MONEY SAVED is MONEY MADE


Fort Worth Evening Mail: When the
people of Texas grow up to the idea that
good roads at any cost are the best in
vestmeut. they will have laws passed to
make the very best roads possible wher-
ever there is traffic or travel of any con-
siderable number of people. A compe-
tent engineer is our authority for the as
sertion that an ordinary team can haul
six times rs many pounds over a
smooth macadam road as over
the common country road,
full of holes and ruts, with steep grades
and sharp declines. If 4 farmer has
twenty bales of cotton to bring to market,
he could easily do il at three trips if he
had a good smooth road. He is III rare
good luck if he gets it TO market in
seven trips, with our roads rs they
are-and then he has to wait upon
the whim of the weather, for after
a rain he can't get to town at all e.
Any day during the cotton season one
may see q common two horse team haul
ing eight to ten bales of compressed cot
ton along the streets Of this city, without
any apparent effort. Three of those
bales would be heavy load for them
to bring to town from the farm .
There is no reason why the main
country roads should not be as good as
the streets of Fort Worth, if the people
viii pay to have them made so; and as Il
pure business proposition they can. well
afford TO pay well for such roads. Ten
dollars viii be saved for every one spent;
and money saved is money made. Give
us good roads. -.

MAKE THEM MONUMENTS I.

Temple Times: No doubt about the
black lands of Texas needing roads.
There are times when the highways are
practically impossible. There is but one
thing in the way, it takes money 10 get
good roads, and that little article is kept
very close TO home when the little jim
glers have once been captured. The
fears of the people are that it will not
pay, that it is simply luxury, and that
some one else viii travel the road oftener
than they The fact is that all of our
public work is done on the cheap plan. If
we would put up some of our work as sub
stantial as the road built by Appines
Caudius 300 B c., from Rome to Capua,
distance of l25 miles, which is still in
good condition, we would have less COM
plant about roads III the future. Our
shoddy work on public improvements Will
not only take all the spare money we
have, but will have the next generation
in as bad fix as we were at the start. A
man 5 private improvements are well
enough put up on the cheap order, but
his public efforts should be made to stand
the mutations of time.

A DISEASED MIND.
New York Salesman Shoots His Beautiful
Wife and Then Kills Himself-An
Orphan Baby Left.

New YORK, Dec. pa young sales
man in a New York house, named Henry
d. SHOEMAKER, shot his beautiful
young wife some time last night twice in
the head, once in the breast and then
killed himself instantly with q bullet
through the brain. She was taken to
the hospital in dying condition. The
two were found in their fat in Brooklyn
this noon i'll bed clasped in each
others arms covered with blood, she
still breathing and he dead. He was but
twenty-three years old, she year
younger, and they had fourteen
months-old baby who was away from the
house at the time. lie had just had his
salary raised. They were apparently
happy, and insanity seems the only ex-
PLANTATION of the deed. Colonel Johna-
than d. SchOonmaker, father of the
young man, received the first intimatiou
of the deed i'll the following note this
noon:
Mamma and Henry:
Come down soon, as soon as possible.
If you find the doors locked force the
front parlor door.
Signed HARRY.
This note had been left at the district
messengers office Saturday evening with
Instructions to deliver it at II o clock the
next morning. Instantly when the note
was received the members of the family
went to the fiat, where they saw what
was told above.
Colonel Schoonmaker said his son had

4 WACO PLAN .

Waco Day: The road problem still
continues to interest individuals and the
public. The latest is suggestion made
by gentleman in this city to pave the
roads through the black districts with
bales of straw or hay, laid as masons lay
bricks, breaking the joints and filling the
spaces between with earth. His plan is
first to grade q road-bed, say eighteen
feet or more in width, throwing it up III
the center with drains on
either side. On this rOad-bed
bales of straw or hay of the usual
size are to be laid, end to end, alternately
tapping or "breaking the joints, as
brick masons say, and keeping the entire
mass in place by banking up the edges
with solid dirt, supported also, if neces-
sary, by stakes driven into the ground or
through the bales in the outer rows.
This gentleman claims that hay or straw
thus applied will be practically imperish-
able, furnishing smooth, compact
surface for travel, and from its ex
treme porosity will act is drain for
all surface water at once. He says
further that roads can be surfaced III this
manner to depth of eighteen inches,
the road bed thrown up i'll the center to
sufficient heighth and shallow bitches
cut so as to carry Off rain water ut total
cost of no more than 81 900 q mile, even
if hay the more expensive material is
used, while with straw, which can be
had Tor the asking, the expense will be
considerably reduced. If it is true
that hay or straw thus used is prac
tically free from decay, the suggestion
made by this gentleman ought to be con-
sidered as possible solution OF the road
problem, and if believed to be feasible it
is certainly worthy OF trial, and piece
of bad road might he laid to test its
value. The first requisite i'll ell PROPOSE
tions to solve the road problem is cheap
ness, and the baled-hay plan has this
merit, besides others, and should, there
fore, be tested.
