National and State Aid for Good Roads.
Written for The Beae0n


1t may be taken for granted that every
body would rather use good roads than
poor ones. All want good roads. What
are the principal difficulties in the way of
obtaining them? Are the obstacles mainly
technical or financial? 1t is true that few
people know how to build good 70 DIS, but
the necessary skill could soon be gained
by sufficient number of supervisors and
directors in all sections
The financial difficulty is much greater
than the mechanical one. How to raise
the ways and means without over burden
ing our already heavily taxed communities
is the greater obstacle. Can it be over.
Gomez Itmust be if the work is to 60 on.
Good roads are for all time. Future
generations are to be benefited by them as
well as our own and they should help bear
the expense. II must be 80 arranged or
the great work cannot go on. The i'm
mense cost of really good roads must not
be imposed entirely npon those now living;
it would be gross injustice even if it were
practicable.
Skilled supervision and labor being
available, how then shall ways and means
be established to meet the enormous cost |?
How else than by the cooperation of the
States and the nation?
The national government can raise loans
at much lower rate of interest than
States, cities or counties. Why should it
not be empowered TO raise loans for the
proper construction Of roads and TO advance
to the several States sums as they might be
prepared to expend iudiciously, taking as
security the guarantee of the borrowing
States? Such loans should run for long
periods at low rates of interest so as to add
but lightly to present rates of taxation.
Main roads could be speedily built, and
immediate benefits follow Ample provis.
ion could be made for the re- payment of
loalB TO the General Government so it
could meet with no loss. The borrowing
section would be greatly enriched and their
inhabitants would find the slightly increas.
ed taxation of little consequence in view Of
the benefits derived.
The foregoing is a mere outline. Let US
have the suggestions of others A. P. d.

The Bees, and shortest Route.

II cannot be disputed that the best
and shortest route from Chicago to
San francisco is via White Pine, Nye
and Esmeralda counties, Nevada. A
railroad that would traverse the coun-
ties above named from east to west
would soon prove veritable bonanza
for the owners of the line. There are
many valuable mines and fertile
agricultural land in White Pine, Nye
and Esmeralda counties, and trans
continental railroad would be the
means of making this part OF Nevada
one of the most productive and rich
est sections in the United States OF
America. The projectors OF the new
railroad should not overlook this Sec
tion of our State.--Belmont Courier.

peared in last Sunday weeks s. F.
Chronicle:
Lampoc, March 26.-On Wednes-
day morning about 4 o'clock two
masked men entered Hong Wah's
wash-house in Lompoc, robbed Hong
Wah and shot and killed Chinese
cook named Lee. The Chinese said
the men were white and so perfectly
described them that party went out
after the murderers, and on Thursday
morning the officers in pursuit caught
two suspicious-looking men near Cav
iota landing and brought them to town
Friday noon.
One Of the Chinese who had been
robbed Immediately identified the
men arrested as the murderers.
Later Bert Campbell confessed to a
knowledge of the robbery and the
shooting, but he says Toney George
did both. The examination is in pro-
gress and what it may develop is I'M
certain. Campbell says he is from
Eureka, New, where his father A. w.
Campbell, is in business. Campbell
says Toney George makes specially
of robbing Chinese.

WORLDS FAIR BUILDING IN pIY0BR

Chicago Oct. GA FIRE started might In the
main dome OF Machinery Hall. It was caused BY
i've Goals from timers furnace. which had been
left upon the roof. The fire, which was confined to
the roof, burned for over an hour. but because Of
the small amount Of woodwork IN the building the
damage was not great as It might have been
under other circumstances score or more OF
fires started In different parts Of the city. Should
fire start and get any Roadway there is no telling
where 1t would stop, as the hurricane now blowing
would probably render the work OF the fremen In
effective. Telegraphc advices from many points In
the North and Northwest indicate that regular gale
Is blowing, the wind In some places reaching the
velocity OF sixty miles an hour.
