Road Observations.
BY G. w. DONAGHEY.

It might be said that our roads conform to the requirements of the original Arkansas inhabitant S building, as described by Col. Sandy Faulkner, but 1t is not true for they are neither passable when it is raining or when 1t is not rain ing. Tn wet weather they are too boggy and i'll dry weather they are too rocky and uneven. How this fact has so long been overcome is beyond the scope of reason to at once reach a conclusion. If our people had fought for good roads with the courage that they have fought to get over the bad ones for the past twenty years, the victory would long before now have been won. But when 1t is considered that 1t takes a different form of fight tor genuine progress to that of whipping poor team over a mud hole in highway, some dis functions in the two fights might be drawn.

pie problem for us to solve how we
 can drain the greatest number oi
 roads with the small amount oi
 money placed with Us. Drainage
 is accomplished by various meth
 ods ranging i'll cost according to the particular method employed. The cheapest of these methods IS side ditches and cu1verts. In our case culverts and bridges offer more resistance than any other one thing against the completion of reason able amount of fairly good roads. To build these 1t requires lumber for covering and to buy and trans port to the different points needed the required amount of merchanta- ble lumber would more than ex- haust all of our money. Then some other plan must be adopted which will accomplish this all important object of drainage, for 1t must be done if we ever have any roads at all for any length of time.

News Service Without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the claim made by The Chicago Record Herald that its readers en- joy every day in the week, Sun days included, a news service that is without parallel i'll range and completeness. The reason is ob- vious-the combination of the va ried and extensive facilities of the two great dalies, The Chicago Record and The Chicago Times Herald. Tn addition to the inde- pendent news facilities of both pa pers, The Record Herald receives the complete news service of The New York Herald, The New York Tribune, and The Associated Press; and when 1t is considered that its news columns are supple mented by all the special features so popular in The Chicago Record and The Chicago Times Herald, it will be seen that The Record Her aid holds a unique place among the great newspapers of the United States.

The Pine Bluff Commercial quotes from the Cross County Times some of the causes of the removal of the late Capitol Con- mission by the legislature, among which it alleges that Governor Da- wis was opposed to the payment of 5 per cent fee to the architect and endeavored to induce the com mission to repudiate part of 1t. Our information is that the Gov ernor only tried to induce the com mission to rescind an order allow ing the architect $36, 900 on the grounds that the work had not pro gressed far enough to justify such a claim and the commission, i'll or der to sustain the allowance of this account after the protest of the Governor, fixed a 5 per cent for the architect. The commission may have intended all the time the pay ment of this fee but 1t never gave expression to any amount except sswhat is usual and customary" until about the first of March, af- ter various and sundry reports had been made public on the matter. Then 1t made a record of the above named fee and declared that such lis usual and customary. To this action the Governor directed the attention of the general assem- bly, and asked that some more econ omical plan be adopted concerning the building and after a careful consideration of all the records, re ports and actions of this board 1t is supposed the legislature concluded that 1t would be for the best inter ests of the state to remove the whole of 1t and let the Governor call to his assistance more COIL genial board.

To Frauenthal, one of our most observing business men, is of the opinion that cotton will not soon reach the low prices of the past few years. He has formed this opinion from the labor conditions. Labor is very much higher than 1t was few years ago. It is hard to find a farm hand now for much less than a dollar per day.

While the primary principles of mechanical construction i'll road building are absolutely indispensi- ble no fixed rules can be followed by us. We may read all that has been written on the subject and little can be found applicable to our case; but the cardinal principle can be expressed in one word, drainage, drainage, drainage,
 which should ever and always be i'll the mind of the overseer i'll charge of highway construction. If young man had but three hum dred dollars to invest ill the build ing of cottage containing three or more rooms with some porches and yard fence and desired to inform himself by reading the works of the best architects on the subject he would seek in vain for what he most needed. Every thing would exceed i'll cost the cottage he was able to build. So it is with our road building. We may read the works of Gen. Ray Stone, of Byrne, and other successful road builders in this country and they in turn will refer us to Macadam and Tel ford who built roads i'll England at a cost of from five to ten thousand dollars per mile, and by this time, we about reach the conclusion that 1t is useless for Us to attempt fur ther the work of so much magni- tude with so little funds. Yet if necessity is the mother of invention and drainage the cardinal princi-

