Shall We Build a Road.

From the Chilllcothe Daily Tribune.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: After much labor
and trouble, our doctors of the law
came to the solemn conclusion that if
the bridge and bottom road project
brought forth anything, it would only
be a mouse. So, the whole thing has
gone up in very thin mist.

TIE RESULTS.

Were this road built, it would proba-
bly, result in causing the Utica bridge
to be moved up to the Walnut ford,
thus giving the people of the lower por-
ton OF the forks of the river nearly il
not quite an air line to the county seat.
And the Jimtown bridge would proba-
bly, be removed to the old Herriford
ferry, giving the people of the southeast
portion of the county a most direct
route to their county seat, with only
about u miles of bottom to travel.
In time, the Air Line and Utica roads
would be bought out and made free
county roads.
Weekly Chillicothe crisis., 1885-07-23

A few words in regard to distance.
Look at the map, you will see that a
farmer coming to town from the Kin
caid road, by the present route has to
travel II miles east before he gets to
the bridge; as the Kincaid road is di-
rectly south of Chillicothe, he must
travel back the same distance, which
gives him q miles extra travel in COM
ing to,or going home from Chillicothe,
or extra miles travel for each round

may leave the country Of which it is
the money bnt It cannot remain away,
because having no value a' commod-

having its own measure which would
not be affected by the measure of other
nations, could then exchange produc-

WOULD IT PAY?

Would this proposed Air Line road
pay as an investment?
Let us figure on that u little. The
interest on $50, 900 at ten per cent is
$4,000. The cost OF toll gate and keep
er, and one man to keep road in good
condition, would not exceed S400 per
annum. Allow for extra work $500.
We have q total of 500.
We will estimate the average passing
over the road ut - teams at % cents
for the round trip. This makes IS per
day or $1,000 per year, Ten single
buggies at 10 cents the round trip gives
Sl.j0 per day and $j47j0 per year. so
head of horses, cattle and mules at 5
cents per mile for each 20 head, will
give us $2l0; making 4 grand total of
S3,7j7.jO income per year, not counting
the footmcn, sheep and hogs that would
pass. can hardly suppose any far
mer would drive his fat cattle two miles
farther to save Il small amount of
toll,
In making these figures, I have put
the rates below what the law allows.
OF course these figures are all approxi-
mate, but | think below what the actu-
al receipts would be, and | am sure
have put the cost Of construction high,
as wages are low at this time.
THE BENEFITS.
One thing is certain. If we get any
benefit from this road this year there
is no time to lose. Another fact is pat
ent to all, Ii we expect to save Chilli
oothe from being depopulated, road
has got to be built, aFd built soon.
Ask Kcntuckian Or an Ohioan what
has made their land worth three or
four times what our lands are worth
and they will tell You it is their good
roads.
But say you: "My land is worth as
much rs care to have it worth to pay
taxes on That may be so, but when
your children have to divide it among
themselves, they prefer to have it sell
for $50 per acre rather than $l5 or
so.

A Fair Question.

II is estimated that in the various
states of the Union there are at present
not less than $1,000 iron workers
thrown ont OF employment by the ditl-
ercnt strikes This number i, greater
than at any previous time for twenty
five years. Where are those good times
promised rs under democratic admin
istration?-L.oHlrdrNa .Nomior.
The above is u fair question well and
fairly put. VIII some democratic jour
nal please to answeri,2
There can be no good times 50 long
a' the treasury hoard at Washington
continues to increase. TO have good
times men must do business and EN-
ploy labor. Men cannot do business
and employ labor with decreasing
volume Of money, producing falling
prices Of all the product, Of Labor.
The monthly statements Of payments
of the national debt are false There
has nothing been paid on the interest
bearing debt since last November.
Mr. Manning locks up another ten mil
hons in the treasury, and then forth
with publishes, Ten millions paid on
the national debt in Junp!'
Now will some democrat tell lis why
payments are not made on the nation
a debt, and why the treasury hoared
of half a billion dollars is not paid out,
SO that the people may have more
money to use and less interest TO pay?

The white House Kitchen. Its Personnel
aud the Way Thing. Arc Done Ii It.
Washington Post
In the basement of the White House.
on the north side, are situated the
kitchen, laundry and bed rooms of the
president S household. A French cook
presides in the kitchen, and all his sur.
roundings are as neat as could be imag-
ined. There was not a speck of dirt
visible when a Post reporter went
through the room one day last week,
and the chef, as he delights to be called,
was anxious to point u all the details
Of his department.
Very little trouble has been expert
enced under the change of administra-
ton, and the president has not mani
tested any disapproval of the delicate
dishes prepared for him by the cook of
his predecessor. Including the steward
there are four servants in the employ Of
the president, and when there is a rush
in the laundry the woman in charge has
authority TO employ assistants. II
would be difficult 10 find brighter tins or
cleaner china than there are on the
shelves OF the White House, and the
floors in the easements are bleached
white from the constant applications OF
soap and sand.
Tho kitchen is in the northwest angle
Of the White House. under the vesti-
bule, and the sleeping rooms are ada.
cent, facing north. They are not gen
orally occupied, for the help at the
White House have the privilege of 60
ing home Mt night, and only on rare oc-
casions do they use their rooms. The
steward and his assistants in waiting
upon the president and his guests al
ways wear swallow-tail coats, black
trousers and white vests, and every
thing must be scrupulously clean about
n waiter before he is allowed to go into
the private dining room. As fast as a
course IS ready for the table it is sent
up from the kitchen on a dumb waiter,
which is in n recess back of the ante-
on the right Of the principal en-
trance TO the White House.
On state occasions, or for a large
reception, the corps Of assistants to the
cook is increased, and men cooks are al
ways emplo ed. There is plenty OF
room Mt the large range for all, and
there is no confusion, no matter what
the demand may be. A oolored man
is steward of the White House at n
salary Of 81, 800 per annlm, and the
cook is paid a similar amount. The
other seryants are paid at the rate Of
s1.25 a day, and all the help are colorel
persons, eyen 10 the boy who dusts and
sweeps the parlors.
