VAST LOSS Du- 20 BAD ROADS.
An Omcial Report ON Conditions In Iowa
Recommendation.

The bad roads OF Iowa have been made the
subject OF u report to the secretary OF ngri.
culture by General Roy Stone, director Of
the. bureau of road inquiry Of the asriruIl. sI.
turnl department He reports that while
Iowa lends all other states In tonnage Of
agricultural products. the cost Of transport, ,
ing her crops by wagon has reached the
maximum. owing to the bad condition Of the
public roads. NO that he agricultural output
cost OF Sl.3l a ton. The Iowa farmer pays
on an average "a cents ton mile but the
coat of hauling on good roads In from Q to 10
cents. The present conditions are largely
caused. he says. by the neglect of the gov.
ernment to lay out rOads In advance OF the
settlement Of the country. .
General Stone estimates that with rail.
road cooperation narrow stone roads or
gravel roads surfaced with stone can be
built generally throughout the state ut a
cost OF from $500 to 1900 a mile where no
heavy grading is required. and suggests that
the cost can he greatly reduced BY the en-
ployment of convict labor, as Is done In 9th.
er states. Conservative estimates based up,
on the hauling Of crops and local travel
place the tax annually paid by the farmers
Of lows because Of bad roads at $l4,OOO.ooo.

against the railway company In the
case of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company VS.. the United States, brought
here from the circuit court for the
Ninth circuit The case involved about
100000 acres OF land In southern Cali
fornla, and grew out Of the fact that
the forfeited land grant OF the Atlantic
& Pacific Railway Company was over
Tapped to some extent by lands claimed
under government grant by the South
ern Pacific. The Atlantic & Pacific COM
pany originally, claimed the lands in
controversy and Its original maps of
location along the lines of these lands
were accepted by the land office. but
Congress declared the lands forfeited,
and thereupon the Southern Pacific.
whose grant overlapped that Of the At
lantlc & Pacific railroad, set up title to
the lands. The circuit court, however,
decided against the Southern Pacific.
and the Supreme Court to-day affirmed
that decision 70 far us concerns the
railroad company. hut remanded to the
lower court for decision the cases of
about 200 persons who had purchased
part Of the lands from the railroad
company.
