The iNOKTll-WESTENN LINE.
Z. st. p. N. Il .. Ry., has recently
issued 4 new circular of instructions
to agents, conductors and trainmen
generally, requiring passt ngers to pur-
chase tickets before entering traius, ut
all stations where tickets are Oh sale.
No'person will be permitted to board
train without u ticket or other proper
transportation. One of the main Oh
]rcts sought to be gained under. the
now rule, is that proper statistics may
be gathered showing the actual busi-
ness done at each station. Stations
are opened and agents placed in charge
for the purpose Of selling tickets ard
furnishing all possible cc"m,no ida, ions
to the travelling public, and it is hoped
that the patrons of the line will assist
the company in enforcing the new rnl.
Ticket offices will he open at least 80
minutes, day and night, prior to de-
partnre Of each train carrying passen-
gers during the hours designated by
the Division Superintendent.

wo'k k to raise money enough to pay
taxes this spring, and some Of those il,
debt cannot pay their yearly interest,
Merchants are also hard pressed. and
have large accounts on their books,
which, although good, can not be paid
until roads are put in condition., 50
farmers can get to market aud sell
their accumulated produce.
The roads III East Berne and vicin-
ity are simply indescribable. They
are now beginning to mend, but for
the past month they have been almost
impossible, and for farmers to a.
tempt to carry load has been entire
ly out of the question. Nothing but
absolute necessity will induce farmer
to 60 to Albany with a load of pro-
duce, and then he finds that 600 or 500
pounds make a heavier burden for his
team than 2, 400 would with the roads
in ordinary condition. The effect tells
seriously on our local merchants. The
business 1T the grist mill suffers be-
cause farmers, rather than draw their
grain to mill through, the deep mud,
prefer to feed it to their stock whole.
The lumber business has been affected
to q greater extent than any other.
The winter season is the time when
farmers draw logs to the saw mill to
have them sawed into fencing material
and for repairing their buildings. This
winter they had been waiting for snow
and better roads, until the time has ar
rived when other duties upon the farm
require their attention.
The cause Of this terrible condition
OF the roads is easy OF explanation,
for the past two mouths there has not
been frost enough in the ground to
form u bottom. and the constant trav-
el with frequent rains. has worked the
rOadbrd Into mortar, and in many
places the ruts are hub deep.
Nothing like it was ever experienced
in that vicinity before. There never
has been Il season on record when the
roads have been bad for 80 long q per-
i0d as they have the present season.
Tie roads smear Central Bridge have
been almost impossible all winter. 50
much so that trade has been affected
to a great extent. Much of the pro-
duce that has always been bought here
has been sold for less in places near
production. For the past three days,
however, they have improved. =,

The roads were never in worse con-

away The worst road for the Clarks-
Vile farmers is the Delaware turnpike,
From tile bridge over the Normanskili
to the pavement Of Delaware avenue,
near Bender's brickyard, it has been
impassahIe II numb@r of times. The
roads have been worse for the last two
years Than before, owing 10 the large
amount OF rain that has fallen duriug
that time. The roads in the vicinity
or Larwick Seminary, for the first time
~ many months, are assuming a pass
able condition.
The past winter, which has been one
totally unlike any previous in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants. has
also been remarkable for the bad con-
dition Of the roads. In the villages of
Milford and CoopertOwn the roads in
the main streets have been in a terri
ble condition. and merchants have at
tributed the depression Of business in
no small degree to this. With the
pleasant weather of the past few days
the roads are gradually growing
smooth. and. though still having many
deep ruts, farmers are travelling much
more. Every year the fact is being
more clearly shown that aome more ef-
fective methods must abes adopted to
secure better roads in 66r country dis
tricts.' -
From twenty seven of our states
came at that time reports which,
without exception described the pub.
lie roads to be in a condition not un-
like those of Albany County. From
one of the wealtbiest and most popu-
lous western states, a state full Of re-
sources and endless possibilities for
the farmer, came photograph, taken
on an important country road leading
into one of the great cities. l might

of Minnesota. which will I've of interest

The touch Of winter that has made

Ubet News-Railroad Prospects.

Ed Brassey returned from Ubet Tuesday.
where he spent a couple of days. He saws
the people OF that locality are somewhat
excited over railroad prospects. Mr.. Bras
sey says so far as he can learn the Wyo-
ming & Montana road is to be built as
soon AS possible. Final survey has been
made past TIBET, and the preliminary sur
vey as far north as Utica. MIR. Brassey
says it is the intention of the road to con-
meet with the Great Northern branch at or
near Neihart. the surveyors
having taken the grade at the gap high
enough to make the connection. The road
as surveyed passes through the gap about
a mile west of the hotel at Ubet, thence
along the foot hills of the Belt mountains,
passing through the center of Jackson's
sheep ranch on West Buffalo creek, thence
direct to Utica. Mr.. Brassey also heard
that there WAS another surveying party
near the gap. which is supposed to repre-
sent the Northern Pacific. The presence OF
surveyors has stimulated the taking up
and fencing of land until the country along
these proposed lines looks like an eastern
farming district.
Mr.. Brassey says Mrs. Alice Barrows has
made great improvements in the Ubet
hotel, having raised the upper story, lathed
and plastered the building throughout, pat
on an iron roof. and built an addition in
the rear 1896. Mrs. Barrows is setting
an excellent table.
p. Yegen & Co.. the enterprising mer.
chants, have completed an addition to
their store building at Ubet, making the
whole structure about 25x75 feet. They
are now stocking up with a full line of gen
eral merchandise to meet the demands OF
their growing trade. Mr.. Fred Inabnit is
the gentIemaniy and popular manager of
the business at this place.
