COST OF BAD ROADS.
Estimates Show That 5000. zoo, 900 a Year
Might BE Saved.

Estimates Show That S6OO,OOO,OOO Year
Might BE Saved.
The Office of road inquiry of the de-
partment of agriculture has completed
an interesting investigation relating
to the common roads of the United
States. Returns have been received
from 1900 counties, showing the aver
age length of haul from farm to mar
Lets or shipping points to be IL miles,
the average weight of load for two
horses 1000 pounds, the average cost
per ton per mile 25 cents, and So for the
entire haul. Estimating the farm prod
ucts at 219, s24,227 tons in weight and
making estimates on other articles car
ried over the public roads, it is calcu-
Lated that the aggregate expense of
this transportation in the United
States is 1916, Sos per annum.
Reports have been asked from the
United States consuls abroad of the ex-
pense of hauling where the roads are
good, SO as to render possible a calcu-
lation which will show how much of
this vast outlay is due to bad roads.
The estimate is ventured, however,
that, counting the loss of time in reach
ing markets, the enforced idleness and
wear and tear to the live stock and
hauling machinery caused by poor
roads, two-thirds of the cost might
be saved by an improvement of the
roads.

present commander in chief of Great
Dritain's armies, was winning his
spurs" on the northwestern frontier.
He was assigned the task of putting
down the first Riel rebellion, or rather
war of defense, of 1s69-7O, and the set
tiers here point to the slowly rotting
boats as an evidence that he did not
find il quite so much of pastime as
he anticipated.
He started at Ottawa, passed through
the American canal at st Ste. Marie
and then put up the Ma.awan river in
these bateaux, passing into Mile Lac
lake (Lale of the Thousand Lakes).
Here the soldierly trials of the future
chief of Britain's hosts began, for the
men, according to the traditions which
here survive, were compelled to tramp
the old Dawson road" skirting the
Savanna river, and tow the heavy boats,
loaded with provisions and " impede
ments of war;
On reaching this point they were
forced to abandon the bateaux for the
still greater hardships of canoes and
portage.
After leaving this place the course
of their campaign was into the Lake of
the Wood, down Winnipeg river INTO
the lake of that name, and up the Red
river to its confluence with the ASSN
niboine river, where stood old Fort
Garry, the seat of the Metis govern
ment. Sir Garnet's rotting boats,
each of which was large enough to have
held q hundred men, are all that is eft
TO tell the tale of the somewhat inglor-
ious expedition; but the sigh. of them
has inspired many a vengefu al look in
the eyes of the wandering Metis. Old
Manitoges, now gone to the happy
hunting grounds, was the last survivor
of the half-breeds who remem bered the
expedition. The Des Champs, who
boast direct strain Of blood from the
ST. Simons of France, are the present
leaders of the Metis in this section.
True to their Indian nature, they lead
n rowing life and range the entire coun-
try from Long lake to Rainy lake.
The student of human nature will be
amply repaid for the pains of
visit to this remote place by
making the acquaintance of old
Allan Grant. the keeper of the
railway station and the head man
of the colony of ~ or 10 people. Not
in the streets of Inverness or on the
heather-grown highlands of Scotia is
there a purer .jpe of the old fashioned
Scotchman than Allan Grant-and he
has perfect companion in his matron-
ly wife, who once rejoiced in the name
of MacNab. This quaint old couple
and their buxom daughter appear to
have strayed from ont the lines of

1t required a half hour TO unravel the

trived to knot the traces.
Again we started on and all went wei

Minister whites Story of a Chance Meet
ing with "A Former New Yorker.
The American can always be trusted
TO make his way, no matter what may
ne his environments. story told by
Andrew ID. White, ex-minister to Ger
many and Russia, illustrates this fact.
MIR. White stated that once when he
was at Berlin, after all the diplomatic
corps had been duly presented to his
wife, the Chinese minister, in pursu-
ance to custom, brought round his
principal secretaries and presented
them to his colleagues. Among these
was tall, fine-looking man, evidently
European, dressed in a superb court
costume and GOV red with gold lace.
As his Chinese colleague introduced
him to Mr.. White in German, the con-
versation was continued in that Ian
cuage, when suddenly this splendidly
dressed parsonage said in English:
"Nr. White, do not see why we should
be talking in German. | come from
Waterloo, in western New York, and L
was educated at Rochester university
under your frined, DIR. Anderson" Mr..
White said that had the gentleman
dropped through the ceiling it would
not have seemed more surprising, and
that il was hard to believe that tahe
pretty little village of Waterloo, or
even Rochester, with all the added pow
er of this noble university, should
have been able to develop creature
so gorgeous. 1t turned out thal the
gentleman concerned, aftel grao uat-
ing at the University of Rochester,
had gone to China with certain m s.
sionaries, had then been taken into the
Chinese service and had proved TO be
thoroughly intelligent, patriotic man,
faithful to his duties to China, as well
as to the United States.-Troy On. W

road in repair is not nearly so great as
the expense of rebuilding a road that
neglect has allowed to sink into state
of decay.
The poplars along these Fren roads
are trimmed to a certain height so that
sun and air can dry the surface, which
is high in the center, thus allowing wa
ter TO flow off at once, after shower.
This is then conducted by channels cut
through the turf at each side, into the
deep bitches outside of the row of
trees at the side of the roadway.
All in all the French roadways have
much to recommend them to the care

much interested in the subject of i'm
proving our highways.-Good Roads.
