der VS.. Harriet S. Emerson, auditor of

How to Make Good Roads.

EDITOR CoMET:-Your head is gen.
orally level except on some political
questions. Yes, on local and social
economies, even when you slip up on
the ice; so, let me talk to you, not only
as q progressive citizen, but as o part
of the court. If q man owns a piece of
rich land, say so acres, so located that
the frequent high tide head waters flow
over it, sc iniuring his crops as to cut
off at least one-fourth of what ought to
be the average yield, and he and every
body round about him feel sure that q
800 break-water embankment would
we'll protect his land, but his usual in
come never gives him st one time more
than 500 ready cash, and that a partial
ly constructed embankment would be
washed away and afford but little pro-
lection Of value, would he as a sensi-
BILE man and fpancier be justified in
negotiating a loan of the 800 at rea-
sonable interest, if he felt sure Of two
things. First, that the embankment
would change the $25 nominal value of
his land per acre to at least $50, and
probably as much as $40 or $50, look
ing to crop profits as we'll as market
value. Second, that he could first pay
the interest without inconvenience;
and second, very soon pay the princi-
pie, ought he to borrow the 800 and
build the embankment in short but in
good and permanent order?
Now, my dear sir, if Tn going to ask
you many more such long questions
hadn't you better "Comet-like" tell me
to stop?
Well, just one more, a short one.
What's the difference between the
above stated case and Washington

roads for water beds; and in the other
direction issuing short time bonds, and

She Saw Dayy Crockett Die.

Nine. Candelaria, the last survivor of
the-massacre Of the Alamo, died here
today. aged ia years. She was born in
Preside de Rio Grande in November,
1856. At the age of twenty-five she
moved to San Antonio and has resided
here ever since. Through her social in
tercourse with patriot Mexican families
among them Gov. Verimeldi, she met
the leaders of the Americans who were
fighting for Texas independence in 1886.
While the Alamo was undergoing its
memorable sieg she crossedthe enemies
lines and entered the Alamo, where she
offered her service as nurse to the he
roes who were defending the fort. She
saw the last moments of James Bowie
and stood within a few yards of Davy
Crockett when the latter was pierced
by twenty bullets. The Texas legisla-
ture granted her a pension of S72 semi
annually on which, together with the
sale of her photographs, she lived free
of want. For the past three years she
had lost the use of her eyes and grad
ually lost her other faculties. Death re-
suited from exhaustion. She lived in a
small abode hut in the Mexican quarter
of the city and was visited by thousands
of tourists each winter. San Antonio
