HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.
Methods That Are Sure to BE Changed
for the Better.
Otto Dorner.

Otto Dorner.
1t was the late United States Senator
Angus Cameron, of Wisconsin. who, in
talking with newspaper friend a few
months before his death, made the remark
that 1.-The most unaccountable thing TO me
is the tenacity with which the public sticks
TO old methods in so important matter
as highway improvements. They make and
repair roads precisely as they did when 1
was boy, back in New York, over sixty
years go. When / think of the advance
made in all directions during that time /
am lost in wonder / see body of men
killing time under shade tree and calling
it paying their road tax. Such sights were
familiar to me over sixty years ago. /
saw precisely the same thing not ten miles
from my home last summer"
The veteran statesman, during the con-
versation, spoke hopefully of the future.
He thought the turn of the roads for better
was not far off. THE much-talked about
loss from bad roads will reach the parties
most interested in time, and then look out
for a road revolution. / would like TO live
TO see il.
There is food fer reflection in what SEN
ator Cameron said Think of the railroads
and their trains as they were in this coun-
grading, rickety cars, slow-going engines.
Then think of the advances made by the
railroad people. The contrast provokes a
smile, but adds TO our pride in and love for
America.
Look at the class of road vehicles they
had when Senator Cameron was boy; and
then at those of the present day. There
has been no standing still with them. Com
pare the household adornments and fur
nishings of the present with those of sixty
years ago. Compare the tin bake oven
with the convenient modern range. 1t was
a long step from the former TO the latter
Except here and there the tin bake oven
road has not given place to the modern
range road. Compare their methods OF
making cloth with present methods Recall
the dismal blows of the fail and imagine its
looks and work as you see steam thresheI

threshing was done by the fail. but a bet

Road making and repairing are sure tc

Death OF A. ID. FavilIe.

1t will be remembered that DR.. Du-
Bois was called 20 his old home at
Lake Mills, Wis. by a dispatch an
nouncing the serious illness of the
father of Mrs. Dubois, Mr.. A. ID. Fa-
vile. The Doctor arrived but day
or two before the end came, Mr.. Fa-.
vile being surrounded by his sorrow
ing wife and children and others who
we're dearest to him. A beautiful trlb-
ute to his memory is paid by lifelong
friend and neighbor, from which the
Herald copies;
SIT matters little when or where such
man as A. D. Faville was born. He
was of type all his own. The disci-
pie of reincarnation might conceive
that some ancient Hermes with shaded
brow, rugged frame, thoughtful mien,
and creative energy had found a new
mundane existence in his corporeal
body.
I" To indulge in words of fulsome
praise would be most revolving to his
nature, and were it possible he would
turn in his casket in resentment
Therein lay one of his many virtues.
ssOne of the pioneers of Wisconsin,
he helped found community and
state, establish schools and churches
and maintain them, mould and fashion
social, political and religious senti.
ment.
sHis success in life was no accident
In business way he possessed the
rare talent of seeing and foreseeing
How and what to plant, when to de-
vote his lands to grain, when to sheep,
when to dairy, when to buy, when to
sell. Unknown to himself, he was the
oracle of his neighborhood in many
ways. His sagacious mind could fore
cast results others could not discern.
Had the amassing of wealth been the
goal of his ambition his genius would
have brought him abundant success.
B eing. of a deep, religious nature he
lived as though his was a stewardship,
and as the dollars rolled in he rolled
them out in benefactions to the poor
and unfortunate, and many charities.
The affairs of the church of his choice
were never barren of his offerings:
not alone his own church, but every
church in this community, has shared
his contributions and felt the impulse
of his life. Not alone the church, eve
ry worthy object has received his con-
siderate attention.
elbow striking the contrast between
him and some of his contemporaries,
whose greed for gain has crushed eve
ry generous impulse. and whose TAX
ing off will bring only sense of relief
Even if life ''were but a fitful
dream ''if death ends all'' to have
lived life of duties we'll done, with a
conscience void of offense, of having
ministered to human needs, of having
made happy home where love abides,
it were far better than not to have liv-
ed at all. ROBERT FARGO

Sometime since Major Baldwin, ex-
Indian commissioner, who protested
against his removal SO vigorously
charged Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy with
being largely instrumental in his re-
moval and that his motive was that
he, Eddy, had been specializing in
government pine, which had been un-
derestimated so DIS to make such pur-
chase very profitable. Mr.. Eddy re-
plies:
Regarding the charge that l spec
ulated in pine lands, | will say that
did not buy foot of pine land at the
Crookston land Office, either at public
or private sale, in my own name, OF
that of any one else. l did attend the
public sale at Duluth, July l, 1896 and
bid in a tract of 1000 acres on Rany
river for other parties. There is only
q small amount of timber on the tract.
The parties wanted the land and the
only way title could be obtained there
to was to bid for the timber. | had

The two mentioned were admittedly the

question was ever raised as to the cor
rectness of the estimate in that portion
of the reservation lying in the Duluth
district. There were several oppos-
ing bidders at the sale. Patents for
the same were issued at once, and my
connection with the matter ceased
