MONTANA HIGHWAYS.
Recent Laws Provide For Their System

Recent Laws Provide For Their System
alto Improvement.
The highways Of Montana, by a bill
passed by the state legislature, are
placed in the charge Of the county sur
veyor, and the old Office Of road super
visor, usually held by an inexperienced
man, is abolished. The act defines the
powers and duties of county surveyors
and provides for their compensation.
By this act each of these officers is re-
quired to keep the highways in his
county clear Of obstruction aud in good
repair and maintain bridges, to make
all plans and specifications for new
roads and bridges, to report to the coun-
ty commissioners on all work completed,
and if the work is done according to
the plans, specifications and contract
be is to draw his vouchers for the same
before payment is made.
The county surveyor is chairman OF
all boards Of viewers Of roads, keeps
the records of road surveys and is the
general superintendent of all roads. he
may employ labor, teams, etc., and has
power to contract for all work not ex-
ceeding 5000 in cost. For larger amounts
the approval Of majority Of the board
of county commissioners is required.
The salary received varies with the
class of county, from $3.50 to $4,000
per year. Viewers and all assistants OF
the county surveyor may not receive
more than s3 per day.

Sixth. severity of judgment tends to make

Judge our fellow-man. so will God judge us.
The evening sermon was especially to the
young men from the text, "Let integrity and
uprightpess preserve me, for wait on thee"
He said that should be the prayer OF every
one. Integrity IL the state OF being whole.
Integrity Of character is wholeness and COM
pleteness. young lady who would not al

company with the most lustful, but one who
would allow privileges with her person was

to be dishonest. A chain is no stronger than
its weakest link. A man is no stronger than

ROADS.THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry Watterson's Idea Is That They Be
Local, Not National.

Henry Watterson's Idea Is That They Be
Local, Not National.
Henry Watterson takes issue with a
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge of road making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times-Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language Of
Colonel Watterson, are those that lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill,
the factory, the school, the church, the
ferry and the market"
This apt remark Of Colonel Watterson
is a condensation, simplifcation, an
absolutely plain presentation Of what In
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads. Garry out that idea, and what
will be wanting? 1t will meet the re-
quirements of the farmer; it will save
the farming element hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars every year; twill meet
the expectations Of the pleasure seeker;
it will add to the value of every foot OF
land in the country; it will be Of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; it will be source of pleasure
and profit to all classes. in all commu-
mites.

General Grant Favored Good Roads.

Nearly 20 years ago General Grant,
in enumerating necessary lines Of pub
lie improvements, named the public
schools and highways. Once, when he
and General Sheridan were in remi-
niscent mood, the old commander said
to Little Phil" speaking Of the latter's
famous ride to the battle Of Cedar
Creek: "Sheridan, if that battle had
taken place after prolonged rain and
there had not been a good pike from
Winchester, you would never have been
promoted to the head Of the United
States army. You would not have reach
ed the battlefield to cheer your men,
and there would have been great de-
feat for the Union forces instead OF a
great victory. That would have left
Meade and Thomas a long distance
ahead Of you in the line of promotion.

Keep the Road Dry.

F. A. Dunham, who has been prom
inently identified with the farfamed
system of modern highways Of New
Jersey, at a meeting Of the Connecticut
Valley Highway association, stated
that poor material well put together
can be made to produce better results
than first class material carelessly put
together. Nothing is more fatal to du,
rability than the drainage Of the road
bed, and more particularly the sub
drainage, which is often neglected. A
macadam road cannot be left to itself
after a completion, but needs constant
supervision.

Wheel Tracks.

According to the statement of the
president of the Missouri Good Roads
association, the people of that state
spent 100000 during 1896 for road
Improvement, while it cost them just
5000. 900 for roads supervisors. In 9th
or words, it cost the state $1,000, 600
during the year for $490,000 worth Of
road improvement.
In France there are $4,000 miles Of
first class roads built by the govern
ment, and about an equal number of
miles have been built by the different
departments, as we'll as thousands OF
miles built by smaller divisions From
the beginning Of the work to the end
there is a system, and responsibility is

A Muddy Road.

One day this week, as teamster was
slowly working his way through the
quagmire commonly known as coun-
ty road between the Cummings hill
and Fossil, he espied. hat in one
Of the ruts in front Of him. As the
headgear appeared to be in fairly good
condition he dismounted to pick it up.
As he raised the hat he was astonished
to hear a voice coming from under it
exclaim: "Hold on That's my hat"
As soon as he had gathered his breath
and wits the teamster asked, "What are
you doing down there?" Which brought
forth the reply: "I'm in big luck to be
where am. There's horse underneath
me. Fossil (Or. Journal.

BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
Why the Farmers In the East Find Their
Business Improbable.


Business Improbable.
A highly important feature of the
highways question is the effect good or
bad roads have upon the local markets
and their sources of supply, says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities aud
large towns of the state there is de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkier and heavier products, such as hay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do so as
far as possible; in most cases it does not.
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned as not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility of getting profitable prices
Tor their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and so farming here no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market. The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that are so hilly and
rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load for horse to draw at slow
footpace.
1t is not that farms in the east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices. 1t
is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are so bad as to make ship
ment unp1ofitable. Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to the
cities and towns would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and cheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good times for all con-
cerned.
