es. Marvellous stories are told of the
rapid accumulation of wealth in the
West and South, as shown in the
bank deposits, the payment Of mort
cages and the large purchases of
agricultural implements, vehicles
and fertilizers. When one reads
news of this kind it is difficult TO re-
call that as short time ago as 1896
the country was convulsed with COM
plants from the same class that is
now so favored. The change has
been brought about by fine crops
and the higher prices of agricultural
products, and also, We may be sure,
by improved methods of farming.
The extraordinary sales of imple-
ments and fertilizers is proof of this.
1t is within the power of every till
er of the soil to apply to his business
the same methods which have
brought railroads and factories out
of bankruptcy into prosperity. A

will accomplish wonders.
Farming calls for hard work and
plain living, but its returns are the
surest of any occupation, and in
such times the profits can be made
large. 1t can be safely said that in
no other vocation has there been
such percentage of men who have
achieved competence and brought
up their families in decency and re-
spect. The skilled mechanic in cities
may live better and have more money
to spend, but at the end of his life he
rarely leaves even a home, and he
has never had that feeling of indie
pendence that comes to every man
who is lord of the soil. Under the cir
cumstances it is not to be wondered
at that with all the rush to the cities
there is still an excellent demand for
farming land, and every new strip of
territory opened to settlement by the
government is at once taken up.

TO the Editor of the Republican.
The excellent article in the Oakland
REPUBLICAN this week on road-mak-
ing induces me again to call the atten-
ton of the Road Commissioners to
my offer last autumn to drive them
over a piece OF road in this vicinity
which is principally through the
woods, up and down hill, in places
very steep, in others through real
bottom land and which is kept in or
der with the greatest ease owing to
the way it is drained and crested.
The commissioners were most cour-
teous in complying with my request
but was obliged to leave the noun
tains before they had an afternoon
they could give me but have just re-
turned and will arrange to take them
any afternoon they can come between
now and July 10th.
Everyone feels the Importance of
good roads-the faamer even more
than the summer visitor-but farmers
are sometimes easygoing and put up
with bad roads Though good roads
would save their time and their horses
and mean money in their pockets)
while summer visitors will simply go
to some other place where the roads
are better than hereabouts.
This mountain district is as acces-
sable to Washington, Baltimore,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia as such
places as Lenox and has great climat-
ic advantages over them-why should
it not become as successful summer
resort spreading prosperity through
the district by means of summer resi-
dents? And what is there that at
tracts them more than really fine
roads through a beautiful country?
Thanking the Commissioners for
their past interest and THE REPUBLI-
CAN for its voice am,
Very truly yours,
A SUMNER RESIDENT.

The State Census.

The assistant superintendent of the
State census, Mr.. Ogden, is out in a
statement of some of the results of that
work. He believes that this census will
show an increase in Baltimore city's
population of about 5000 souls over
the Federal census and an increase in
the counties of about 10000. And this
increase is the sum total of the re-
suits of the State census! When the

A STEAMER ON THE ROCKS
British Liner Lusitania Wrecked
Near Seal Cove, n. T.

An Understandable Panic Among the
500 Passengcrs-Women and Chill
dren TransrIed Upon-TyFeBty Per
sons Believed to Have Drowned
ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland. June s--
EnveI9ped in thick fog the British steam
ship Lusitania, of the EIder-Dempster
line. bound from liverpool to Montreal,
with 2,eO0 tons of cargo and 500 passen-
gers, was wrecked near Seal Cove, on the
FerryIand Shore, twenty miles above Cape
Race, some time during last night. The
cause of the disaster is inexpIieable at
this time, but it is presumed that the cap
tain thought himself well south of Cape
Race, and in open water.
The ship struck the rocks before her
speed could be reduced Half-clad pas
sengers, who had been thrown from their
berths. rushed madiy to the deck and
tried to lower the Hfeboats. Some French
men in their frenzy drew knives upon the
officers. The panic soon became inde-
scribable, and order was only restored by
the officers drawing their revolvers.
In the meantime. the ship was pound
ing on the rocks and the seas were
breaking over her broadside a babbIe of
tongues added to the confusion. Women
and children were thrown down and
trampled upon. The crew drove coward
ly men from the boats with handspikes
and the women and children were first
landed They were hauled up the cliffs
by the isherfoIk who had gathered at the
scene
So great was the confusion that one
boatload OF passengers got lost in the fog
and it is feared that the twenty people
aboard have been drowned
The crew are stiI on the wrecked steam
ship and she is partly under water. The
salvaging of the cargo has been underta
ken by the coast folk. It is not likely
that the ship can be rehoated-
The scene of the wreck is eight miles
from a point where there is telegraphic
| communication. The roads are bad and
details are hard 10 get
