ROAD SUPERVISION.
Practical Men Needed TO Direct the
work of Improvement.

A. W. Campbell Of Toronto. highway
commissioner for the province OF onIa-
rio. said ut the recent good roads meet
ing NJ Chicago: What we must do is To
organize ourselves permanently. We
must have proper plans. specific meth
ods, concentration of money and en-
erSy. Streets and roads should he
classified according To their require
mcnts. The organization of our forces.
with competent men at the head to see
that the labor and capital are used to
the best advantage, viii bring success
to the movement.
Il don't believe in spending greater
amount Of money. but do believe we
should so systematic the work now to
lie done that it will be placed ON
proper basis. We must do this. and
then we can ask for a greater expendi-
ture.
There has been a great deal of I'M
necessary criticism on the labor tax i'm
the country. That system was adopted
years ago when this country was prac-
tlcally wilderness, and it was really
the best road system for the times The
trouble with this system as il is in OPP
Grafton today is that there are too
many OverSeers. On a stretch of road
ten miles long you will find ten differ
ent kinds of roadbed. Each man is
working TO the best of his ability, but
as they do not know how to build them
in the majority of cases the roads are
usually found bad.
''Thcse road men do not work togeth-
err. If they did they would take ad-
vantage Of the modern ideas and would
construct their roads In different see
tlonS alike, An organization would do
away with this system Of road men. in
asmuch rs it would place the control in
the hands of one man, who could die
tate as to the width. make up of the
road and al the other details that are
necessary to good roadmalling."

Up in Denton county some of the
roads are sandy. The small grain crop
is great Straw is abundant. So it
turns out that ''Strawing" the roads
has been an experiment with road
builders in Denton county this year,
and. judging from stretch of what
used to be very bad road north of the
city OF Denton. it Is claimed the eX-
pertinent is an unqualified success. The
piece of road in question lies between
Denton and the Pilot Point crossing on
Clear creek and up to this year was
almost impossible for heavily loaded
wagon, the sand being several inches
deep. Part of the road was clayed
and another part "strawed," the latter
being done at about one-half the cost
of the former. Both pieces of road
are in fine shape now, that part straw
ed in wet weather being superior to
that clayed. ed.-Galveston Daily News.

What the merchant needs To help
him sell goods is not a picture in the
newspapers of his good building or
good looking face, but weekly advcr-
tisemcnt in the papers Of what he has
to sell and then to invariably adhere as
to price ANA quality to the speciiica-
tiOuS of the advertisement.
Editors have an opportunity to sean
pretty closely the effect of different
kinds of advertising aud to see the eff
feet of neglccting to advertise in the To-
cal papers. The ohServaut editor might
be dropped down into n dozen stores in
a town in which he was an entire stran-
ger. and he could determine in half an
hour any pleasant weekday which OF
the stores advertise judiciously.
Merchants who advertise attract
strangers: those who do not keep a
few old customers until they begin to
learn through the advertising columns
that cheaper and more up TO date goods
are sold at other stores. The merchant
who does not advertise cannot afford to
renew his stock with up to date goods
for he has not sold his old stock, so he
loses his old customers and keeps his
old goods. and all because he will not
advertise"

A county road system properly car
ried out would be of incalculable bene-
fit to all sections of the county. The
highways in most sections of the coun-
ty are in miserable condition. They
have been bad for years. and so, under
the old condition Of things. they would
continue to be. Under the practically
obsolete town system of working high
ways very little money is raised for
highway purposes not one-quarter the
amount that should be. What is spent
is to a large extent misspent, and the
road is never completed and never sat

improvements Made Since the Amer

Senor Yilalon. secretary of public
works. in his annual report shows that
during the Spanish regime only 215
kilometcrs of public roads were built.
mostly in Havana province There
are now 4i0 kilometers in course of
construction. 492 kilometers have been
surveyed, and 1917 kilometers are
projected. All this has been done in
less than two years of American occu-
patton. The estimated cost of all these
road improvements is Sl3.G2G.000. The
carrying out of the work Will be eX-
tended over a number of years. An
office has been established in each
province, with an engineer in charge.
In making the plans for a road sys
TEN the most important localities are
considered. The work Is necessarily
slow owing to-the lack of funds. New
ertheless each piece of road construct
ed forms part of an entire plan. which
will be consummated in time. This
plan provides for main trunk road
the entire length of the island. with
branch roads connecting with the prin-
cipal coast towns This will allow
planters and others to reach the ports
with their products without being com
PEELED to have recourse to the railroads
and will undoubtedly in time result in
a very material reduction in the pres
ent high railway tariffs.
Some valuable lands will soon be
opened up owing TO the roads now be-
ing constructed. The secretary of pub
lie works Is overwhelmed with peti
tions for the construction of highways.
Roads will be first built in the districts
where the greatest number of people
will be benefited.

Snow as a susssituto for Ice

Those who live remote from ponds or
streams are advised to experiment on
storing snow. which makes an excellent
substitute. In many localities this has
been done with satisfactory results and
was the practice in California until the
manufacture of artificial ice became
universal. The sno eau be compress
ed into compact blocks of the requisite
size by n simple press. which IL per-
son with a little mechanical ingenuity
can construct, and if the work is done
when the weather is cold the blocks
ean be saturated with water and allow
ed to freeze, which renders them all
most as good us solid ice. This treat
ment is not necessary, however, as the
snow. when placed in the house and
well packed in sawdust, will solidify
II become almost like ice. In some
continental countries the inhabitants
secure their supply of summer GOODNESS
by rolling up huge snowballs. much as
s%choolboys do. and storing them in the
zee house in that shape. and it is said
they never have Il failure. This meth
cd has, at least, the merit of cheap
ness. as the material can be found at
the door of the ice house.
