AID TO GOOD ROADS.

The house committee on agriculture is to be congratulated upon its decision ito report favorably the bill creating a special commission on highways to consist of the chief engineer of the army, ithe director of the geological and the chief of road inquiry of the department of agriculture. The great merritt of this bill should carry it congress and we are confident
Arizona republican., 1896-04-14

it will not fail toIreceive 'the approval of the president
 The subject of good roads has never received the public attention or scien- titic study that it is receiving today. In every state of the Union discussion is being supplemented by liberal ap preparations. The significance of the progress made within recent years, and the still greater progress which we be- Eeve the future will show, is enor nous. To agriculture it means, be- tween farm and market, not only an lnestimable saving in time, but great saving in wear and tear on horsefesh and vehicles of transportation. This alone must represent millions an- nually. The work of the geological survey will save other millions by solv- ing the problem of the best and most durable materials for use in the con suruct:on of highways on the public domain. The representation of the army On the commission will interest itself largely in the creation of such roads as will be bea. adapted to the handling of large military bodies with least fatigue and embarrassment. Thus will science, proceeding under the direction of the federal govern ment, aid in the National defense and in the fostering of agricultural indus try, while furthering the interests of pleasure driving and of the host of Wheelmen who now form so large a percentage of the country's population.
 With such a commission, supple menting the efforts of ithe various states, we should have in the course of time, system of highways second to none possessed by any nation on earth representing in construction, a net profit of many more millions in bene- fit to the people. The model high way is what we seek, and we are seek ing it just now in the right way

REID IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. The Climate Has Been Putting For
 ward It's Worst.

Tucson Star: MT. and Mrs. White law Reid were given a reception from 4 o'clock until yesterday afternoon at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Her bert Brown, by Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Chas. R. Drake.
 MT. and Mrs. Reid had just returned from a "trip ito 'dhe Oracle. The recep- tion was largely attended and was made an unusually pleasant incident in the entertainment of the distinguished visitors. There was music by Monti- jos orchestra and Mrs Crumb sang in her usual happy manner. Altogether the ladies of Tucson demonstrated, as they have frequently done before, their superiority as entertainers.
 There had been considerable appre- hension concerning the impression MT. Reid had gained of Tucson weathe which has been putting tits worst foot foremost in his honor. His "trip to the Oracle had been made through clouds of dust and in a wind, the breath Of a resurreeted winter. The return trip yesterday was even worse. There had been no more disagreeable weather since the winter rains. MT. Reid said, however, that he thad enjoyed the journey and undergone no discomfort He had spent many a worse day on 'the Riviera. But yesterday should be al lowed no credit by comparison. It had been as bad as it could be at this sea- son.
 MT. and Mrs. Reid will leave today
