RIVER MATTERS. = The u. S.
Supreme Court has decided that
the owners of the towboat Alarm
are entitled to damages from the
owners of the railroad bridge over
the Ohio River at this place for
three barges of coal which struck
one OF the bridge piers and were
sunk about ten years ago.
Capt VIM Stone desires us to
state to the travelling public that he
now has his Kanawha float ready
aud will ferry from the Kanawha
side to the Ohio side from this date.
Captain A J. Brinker, who has
been running as captain on a cot
ton boat in the South, returned to
his home at Apple Grove last week.
In the early ifties, the steamboats,
were the glory of the Ohio River.
There were a dozen splendid crafts
running from Pittsburg to Louis
willie. They were palatial in ele
gance and size. No such boats
since those days. We remember
the Crystal Palace was the grandest,
and the Buckeye State was the
fastest The latter's famous trip
from Cincinnati to Pittsburg was
made in 43 hours and IL minutes.
The Falls City and Virginia were
noted for having three decks. Then
travel on the river was exciting and
luxurious, and there never was,
since the dawn of creation, such
meals as these boats served their
passengers. 1t was the golden age
of the river towns, and it fingers
now as an brides cent dream-a rosy
sunset melting into gloom.-Ironton

The question, Why is a news
paper like a pretty girl2 is very
nicely answered by an exchange:
To be perfect. it must be the en-
bodiment of many types; its form is
made up; it is chased though inclin-
ed to be giddy; it enjoys a good
press, the more rapid the better, it
has weakness for gossip; talks a
good deal; can stand more praise,
and is awful proud of a new dress.
1t cannot be kept in good humor
without cash. Please pay up.

Bad roads represent an actual
money value taken from the people;
tax to which all have grown ac-
customed. Farmers are constantly
in need of the use of highways to
transport their produce to market
and to move themselves from place
to place. If the farmer would COM
pute the saving he and his neigh
Dor would have by reason of first
class roadways he would discover
that it would amount to more than
the expense of putting them in
good condition and keeping them
SO. The county commissioners are
for the most part well intentioned,
without doubt, but do not work
with reference to any general plan,
and therefore render their own eff.
forts futile by lack of knowledge on
the subject. Good roads cannot be
made without putting three things
into them-good material, brains
and money. Without good material,
brains and money are helpless; with
good material and no brains the
money spent is wasted, and if you
have the material and brains and
no money you can accomplish
nothing.

The feeling at Missoula against Carliu

which the following was adopted:
That we condemn the abandonment

while we have dealt with the latter in no

that it was our duty and not their priv

ment IL Giving Good Results.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The investi-
cation of road management and good
construction throughout the United
States, now conducted by the agricul-
tural department. is meeting with val
liable results. The cooperation of the
governor and secret;sry and geologist OF
each state in the Union, of railroad Off
Gals and of other persons, has been OBJ
tanned and they show warm interest
in the work.
Many members of congress also have
responded to circulars sent out by AS
sistant Secretary Willets and General
Roy Stone, the special agent in charge
Of the inquiry. State geologists
are beginning to supply informa-
ton and so railroad companies
have sent in reports of the engineers or
other employees. This information is
being tabulated, and when all has been
received the Office will prepare map
showing the location and cost of the best
road materials throughout the country.
A bulletin outlining the new road

dations made by influential public
bodies. not vt carried into legislation.
has been completed, and soon will he
issued. The advance in road legisla-
ton, the bulletin says, proceeds on 10
distinct lines.
More rigid provisions for operating the
old systems without radical change OF
systems themselves, more liberal tax
levies, substitution of money levies III
place of labor; local assessment accord
ing to benefits for construction OF new
roads; construction by townships with
power to issue bonds; construction by
counties, state highway commissions,
provisions for working convicts; direct
ing of state roads.
Expert Stone in his bulletin says:
1.-The new law of Tennessee is consid-
cred the best example Of the first class,
giving the county courts full power and
direct control over the whole subject of
roads, eliminating the evil influences Of
local politics, and the generally prevail
ing easy going methods. The court class
lies the roads and appoints commission
ers and assesses the road taxes.
Vermont, New Hampshire, North
Dakota and Oregon are deemed conspic-
uous examples of the class Of increased
tax levies, the last named allowing
county courts to levy special tax of 50
cents on the 800, and So per head for a
county road fund.
