Careful Estimate Places the Annual Loss
In Wisconsin at $4,000, OOO-Other States
Are NJ Better OF-The Way Out of the
Difficulty.
The enormous amount of money
which is annually wasted because of
poor roads is not appreciated by the
farmers as class, because they have
not given the matter serious considera-
ton. Mr.. Otto Dorner, secretary Of the
Wisconsin State League For Good Roads,
calls attention to this phase of the road
question and states that it costs the
farmers of Wisconsin SIS, $50, 900 year
for marketing their wheat, corn and
oats and says that two-thirds of this
sum, or SIS, 500, 900, could be saved ON
the transportation of grain alone if the
state were supplied with good roads. A
writer in The Farm News, taking Mr..
Dorner's figures as a basis, shows the
loss to the dairy and other interests from
the same cause. He says:
This is very large amount Of money
to waste every year, and we would sup
pose that it ought to have power to agi-
tate every one who is in any way in
volved. Indeed it seems so large that
some one might imagine that Mr.. Dor
ner must have made some mistake But
this gentleman is no doubt perfectly &C
curate and within the limits of the ac-
tual loss to the state, because he has not
calculated the loss on general market
ing, when the farmer must pass so many
times over bad roads or not market at
all many of the products of his farm.
Besides he has not taken into the ac-
count the time and labor wasted by the
farmers family i'll doing the necessary
shopping in the towns, so that while the
amount of waste seems large it is GER
tainly not beyond the real loss. Let us
now see how it is lost 1t does not go
from the farmers pocket directly in
money, but in the end it is loss of
money value.
Mr.. Dorner supposes that it now
takes So to market each ton of the three
grains, corn, oats and wheat, and that
there are raised of these grains in Wis
consin 2, $50, 600 tons. This gives the
amount IS, $50, 900. He then supposes
that if there were good roads through
out the state the marketing could be
done at 81 peg ton. This would amount

Capt. ! A. Mellon this week re- ceiyed the signatures of every busi- ness man in ma to petition to the mi se cf customs at the city of Mexico, praying for the establishment of a custom house on the line between Mexico and Arizona at the Colorado river. If the custom house is estab- lished, Luis Martinez, of Guaymas, will put a line of steamers on the Gulf to connect with the Colorado Steam Navigation Co.'S boats in fur nishing supplies to mines at the head of the Gulf and along the Colorado river Mining interests in that sec tlon are at present receiving consider able attention and a number of camps only need better facilities for obtain- ing supplies to make them good pro- ducers of the precious metals. A GUS tom house on the line will also estim- ulate trade between Yuma and the city of Guaymas. Captain Mellon in vestIgated the matter while in Mex ico two weeks ago aud feels confident that his petition will be received fa- vorably by the Mexican authorities.

The Naessarl Railway.

The rumbling of railroad rumors is still heard, and the building of the road from Bisbee to Nacosari being uppermost every move made by the company Is regarded as prima facie evidence that the date for the com mencement of building is not very distant.
 The fact that carload after carload Of railroad ties estimated thus far about fifty-and still arriving daily; also some fifteen carloads of tie plates and and paraphernalia necessary to laying track already received, and room being prepared to receive more material would indicate that business Is meant.
 alt Is understood that the company are also to change their rails on the present road and put in heavier ones on account of increased traffic aud much of the material now arriving is to be used for that purpose. Should the track from Fairbanks to Benson be torn up, as lntimated some time since, the material will undoubtedly be put to use ln the construction of the road to Nacosari.
 But little Is being said by the pro- moters Of the enterprise but the fact that the company is financially able to easily carry out the undertaking; having already secured the conces- sions, rights of way and, and surveys, and the additional evidence that con- str,iction material is daily arriving it wouldcertaiuly impress one ferclbly that arrangements are at least well under way. We hope Co be able to chronicle the commeucemenl of work shortly Prospeetar
