The above article and caption is
the latest Oi several that have APP

papers in regard to Il resident III this
community. That they have been
instigated through malice an spite
is evident. both from Mrs. HOl1Orn' y
story and from information we have
RECEIVED in regard to this man Hol-
born.
Mrs. HOlbOrn was seen by a rep
resentative of the Transcript this
morning, and although not wishing
to figure in any newspaper discus

said something in her defense to
! refute the charges contained in these
articles Of which he IL supposed to he
!! the author. Mrs. HOlbOrn states
that she left her husband some time
ago on account Of brutal and in
human treatment, and that when
she left him it was with the desire Of
never seeing or living with him
again. At that time, she states that
HOlbOrn threatened that unless she
returned he would do everything in
his power to ruin her reputation,
and these articles ARE evidence that
he il trying to carry out his threats.
:gHOlborn began divorce prOceed-
ings several months ago. and Mrs.
HolbOrn states that she was con-
tent to let him Obtain it without Op-
position. but as he had made 80
many attacks against her character
she was compelled to bring Il counter
suit. and acting on the advice of
friends, included her claim for $4,000
alimony.
We have made inquiries in regard
to Holborn. and the best that could
be said about him. is that he is
engaged in the saloon business at
Redwood Falls, and is Il man of
considerable means, and that he is
encouraging the circulation of these

The lady in question, Mrs. Mamie

1t il generally accepted that good
roads have tho samo effect as shortening
tho distance 20 be travelled Therefore
tho man who has shortened tho distance
to his market has gained great advan-
sage Good roads mean quicker and
easier transportation and bigger haul.
They also mean n good deal more for So
,ial moral and financial reasons. They
also mean that tho farmer can come TO
town and get into quicker intercourse
and Interchange with men. Farmers can
visit each other, and there will be inter
course between communities conferred
In agricultural districts.
What is needed in roadbuilding is
lot more expense or going into details
and management, but an improved sys-
tenn. Highway building at present in
most sections Of the country Is Ill short
sections under men who arc not road
experts, who pass out from year to year
and give place 10 others They cannot
accomplish anything permanent 1t is
estimated that at least threo-quarters of
the money that has been expended i'll
working out taxes on roads has been
practically thrown away because the
people do not know how to build roads.
Careful estimates place the sum annual
" expended OH roads outside Of the
large cities at about $50, 600, 600, near
" $45 600, 900 of which is sunk in the
mud and dust, caused by inexperienced
roadbuilders. This enormous sum If
judiciously and wisely expended under
the supervision Of competent roadbuild-
ers would result in thousands of miles
of splendid roadways, which, once &C
quired, could easily be kept in repair-a
source Of pride and convenience TO the
fortunate community possessing its
share.
That this will be the ultimate result
Of the widespread desire for better high
ways there can be no doubt The whole
country is becoming aroused to the ne
cessity Of smooth and firm roads, which
may safely and easily be travelled at all
seasons of the year Farmers, wheel
men, merchants and mechanics are be-
ginning to sec that what is good for one
class of citizens cannot fail 10 be of ben
eft TO all a few years ago good roads
agitation was almost unknown. Now
one can hardly pick up a newspaper that
does not contain a report Of the meeting
of some good roads league or chronicle
the introduction of a bill for the i'm
provement Of highways in one Of the
state legislatures. This means some
thing. 1t means that we are TO have bet.
ter roads.
Many methods are discussed and tried
in various sections, usually with sue
cess as to expenditures and results, but
the main thing is that tho public is
alive to the situation and Is bound to
have good roads at the smallest cost,
and no matter what tho cost they will
be cheap in the end

roads is successful, and they are show
ing u deep interest in the question.
President Blackstock OF the Good Roads
league said recently: 1--WE do not de-
sire TO interfere with the wishes Of the
farmer on the subject. All we intend to
do is to encourage the building Of better
roads Let me give you an example: In
Sheboygan county we have - towns.
These towns have been spending on an
average SD, 600 year town on the
roads, or $40, 600 altogether. This has
been going on for at least 35 years,
showing the total expenditure by zach
town during that time has been some
thing like 800, 600. The mileage OF
each town is about 90 and nearly So,
600 mile has been spent. Yet they arc
