ROAD ENGINEERING.

The Science Shoald he Taught In
Every Agricultural school.
The suggestion that the money de-
posted in postal savings banks, it. es-
tablished, should be loaned for the pur-
pose of building good roads has been
favorably received in most quarters;
but +. ii. Ray, pioneer good roads man
of Montana. thinks that public debtsare
already large enough, and that more
knowledge of the best methods should
be acquired before undertaking such
general and elaborate work. He says.
in the l.. A. w. Bulletin:
Ignorance is far more responsible
for bad roads than lack of expenditure.
Without disparagement OF the many
honest, well-meaning road officers, the
fact remains that road funds are large
" misspent because officials have had
no adequate training for such work
Many road reformers believe the i'm.
perative prelude to a general system OF
good roads, economically constructed
and well maintained, is q sufficient
number of resident, competent road
engineers and country road supervis-
ors, and that no bonding should be con.
sidered before q county has road Off
GERS who demonstrate their ability by
building few miles, at least. of per-
manent good roads with the funds an
nually raised by taxation.
''How is it possible to use road
funds wisely, over extensive area, until
majority recognize that special skill
is required for that work, and elect
thoroughly qualified officials? Is no,
the most urgent need therefore, fol
competent road-builders, instead OF
greater expenditure? Would not efforts
to provide such trained officials yield
far more satisfactory and less costly
results than creating road debts? Ii

from such schools, would not the great
obstacle to better roads be re-
moved? :.

with competent road officers should

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospcctor or trader COM

sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or At

this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
lion more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must he heaithful and

which all must place chief reliance,
