The Seabc ard Air Line Scores Another
Point

The Seaboard Air Line has for long time.
contended that as it could not get its ~leepers
south of Atlanta and north OF Washington.
while other lines were allowed this privilege.
it should. there ore. be a lowed a differential
rate. This matter was taken up recently with
the Southeastern Passenger Association, the
Trunk Line Association and the A snclaton
OF Virginia and the arelinas. and the Sea-
board Air Lines claim for differenIals was
allowed.
The tariffs Just published by the above asse-
Citations show standar ri rates by all ines be-
tween the North aud South, as well as the
differentia rate via the Seahoard Air Line,
which te is S3 less than that shown by other
lines. The standard rate between New ork
and Atlanta is $24; the differential rate via
the Sea board Air Line s 81: the rate between
Washington and Atlanta is $3.50, the differ
entail rate via the Seaboard Air Line is $l4.sO
This differential applies between all tmpor-
ia Mt cities in the Southeastern Passenger Ae-
sociation's territory. the Trunk Association
territory.
The sea board Air Line now has the matter
upwith the New Eng and Passenger Associa-
ton, looking to the publishing of these differ
enti rates in their tariffs. As soon as this Is
granted it is understood tnat the SeabOard All
will then go to the Mississippi Passenger Al
ISOLATION with n request that they pub ish like
rates from their territory. When this is done
the >eaboard Air Lire will have a differentia

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Missouri Road Convention.


A large and harmonious convention
in st. Louis spent two days in debat-
ing the road question. The principal
questions were the most feasible
means OF improving the highways, the
best method of utilizing the labor Of
criminals, misdemeanants and tramps,
and plans for submission to the Legis-
lature. A committee of fifteen was
appointed to suggest . method of fu-
ture procedure.
1t was resolved that the ninety
counties in the State which are au.
thorized to levy tax of sixty cents
for county purposes be asked to set
aside one-third of it for road improve
ment. If this was made law, good
roads would be built. A resolution
was adopted asking the submission OF
constitutional amendment permit.
ting county courts to increase the tax
levy for road purposes, and another
resolution in favor of State highway
commission. The Missouri Road I'm.
provement Association was invited to

To Locate Roads Properly.

Ino importance OF locating ROAD
correctly at the outset, according to
competent surveyors and thorough ex-
animation, can hardly be oyer-esti-
mated. Where reports are made by
viewers to some superior body with
whom the final decision rests, it is Of
great importance that the viewers be
liberal minded, intelligent and public
spirited, and that one of them should
always be thoroughly competent en-.
gineer. A full report of every exam
nation should be made, and should
contain sufficient data to make it pos
sible to base an intelligent and accu-
rate opinion on it.
Deputy Secretary Of Agriculture
John Hamilton, Of Hamilton, Penn,
is endeavoring to secure better work
in this direction, and has prepared the
following form of report, with the OBJ
ject of securing full and explicit infor
