PORTS OPEN ALL YEAR.
Fjords in the Arctic Regions of Nor
way Never Frozen So as to
Block Navigation.

HAMMERFEST, Norway, July 20.
-(William E. Curtis in Chicago
Record HeSald) Persons who want
to see the fjords of Norway thorough
ly should take the regular mail steam
ers. which call at all the Bmall ports,
and take a mouth instead cf a week
for the voyage. The boats are small,
but clean and comfortable, and only
occasionally have bad weather-very
seldom in the summer. They wind in
and out of the narrow passages and
because of their size can navigate
where the larger tourist steamers
are not able to go, and therefore the
passengers on the latter miss some of
the finest scenery.
Voyage to the North Cape by the
tourist steamers are limited to a few
weeks during the midsummer, when
the sun is supposed to be visible at
midnight in the arctic regions, but
steamers run regularly all the year
way around the Cape to Archangel,
Vadso and Horningsvaag, the arctic
ports of Russia. The fjords never
freeze, so the navigation is always
open, and there is more or less travel
even in midwlnter between the civil
lied portions of the arctic regions.
The fact was unknown to me, and
assume that other people are equal
ly ignorant. / was under the impress
sion that everything froze up soii,
as it does in Alaska, early in the fall,
and remained so until late in the
Snrjp ,uIt h.
ney enough to go away went to Il
warmer climate to spend the winter,
and that those who had to stay hi
bernated like bears. But that is fai
from the truth.
II you will take your map and ex-
anime the north coast of Europe with

eral towns east of the North Cape on
the White Sea which are wide open
365 days in the year, and do more
business in the winter than during the
summer months. They do not sec

Good Roads for Farmers.

drawbacks to rural life, and Tor Inc
lack of good roads the farmers suffe,
more than any other class. 1t is OBJ
viously unnecessary, therefore, to dis,
cuss here the benefits to be derived
by them from improved roads. Suf.
fee it to say. that those localities
where good roads have been built are
becoming richer, more prosperous,
and more thickly settled, while those
which do not possess those advant-
ages in transportation are either at a
staudstill or are becoming poorer and
more sparsely settled. If these con-
ditions continue, fruitful farms may
be abandoned and rich lands 60 to
waste. Life on farm often becomes,
as a result of "bottomless roads" j"
isolated and barren Of social enjoy
ments and pleasures and country
people in some communities suffer
snch great disadvantage that ambi-
tion is checked, energy weaked, and
industry paralyzed.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable;
they eeonomize time and force in
transportation of products, reduce
wear and tear on horses, harness and
vehicles, and enhance the market
value of real estate. They raise the
value of farm lands and farm pro-
dncts and tend to beautify the coun-
try through which they pass; they
facilitate rural mail: delivery and are
potent aid to education, religion
soeiabiiity. Charles Sumner once
said, "The road and the schoolmas-
ter are the two most important agents
in advancing civilization
The difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference between profit and loss.
Good roads have a money value to
farmers as we'll as political and so
cial value, and leaving out conve-
nience, comfort, social and refined
influences which good roads always
enhance, and looking at them only
from the almighty dollar" side, they
are bound to pay handsome dividends
each year.
People generally are beginning to
realizs that road making is public
matter, and that the best interests
of American agriculture and the
American people as whole demand
the construction of good roads, and
that money wisely expended for this
purpose is sure to return.
Road making making is perfected
by practice, experience and labor.
Soils and clays, sand and ores, gray.
els and rocks, are transformed into
beautiful roads, streets and boule-
Yards, by methods which conform
with their great varieties of charac'
ters and with natures laws. The
art of road building depends largely
for its success upon its being carried
on in conformity to certain general
principles.
1t is necessary that roads should
be hard smooth, comparatively level
and fit for use all seasons Of the
year; they should be properly located
