The Rural World has paid and is
paying considerable attention to the
improvement of town and country
roads, for the simple reason that it is
one of the arts of the producer to secure
the best and cheapest means Of getting
his produce to market. The city mer-
chant studies the matter of cheap and
cheaper transportation every week of
his life. To him it is a small matter as
compared to its effect upon the farmer,
because the one has railroad transpOrta-
ton all the time, and, in majority OF
cases, competitive lines, while the
farmer has nothing of the kind until
he has hauled his produce over the
country roads. Billions Of dollar:
have been spent upon railroads where
thousands have been expended OF
country roads. 1t is only few weeks
since a proposition to bond this county
for road construction failed to receive
the requisite majority at the polls
The HERALD opposed the proposition
for reasons which were clearly outlined
at the time, but it is none the less al
ardent advocate of such improvements
under restrictions properly guarding
the expenditure Of the peoples money
We hope the road question will ente
into the political campaign this year t
the extent that no man will be nom
mated for the legislature by eithe
party who will not pledge himself
use his influence to secure the enac
ment of such a road law as will con
bine the best features Of such simili
laws as are in force in the states whic
have the best country roads, such, fC
instance, as they have in Californ

The Author of "self Help."

MANY who have read DR.. Samuel
Smiles "Self Help" will be surprised to
know that the brave, gentle author is
vet alive, at the age of eighty, working
away as though he expected TO live
eighty years more and fill each day with
some good achievement. The old gen
tleman lives near London. His hair and
beard are white, but he is as vigorous
and rosy as a man twenty years younger
His old age is graceful and beautiful.
self Help" has been one of the most
successful books ever printed. 1t has
been translated into as many languages
as Mrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms Cabin"
DR.. Smiles was the friend of Garibaldi,
and in an address voted to him in Italy
two years ago it was said that DR..
Smiles "Self Help" had done more to
make Italy than Cavour or Garibaldi
ever did, which was probably pardon
able extravaganza of statement on the
part of enthusiastic Italians. King Hum
bert invested the old man with the cross
of Cavalier of St. Maurice, and the
French minister to Italy declared he
had educated his children by having
them begin with reading self Help"
| Hundreds of thousands of copies have
been bought by readers, yet the volume
still has a ready sale, like Shakespeare
and the dictionary. But DR.. Smiles had
been writing twenty years before he had
any success at all, and the strangest part
of it is, that he could scarcely find a
publisher for self Help" at first. DR..
Smiles said to correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press;
The first publisher to whom 1 submitted the
work sent me word, after time, TO come anu
take it away. He said there was no earthly
use in publishing it, as people wouldn't READ
it, | finally got Mr.. Murray, Of Abemarl'
street to issue it. He allowed me two-thirdi
OF the profits Probably he never though
that there would be any. Well, that booi
was an instant success and my reputation wa
established. Not long after l met at Dime
the publisher who had refused the book. IN
9 success Of the work was discussed and tn
| publisher said to me that, while other house
3 were well enough, his was the one to push
, hook "Why Mr.. -" | said, don't 20
know | brought Self Help to you and 20
would not touch it," You don't mean TO sa
\ that our house had the offer Of Self Helpr
'sTbatis lust what mean and can show 20
the letter in which you refused it."
He has been a great worker, but say
, he has never overworked. He believe
that young people have far better oppo
I tunity for success than they did whe
d he was young. 1t is odd to meet a ma
II who remembers the battle of WaterlC
, and can recall a time when there wei

The dispute as to when the present
Chinese exclusion act expires by limi-
tation arises out of the fact that two
such acts were passed, the original ex-
clusion act of 1889, and an act amer da-
tory thereof in 1884. Both contempla-
ted exclusion for a ten-years' term, but
opinions differ as to whether this term
began with the date of the act of 1882
or with that of the act of 1884. Sena
tor Dolph holds the former opinion
Senotor Teller the latter. If Senator
Dolph be right, the exclusion act will
cease to operate and the Chinese ma!
come in after May 6.

"ALEs WE'LL THAT ENDS WELL

Only a few weeks ago the Washing
ton Cedar Shingle Co., backed by
abundant capital, made an earnest eff
fort to secure a site in this city for the
location of its extensive plant. The eff
fort proved fruitless. A choice site was
secured i'm New Whatcom and the mill
is now in operation there, affording
employment to fifty men, or enough to
furnish support for at least 800 people
The enterprise will doubtless prove pro-
fitable and permanent and it is but ma
tural that business men and others
here should regret more or less keenly
that it was virtually driven from us by
the restrictions imposed by the railroad
company which controls nearly all the
desirable sites for manufactures in this
city. But if the company has Other
and greater schemes in view which
will necessitate the utilization Of thu
site so much desired by MIR. Mundy
the wisdom of its restrictions or virtua
refusal will yet be conceded by thos
whose disappointment now cause
them to cry out against the power
that hold the towns salvation in tn
hollows of their hands. Ordinary bus
uess discretion demands that the con
pany keep its own counsels in respe'
to its plans. The jealous care wit
which its possessions here are guarde
indicates that they are highly valued

Sometime before the recent advan-
tangeous bond sale was effected, but af-
ter bids had been called for, Mayor Nc
Kenzie received letters from several
bond buyers advising that no further
effort be made at the present time to
place the bonds on the market. In a
very disinterested way, Of course, the
opinion was expressed that if the bonds
were sold they would have to be sacri.
feed at considerably less than par
But the advice was not taken. The
bluff didn't work. The bonds were
sold, not below par, but at one-fourth
of one per cent premium. After pay
ing all bills for printing and Autograph
ing, the city will get over $4,000 In

he said.

A writer in an agricultural paper rec
ommends farmers generally to go to
raising beets. 1t will be a good change,
and they will realize at the present low
price of sugar at least thirty-fve dollars
to the acre clear profit, which, if he
raised fifteen tons of beets to the acre,
would give the farmer 1888 to the ton.
Then the romancer proceeds with Sc
ductive pen to follow the ton of beets
from the time the hayseed dumps it at
the factory till it comes out best granu-
lated, five cents pound. The second
profit made on the ton of beets will be
ten dollars 1t goes into the manu-
facturers pocket.
This figuring is the interesting part of
the story. The farmer who certainly
does not jump into the business of beet
raising after he reads it will certainly
be ungrateful to the statistician. Beet
raising is lot of fun. 1t breaks mans
back, stoops his shoulders, dirties his
clothes and wears them out as nothing
else does. Then the diggingl Set the
