DIRT ROADS A FAILURE.
Their Yielding Surface p Source of An
noyance and Expense.

The good roads cause is making
.plend'd progress in the west, as evil
denced by the amount Of space devoted
to 1t by the press. The River Falls,
wis Times strikes the keynote when
1t says the best roads cost the least mon-
ey. The Times says:
Since the beginning of civilization in
this country the road question has been
one of great thought and deliberation.
The yielding soil and the rainfall are
the two great enemies of good roads, and
not until the influences Of these two
annoying impedimcnts can be over
come can we expect to be relieved of
the ever present bad condition of the
roads
We were asked the other day how
good roads can be maintained so long as
the ram continues to wash and despOil
them In reply we said: There Is but
one course TO pursue. There is but one
way that promises fair or just returns fer
the money expended. We must do in
the west az they do III the east--we
must build permanent stone roads. -
Plan rs we viii, study the problem
as W. may. cXpend money and labor.
and still we can never have good roads
under the pre sent system.
Dirt roads have proved failure
wherever tried. At best they are I'M
satisfactory, Their yiclding surface is
unfavorable to heavy hauling, and the
mud, ruts and washouts accompanying
the WIT season make them ever the
source of annoyance and expense. But
with permanent roads the question of
cost springs to the front. Taxpayers
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1896-10-15

would hold their breath in awe at the
very idea of being taxed from 81, 600 to
81 600 per mile for laying macadam
road.
However, in the east they think moth
ing of laying just such expensive roads
and are willing to be taxed for their
building. There are two great reasons
for this: First, with the building of
stone roads, they have permanent, hard,
smooth, surfaces and comparatively
level roads all the year round on which
they can drive at will, by day Or by
night, and under all conditions of
weather The roads there are the same
yesterday, today and tomorrow. They
have been tested by long use and have
been found great blessing to the coun-
try and render the farmers independ-
ent carriers and bring them nearer to
the markets and social centers.
But there is another reason, of less
Importance, yet of greater weight, with
the eastern people in bonding them
selves for the building Of these roads.
By careful comparison and long expert
ence they have found that the macadam
or stone roads are cheaper than the old
dirt roads
Human nature is the same the world
over, and seltishness abounds there man
is found. The eastern people are no ex-
ception to the rule They are selfish,
money making and penurious, so to
speak more so than they are in
the we-t-and here i. where the &c
cret lie. They bond Themselves for
macadsmizing all the main roads at
cost Of from 81, 600 30 a 600 per mile,
because they have learned by experience
that this system OF road building Is the
cheapest in rho end

Mrs. Elsie l.. Jordan, who has been

SUN OF money, as a token OF their
friendship and appreciation of her SER
vices. Such expressions OF love and re-
gard go far to make life pleasant and its

The Giant of HOLSTERS.

The largest lobster ever canght in
America was taken by Belfast, Me-,
fisherman in 1891. IT weighed twenty
three pounds and measured thirty-seven
inches from he end of its tail to the tip OF
the long front claws. The monster was
too large to enter common lobster trap,
but as the trap was being drawn up it was
caught in the netting and safely landed.
Many years ago lobster weighing
twenty-five pounds was captured near
the same place.
