TO RELIEVE CAPTAIN LEARY.
The Governor of Guam VIII Likely
He Given Another Assignment

He Given Another Assignment
II is probable that Capt Richard P
Leary, United States Navy. Governor of
Guam, will be relieved of his gubernatorial
duties about the beginning of the next
fiscal year, July /, and detailed elsewhere
Captain Leary will have then been at
Guam nearly year. The reasons FOR the
discussion by the naval authorities of the
advisability OF relieving him have not been
made but it is suggested as one of them
that Captain Leary has been on sea and
foreign service almost continuously for two
and a half years. The Navy Department
does not intend TO retain officers on for
eign shore service longer than the usual
period of sea detail. two years for high
officers and three years for their juniors
Reports just received by the Navy De-
parIment from Captain Leary contain
some explanations of his reasons for is
suing certain orders which have been OBJ
jectionable to the people of Guam and
have caused considerable criticism of his
course. One order forbade the ringing
of the church bel at Agana. Captain
Leary says in explanation of this that
the church was located close to the hos
pital in which were seventeen typhoid
fever patients from the American marine
garrison, who were much annoyed by the
bell ringing
Another and more important order
abolished the custom of suspending all
occupation on church feast days. This
gave great offence and the matter was
brought to the notice of the Navy Depart
ment. 1t is understood that Captain
Leary has been instructed to amend the
order so as TO let the people observe a
great many of these feast days as they
were accustomed to do. The Administra-
tion approves Captain Leary's order abol-
ishing slavery in Guam.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson be-.
heves that with proper development
Alaska can ultimately be made to sus-
tain large population, and he sup
ports this opinion by citing the exam
pie of Finland, which, lying in the
same latitude and with less than a
fourth of Alaska's area, supports p
900, 900 inhabitants, besides export
ing considerable quantities of grain
live stock and dairy products. Mr..
Wilson now proposes to extend his
agricultural experiments into the less
inviting region of the Yukon, and il
his work shall demonstrate that the
soil of that Territory can be made to
yield the foodstuffs required by its in
habitants, what may we not expect
from Alaska's future development?
Gold is there in seemingly limitless
quantities; the fisheries are marvellous
ly rich; vast coal deposits have been
recently discovered-and if in addi
ton to these resources it is found that
the soil will respond to the conquer
ing touch of the American farmer

the most opulent of all our sources Of

The Automobile Club of America
has set out to secure macadamized
road from New York to San Francisco.
1t may never accomplish that, or it
may accomplished it in the remote
future. But one thing is certain. The
automobile, like the bicycle, only in
greater degree, tends to good roads.
When rural communities, hotel-keep-
ers, ETC., found out that bicyclists
would go only where there were COM
Portable bicycle paths, and that they
incidentally spent good deal OF
money on their routes, the rural COM
munities instituted bicycle paths.
The automobile owners are Weather
men. They spend vastly more money
on their journeys. They demand
something more than paths. They
want good roads, with smooth sur
faces, broad tracks, low gradients and
all the rest of it. There is not the
slightest doubt that competition for
their travelling expenditures will
prompt all rural communities. to pro-
vide such roads as they need.
And think how greatly the rural
communities themselves will gaint

GOOD ROADS NOTES.


"YHE Higbie-Armstrong law, So
] called, which was drafted in
the interest of good roads,
has been given fair trial,
and it is generally agreed that it works
well. The sections of the State which
have addressed themselves to road re-
form, in accordance with its provis-
ions, are SO well satisfied that in all
likelihood the present year will SEQ
large accessions to the ranks of what
may be styled scientific road-makers.
Last year the State appropriated
$50, 900 for the cause of good roads.
This year the champions of the reform
purpose to ask for 81, 900, 900, and
they claim-and with substantial ar
guments to back their contention
that New York cannot spend $1,000,-
900 more wisely. Possibly they put
the case too strongly, but this one
thing is certain-the Empire State,
when it comes to roads, is woefuliy
behind the times. 1t ought not to
need an argument at the end of the
nineteenth century to demonstrate
that good roads materially conserve
the material prosperity of common
wealth. But the significant fact re-
mains that there are scores of roads in
the interior of New York which at
their best are WEAKNESS to the men
and beasts who have to travel over
them, and which at their worst are
little better than quagmires. The
work of road repairing in very many
cases is done il slipshod manner by
persons who are entirely ignorant of
the science of road making, and the
consequence is that such work is q
hollow mockery. New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts. California, and other States
which might be named, long ago seri-
ously addressed themselves to road
reform, but our owl. New York, for
some mysterious reason, has Jagged
behind.
The State Engineer and Surveyor
devotes considerable attention in his
annual report to this subject. He
states that the improvements of the
highways under the provisions of the
law in question was one of his impor-
tant duties during the past year, and
that surveys have been made for 142
miles OF roads in fourteen counties,
which will be improved just as soon as
the Legislature passes the necessary
measure He estimates that the aver
age cost of good road building-scien-
tific road building-will be between
$4,000 and $4,000 per mile and in order
to show that these figures are not ex-
travagant he adds that they are twenty
per cent. below the cost of similar
roads in Massachusetts. Itis,proposed
to ask the Legislature to add to the
highway law provision looking to the
maintenance of improved highways by
county officials and to provide State
quarry of trap rock where convlcts
from Sing Sing can be employed In
producing crushed stone for highway
improvements.
Rapid transit for the metropolis, inn
proved roads for the country-th is
one of the demands of the hour.
The city is determined to secure rapid
transit because she sorely has need of
it, because her prosperity depends in
large measure upon it. But she does
not need rapid transit any worse than
the farmer needs better roads.-New
York Mail and Express.
