rraveIinr ln the WEST.

DEAR HERALp AS some of my friends
would like to know my impression of the
West. concluded to write to them through
the HERALD
I arrived here on the 22d, having left
home on the 10th of June, at 3 p. m. The
journey was hot all along ana has not cool
ed of any since We are here. The mercury
stands daily at about lO0s As far back as
1912 / visited St. Louis and you may i'm
agine the great change since then. Rail
roads were scarce then. If you wanted to
90 west then the best available means was
by water I took a steamer at Pittsburgh
and was nearly two weeks on the way, but
as was in no hurry then found il very
pleasant way to travel and it only cost ten
dollars fare, and boarding found. The city
only had about 1900 inhabitants, and to-
day they are not satisfied with the enHmer-
alton at about AS, ,000 Now, East ST. Louis,
Just across the river in Illinois, has pop
uiation larger than the old city had at that
time. found my daughter Annie WELL
living with her husband, J y. Lewis, and
two children, at Clifton Heights, a suburb
Of St Louis We took the Missouri Pacific
accommodation at the Union depot and rode
about 6 miles 70 Clifton Heights, where we
have been resting since. We have been
kept pretty close to the house here on ae-
count Of heat, which is greater than it has
been for years.
The city has two large parks, visited
them both but did not stay long in either
The Shaw Park was the gift of Mr. Shaw
who became rich by the rise of property
and who spent years Of his life in gathering
every variety Of tree, plant and shrub he
could get hold Of during his travels and
having them transplanted in his park. He
also had botanical garden, walled around
with high stone wall, which he filled with
flowers, plants and exotics, and at his death
gave them all to the city, with an income Of
S25 0OC yearly to keep it up ! also went to
see Forest Park, large and beautiful plat
Of ground laid out ard kept up by the city.
This park, however, is much newer than
the other but has extensive roadways for
dding and driving, and ceol, shady grounds
for picnics and private parties, which are
much used By the denizens Of the city prop
er, as they can be reached by electric cars at
cents fare.
Hound few old citizens Of Somerset here.
Among them, Mrs. Rebecca Cuddy, nee For
ward, James o. Carson and wife, nee Barbara
Bruce friends Of half century ago. who
seemed to be living and enjoying green old
age with their children James o. Carson
and family are living in General Sherman's
house, on Carlson avenue. This is the
house given to the General by the citizens
OF St Louis in appreciation Of his valuable
services during the latecivil war. DR.. Bruce
carson is the host. The Doctor is a prOmi-
nent physician in 81. Louis. On the whole
ST. Louis il a great and growing city, and is
bound always to hold commanding posi-
ton among the cities of this great Nation.
Farewell for this time,
JOHN J. SHELL.

The county commissioners awarded the
contract for the building Of four iron bridges
10 the Groton Bridge Company, Of Groion
\. y. at a meeting of the board to-day. The
first is for a G0-foot span across Cox's creek
at Bakers crossing, in Black township the
second a 4i-foot span over Roaring Fork
creek. in Paint township the third 81
foot span over Flaugherty creek. in Green
vile towsship the fourth q 45-foot span
over Flangherty creek, in summit town
ship. The 6roton company was the lowest
bidder their bid being si.778 for the four
bridges. which sum Is sG6 less than the bids
submitted by builders Of wooden bridges.
Taxpayers can find no fault with this action
on the part Of the commissioners.
When a new bridge has been completed
and accepted by the county, il then becomes
the property Of the township or borough
in which il Is located, and it is the duty Of
supervisors aud street commissioners 10 see
that IL is kept in proper repair This
fact does not seem TO he generally under
stood or we are confident that the hundred
substantial county bridges would not be
permitted TO rot away without receiving an
occasional coat Of paint.

secured a mask, which covered the upper

The Way They Make Roads In Jep-

For the benefit of our farmers, as well as
Others who are interested in bettering the
public highways of this Commonwealth, we
submit the following item, taken from a New
York exchange This State evidently can
learn a valuable lesson in roadmaking from
New Jersey. In the northern part of our
neighboring commonwealth g systematic
method Of mending the roads has taken the
place Of theold plan still in vogue in New
York. By which the farmers unite to 7" work
out their road tax their work consisting
in ploughing up the soil on either side OF
the highway, /" saraping " the loose earth
upon the roadway, and letting II lie there 70
be Ieveled down as best it can BY passing
wheels and the hoofs Of horses In the por
ton OF New Jereey referred to the work is
intrusted TO men who devote their entire at
teution 10 il and it is asserted that in Sus-
sex county one man, with wheelbarrow,
can take care of seven miles of road The
conditions there are exceptionally favorable,
but il is easy to see that good deal might
be accomplished in this way. even in coun-
tries where sand predominates. When q
road has once been put in good condition, q
little care will keep it 50, That little care
IS In most cases the one thing necessary.
