Heavy Loads and Narrow Tires.

The Church road, running from Mer-
chantville to Colestown and Green Tree
or Evesboro, being short cut for farm
ers throughout the lower end of Bur,
lington county, N. j., is being badly
cut up, and it is not an uncommon
thing for load of five and even six
tons to be hauled over this road on 2 /!
inch tread wagon, load after load fol
lowing in the same ruts. 1t has been
found that those roads having the heav-
lest travel are rutted worst, while those
on which there is most light driving
are raveled most, the action of both
the foot of the horse and the light wheel
being to pick up the fine stone and scat,

saws Of the work done by the confer
ence:
The conference was very conservative
in its action and did not go beyond rec
ommending to the Legislatures OF the
several states the establishment of high
way commissions to consider what leg
islation and methods it might be wise
to adopt, and Il general recommendation
for the organization of road improve
ment associations and leagues OF IN
struc.ion in highway engineering, to-
gethcr with a limited adoption OF tho
state aid system. The general feeling,
/ however, appeared to be that the New
Jersey plan would be very strongly
commended by the delegates to their
respective legislatures during the COM
ing winter and that as many as posi-
BILE of those legislatures would be In
duced to send committees to New Jer-
scv, as was done by the New FORK state
J legislature last winter, to inspect the
state aid roads and consult with the
state authorities and citizens regarding;
that system.

NOW FOR AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

Now that the tariff question 10 prac.
tically oettlsd it is pleasant to hear al
ready notes OF business revival. 1t is
not a strained expectation to look for
great activity in the business centsrs Of
the whole country for some months to
come. Stocks OF all kinds OF manufac-
tured goods have run unusually low, and
now that manufacturers know what
they may expect, their plants willshort-
ly be started up in full feather. There
will be q great impetus to business OF
all kinds. Doubtless the banks will feel
the awakening impulse, and the i'm
msnse sums Of money which have been
held idle in the New York banks will
be put to legitimate earning purposes.
For months past the reserves in all the
eastern money centers have been far be.
yond the legal reserve. This has been
particularly the Gaze in New York and
Chicago. They will seek investm emit,
and there is certainly no more in
viting field in the United States
than Southern California, with Los
Angeles as the center of at.
traction. Even during the late de-
preston throughout the whole country.
which has lasted for more than fifteen
months, the Angel city has made I'M
interrupted progress, as has been shown
in striking manner by the statistics of
building, W hich have been unequalled in
ratio anywhere else on the continent.
The only dry year we have had since
1857 ia now happily over. All it's
evils have been discounted, AMI we
have every reason to expect season OF
plenteous Gownpours. Fortunately
whatever deficiency has existed in the
crops of the cereals during the past year
has been fer more than made up by q
splendid fruit crop. for which good
prices have been realized. Taking the
local situation for all in all. it would be
difficult to look for more encouraging
prospect than confronts the City Of the
Angels,
