Its Public Roads.
About two years ago we furnished
Travis county, Tex, with complete
outfit Tor stone acknowledgements,
engine and roller They had previous
ly been using our road-grading ma
chimes, and we present herewith an IL
lustration showing the kind of roads
that county is now building. An ar
ticle by John c. Edgar, of Duval, Travis
county, Tex, may no doubt be Of in
terest to our readers, as it shows how
it was possible for Travis COUNTY to Sc
cure better condition Of public high
ways.
Mr., Edgar, in commenting upon the
road situation in Travis county, saysi
"While it is true that our road and
bridge FUNDS will not permit of any ex-
tensive system of road-maxing, It'll pos
sible to do great deal more than is at
tempted Many have been deferred from
doing anything by not knowing any
fear of banlIrupting the county That
feeling seems to nave prevailed in this
(Travis) county from time immemorial
until the election of our present judge
and board of commissioners about a
year ago.
''Thc majority of that body happened
to be broad-gauged, progressive men,
who recognized their responsibilities
and determined to give the people all
the relief within their power Wha,

Three and half miles west OF
Aldie, Loudoun county, Va, is the To-
caly famous "black swamp" and n
strange story has been current there
abouts for the better part Of this CEN
fury. Jesse McVeigh lived long agoin
an old stone house on the edge of the
swamp, and there came to him once n
stranger asking shelter. The stranger
was taken in and he lived there for
five years. He never went beyond the
pond for exercise, and he took elaborate
precautions at night to guard against
surprise. When he died stranger from
neighboring village came and claimed
the body, protesting to recognize the
dead man as an acquaintance The
stranger who claimed the body was
the dead mans son, and he afterward
became chief justice of the United
States supreme court. The man, a
wealthy and educated Marylander, but
man of ungovernablc temper, had
slain a guest at his own table by
breaking his skull with a decanter.
The homicide's place of hiding was
hardly more than fifty miles from the
scene of his crime.

"A maritime velocipede is the latest

Anselmo Santa Maria, has constructed
n yelocipede destined to run in water
in the same manner as it would be used
on land The new velocipede was on
exhibition at Valparaiso, and the first
experiment was made in the bay Of
that seaport ut the end of December in
the presence of large number of peo-
pie, The machine was started from

and laying the foundation of a grand
system of county roads. may state
that this county is about two-thirds
black prairie and the balance mountain
land. The black land furnishes good
dry weather road, but bad and often
impossible one in wet weather. The
mountain roads are rough but never
closed to travel, and do not give the
travellers much trouble. Road improve
ment is, therefore, confined to our black
mud lanes. For some years the county
has owned o number Of scrapers, mule
teams, plows, etc, which were used for
road purposes, but the controlling pow
err seemed content to do small repairs
and had no plan of road-making.
Now, we have good grading ma
chine, drawn by twelve mules, which
excavates the soil on the sides and
dumps it in the middle of the road,
leaving good bitches y We have
also got stone crushing machine,
driven by steam power, for converting
rock into road metal.
"Our mountain formation is lime
stone, well adapted for road material
in this climate, where we never have
frost to swell and h,ave as in more
northern climates There is
plenty of good material being used, in
deed more than plenty, in fact more
than double the amount necessary.
Our roads are being covered with
crushed stone to depth of twelve to
eighteen inches, according to the vary
ing formation of the surface This is
not thoroughness, but waste. Macad-
am rarely put down coat of material
thicker than six or eight inches, the
exception being the near approach to
large cites, where the traffic was con-
tinuous and heavy If six
inches of road metal ever made good
and durable road, it would do so where
they are now depositing eighteen
inches.
"That is where the waste comes. BY
this management we are now getting
but one mile of road where we should
have two and half, and that of a bet
ter quality The chief item OF
cost where convict labor and steam
crushers are used is for hauling. Our
farmers are arranging to do this volun.
tarily by weekly turns. y n II
seems to me if the farmers in our
black land counties would unite in this
matter and press it upon their county
representatives, instead of clamoring
and demanding impossible concessions
from paternal government, they
would be doing more to improve theil
condition and advance the prosperity
of their class"
Any comment on the foregoing
seems to us to be unnecessary. II
shows conclusively that the work o.
improving American roads is much
harder in contemplation than in reali
cation; and, although necessarily {
work of considerable magnitude, i
must be apparent to the thoughtful
mind that the same character of ener
gy, persistence and intelligence which
has produced such stupendous results
in the development of other branches
of our internal improvements, mus
eventually give to this country con
dition of public highways which will
more fittingly represent its advanced
civilization. Good Roads
