IMPROVE THE ROADS.

The subject of good country
roads is now more prominently
before the public than at any
time perhaps since the settlement
Of the country. Only the other
day one Of the leading New York
periodicals contained a long and
we'll written illustrated article on
the building OF macadamized and
similar roads. Since that a public
meeting at Syracuse was addressed
by well-infOrmed gentlemen who
had prepared able papers on the
subject Of improved country roads
in general. Books and papers on
the construction and mainte-
nance Of roads are finding readers
everywhere.
The prime cause Of this awaken
ing in the interest Of country roads
is the multiplication of railroads.
Wherever they 60, good country
roads are more essential than ever
before, for the railroads must have
freight and passengers, and the
better the other roads the larger
the quantities of freight and the
greater the number Of passengers
TO be had. 1t costs no more, and
possibly not as much, for a vehi-
Gle to haul a large load on a good
road than a small load on a bad
road.
Another and strong impetus is
the low price Of passenger vehicles.
They are now within the reach of
everybody, and a vehicle is of no
value to its owner without a road
upon which to use it. The in
crease in better qualities of wear
ing apparel and the consequent
need Of protection from horseback
conveyance requires vehicles and
they IN turn require better roads.
The spread of that little Won
der, the bicycle, into all sections
Of the country, and its increasing
popularity afford additional de-
mand for good roads.
The scriptures say "by their
fruits We shall know Them" and,
paraphrasing, Mr.. Watterson used
to say in his lecture on the "Com-
icalities, Whimsicalities and Real
tiles Of Southern Life" .by their
jokes We shall knew them.n 1t
would be equally as true to say
"by their roads We shall know
them" a country with good
roads is a good country, and
country with bad roads is, to put
1t mildly, not a good country in
which to live. Life is too precious
to be wasted on mean roads.

IT'S NOT TRUE.

The land owners i'm Madison county,
through which the r. n 1. q b. rail-
road has been located are fighting I'M
der difficulties. The Richmond papers
are arrayed on the side Of the railroad
against its own citizens, and are at
tempting tC influence the people to give
the right Of way for the railroad, IA
low as possible. We are much surpris-
ed that these excellent papers take the
side Of a corporation against their own
people Winchester Sun.
For a beginner, the editor of the
Winchester Sun is as profound a
fabricatOr as any within our knowl-
edge. THE CLIMAX has not
said one word for or against
either side in any of the
condemnation proceedings. But
The CLIMAX did publish the awards
of the Clark county juries in the
X. L. cases, which certainly put a
high figure on lands. When some
parties concerned in the railroad
here asked if we could not as well
omit such things, we answered that
we were running a newspaper
not a railroad paper.
The r. n. l. & B. and the Con-
tract Company are made up in
great part Of Madison county gen
tlemen. We have not therefore
had anything to say between them
and the land owners, both parties
being our neighbOrs and friends.
We are for the road, but for the
land owners as well. The law is
plain and fair on the point Of
damages. 1t places the matter,
first in the hands Of Commission
ers, and, second, in the hands of a
jury, when there is objection to
the award of the Commissioners.
It does seem to US that the County
Judge with twelve good citizens
ought to decide the matter Justly.
If not, there are the higher Courts.
Just why the Sun should state
that we are "arrayed on the side
Of the railroad against our own
citizens" when "Our own citizens
are on both sides, and we have not
said a word one way or the other,
Is something we cannot under
stOnd."

Seen in Dream.

In 1868, Lizzie NJ Trask, of Vienna,
Me-, was dressmaking in Lewiston. She
came into possession of gold twenty five
cent piece with a hole in it. This she
showed as a curiosity to her friends. At
that time she had a little niece years
old, daughter Of Jonathan P. Trask, now
the wife of Leman Butler, trader in Mt.
Vernon. The little coin Lizzie once
showed to her niece Addie when she was
a very small girl, telling her chat she
would give it to her when she was old
enough to take care of it. Lizzie died
twelve years ago. In her possession was
a lady's wallet with several compart-
ments. This wallet her mother used until
her death, seven years ago.
Then James, a brother of Lizzie, had
it, and it has been in constant use almost
daily ever since, either by him or his
wife. The little gold coin was never seen
after Lizzie's death or before for several
years by her friends, and its whereabouts
was not known, and, in fact, its existence
had passed from their memory. A few
days ago Mrs. Butler made her parents a
visit, stopping with them several nights.
While there she dreamed that she saw
her Aunt Lizzie's wallet, and that it was
faced with green, and in a certain COM
partment she found the little gold coin
which she saw so many years ago. On
telling her mother her dream she was in-
formed that Lizzie did have a wallet
which answered her description, and
that her Uncle James had it. The wallet
Addie had never seen. She then visited
her uncle and told her dream to her
aunt, who laughed at the idea of any
thing being in it other than what she
and her husband had placed there. But
at Adde'S earnest solicitation she pro-
duced it, and as soon as Addie saw it she
exclaimed: "That is the same wallet
that saw in my dream~ and pointed
out the compartment that held the treas
Ure. She then took a needle, and, run
ming it to the bottom, she drew forth a
newspaper, and in it was, indeed, gold
quarter with a hole in it, wrapped, no
doubt, by the hand of her aunt at least
twelve years before, where it had lain
all this time, without the knowledge of
any one, until Adde'S dream caused it
to be brought forth.-Augusta (Me.) Age.

provements. In few days active
work will begin towards erecting several
fine dwellings. Several prominent gem

Two railroads are now headed for

make the Real Estate market in North
Dalles lots lively.
You will never again get lots as cheap
as you can for the next few days, for the
demands and the company will advance
them soon. We would like to see every
one of our citizens make money in lots
at North Dalles.
Many letters continue to arrive from
the Sound making inquiries and in most
cases purchasing.
We confidently expect to see not less
than fifty houses underway by the be-

Pennsylvania stogies.

Their origin is worth recording. 1t
appears that in the old days the drivers
of the Conestoga wagons, SO common
years ago on our national pike. used to
buy very cheap cigars. To meet this
demand small cigar manufacturer in
Washington, Pa, whose name is lost to
fame, started in to make cheap ''ro1
up" for them at four for cent. These
became very popular with the drivers
and were at first called Conestoga cigars,
since, by usage, corrupted into ''stogies''
and ''tobies." 1t is now estimated that
Pennsylvania and West Virginia pro-
duce about 200,000,0OO stogies yearly,
probably all for home consumption

An Ugly Habit.

Iwonder what saccharine or succulent

that so many persons cling so persistently
to those unlovely little instruments long
after they have performed the service for
which they were designed. On any ele-
waited railway train one is sure to see one
or two men with toothpicks protruding
from their lips, as if to advertise to the
world a recent breakfast. Not all of
those who make this exhibition are i'll
dressed or boorish, and one is left to con-
lecture in vain why a particularly private
portion of the toilet is thus thrust upon
public attention.-New York Star.

Ambulatory Rails.

A st. Louis civil engineer says the
rails on the St. Louis bridge were never
stationary. but constantly crept to the
east; that is, in the direction of the
heaviest travel The rate of progress,
he said. was about 26O feet in the year,
or would be if the rails were permitted
to creep as they pleased, which, of course,
they are not permitted to do.
1t reminded him of hill in southwest
Missouri, over which a turnpike road
was constructed, and, do what they
would, the people could not keep the
road up and down the sides of that hill
in good condition. The stones would
creep to the bottom, and in six months
the road would be as bad as ever. They
finally had to take up the gravel and
macadam and replace them with good
sized blocks of rough stone.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
