The Move For Better Highways.

Adequately to provide fertile country
with good roads 1t is necessary to have on
the average one mile of well-constructed
way TO each square mile of the area, says
Ha'per's Weekly. Constructed In the cheap.
| e-t possible manner consistent with a true
| economy, The cost Of giving these roads a
firm and en- turing surface, surh a. macad-
am affords, cannot be less than So 900 D r
mile. or about s. for each acre Of lard
which is thus fii nished with means of con :
mnnication. II Is therefore evident tia,
| any laundering in the effort to better our
roads may be not only costly 10 the com.
munities which are seeking improvement
In their highway systems bur NAV result
IN taxing rather than in helping the
farmers.
Therefore the first aud most immediate

Rail joints are costly parts Of a
railway track, much more costly than
any one una QuainLed w tn such mat
ters would Delieye. They are COM
paratively expensive to make. aud
their maintenance is a hard matter.
The rails now laid in tbs country
are generally thirty feet long, and If
this Length were increased the num-
Der OF Joints would naturally be de.
creased. But as there are disadvant
ages in the way of leng thening the
present rails, the matter has not at
tracted much attention until recent
", when eleven engineers Of national
reputation made report on the SUBJ
iect to General Manager st. John OF
the ROuk Island Road. The COM
nIlttee estimates approximately an
economy with 3S-foot rails OF e4O a
mile in the first cost OF joints and
50 d mile in maintenance and re-
neWals. With 6U-IOOt rails these hg-
ures become $40 aud S44 respective
L. The rolling mills do not appear
anxious to make rails over thirty feet
ia length, but the Nor. ok and West
ern road buys bO-fOOt lengths al an
increase OF but 81 ton. The spell
length most favored at present is 20
feet, of which about sixty miles are
now in use. Thlrty-three foot rails
are used on a part or the Pennsyl-
yanio lines west or Pittsburgh The
com mittee or engineers does not re-
gard the latter length with much
favor, however, for it recommends
that each road represented in the
General Managers Association lay
several miles OF 60-foOt rails and
watch them carefully, making proper
reports

HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 9.-JOhn N. Ra-

court commissioners Of the state Of Ne

ings by openly advising the farmers Of
Nebraska to refuse to pay cent of their
Indebtedness to parties in the east for a

Judge Raglan assigns the drouth and
total crop failure as the reason for this
remarkable advice. Mr.. Raglan was for
many years general attorney for the St
Joseph & Grand Island railroad When
the PopulisE craze swept over Nebraska
a few years ago. Raglan forgot his cor
poratiOn training and Joined the new
party. The last session of the legisla-
ture created a supreme court commission
of three members, one from each politi-
cal party, TO assist the supreme court in
disposing Of the large number Of accu-

expressions finding their way into the
opinions of the supreme court

fell during the early part of the week

sections. while elsewhere that cereal
was damaged to some extent by wind
and hail. but generally speaking it
Is improving.
