On the Subject OF Roads.

The public roads of a district show the
spirit and enterprise of the people in the
district to a certain extent, and all Will
admit that good public roads add to the
value Of the land as much, if not more,
than anything of equal cost A bad road
means small load with great wear and
tear to wagon and team, and bad roads are
the complaint generally. Why? First,
they are badly drained and not enough
work done on them; second, there is but
little thought given to making roads, and
the work is often done late in the fall
third, men pillow and scrape more than there
is any need of, and make a narrow, poor
road when they get through. 1t is cheaper
TO make a good wide road when the land
will permit, than a narrow one, from the
fact that in making wide one YOU simply
bring the dirt from the bitches upon the
road bed, which should never be piowed up
or disturbed. A public road should be 80
feet from outside to outside of bitches,
highest in the center, and curying gradually
to the outside of the bitches. The road
bed that is the part between the inside OF
the ditches) should be % feet wide. The
bitches should be feet wide and one foot
deep on the outside, and deeper, if neces-
sary, with sufficient grade to draw OFF the
water, otherwise there will be a bad, mud
dy road. Now with such a road the bed IS
solid, and me soil scraped on top will soon
pack and become hard. There is no danger
in being tipped over, and travel is not
obliged to follow in a single rut rs 1t must
in narrow road. Dry roads mean good
bitches. To fill up mud holes without
draining is simply putting i'll more dirt to
make more mud.

detailed how he happened to fall over the

through. The scattering returns show
that the Republican manufacturers have
voted their employees pretty soiidly Re
publican. according to arrangements. This
is particularly indicated by the result in
South Bend, where the Democrats have
lost heavily. and the county of St. Joseph,
which usually gives small Democratic
majority, has been turned over to the Re-
publicans by $50 plurality. The Republi-
cans appear to have made considerable Of
their gains in the counties on the northern
border. Only one precinct in this congress

bricks and Mr.. English, within the hour,
it was impossible to get them to give an
opinion on the result. Senator Mcdonald
says that Landers will probably be elected
by greatly reduced majority. The sec
retary of the Democratic committee calls
attention to the fact that the strong DEM
ocratic counties are not heard from and
claims that the later returns are
showing smaller average Of Repub-
lican gains. He comedies that the
returns now indicate Republican
plurality in the state Of from 1900 to
4,0GO, but insists with Senator Mcdonald
that it Will be impossible to return such
majorities from the river counties as will
defeat Landers unless by fraud, and every

Porter, the Republican candidate for gov

some minutes before the extent of the
disaster was appreciated, and then the
work of rescuing the unfortunate men
began. It was found that some had saved
themselves by cl:nging to the portion
which had not fallen. Fire Marshal Will
