. GOOD ROADS NOTES
The Wide Tire Law.

INV W. AAIe LAW
n s it is evident that the public
generally will pay no atten-
~ tion to the wide tire law un-
q til it has been tested in the
courts--that, in fact, being the Cali
fornia practice as to all laws-those
who were active in securing the pas
sage of the law should lose no time in
filing information against those who
violate it. It should not be done in
malice, nor should any general crusade
be commenced, for public sentiment
is in favor of the law, and the failure
to prepare for complying with it is
due partly to its ambiguity, but mainly
to the arrogant position assumed by
the trade, some of whom openly avow
their intent to defy the law. Test
eases should be carefully selected so
as to avoid those expressions in the
law which are ambiguous or which
deal with interstate commerce. The
State probably has power to prevent
the sale of wagons which it deems inn
proper to be used. 1t certainly has
power to prevent the use of such
wagons upon the public roads The
only question in this case is as to
whether the Legislature has expressed
its intent so clearly that the courts
cannot avoid convicting on proper
evidence. For example, the law speaks
of tubular or iron axle" when it
means tubular steel or iron axle.
II a man is found using narrow.
tired "steel" tubular axle wagon he
may claim that the law does not reach
his case. Prosecutions should not be
left to private initiative, which would
lead to bad feeling in neighborhoods;
the law fails to make it the duty of
any public official to prosecute offenses
and we may be certain that no such
official will move in the matter. 1t
will be proper for oranges, wheelmen
or other organizations specially inter
ested in good roads to take up the
matter and arrange to at once bring a
sufficient number of test cases in each
county, and against both those selling
and those using wagons whose tires
do not comply with the law, with the
understanding that when once it has
been made clear that the law will
stand, there must be immediate and
universal compliance with it's pro.
visions. San Francisco Chronicle.

The Good Roads Of Now Jersey.

The great movement for improved
roads in the United States originated,
it is generally believed, in Essex
County, n. j., more than thirty years
ago. Some progressive men in the
Board of Freeholders conceived tue
idea of building system OF hard
roads by the macadam process, and a
special act was passed constituting a
Road Board The bulk of the cost
was assessed upon the county at
large and was provided for in the
annual taxes. Newark paid four
fifths of this tax. There was much
opposition and constant protest, but
the work went resolutely on.
The good results soon became evil
dent. East Orange, Montclair and
other suburbs attracted the best class
of population, and handsome houses
went mp by the hundreds, while
property prices enormously increased
The roads built were of excellent
workmanship, and excited the wonder
and admiration of strangers who drove
over them. Union County subse-
quently procured II law for county aid
to road building, aud the work was
prosecuted there with the same
energy and good results. This led to
the enactment of the law for State aid,
under which hundreds of mil es Of new
improved roads have been built in Ill
sections of the State. In Essex
County tie improvement has gone on
under the State Aid act until the
county is a network Of good roads.
For road improvements projected for
the present year the county will pay
about $4,000.
The law imposes one third OF the
cost Of new roads on the State, ten
per cent. on the property owners and
the balance on the county. BY the
new law townships can petition inde-
pendently of the Board of Freeholders
for State aid, and this will promote
road building in counties which have
been backward by reason of the I'M
Willingness of the county authorities
to assume the county's share Of the
cost.

To Young
People,

Your future is before you.
You wish to make the best use
of it. In order to do this you
must have special training and
preparation. The educated have
a vast advantage over the
ignorant. Without education
you must do the hardest work
and receive the poorest pay. A
generation ago a man could get
along with little education, now
that is impossible. Under
modern systems Of business he
must be skilled and trained. He
must know the laws Of busi-
ness; how to 10 business, and
how to keep sy ystematic records
Of business transactions.

DeKalb County's famous sink hole
is giving the Commissioners no little
trouble and expense. This swamp
perhaps comes nearer being bottom
less than any other spot in northern
Indiana. At least three bridges are
known to have sunk out OF sight, aud
now the Commissioners have given
the contract to Charles Rugman, of
Auburn, to construct the bed upon
which another bridge will be erected.
The work of grading commenced
three weeks ago, aud the dirt which
was filled in it gradually kept sinking,
and by the next day none Of the prev.
ions days work would be in sight.
This method of filling was continued
for several days, believing all the
time that a solid footing would soon
be found, but with no avail. The
earth failing to remain in sight, the
workmen were sent to the woods, and
brush to the depth Of six feet was
piled in the roadway, after which long
logs were laid lengthwise across, with
one end Resting on the solid banks.
On these were fastened planks, and
then the earth hauled in and the road.
bed formed. Several attempts have
been made to ascertain the depth Of
this hole, and it is known to be at
least eighty-nine feet deep. It is be.
lieved to be mucky at least to a depth
Of 200 feet.

