MODEL HIGHWAY.
HumrSslstown Pike, In Pennsylvania,
' an Example For Road Builders.
A modern road Is the Hummelstown
pike, near Harrisburg, Pa. It is made
of a 'mixture of water gas tar, ce
ment; liquid asphalthum, road oil, car
bolic disinfecting powder, sulphate of
copper and oil of wlntergreen. The
sulphate of copper Is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited, and
the wlntergreen counteracts the odor
of the others. There Is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect of the-mlxture is its disinfect
ing power. During the past year
there was not a single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost of ap
plying the mixture Is 5 cents a
square-yard. The cement holds the
dirt together like stone, and the oils
make it waterproof, so that it readily
sheds water. The road Is never mud
dy and. unlike a tar road, does not be
come slippery In winter time. Frost
has no effect on it at all, as the mlx-
UNIQUE GOOD ROADS MOVE.
Rural Carrier In Brenham, Tex., Forms
an Association.
William C unit's, carrier for rural
route No. 9. from ISmihnni, Tex., to
Independence, is a strong good roads
advocate and has some original ideas
about the best way to improve the
roads.
Some lime ago he started an inde
pendent movement to get the people
along his route to help him keep the
road in good condition and asked them
to form an organization, to be known
as the Good Itoads association of It.
V. D., No. 9, and to contribute monthly
(lues to such au organization to main
lain a team to work on this road, drag
ging it with a.split log drag or doing
such other work on it as could be done
by this team, he agreeing, without
compensation, to superintend the
work.
He sent out circulars to all the peo
ple along his route, setting forth his
plans, and asked tbem to Join the as
sociation. On one occasion he met a large num
ber that live along this route at Prai
rie Hill. The association was organ
ized, and Mr. Burnes was elected man
ager, secretary and treasurer and F.
W. Quebe and Carl Marcus directors.
English Highway Policy.
Two points In the recently proposed
British bill to provide for the economic
development of the United Kingdom
and the improvement of the roads
therein are worthy of notice in the
United States. The program of the
bill provides for special motor roads to
be exclusively or chiefly for the use of
motorcars, the road board having au
thority to Improve existing roads or to
construct new roads for that purpose.
The board may acquire land for this
purpose by right of eminent domain
and may also acquire land adjacent
thereto for a width 220 yards distant
from the middle of the road, which
land they may sell, lease or control, the
Increment therefrom being used for
the maintenance or construction of this
ilass of highways.
Some Good Roads Pointers.
Good roads mean as mucli as good
crops to the farmers.
If macadam roads are to be main
tained at their best, the sprinkling cart
is a dally necessity.
The longer the delay in building good
roads the greater the cost.
Until produce Is hauled to market It

When a Coin Tumi Green.
"I suppose you catch many fish that
are not good for food," remarked a
lawyer to a fisherman.
"Oh, yes." was (he reply. "Some
times I knows "em by right, sometimes
i don't. Of course when I recognize
the undesirable ones I throw 'em lmk
in the water or kill 'em. but when in
doubt I wait until I get home. Then I
dress 'em and put 'em In a 'spider.'

fire."
"What's the quarter for?"
"If (lie coin does not change color
the fish is good to eat. but If It turns
green the fish is poisonous and. of
course, unfit for food." New York

What Became of the Clermont?
The final whereabouts of the his
toric vessel remains a mystery. It
has been asserted (bat she was finally
transported as the Henrietta to the
Cape Kear river, North Carolina, where
Fulton himself as early as 1813 had
suggested the formation of a steam
navigation company. Another author
ity, Mr. J. Seymour Bullock, states
that the boat was broken up when fur

her antiquated shape and construction
unequal to the increased traffic upon
the river and" that the "ribs" of the

built monitors during the civil war.

Novelists and Love.
Charles Lever belled that novelists
should retire or at all events refrain
from writing love stories in due sea
sou, in his fifty-ninth year the author
of "Charles O'Malley" writes to his
publisher: "What you hint about a real
love story Is good, but don't forget
that Thackeray said that 'no old man
must prate about love.' I remember
the Duke of Wellington once saying to
me, referring to Warren's 'Ten Thou
sand a Year,' 'It is not that he never
bad ten thousand a year, but be never
knew a man who had.' As to writing
about love from memory. It is like
counting over the bauknotes of a bank
long broken. They remind you' of
money, it Is true, but they're only
waste paper, after all."-London Mall.
