STATE AID FOR ROADS.
A Recognition That This Is the Solutit
of the Good Roads Problem.

A Recognition That This Is the Solution
OF the Good Roads Problem.
The strongest impetus which the good
roads movement has received in many
years past was the passage by the New
York legislature of the Higbie-A
strong good roads bill, says the Chicago
Times Herald.
1t is significant Of the rapid growth
of public sentiment in favor of state aid
to highway construction that the oppo-
sitiOn to the measure could muster only
80 votes. Under this bill, which has
become law, the state appropriation
for this year to expend for highway i'm
provement will be $50. 900, which, it is
estimated, will amount to l cent per
$1,000 of assessed valuation, or 80
cents on the average 81, 500 farm.
The size of each years appropriation
is fixed by the legislature, and as the
good results of the law become more
discernible and more generally recog
niZed it is not improbable that public
sentiment will demand i'll a few years q
much larger appropriation. Under the
provisions by which county is author
ALSo W apply loi q pOltAou VI tuS SUOu
roads appropriation the law becomes
home rule measure. If the appropriation
should be increased to 81. 900, 900 in any
year, the average tax on each 81, 500
farm would be only so cents, which
seems trifling expenditure considering
the unreasonable benefits that accrue
to agriculturists through good highways
to the markets.
With such notable example Of what
the state can do in the way of encour-
aging the construction of good highways
afforded by her neighbor, New Jersey,
the wonder is that New York did not
inaugurate the state aid system long
ago. Under the New Jersey law the
state bears one-third the expense, the
size OF the appropriation being deter
mined by the legislature. Under the
stimulus Of state aid nearly every coun-
ty in the state is now building macadam
roads, while there are already SO many
miles of stone roads in the state that it
can be traversed in every direction
without leaving them. Nineteen of the
II counties of the state have this year
made application for their shares of the
appropriation.
The action of the New York legisla.
ture is gratifying recognition of the fact
that state aid is the ultimate solution
OF the good roads problem.

KATH'ALEEN.

In land of smiles and sunshine,
In land Of summer skies,
Where the bObolink. clear-nOted,
Charmed the meadows with his cries.
There, enshrined by nOdding rosebuds,
Lived milada, Kath'aleen,
Far away from work and worry
Far away from city scene.
And loved the mellow maiden
Loved her true and loved her well;
Loved her long and loved her constant
Loved her more than tongue can tell.
EnviOus was / Of the sunshine,
That it kissed my Kath 'aleen,
Envious Of the sparkling water,
That it passed her lips between.
Jealous grew Of all creatures,
Of all things and of all space;
OF the bee that hummed about her,
And the wind that touched her face;
OF the grasses she had walked on,
OF the kerchief round her drawn.
And the smiling, blushng rosebud,
AS it nodded her good morn.
Till one night met my maiden,
In the twilight's afterglow,
And told her of nv loving
or my Jealousy and woe.
Soothed she then my slerpiess spirit,
Gained my angrystirrng blood
For Katie loved her lover
Jealously. thy name is mud.

MACHINE ROADWAYS.
THEY RECEIVE A PRACTICAL TEST IN
NEBRASKA

Successfully Withstand Frosts of Winter
and Thaws of Spring Smooth, Hard
Roads Take the Place of Mudholes.
Method Of Construction.
The members of the board of county
supervisors are taking deep interest
in the public road work that was done
last summer on several of the main
county highways and have started a
systematic inquiry with view OF as
certaining how the roadbeds have with
stood the spring thaw, says the Omaha
Bee. Colonel Baker has perhaps taken
more interest in this work than almost
any other member of the board. He
SAYS:
1--WE have every reason to cOngratu
late ourselves and the people OF the
county who use the roads that the effort
to construct modern highways was be-
gun last summer. OF the "a miles OF
roadway we constructed last summer
our reports do not show mile that is
not in good passable condition. In
many places where at this time last
year the mud was axle deep to the We
hicles that attempted to traverse the
public highways Immediately after the
frost left the earth we now have firm,
dry roadbetis over which heavy loads
can be hauled. There has been more
rain this season than last The work
we did bias certainly demonstrated the
wisdom of the board in investing con-
siderable sum of money in the road
making machinery we purchased and
put into operation. We We're considera-
bly, handicapped during portion of the
season on account of the excessive dry
ness of the soil, which could not be per-
fectly compacted by our system of har
rowing and rolling.
At all points where the new road
ways are not up to the standard it will be
found that the work was done when the
ground was powder dry. Wherever we
had moist earth to work upon we gave
a firm and solid basis for the road that
has not been affected by the weather.

