was snugly ensconced on his
knee, What makes your

of the truth, "Oh, are you

said the little one, who was
fast nearing the limit Of her
biblical knowledge, "you
must be Japhet,' A mega.

query also. But, grandpa,

A FAITHFUL DOG.

The 14-year-old daughter
of MIR. and Mrs. McKenney
of Bentonville was saved
from death by a faithful fam
lily dog a few days ago. The
girl walked too close to d

her dress caught fire. Sh ;
started, panic-stricken, to
run home. The dog ran at,
ter her and actually tore the
burning dress from her, say

GOOD ROADS DEPARTMENT.
BY y. III. UILKERSON.
Of GOOD roads.

| of good roads.
But this is by no means the
entire cost Of our bad roads.
From the best information we can
gather am safe in saying that
there are 100000 personsnin Ar
kansas subject to- road. duty.
These hands are required to work
5 days in each year. Estimating
this labor at 81 per day, we see
that the state is expanding in la
Dor and money 100000 annually
on our public roads. From this
expenditure it is well known that
little or no good is received. 49,
Sharp county has something
over 1900 road hands within her
borders. Estimating the labor OF
each one of these hands to be
worth 81 per day we'find that the
county is actually paying out an
nually $500. AT so cents per
day we are paying $3.50 annu-
ally. ...
Notwithstanding all this ex-
pcnditure of time and loss OF
money it is we'll known to all that
our public roads, with very little
exception, are gradually growing
worse. Thirty years ago they
were better than they are to-day
We have the example in front OF
our own doors. They stand out
as eloquent witnesses when We
go to the mill, the post office anc
church, and rise up before US as
gaunt specters when we convey
our dead to the burying ground.
1t is useless for us to pursue
this part of our subject further
Every intelligent citizen knows
the great detriment that bac
roads are to our county and we
are persuaded that if he can see
a practical remedy he will gladly
accept it. There is a remedy
within the reach Of our people
and to this part of our subject We
will give careful and candid con-
sideration. To this end we viii
consider in our next issue how
to secure the means with which
to build good roads.

to the Tribune;
Time is passing swiftly

that we have already been

don't appear half so long.

do not hear anything to the
contrary at least, Rations

COST OF FAD ROADS,

Office Of Road Inquiry for the
Department of Agriculture, in
commenting upon the closes 10y
reason of bad roads" states:
g. "FAs to losses by bad roads,
this office has learned, by con-
sultation with many thousands OF
the most intelligent farmers of
the country, that the expense OF
moving farm products and sup
plies average, on all our country
roads, % cents per ton per mile;
whereas in the good-road dis
tricts of this and other countries
the cost is only about third
of this amount. The extra eX-
pense amounts in the aggregate
to more than the entire eXpendi-
lures of the National Government,
and taking into account all of the
hauling done on the public roads
the loss is equal to one-fourth OF
the home value of all the farm
products of the United States"
1t. is hardly possible for one
who has not been accustomed to
giving this subject careful con-
sideration, to appreciate the
above statement, yet actual in
vestigation will convince the most
skeptical Of its truth.
From careful investigation by
the same party mentioned above
it is shown that the average cost
to the farmer of this country tc
market his products is 20 cents
per ton per mile, whereas or
good roads it would only cos
him s 1-3 cents per mile. Put
ting it in round numbers we fine
that the farmers are annually
contributing to the cost of BAG
roads more than S250,000, 900
This vast sum is lost, swallowed
up by mud holes, and nothing il
received in return except a con-
tinuation of mud, mud holes
rocks and steep hills. 1t is ;
clear loss, no one is benefited by
it. If the farmer loses his hous,
by fire, wind or some other cause
while it is a great loss to him
others are benefited. The lum
bermen and carpenter each flint
an increased demand for lumbe
and labor; but it is not so witt
our annual contributions to mud
mud-holes, rocks and hills.
Applying these figures to Ar
kansas we find that the people 0
our state are contributing annu
ally to the tax for bad roads NOR,
than S5,500,000. AT a cost o
$4,000 per mile this sum would
build 1850 miles of first claai
roads. With 1850 miles of goo(
roads in Arkansas property would
more than double its presen
value. Farming would receiv,
an impetus that the most sanguin,
cannotnow dare to hope for, Al
era OF prosperity and happiness
would come to our people which
could hardly be in any othe
cline under the sun. Beautiful
homes would bedeck our vine
clad hills. In our virgin soil tn,
gardener, fruit-grower and tn,
farmer, with but little money
would find their paradise. Her,
among our beautiful hills ant
sparkling streams can be fount
sweet peace. This is our idea
for North Arkansas, However
before it is realized, much treas
ure, brains and Drawn will hav,
to be expended.
Going back to our former prop
osition, we will suppose tina
there is 1000 tons Of Sharp county
products placed on the markets
annually, and that the average
distance to market is 10 miles
II il costs % cents per ton pei

breaking a District record, throwing the

throw being made by johnson OF the {. A

BALL PLAYERS COMBINE.

Representatives. From All League
Clubs Met In New York Yesterday.
Twenty-three good ball payers, delegates
from the National League clubs. held a five
hours secret session yesterday at the Stur-
tevant House, New York. The result of
their deliberations was the formation Of
the Protective Association OF Professional
Base Ball Players. 1t was announced after
the meeting by Hugh Jennings OF the
Brooklyn club. who acted as spokesman.
that the principal objects of the assoeia,
ton Will be to get justice and fair deal
for the ball players.
1T was brought out strongly In the meet
ing. said Jennings, that there Is not the
slightest desire anybody's part to an
ta&oniZe the National League. We appre-
ciate fully that We need the club owners
and that they need US. All we want Is an
even break. OF course, our organization
will have to feel its way. II differences arise
between our members and the club owners
1t will doubtless beI easy to settle them
without resrting toi anyiharsh measures:
The delegates went into session at II
o'clock and comprised the following:
Brooklyn. Joseph y. Kelley. Hugh Jen-
nings and William ,-Keeler; New YORK.
George Davis. John j. Doyle and Winfred
Mercer; Philadelphia, I'D. J: Deiahanty,

an, Charles Irwin and civilian Phillips;

Young, Jesse Burke4t aad Emmett Held
rick. tui III
The delegates votad unanimously not to
affiliate with the American Federation OF
Labor for the present. They also voted not
to announce the names Of the officers, the
feeling being 1t would bs unwise to make
shining marks of any particular players In
case the league magnates determined to
get after the union at once.
1t is expected that the minor league play
ers win become members Of the union, as
their interests are Identical with those OF
the players in the big league.
A committee of three was appointed to
| draft a constitution and bylaws. They will
report to the association at It's next meet
| ing, which will be he'd in New York dur
