ROAD IMPROVEMENT.

First Mako Good Roads, Then Keep Them
Smooth with Wide Tires.
The movement in favor of good roads
which has at last really begun 10 .gi-
tate rural communities all over the
country involves many oontributory is
sues Of considerable Importance. says
The Youths Companion. For instance,
associations which have undertaken the
task of improving the country roads are
generally advising farmers to make use
of broad tires upon their wagon wheels
instead Of the narrow tires which cut
and rut soft road 10 deeply. + :.
It is not easy to induce the farmers
to follow this advice, because it implies
and requires at the outset the repair
ing Of the road. Broad tired wagons
could make little or no progress over
some Of the muddy and rough roads
which are too often found not far from
the busiest and most thriving cities.
Narrow wheels cut their way through
more easily, but only at the cost of ex-
hausting the horses which draw the
wagon, and Of still further injuring the
road as thoroughfare.
If the highway could but BIZ improved
sufficiently to bear the heavy tires, the
wheels would act like miniature road
roller and assist in keeping the road in
good condition instead Of tearing it to
pieces. /. /. y. Il
AS an immediate result access to mar
kets would be made much more easy,
draught animals would gain in ef1cien-
cy and length Of service, and it would
be possible to transport larger loads
with greater ease and convenience than
ID the case at present.
The farmers and the rural communi-
ties which they control hesitate to take
the first step because Of the immediate
expense involved. Il ought not to be
hard TO convince go intelligent a portion
Of the community that real economy,
both Of labor and money, would be
gained by improved roadbeds and the
use Of broader tires 5a.#s:

cost Of improving all the roads Of New

is perhaps not to be wondered at that
in the Legislature they oppose any bill
which requires them to pay any large
proportion Of the cost of improving

Massachusetts now expends $780,
900 annually in the improvement Of her
roads. We have 1876, 900 miles Of road;
Massachusetts,, 50, 900 miles. It costs
81, 900 mile in Massachusetts to i'm
prove road. The millions Of dollars
required to improve the roads Of New
York state, therefore, are obvious. We
should have to expend Is, 900. 900 q year
to compare IN any degree with Massa-
chusetts. That 10 one-f fourth Of the
amount now raised By direct taxation.
Can we persuade the Legislators to
make such an expenditure, such large
addition to the states expenses? That
is the question, and the sole question to
be considered. In the poorer counties Of
the state the state itself must build and
maintain the roads.

deserved reputation for courage, frmness
and diplomacy. Without doubt the gold
camps need just such a man, for there are
prospects of troublous times in Dawson
City and vicinity during the next few
months. s@@
But Major Walsh has handled worse
men than gold crazed miners and desper-
ate adventurers When he organized the
northwestern mounted police force in
1878, he led a little force Of only so men
out into the unexplored wilderness, and in
the midst Of the Cyprus hills he established
q fort. Around his little band were be-
tween 5000 and 9, 900 savages, Including
Sioux, Crees, Blackfeet, Bloods, Assini-
BONES and other treaoherouS and blood
thirsty tribea It was q daring thing to
do, but Major Walsh remained there in
the heart Of the Indian country until the
savages had recognized the rule Of the
whites. He commanded the northwestern
police during the Louis Riel rebellion and
took an important part In the suppression
Of that outbreak.
Mnjor Walsh was born 81 years ago in
Prescott, Ont, of Irish parents He had
an inherited love Of adventure, which led
him to become captain Of a IRE company,
. locomotive engineer and q volunteer
militiaman. He took 3 course at the mil
itary school Ii Kingston and became Gap
tain Of rifle company. Seeing little pros
pect Of experiencing active service IN tho
militia, he entered the cavalry school, and
Colonel Jenyns declared him to DO the best
drilled and pluckiest cavalryman ever
turned out Of that institution. q few
years later he organised volunteer troop
Of cavalry, which be commanded until he
was appointed the first officer Of the north
western police
Since that time Major Walsh has had .
career filed with exciting Incidents, for IL
has bean under his direction that the line
Of forts beginning with Fort Walsh,
named sitter himself. has been pushed TO
the far northern and western boundaries
He is1a strict disciplinarian, but his per.
sonal bravery and even temper make him
popular with his men.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Congress ad-
journs sine die a week from Thursday,
and the rush and 5ostling which marks
the closing Gays Of a session will begin
today. Washington's birthday will be
celebrated by hard work. Members with
pet measures the passage of which have
more or less bearing on their political
fortunes, Will begin their clamor for rec
ognition, but they will appear in vain as
long as appropriation bills and confer
ence reports are before the house for ac-
tion, as these by the rules have the right
Of way. Besides the house managers
are anxious to put through with the
least possible delay the last two budgets
so that the decks may be cleared for the
final struggle with the senate over the
latter's amendments to the money bills
Speaker Reed and the house managers
are using all their power and influence
to keep down the appropriations to the
lowest limit, as they already promise
to exceed those Of the Fifty-first con-
gress. and the increases which the SEN
ate makes will be fought to the bitter
end. The influence Of this purpose to
keep down appropriations to the mini
mum was apparent when the naval
committee, after agreeing to recommend
an appropriation for a new battleship
and training ship for the Annapolis
cadets, upon consultation with the lead
ers rescinded its action and decided to
report the bill without any recommen-
dation for an increase of the new navy
The senate will begin the week by lis
tening to Daniel read Washington's
farewell address, but viii not observe
Washington's birthday to any greater
extent. 1t is. expected that very little
will be attempted beyond appropriation
legislation during the week. Sherman
has announced his purpose not to again
bring up the arbitration treaty for debate
so long as the appropriation bills are
pressing for consideration, but IL there
should be a lull in this work he may re-
new his efforts to secure ratification.
There is no probability, however, that
this result can be accomplished. Hoar is
waiting anxiously to get up the bank
ruptcy bill.
