r thersiasnything which concerns

Ga o double distances, and . good road
IL unquestiouahly agrsst boon. The
farmer undesirable veil enough the
cost Of transportation when becomes
70 deal directly with railroads andhas
10 pay che. money out OF his pocket;
but he does not always consider that
important part which consists in
transporting his products By wagon
from ha farm to the. nearest market
or shipping point. This is by no
means an uncomfortable item in the
cost. The farmer who has to haul
his producafor any distance over bad
roads in bad weather loses much
more in the wear and breakage Of his
vehicles, the injury to. his stock, the
loss of time and the increased amount
Of labor made necessary, than would
be bis share of sufficient increase OF
taxes tO.pus bis highways in perfect
condition. Good roads mean for him
better facilities for market, increased
value of his product and of his farm,
less labor and worry, and more leis-
ure and contentment.
We are glad to see an awakening Of
interest in this important subject,
and We hope to see geodreauits from
it, even thought may cost something
to get good roads.

nucleus for a town. and the agricul-

This section Of. country is rich in
fine timber, and along the route, I
noticed several little s1umber roads"
o., spurs of the main line, that run
out into the thick forests four or
five miles, and for half a mile on each
side of these "lumber roads," the
trees have been. cut out, and sawed
into lumber, which is piled along the
line Of the main road awaiting ship
ment to market.
The forests of the Northwest, not

Of their trees, and the merchant lum-
