Tramway. instead OF Good Roads.

The engineers sent to Porto Rico to
report upon the roads needed there
reported that it would be cheaper and
better to build narrow-guage tram
ways, rather than to improve the
roads. In this way freight could be
hauled more cheaply than it could be
by farmers using wagons on the pres
emit roads. For, although the cost of
hauling goods may not be considered
by the average farmer, yet it is so
great that it is estimated in Maryland
alone the farmers lose $4,000, 900 year
because of the bad roads.

cured the approval of certain deed
by the then secretary of the interior
of the United States for the purpose
of perfecting an alleged cloud to q
title held by a supposed heir of Nancy
Whitefeather, the original Indian heir
of the property. The secretary was
induced by testimony to perfect"
the title. Dunbar at once stirred up
the whole town, and later the whole
country, by beginning ejectment suits
against the owners and occupants of
the property. The courts have been
occupied with the case until recent
ly. The last suit was instituted at
the instance of the secretary of the in
terror and through the attorney gen.
eral, for whom Thomas J. White, of
Kansas City, acted. The defendant
still has recourse to the United States
supreme court, but it is believed that
the case will not be further prosecut-
ed from the fact that Ju6no Hoolr
decided that the title was secured
from the secretary of the interior
through Misrepresentation.
