sees their commercial advantage as
well as their scenic attraCtiveness.
Stone roads bring the farmer nearer TO
the consumers market. They enable
him to do the handling between the
wheatfield and the city that he used TO
pay Intermediates to do for him. On
broad tired wagons he wheels over
these model thoroughfares $50 to 225
five.eighths bushel baskets of vegeta-
bles and fruit where, impeded by
roads hub deep with mud, he used 10
find a 80 to 30 basket load an almost
impossible one for his team to haul.
Road Commissioner Budd estimates
that the better conditions-his increas-
ed loads, the saving in transportation,
the dispensing with the commission
man and the delivery of the produce at
the consumers door-haye resulted in
a saving TO the farmer of from $40 TO
500 on each load.
New Jersey puts her hand into her
well filed pockets to help the good
work along. In times past all road I'M
provements were made at the local
expense alone. But today the state con
tributes third of the cost, and the
counties bear the other two-thirds. AT
first the fear that their taxes would
be increased aroused the farmers
against the acceptance of the benefits
of the county act, but it was not long
before they began TO realize the bcne-
fits stone roads would bring them, and
they became quite as urgent for them
as they had been opposed to them. The
appropriation has kept pace with their
enthusiasm, and 1t has grown from
$50, 900 in 1891 to 100000 for the fiscal
year.
The growing zeal for better road ia
cilities is reflected In the use Of this
state fund. Interesting figures on the
point are found in recent address
made by Mr.. Budd before the AutOmo-
bile club of New York city. Not a
cent of the $4,000 fund of 1901 was
used. In 1892 only $4,000 was used
| of $4,000 appropriated, In 1893 a no.
ticeable jump was made. OF the So
600 appropriated ST. 900 was used. In
1894 all of the $4,000 was gobbled up,
The 100000 appropriated for 1895,
1896, 1897 and 1898 each was consum.
ed. In 1899 the appropriation was en-.
larged to $150,000, and that was all
snapped up. The appropriation for
this year is 100000, and it is safe tc
say that not dollar of that will be
| left.

The term turnpike" is of medieval
origin, having been first used in Eng
land to designate graded road, for
the use Of which travellers were ex-
pected to pay toll. A pike across the
road indicated tollgate, where the
traveller was required to stop before
proceeding on his journey. After he
had paid the fees the pike was turned
and he was allowed to go on his way.
turnpike" has now come to mean any
public highway constructed of stone or
gravel. AS rule, however, the term
Is only applied to toll road or one
upon which formerly toll was collected.

Sherbrooke Exhibition.

Perhaps the greatest feature of any
Canadian Fair this season will be the
Ballet Pantomimp entitled "A NIGHT IN
NAPLES" which is to be presented at
Canadas Great Eastern Exhibition, at
Sherbrooke September Bird to Sth. The

novelty, variety and brilliancy will out

expense which would stagger any theat-
rical concern, contracted for the produc-
ton of this stellar number before their
patrons of 1900.
The cast is composed of 20 pretty
"danseuses", all of them charming ex-
ponents of their graceful art. Their
scenery is of the highest order and pro-
vides for the presentation of elaborate
scenic spectaculars among which might
be mentioned "Mont VeSuvius in erup.
ton" The costuming is gorgeous III
the extreme and the different scenes will
be replete with dazzling electric and cal
cium light effects making in all scene
for grandeur and magniticence never to
be forgotten.
In addition to the above the same
company will introduce their new "Bal-

each afternoon whereas both numbers
will be presented at the evening per-

The close of the polls Tuesday will
doubtless signalize the triumph of the
County Republican ticket. OF such a
result we feel assured; but present as
surances must not beget lstlessness or to
any extent paralyze or weaken effort
Every Republican vote in the county
should be polled. While this might run
the majority into the hundreds, every
member of the party should vote and
work the same as if the result was wholly
dependent upon his vote and effort.

BJTTERNILH CHANNEL.

The Merchants, Association Of this city is
asking the River and Harbor Committee of the
House OF Representatives TO give immediate
and favorable consideration 10 the project for
deepening Buttermlk Channel. Under the au-
tholty OF Congress engineers have already sur
veyed and favorably reported on a channel forty
feet deep and twelve hundred feet wide. and
there can be question of the proprety OF
carrying out this recommendation and at once
making appropriation for the work.
Congress has already authorized forty foot
channel at the entrance to this port and made
appropriations for its construction. But forty
foot entrance is largely robbed Of its usefulness
if the avenue of approach 10 Il considerable
wharfage territory is not deep enough TO ac-
commodate the vessels which come here. But
termilk Channel is two and a quarter miles
long twenty-six feet deep and at present diff
cult of navigation for large vessels desiring 10
use 1t because of its narrow and tortuOus course.
Nevertheless, il is important highway OF
commerce. 1t extends from the main channel
down the Bay, along considerable part of the
Brooklyn waterfront where great WharveS are
located which fulfil important office to the
commerce of this metropolis. The larger
draught of modern merchant steamships makes
the use of these wharves increasingly difficult.
AT the same Time lne growing uellldIu lOf
wharfage room in this port drives business
more and more TO the Brooklyn shore in spite
of the Inconvenience. Several of the transat-
lantc lines now tie up there, including the
North German Lloyd whose old piers were de
stroyed by the Hohokcn fire.
a channel twenty-SiX feet deep AT low water
leaves the ships of this and other lines dcpen-
dent on the tides, while the forty feet Of water
proposed by the Governments engineers would
enable any ship which could enter this port at
all TO go at any hour to this important section
of the harbor. The strength of a chain is
measured by its weakest link, and the capacity
of harbor is conditioned not merely the
depth Of its entrance. but on the possibilities of
its interior channels. If Congress really means
to make NewYork an adequate port it should
carry its forty foot plan to a logical conclusion
This is not q mere local interest. The farmer
of the West is concerned as we'll as the shipper
| of this city. Better harbor facilities mean
| cheaper transportation and that means a larger
| profit for the producer. Our grain export bus
| ness is to a considerable degree concentra ted
| along Buttermilk Channel. and the whole coun
| try would be benefited by an improvement
| which would promote the larger, freer and
| cheaper staples on the returns from which the
! prosperity of so many of our people depends
| minor harbors 1t cannot with good grace re
| fuse to keep this most important port up tC
the demands of the time
