/ GOOD ROADS NOTES,
A New Road scheme.

New Road scheme.
IN URING the last few years the
| Federal Department of Agri.
culture has largely increased
4 its usefulness and extended
the scope of its operations. 1t has
made its methods more practical and
has adapted them more closely to the
needs of the country.
It was once an adage that the seed
sent out by the Agricultural Depart
y-ent never came up. OF course this
was libel on the department, but it
is fact that the quality of the seed
distributed by the Government has
been SO greatly improved that no
superior seed can be found anywhere.
The Agricultural Department has
many other important functions be-
sides the distribution of seed. One
of its most useful bureaus is that
which is devoted to the science of
road building. It's directors and
supelintendents are men who,a are well
versed both in the theoretical and the
practical science OF road building.
| The monographs and reports sent out
by this bureau contain many valuable
suggestions concerning the coustruc.
ton, protection and repair of roads.
Practical tests of various theories and
methods of road building are made by
| the bureau and the results are re-
ported fully.
The work of construction, specimen
sketches of roadway, was begun in
1884 and has been carried on with
marked success. These sample roads
have been inspected by officials and
other visitors from all parts of the
country and the suggestions which
they offer have been in many in
stances embodied in practical results.
The bureau now proposes the con-
struction of steel track wagon roads.
Such roads may be built much
cheaper than either macadam of ebert
highways, and while they are not as
desirable as either are a vast improve
ment on the ordinary dirt roads and
are by reason of their smaller cost
within the reach of communities who
are not able to construct the best
styles of road.
The general plan Of the proposed
road is to lay two wide steel rails OF
ordinary highways. The road as thus
constructed consists Of two parallel
lines of steel plates or rails, each
eight inches wide, laid at a sufficient
distance apart to receive the wheels
of all vehicles of standard gauge.
The steel plates or rails have slight
aange on each side, which is deemed
sufficient to prevent the wagon wheels
from leaving the tracks easily, while
not interfering with turning out when
the driver desires to do in order to
pass another team or for any other

A Desperate Scheme.

The note OF alarm sent out by Cairman
Hanna of the executive committee of the
Indianapolis monetary convention warn
ing sound money men of the danger of
losing congress, has curious compile
ment in another letter, written by
Benjamin Carter of Washington City,
to the Hon. Charles Tracy, chairman of
the national committee of the so-called
"gold democrats" suggesting to Mr..
Tracy scheme for buying up papers in
the middle west for the advancement of
Mckinley's policy.
The note of alarm sent out by Mr..
Hanna indicates clearly enough the fear
that is growing among the republicans
that the Bryan tide is sweeping all be-
fore it and the letter from Mr.. Carter to
Mr.. Tracy shows that Mr. Perry Heath
of the republican committee is offering
valuable suggestions to the gold demo.
Gratis in the effort to check that tide.
Mr.. Heath has indicated to Mr.. Carter,
as Mr.. Carter indicates to Mr.. Tracy, a
very pretty scheme for subsidizing, GER
tain newspapers in the west, and it is
evident that the fading remnant gold
democrats are in very close touch with
the republican managers and are depend
ing upon the latter for material assist
ance in securing newspaper support at
reasonable figures.
1t appears that Mr.. Carter was in the
pay of the republican literary bureau in
1896 and he manifestly wants to get into
the same line of work through the gold
democrats this year. He wants Mr..
Tracy to authorize him to confer with
Mr.. Heath and his assistants in this di-
rection and he would like to take charge
of the preparations for the gold demo-
cratic newspaper work.
Mr.. Hanna warns the McKinleyites
that-their margin in the house is ex-
ceedingly small, and he seeks to stir up
the apathetic by showing that only by
the "skln of their teeth" can the sound
money crowd hope to retain majrity in
the lower branch of the national legis-
lature.
1t seems to be quite clear that this
letter of Mr.. Hanna had close .connec-
ton with the other letter and that the
two are parts Of the same general scheme
to save President McKinley's bacon.
Marble Hill press. (Marbel [sic] Hill, Mo.) 1881-1923, 1900-09-26

Mr.. BRYAN's letter ofacceptance is
much shorter than was McKinley's.
Having discussed imperialism at
great length in his speech, he de-
votes his letter to the other planks
of the national platform, but in the
close reaffirms that imperialism is
the paramount issue" and the
question of greatest Importance.
He pledges bimself, if elected, "to
appoint an Attorney General who
will enforce the laws" which adds
greater strength to his otherwise
strong letter.

The Lane that Had No Turning.

Since adventuring into Egypt in quest
of the raw material of which fiction is
made, Mr.. Gilbert Parker's Canadian
fields have been lying fallow. He returns
to them, however, with new vigor, and
even fuller power; and the serial which
he has just completed finds him at the
highest dramatic level to which he has
yet attained. .. ,.....,.s- .--
The Lane that Had No Turning is re-
markable for its honest strength,
thorough originality, and absorbing
interest. The scene of the story is
Pontiac (whither Valmond came), and
the period the middle fifties. The lead.
ing characters are Madelinette, a famous
singer, and her husband, Seignior Of
Pontiac, for whom she dares all and
risks all. The story gains interest as it
progresses and concludes with striking
and wholly unexpected finale.
The Lane that Had No Turning will
begin in THE SATURDAY EVENING Posr
for September 20, and run through five
numbers.
