tFrom l.. A. w. Bulietin.1
after experiment has been tried to de-
termine the best method of treating
prairie road. The difficulty under the
old road law was that there were as
many theories as there were road SUI
pervisors and no uniformity Of action.
There were no engineers to direct or
supervise road building, and after ex-
periments had been tried and after a
great amount of hard work had been
done it was generally found at the
close of any given year that the roads
were in as bad condition as they had
been at the beginning of the year.
The result was that when the farmer
had leisure to market his products and
when prices were the highest he was
cut off from markets by mud roads.
While the farmer in the good road dis
trict Of Ohio or North Carolina or Ten
nessee was hauling to market as much
as he could put on his two horse wag-
on the Illinois farmer was hauling one
half or one-fourth as much with four
horses and making half as many trips.
1t needed no argument to convince the
Illinois farmer that he ought to have
better roads. The problem was how
to get the material to construct them.
The State and Interstate Good Roads
and Public Improvement association,
acting in harmony with the agricultur-
al department at Washington, inau-
gurated a movement in which the ques-
ton of material was fully considered.
in which good road building was to be
under the direction Of competent engi-
neers and in which there should be
well considered action in all the prairie
states. Strangely enough, when this
movement received the enthusiastic
support Of the wheelmen Of the coun-
try and when for the first time the peo-
pie of the cities were giving intelligent
consideration to the road problem
many farmers became suspicious. The
false cry was raised that the good
roads associations were more interest
ed in those who used bicycles than
in those who marketed crops. How
ever, this opposition soon spent Its
force, and the conventions held this
fall represented all parties interested
in good roads.
The cities and railroads are interest
ed as much as are the farmers, and il
all interests combine needed legisla-
ton can be secured, and Illinois will
have as good roads as any state In the
Union. When we have hard roads
throughout the country districts, there
will be less deterioration in farms and
less inclination on the part of young
people In the rural districts to migrate
to the cities.

Recent Conventions Show Renewed
Interest In the Improvement of

The question of better roads has
been under general discussion for 80
years. In most of the eastern states
and in western states like Ohio, where
gravel is abundant and accessible, rap
i'd progress has been made within the
last 20 years in road building. Farm
ers know through long experience with
mud roads the great advantage of hard
roads, and by a concerted movement
they secured legislation that gave
them not only solid trunk roads, but
solid crossroads, says the Chicago In

rial for hard roads was at hand and
where macadamized roads were con-

lance of good roads, but has fallen be-

Unnecessary Alarm.

We don't know who is to blame, but
we feel like censuring someone,
whether it is the housewife who al
lowed the pan of biscuits to burn, or
the one who without due investigation
rang the fire alarm, someone is at
fault
Last Friday afternoon the peaceful
ness of our city was disturbed by the
clang, clang, clang, of the fire bell.
The tapping of the ward indicated that
the fire was in the southwest part of
town and thither the people hastened.
The fire was located in j. j. Cameron s
residence, on Mechanic street. The
fire department was out i'm full force
and with great promptness and ready
for action; but no action was necessary.
The smell Of smoke was observable in
one of the closets where clothes were
hanging, and this constituted the
whole fire We are not crying,because
there was not fire but we are speak
ing of the expense to the city that is
caused by the people who, without
stopping to consider the extent of the
fire, rush to give general alarm. Thus
the city was forced into an expense
close onto $50. 1t seems that we
should all look more to the interest of
the city than this.
We understand that the cause of the
alarm was the burning of a pan of
biscuits in the oven of the cook stove.
This is enough to be alarmedlabout hut
not enough to alarm thelwhole city.
