week and informed the Tribune that
the property of the Iumuulu Sheep
Station. of which he is the manager,
is particularly tlourishing condition.
The wool crop of 1896 was 10000 lbs,
and he believes he will increase it to
over 100000 lbs. this season. He has
fully 100000 acres to pasture off, and
confines the same to sheep and hors-
es. He has been attracted by the
present prices paid for horses in Hilo,
and proposes to send in some of his
stock. which are of the best work an

STATE AID FOR ROADS.
The Expense Of Highway improvement
should Be Borne by All.

Roads are used for pleasure as well
as for traffic. This use Of good roads by
town people Is greater than the same
use by farmers, for the farm population
has less Of leisure. This is especially
true OF the women and children. In the
country they are busily employed, while
the women and children Of the town
have the leisure for driving and yiding.
On account Of their use Of good roads
for pleasure town people should help 20
pay for them.
Thousands of people now use bicy-
cles. Ninety per cent Of these wheelmen
are town people. They would profit by
good roads. This il so plain that they
ARE the foremos. advocates Of good
roads. Profiting by good roads, they
should tear a part Of their cost. This
they can do only through state aid.
Good roads. removing the isolation
and dreariness Of farm life, would oper-
ate powerfully 10 lessen the movement
of farm population to the city-a move
ment that has been excessive until pop
ulation is coEgested in the cities. This
would reduce the overcrowding Of city
industries, leading 10 steadier employ
ment and better wages, and as large
percentage of population would be en-
gagged III agricultural pursuits, while q
lessened percentage would be engaged
in other pursuits, there would he
greater comparative production of food
products, wool and cotton. The result
would be lower prices. and the income
Of town people. increased by steadier
employment and higher wages. would
purchase more food and clothing. Sure
ly for this double benefit town people
might well pay something.
While there are some just objections
70 state and county aid in roadbuilding
there is no other way III which town
people can contribute TO the cost Of good
roads so oqGitably and efficiently and
with so little injustice to themselves
and others. and some method OF appli-
cation, beneficial and just 10 all, can
surely b. devised. John NJ. Stahl.

With the same patience that the early

ways. says the Whitewater (Wis. } jour
nal.
For the last five years our roads have
been the topic Of the press, but we fail
TO see the good effect that this should
have had on the minds Of an intelligent
people, and, strange as il may seem, the
farmers are the very last ones with
which this matter finds any favor.
While our city cousins have long since
protested against the slow, uncomfort-
able horse car and compelled the com
panies to build expensive electric lines
with palace cars, we are contented 10

nearly as bad roads "a those our grand
fathers Travelled in early pioneer days.
and farmers who read from time 10
time Of the large sums Of money spent
by the government IN making public
improvements would vote against an
equal amount being expended on our
highways.
For "A proof Of this fact just see with
what reluctance most farmers work on
the road, even " hen well paid for their
labor; better paid than they often are
for the work which they do ON the
farm, and yet a greater proof Is the
fact that in many Of the towns III this
county they still cling to the old way
of working out road taxes by allowing
man go much fer his team. plow or
shovel and giving him ten hours story
telling.
At rough estimate there is between
tl0, 900 and $l5, 900 expended annually
OH the roads in this county. II part OF
this large sum Of money was invested
in machinei : Used i'll making roads, and
then have the work done by a body OF
men working under a county overseer
who had proved his ability as a road
builder and civil engineer by passing
a satisfactory civil service examination,
we could get more and better work
done. Such man could he obtained
for a moderate salary, and the work
done would he more uniform and salts
factory than that done by pet overseers
who are appointed regardless Of ability.
but because of some political pull at
town meetings.
OF course there are exceptions to the
general class Of farmers who are work
ing and talking To the best Of their
ability for coed roads. IL is to he hoped
that success will in the end crown their
efforts.

amounting to an average OF one.third,
or a load of 1866 pounds could be
drawn with the narrow tires as easily
az 2,000 pounds on the broad tires.
When this same road had been wet TO .
great depth by continued rains, and
the mud had become stiff and sticky,
90 that il would gather ON the wheels,
the difference was again largely in fa.
vor Of the narrow tires. In this case q
load Of s. 200 pounds was drawn with
the same draft on narrow tires as
1000 pound load on the broad tires.
These two are the only conditions Of
the dirt road in which the narrow tires
showed to advantage-viz: When the
surface is too wet. soft or sloppy to
compress under the broad tires, and Is
underlaid with hard, dry substratum.
In the nature Of the case this condition
Of road surface is Of short duration. II
the rains cease, few hours of sun In
the spring, summer or fall will dry the
surface materially. or so that it will
compress and pack under the broad
tires, enabling given load 20 be drawn
over its surface with the wide wheels
with much less draft than on the mar
row ones. II more rain falls, this SUBJ
stratum il softened, and the narrow
tires cut deeper, resulting in greatly
increased draft, compared with the
broad tires.
The second condition Of dirt roads IA
vorable to narrow tires Is when the mud
Is deep and stiff. and sticky enough to
gather On the broad wheels. A careful
observation for the last two years has
shown a stiff, poorly drained clay road
to DO in this condition but few times,
and then for but short while.
On meadows and pastures the results
have been strikingly in favor Of the
broad wheels. When the meadows are
soft, from 5000 to 1900 pounds may
be hauled OIL the broad wheels with the
same draft us that required 10 haul a
load Of 2.OOO pounds on the narrow
wheels. On stubble land and plowed
ground the results are favorable to the
broad wheels.
The experiments practically demon
strate that the impression that the broad
wheels in the average condition Of road
will increase the draft is wrong.
In round numbers the sum Of $780,
900, 600 is paid out each year for the
maintenance of our public roads outside
Of the cities. This estimate does not
include the cost Of permanent improve
ments. All improvements must come
from expenditures above this amount.
Il is we'll known that the narrow tired
vehicles are among the most destructive
agents known TO the public highways.
These public roads may be maintained
at q greatly reduced expense by substi-
tuting inch tires for the u inch tires
now used. Inasmuch az the cost Of the
wide tired wheels is not greater than
that Of those row in use, also consider
ing that they are Us durable as the mar.
row tire wheels. and the fact just dem
onstrated that the draft 10 not in
creased by their use, but in the average
case materially decreased, remove the
last objection against the gradual adop-
tion Of the broad wheel OH the farms,
| the country roads and city streets. For
the farm aud country roads the tires
should not he less than 6 inches wide.
For the city streets inches should be
the minimum width.
