THEY have a wooden pavement war in
Washington. Congress at the last session pass
ed law authorizing the paving of Streets and
in some localities there is a sharp competition
among the. friends of wood, stone and other
sorts. The residents of Twelfth and Four
teenth streets held large meeting last week
to oppose wooden pavements and the ring.
All wooden paveIents were opposed on the
ground that they were unhealthy, expensive
and not durable. Gen. A. Grant, agent for a
certain kind of wood pavement, said all other
kinds but his were failures. There was gener-
al expression in favor of well kept gravel
streets, and finally the meeting agreed upon a
protest against wood pavements.
THE ATTITUDE OF RUssIA.-The news from
Europe Monday is such as to leave but little
hope for peace tor some time, as it sets forth
that Russia, tired of her long inactivity is
about to stretch forth her avaricious hand for
the conquest of Turkey. special despatch
says that Russia claims violation of the trea-
ty of 1856 Oy Turkey, because of the consolida-
tion of the Roumanian Provinces, and because
the Turkish government permitted its war ves-
sells to enter the Black Sea. The despatch in
Inmates that Russia's designs are also directed
towards Austria and that German interference
is guarded against by secret treaty between
Prussia and Russia, by which the former binds
itself not to interfere in the Turkish affair in
consideration of Russia's holding aloof from
the Franco Prussiau complication.

As the county of Cumberland represents
an agricultural population, the table shows
that we have some of the best farms N the
State. Several towns have increased their
wealth by this branch of business to
wonderful degree. The cities and
towns in this county which have had the
direct advantage of railroad facilities are
thirteen in number and are represented in the
recent valuation by estates valued at S43-
S69 914. The twelve towns which are not
accommodated with railroad advantages have
valuation Of $5,072, 4OS. The former (rail-
road towns) would give to each poll $751;
Wine The other towns show an average in
individual wealth of $1l19. In other
words, the average individual wealth of
the railroad towns is nearly three to
one compared with those towns which
have not yet been visited by the iron horse.
This disparity is partly attributable to the
lack of railroad facilities which the Portland
and Ogdensburg, the Bridgton Branch-and
the continuation of the Maine Central
through Gray &C., will remedy during the
next decade.
1t is quite remarkable that the railroad
towns have increased in value since 1910,
from S7,5225 $50 to $36, 1884, while the other
towns have only increased from $2,429s43 to
$5072,40S. We think that our railroads.
which the legislator of 1920 knew but little
about, has largely contributed to bring about
the result.