A very good and cheap plan is as follows for culverts From a post oak tree saw off two cuts I2 or IA feet long, place them across the road at the lowest point about 5 feet apart, never less than two and as much wider as in the judg- ment of the overseer the necessity demands, place at least 4 stringers from one to the other and floor with good split slabs. These slabs should be notched down on the stringers until they are nearly even on top and then we'll spiked with 40 penny wire nails. Such a cul- vert will last as long or longer than any other form of wood and If me chemically done be just as good. Of course the roadway should be graded up level with the top of this and the side ditches trained in to it properly. The logs used should never be less than twelve inches in diameter. As the grad ing of roads only means the drain ing of them it can not be effected krAr
 without gradual slopes. These slopes range from one foot fall i'll a distance of twenty feet to one ir thirty feet from the middle of the road. Probably twenty-five would be well enough for Us. The best way to effect this Is on level ground to cut a ditch whose depth will aver age eight inches and let the inner bank slant gradually to the middle of the road at the pitch above men toned, leaving the bottom of the ditch to answer for the outside O the grade or roadway. This is on l ly a general idea. Different con ditions of course will require diff fereut treatment. As the grading across high places i'll the roadway where it is desired to carry the wa ter through to lower place the ditch would have to go much deep CT than eight inches. In sucf cases the dirt from the high place: i'll the roadway should also be re moved to the low ground i'll ordel to maintain the same uniform grade from the side ditch, but some times this is impractical on accoun of expense and the ditch must fol the time being be left deeper than it should be.
 Every one entrusted to this work should scrupulously avoid all ex pense that can possibly be spared in order that we may build tht greatest distance of roadway tt serve as object lessons for our pop ulace. If they once get few miles of fairly good roads to go ov CT the question will then forever be settled. They will have bette ones ill the future.

TOO mCu WINE IN FRANCE.

French wine growers are to hold
congress in Paris shortly to discuss the
situation of their trade. They consider
it to be serious. 1t was brought about
by two causes. American competition
and the bountifulness of nature. Last
years grape crop in France was very
large. and the quantity of wine pro-
duced was above the average. This
year the grape crop is considerably in
excess of that of last year, and the
quality of the fruit is good The wine
production, therefore, ought to be
above that of last year. But the grow
ers say they cannot afford to gather
the grapes and press them, since the
prices at which light wines are selling
will not pay the cost. There was a
large stock of wine carried over from
last season because of the lack of a
market. Notwithstanding the French
people themselves are drinking more
wine than ever before. In connection
with this surplus carried over the heavy
yield of the vines this year has had
the effect of depressing prices until
in certain interior districts, Perpignan
for one, a good quality of wine is being
sold freely, according to a cable, at
one franc GO cents) per hectolitre go
quarts), the lowest price on record.
How to meet the situation is what the
vitculturists will discuss.
The chief difficulty in the way of ex-
tending the market for French wines
is the competition of California wines
Formerly France had the market of
Great Britain in which to sell her sur
plus, and she found the trade very
profitable. Now Great Britain is TAX
ing every year thousands of barrels of
light wines from California, and the
trade is increasing. The French claim
that the California product is Inferior
that it has burnt. Nat taste due to
the high temperature of the California
climate. But the British seem to like
it. The Californians, too, according to
the French growers, are, exporting
large quantities of "wortsarwhich in
Europe is worked over into a light
wine, one hogshead OF wort. produc-
ing about Ave of wine. Not only is CAL
ifornia selling this unfermented pro-
duct in Great Britain but is laying it
down on the Rhine and at North Sea
ports IN competition with German pro-
duction. A Bordeaux wine merchant,
discussing the matter, is quoted as hav-
ing said that France must meet Cali
fornia and drive her out of the wine
business. or go out of it herself. It is
not likely, however, that California will
be driven out.

Young Man Wins Out.

ut was simply bull-headed luck"
said the young man with the red shirt
waist, according to the Detroit Free
Press. Papa declared that it would
be a warm day when he consented to
my marrying his daughter, and as the
weather record had been broken sew

mark, ] was beginning to lose hope.

Finally, some one limited that 1t
would be a good plan for him to make
good and give us an example of his
skill as a fisherman. He accepted the
challenge and spent three days getting
his tacle ready. He went alone, as he
said he didn't want to be bothered by
having any greenhorns along, and we
waited with bated breath for him to
return.

the other.
