"The lowered prices OF raw ma

NEW JERSEYS ROADS.
THE BEST IN The COUNTRY
Experiments Already Made Demonstrat
the Immense Saving to this Farmer.

More practical work is being done i'll
New Jersey in the direction of good
roads than In any other state In the
Union and FOR that reason II has been
selected by the postofiice department
for the experiment authorized by Con-
gress for free delivery system in the
rural districts. The movement wns
begun in 1898 by the organization of
Il highway improvement association
and the passage of II law imposing up
on the state one-third of the cost OF
good roads constructed under the di.
rection OF state road commissioner.
Under this statute 23S miles of ma
cadamized roadway has been con-
structed Mt an expense Of S4G6.595 To
the state and upwards OF n million dol.

owners. People can now travel upon

continued for n series Of years-in 1SS;s
and 1894. scventy-fOur miles: 1SsEj.
sixty-six and one-llalf miles: 1906. fifty

minished by experience from nm aver
age OF $1,000 per mile in 1893 to S4.OOn
Il mile In 1897.
The opposition to the new sys-
TEN has already died out and the ap-
pllcatiOns for state assistance are SO
numerous that the appropriation will
be Increased from 100000 to $30O.00D
this year. The farmers have found
that they actually save more than the
amount OF their taxes In repairing
their wagons. harness and In horse

The road commissioner of the state.
whose tact and ability have done much
to promote the movement puts prac.
tical lesson In mathematics before the
farmers. '.It costs 0M cents bushel.

bushel Of wheat with good roads for
a distance Of five miles would he about
equivalent to that OF 3I5, miles by
railroad. One mile of good roads
would make saving equal to seventy
five miles of railroad transportation.
Thus every mile OF good roads places
the producer seventy-tive miles by rail

that the cost Of hauling 7OO.OOO,O0O

that the relations between the Tsung-

that Sir Claude has intimated that
Great Britain will regard as a casus
belli any failure on the part of China to
observe her wishes. They say that the
situation between Great Britain and
China is acute, Sir Claude Macdonald

observe her engagements to the Brit

ing to 100, 900 enlisted men. He feels
confident that the measure will be
passed.
The strongest opposition to the re-
organic alton bill last winter and
spring came from the represen tati yes
of the national guard organizations of
the various states, and it was effective
to a consider able extent. The eX-
perience of the last four months,
there is reason to believe, has
convinced that element, as we'll as a
great many congressman who surren-
dered to its in fluence, that the oppOsi-
ton was i'll judged and unreasonable,
and that a reasonably strong regular
army; thoroughly equipped and organ
lied on modern basis, would be a
benefit. rather than a drawback, to
the national guard organizations.