Reasons For Road Improvement.

Tae three most important reasons for
road improvement are, first, the desir-
ability Of reducing the cost Of hauling;
second, the Importance of making most
of our roads fit for pleasure driving,
thereby attracting to the rural districts
il summer thousands of people who
create local market for various farm
PRODUCTS; third, the economic principle
Of preventing the great waste of labor
which now is fruitlessly expended in
making bad roads.-Professor F. J. II.
Merrill

Road M8inten2nce.

The only way by which a macadam
roadway can be kept firm and compact
and preserved through summer heat is
to moisten it regularly. If macadam is
worth paying for, it is worth caring for.
But this is done only in spots, where
private parties bear the expense, and,
instead of keeping the roads always
good and firm, it is customary to wait
until the sun has disrupted the surface
and then to spread on a quantity Of
earth, stones and sod to protect" it
Exchange.

Type for Sale.

We have for sale lot of display Job
type as shown below. Some of this
type has never been used at all and is
as good as it was the day it came from
the foundry. The reason for selling is
that it is not best adapted to newspa-
per service, the face being too delicate.
1t is well suited for job work, however,
as will readily be seen.
The other fonts Qor most parD are
in good condition and will be found
very serviceable either in newspaper
or job office. We have a surplus and
prefer some one to have it who needs
it worse than We do. Therefore, will
sell it very cheaply. Cut out such as
would be useful in your office and
say what you can make it worth to you.
No reasonable offer will be refused.

AS TOLD IN SPAIN.
Amazingly Ridiculous Ideas of Spain
Greatest Newspapers.
(AtIanta .JOurnal.)

Whether the newspapers of Spain
are really as ignorant as they pretend
to be concerning events and condi-
tions in this country, or are lying
deliberately i'm order to deceive the
masses of the Spanish people is a
question. Certain it is, however
that even the leading journals in
Spain publish the widest and most
absurd fabrications in almost every
article about the war that appears in
their columns. Some specimens Of
their work in this line may amuse our
readers.
Ell Emparciai. of Madrid, in a re-
cent issue, says cditorially:
at is fact well known to all Eu-
rOpean statesmen that only by means
of armed forces stationed in the late
Confederate States has the Washing
ton government been able to preserve
the semblancc of peace. Even now
the new generation of the Confeder-
acy is but waiting for the word to
revolt. When war is declared Gen
eral Lee, who has been consul general
at Havana, and who was kicked out
of Cuba by Governor General Blanco,
will raise the standard of revolt in
the Southern Confcderacy. This Lee
is the same Lee who was general-in-
chief of the civil war in 1850 to 1855,
and, whose surrender to General Lin
coin in the last named year broke the
revolution. His acts at Havana were
for the purpose Of plunging the gov
eminent into war with the kingdom
of Spain, at which time he and his
followers would rise against Senior
Mackindiey."
Not to be outdone by its competi-
tor, Ell Hernldo, another prominent
newspaper in Spain, comes forward
with the following no less startling
editorials
"All the troops of the Yankees are
in the far western part Of the coun-
try, many thousands of miles from
the Atlantic coast. There are only a
few thousand men, all told, and they
are i'll paid and i'll fed, and not will
ing to fight. To utilize this force it
will he necessary to bring it to the
eastern seaboard. There is but one
railway by which it can be trans
ported, and that is an old and poorly
constructed affair. AT one place this
railroad passes over Niagara falls, a
cataract 1000 feet high. near Labra-
dor. At last accounts the bridge at
this place was in very dangerous
condition. 1t need surprise no one
to hear that some agency had made
it still more 500
Neither of the papers quoted is
ahead of Ell Tempo. which asserts its
capacity in the following able
"specialn from Havana:
WORD has just been received here
that the Indians are rising against
the Yankees in Illinois, Ohio and
other places. The farmers are petit
tioning the government to protect
them from the blood-thirsty savages,
who are burning houses and killing
on every side. Troops are asked for
at Colorado. in the State of Denver,
and at st. Louis (San Louis), in Mis-
sipa. News is brought to us that
Buffalo Bill. notorious outlaw and
leader of band of half-breeds, has
risen against the American govern
ment and is burning towns near his
birthplace in New York.
