Some OF the Advantages.

In speaking about the advantages
of good roads a prominent official OF
the League Of American Wheelmen
says:
IF there Is q method Of accomplish
Ing twice as much as heretofore with
a given amount of effort, it is to the
farmers interest to discover and
adopt it. Economy of labor mean ad-
ditional acres which he can find time
to make productive. The only way to
compute the value Of labor is to in
quire what it would cost If 1t had to
be purchased. It has been found that
If the farmers of the United States
had to pay someone else for marketing
their crops 1t would cost them on an
average twenty-five cents every time
a ton was hauled o mile nearer to mar
ket. In other words, it costs twenty
five cents a ton q mile. I say on an
average, for its costs considerably less
In many localities. Yet 1t costs sufh-
GENTLY more in many others to make
it average as large as stated. Taking
du dtGEdRO VI tAE AuHlDS1 Va HIND
travelled 1t costs on an average $500
a ton from the farm to the railroad
station. 1t costs only $1.S7 in the
Northern and Eastern States, but in
the Pacific coast and mountain States
it runs up as high as $5.12. This, Of
course, is for the value OF the farmers
time and that Of his team and wagon,
or what he would have to pay someone
else, at a fair price, to do his hauling
for him. How was all this found out?
1t is the result Of careful inquiries
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and of estimates
received from farmers throughout the
United States In reply to 10000 re-
quests for such information. These in
quiries were made for the simple pur-
pose Of getting at the facts so that
farmers might know what could be
saved by the building Of good roads,
and might better be able to determine
how much they could afford to spend
for building them.n

HAD TO LEAVE TRANSvAAL.
Two Brothers Who Would No. swea
Allegiance to Kruger.
Especial to The Herald.)

tEpEeldl TO Inc t1eEdlu-l
RawHns, Wyo., Jan. Edward Hag-
garty. discoverer of the now famous
Ferris aggarty copper mine in the
Grand EncamDment district, has re
ceived a letter from his brother, who
was recently driven out of the Trans
vaal country by the Beers because he
would not swear allegiance to the gov
eminent of "OOm Paul" In his letter
Mr.. Haggarty relates some interesting
facts in connection with his escape from
the TranSVaal.
The letter was written from Cape
Town. to which place Haggarty and
another brother had made their way
after getting through the Boer lines.
They rode for four days and nights IN
an open coal truck, and nearly starved
to death on the road. Their trunks,
containing everything they had, had
been SmUggled out of the country and
sent on ahead. but at the time the let
ter was written they had not been
found. 1t was costing the two men
small fortune to live at Cape Town,
where rooms cost 50 per week and food
stUf6s in proportion
The Haggartys say the present war
will cost them thousands Of dollars, as
well as thousands of other EDgiishmen
in the Transvaal. The wife of one OF
the brothers is a native Boer woman
who has three brothers and three
brothers-in-law in the BOer army Her
aged father is also at the front, where,
like almost every other abie-bodled
male resident Of the Transvaal, he IS
fighting for what they regard as their
independence and freedom from the
yoke of oppression fastened about them
many years ago by John Buzz.
Edward Haggarty will probably go &c
/ England during the coming month and
visit his brothers, who are expected 70
make their way to London.

Drunk House Experience of James
Tillett.
James H. TiHett fell from a bunk to
the stone floor Of the drunk house in
the city Jail late last night, the fan
being about six feet, and sustained a
terrible cut on the head. Tiilett had
been drinking heavily, and went to a
rOomiug house kept by Mrs. Booker at
pa West First North, to call on an
acquaintance. While he was there the
landlady, seeing his condition, made d
complaint, and the patrol wagon con-
Veyed him TO police headquarters.
He was put in the drunk cell with
another man, and a couple of hours
later d friend appeared with bail Tor
his appearance. When Night JaIler
Armstrong took the keys and went out
to get Tilett, he found him in pool

through and through.
DR.. Root was called and dressed the
injury, which, though a scalp wound,
he stated might have been very ser

The cash is on top of the right side
of the head. Tiuett could not tell how
he received 1T. 1t was at first thought
he had been beaten by the other prs
oner. but circumstances discredit this.
It is more than likely he climbed on to

Mt. Pleasant, Jan. dummy
Rowan Of Mercur has been unable to
get his desired fight with Chris Lund
of Fountain Green. as ne refuses to
meet him just at present.
The Rowan brothers and several
local sports went to Fountain Green
Saturday to arrange for a match, and
were given but little encouragement by
Lund, although the latter took the
matter under consideration until this
morning. A mess, = 2 was received from
Lund this morning which said that he
could not arrange to meet Dummy"
So today the boys go back to Mercur,
having given up all hopes Of arrang-
ing q battle. Some of Lunds friends
here, however, still have hopes Of pre-
vailing upon him to meet Rowan, and
q delegation will go over this afternoon
and attempt to arrange it.
The sporting fraternity here who be-
lieve in boxing contests or prize fight
ing, have been taken aback by an
ordinance passed by the council Satur-
day night which is designed to prohibit
everything of the kind in the city. The
ordinance, which was introduced and
passed in the one evening, will take
effect on Friday next and viii effectu-
ally put a stop to such sports.
