The cities and the Road Tax,

Complaint Is entered against the
proposition to tax the cities Of the com
monwealth for road Improvement. 1t
does seem hard that the cities and
towns, which are taxed for the improve
ment of their streets, should also be
called on to pay for working the roads
OF the commonwealth. And vet we be-
lieve that they would get far more than
value received for the money thus ex-
pended.
In the first place there would be an
increase in what is known as the wagon
trade from the country. More farmers
would visit the cities aud towns, bring
ing their PRODUCES with them and trad
Ing them directly and indirectly for
merchandise, which they would take
HON as a return load.
More than that. we may say in gen.
eral way that road Improvement will
benefit the county, and tina. whatever
benefits the country will benefit the
cities and towns
For all that. however, we have no
idea that the cities and towns would
submit willingly to this tax as proposed,
but we do believe that If it should be
specifically provided that the tax
gathered from each city and town be
expended on some road or roads leadin
into the city or town SO taxed, the
proposition would be more favorably re.
ceived.
Law or no law, we are OF opinion that
most of the cities Of the commonweal tn
would meet HALFWAY any proposition
from contiguous counties to i'm prove the
highways loading thereto.
We have before said, in writing on
this subject, that co-opera ton between
the cities and the counties was the
surest way to better roads. Suppose
Richmond and Henrico should build a
good road to the Hanover line Is it
not probable that Hanover would build
1t on to Caroline and Caroline TO King
George? We do not mean, of course,
to indicate route, but to suggest in
general way that If the cities and
contiguous counties will begin to build
good roads, the work will, In all prob
ability. be extended by other counties.
We would love to see the experiment
tried.-Richmond State.

STOLE LOGS FROM THE RIVER.
Oshkosh Lumbermen to Prosecute
Parties at Fremont

Oshkosh Lumbermen to Prosecute
Parties at Fremont.
Weyauwega, Wis, Feb 22-For sew
eral years Oshkosh lumbermen have been
troubled by parties taking logs from the
Wolf river belonging to them, but in
former years, when logs were worth less
than they are now not much attention
was paid to this class of losses. During
the past two or three years and particu-
larly during the past year, when logs
were being run down the river that cost
the parties nearly $50 per 1000 at the
place of banking, more attention has
been paid to log stealing and the Osh-
kosh lumbermen pooled and hired detec-
tlves for the purpose of bringing the log
thieves to justice. At Fremont several
parties have taken logs from the river
and sold them to various parties, who
hauled the logs to a small mill in the
town of Fremont, about five miles from
the river, where the logs were sawed.
The detectives secured enough evidence
to warrant consulting S. W. HOLSTER,
president of the Boom company of Osh-
kosh, and one Of the principal losers of
logs and that gentleman came to this
place yesterday and proceeded to the
town of Fremont. He succeeded in eff
fectlnS a settlement with two parties,
who had accepted stolen logs.