Cincinnati River News.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 27.-The
river reports Thursday morning show
very heavy rains during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours over the region between
ParkerSburg and Cincinnati and the
southern tributaries in that section.
The Ohio along Southeastern Ohio has
risen rapidly, but above and below that
stretch of river the changes have been
slight. The Big Sandy is rising rapid
ly and the Kanawha will probably rise
At Cincinnati the river will continue
rising Thursday and Friday, more rap
idly on Friday.
Capt. Grubbs, the coal gauger. is ex-
pected home Thursday.
Plentiful rains have fallen I'D
through the valley, but there is a doubt
as to whether there will be a barge
stage at Pittsburg. 1t is reported that
100000 bushels of coal are loaded
there ready for shipment
Following is Thursdays port list:
Keystone State, for Pittsburg; City of
Cincinnati, for Louisville; Henry NJ.
Stanley, for Pomeroy; Courier, for
Mayesville; Tacoma, for Chic; Chas.
B. Pearce, for Portsmouth.
The Licking river is also rising fast
and run is expected
The Keystone State arrived in port
shortly before Z o'clock Thursday
morning from Pittsburg. She only got
as far as Rochester on the last trip.
She had a splendid passenger list but
had only a fair amount of freight.
The Tacoma brought down a sander
machine from the Friedman Sealing
Company, at New Richmond, Wednes-
day afternoon. 1t will be taken to Fay
& Egan's machine shop for repairs.
Thomas Martin, second mate on the
Keystone State, stopped off at his home
at Sardis, o.

There is a possibility of water enough

Capt. Thomas M. Rees, now In Eu-
rope, has sent letter to Maj. Charles
r. Powell, United States engineer, de-
scribing the way in which river bridges
in Germany are constructed. The let
ter states that in that country the
bridges are erected to the required
height for navigation, regardless of
cost, and that in many cases the ap-
proaches to the structures run par
allel up and down stream similar to
the plan proposed for the Sixth street
bridge here. AT Mainz, on the river
Rhine, the steps In front of the bridge
rise for foot passengers, somewhat like
the steps on sidewheel boat, and the
approaches are up and down the river
at an easy grade. Capt. Rees claims
the arrangement is not an obstruction
and presents an artistic effect The
houses and streets in front keep on the
same level and the bridge approaches
are outside the street. At Frankfort
the houses and grade on one side of
the river rise together, while the OPP
posite side runs up and down stream
to the grade of the street. Capt Rees
says that if similar plans were to be
adopted on the bridges here they would
prove satisfactory without a doubt.
Capt. George H. Atkinson, one of the
local steamboat inspectors, was busy
to-day inspecting 30 boiler plates at
the Park steel works for the river coal
combine. The plates are to be used to
patch boilers on towboats.
Capt. |. N. Flesher, of Cincinnati,
owner of the towboat Annie L., and
the wrecked towboat H. e. Spillman,
which was cut down by Ohio river ice
last winter, will build new and larger
boat than the Spillman. He will
equip it with the Spillman machinery,
which is stored at ,Middleport and Is
good as new. The hull of the wrecked
steamer is being made into a brick
barge.

The d. H. Taylor club of Ohio county
met last evening over Waterman's drug
store, at the corner of Market and
Eleventh streets. The meeting WIS
called to order by President pro tenn
Schenk. There were about twenty
members of the club present. The
main business of the meeting was re-

The Republican county executive
committee held meeting last night for
the purpose of determining the method
OF selecting candidates for the House
of Delegates and other county Offices.
Candidates for several places appeared
before the committee and were extend
ed the privilege of expressing their
sentiments anent the matter. 1t de-
veloped that the aspirants for places
on the legislative ticket were all salts
fled to have the choice made by a
county convention.
There was not the same unanimity
of opinion, however, relative to the
method of choosing a candidate for
Judge of the Criminal Court of Ohio
county. It is understood that it was
in Difference to the wishes of R. NJ
Addleman, who covets the position held
by Judge Hugus, that 1t was decided to
select the candidate for Judge by direct
vote at the primary election.
The committee fixed August 18th as
the date for the suggestion meetings,
and August 25th as the date for the
primary election. Each district will
choose two Senatorial and two Judicial
conferees. This Is a departure from
custom, as heretofore the number has
been one from each district Whether
or not there is in this scheme to over
awe the representatives of Brooke and
Hancock counties, and thereby COM
pass the defeat of Samuel George, of
Wellsburg, for the Senatorial nomina-
ton, is a matter which the future will
determine. The efforts to pull George
out of the race has put the party lead
ers in dilemma, inasmuch as there
are open threats OF rehabilitation in
Brooke county.
The county convention will be held

candidates for the House of Delegates.

SENATOR MARCUS A. HANNA
Ignores the Marshall County Lead
ers tnd Selects w. I'll. Hood for His
Representative There

Ignores the Marshall County Lead
ers tnd Selects w. III. Hood for His
Representative There.
1t was not thought that when the
Marshall county Republicans formed
club and named it the Mathew STAN
ley Quay club that Senator Hanna
would give them such a throw down as
he gave them yesterday. w. H. Hood,
the popular tonsorial artist of Seventh
street, Moundsvile, is probably the best
posted politician in Marshall county,
and his confidence in Hanna has never
wavered.
When others have denounced Hanna
and his methods of conducting the af-
fairs OF the government, as we'll as his
position upon the questions of the day,
Hood has ever stood by him and ex-
pressed his utmost confidence in the
ability of Senator Hanna to manage
affairs satisfactorily.
It now appears that his loyalty is not
to be forgotten. Yesterday the Senator
called the Moundsville man up and had
lengthy conversation with him over
the long distance phone. A reporter
interviewed Mr. Hood but he was very
reticent and would not divulge much
of the conversation, but intimated that
the Senator is rather uneasy about the
result in this State next fall and wishes
him to look after the interests of the
party in Marshall county. The execu-
tive committee and county officials
seem to have been completely ignored
by the Ohio leader, and the selection
of Mr.. Hood is a direct recognition of
the Gum Shoe element of Marshall
county Republicans Just what effect
this will have upon the political af-
fairs of Marshall county remains to be
seen.
