Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the importance of good roads
In cities even the pavements of the
streets are better index to the popular
taste and to public spirit than are the
walls of public buildings. In the coun-
try roads are the measure of public and
private enterprise. They favor or hinder
intercourse according as they are good
or bad. and upon intercourse depends to
a large extent the intelligence and re-
hnement of people
The Romans knew well not only how
TO conquer, but how to civilize and gov
ern- They were the roadbuilders Of their
time. There are miles and miles of road
beds still in use in England that was laid
down seventeen or eighteen hundred
years ago In France they are older and
more extended Along these lines have
grown up some Of the largest and most
prosperous cities of the world. Throu9a
many centuries the thoroughfares fur
nished all the advantages Of navigable
waters
But the argument drawn from the profit
and loss account is the one most effective
in these days. and that is the one which
readers are likely to meet with pretty
often in our public prints Several esti-
mates made by experts upon economic
questions have been recently published.

Quiet Days at the Post-Fire on the Res
ervation.
These are the halcy0n days at the Pre-
sidO, since three-fourtbS of the soldiers sta
toned there are in camp at Monterey. Only
enough are left at the post to look after the
governmental buildings and property, and
they have been kept busy. Those who
thought that being left behind would insure
them good time have found out their mis-
take, and before their companions return
will heartily wish that they had been sent
to camp.
For week or more details of fifty have been
put out each day to burn the grass on that
part of the reservation Immediately south
of the barracks. In that part small frs are
planted and have reached height to make
themselves valuable, yet not high enough
to lift their branches above the flames Of
burning grass.
The details have been divided, part going
in advance and firing the grass and the re-
serve fighting the flames with gunny sacks
when the trees were threatened. In this
way large portion Of the reservation has
been cleared. Yesterday afternoon a few
hoodlums in an unburned portion of the
reservation started fire and Immediately it
spread ard thick volumes Of smoke were
waited toward the city.
The bugle called out every available man
for fire duty, each armed with sack. The
flames were fought for half hour before
the fire was thought to be under control,
when part were returned TO the barracks.
A later alarm, however, was necessary,
and another hour was spent in active field
work.

MISSION ROAD.

New Club VIII Be Formed of the Prop
erty-Holders on Tuesday.
A call was made for meeting last night OF the
property holders and citizens inter esled in the
widening of Mission road, from Twenty sixth
street to the county line. 10 be held at the Excel.
siOr Exchange, short distance beyond the Five
mile House. Partly owing to the short notice
given, and partly TO the fact that The location OF
the place of meeting was not distinctly set forth,
the attendance was very small.
Shortly before 8 O'Clock word was received
that William Sturke, President of the meeting,
was too III to attend, and the meeting was called
to order by z. A Dolan. Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Federation OF Improve
ment Clubs, and upon his motion L. HolsCler
was called TO tile chair as temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Doian then stated that IL is The intention
to organize the city into 176 Improvement dis
tricts and that at meeting OF the Federation,
which would be held at the Palace Hotel on
Wednesday evening next, 1t was expected that
some eight or ten new clubs would send repre-
sentatives. each club being entitled TO repre-
seDtatlon of five members. He said that IN view
of the fact that The telegraph company had
hauled poles and is preparing to put them IN
position on the old line. instead OF sixteen and
half feet in toward the line Of building. which Is
the extent 10 which the Mission-street road was
to be widened, II ever, he had calico upon Sup
erIntendent OF Streets Asbworth to ask him TO
put stop to the erection of the poles.
Mr. Ashworth said that he would be happy to
oblige Mr.. Dolan, but that he did not have the
authority to stop the work. MIR. Doan then
called upon Supervisor Bingham and representa-
the case 10 him, and that ge ntleman promised to
DO what he could. Upon riding over the proposed
line last night 1t was presumed that Mi. Bling
ham had effected the object sought, as there was
no new poles erected, although there are
number OF holes dug preparatory to putting
them in place and The poles are all on the
ground.
AS 1t was evident that no legitimate business
could be transacted, owing to The small attend
ance Mr.. Dolan mOve0 that the meeting adjourn
to meet again In the same hall on Tuesday night
al o'clock, at which time he as member OF
the Executive Committee of the Federation Of
Improvement Clubs, would be present and they
would then organize new club and elect dele
gates to attend the meeting at the Palace Hotel
on Wednesday night. This was carried and the
meeting adjourned.
