Restoring an Old Road.

A California association is making an
effort for the restoration to usefulness
of Ell Canine Real, the royal road, or
the kings highway, which was travel
ed by the Franciscan missionary friars
in the days, more than a century ago,
before the "gringos" invaded the land.
This road was the most direct route
practicable between the pueblos and
the missions. 1t ran through very
many Of what are now the counties OF
the state, and the supervisors in these
counties have been asked to aid the
movement Many of them have con.
scented.

SUGGESTION FOR ROADS.
National Vehicle Tax and q system

National Vehicle Tax and q System
of Road Maps.
State Senator Earle of Michigan is
an enthusiastic advocate Of good roads,
and he has induced several counties in
his state to provide funds for a prac-
teal demonstration Of roadbuilding as
It should be carried on by city, county,
state and federal governments, says
the Philadelphia North American. He
expects to start out next spring as soon
as the season will permit with a good
roads train drawn by traction engine,
which will make q tour Of the central
part Of the state, travelling about 900
miles. Before the start central points
will be selected where the train will
stop and build a sample mile OF good
road.
Senator Earle urges an appropriation
Of at least 81 100000 by congress for
the betterment Of highways, and he
also advocates a national vehicle tax Of
80 cents a year for that purpose. One
Of his schemes Is to have the govern
ment make road maps of every county
In the United States, showing bad
roads in red, fairly good ones in blue
and improved roads in black. He
would have these county maps pub
lished in book form and sold at post
offices for cents. Senator Earle says:
'If wanted to buy farm in a GER
tain locality, my first step for the pur
pose of investigation would be to pur-
chase one of these little maps, and 1
would be very sure that 1 would pur
chase my farm along the route Of one
Of these good roads, for have found
out from observation that it costs II
cents less a mile to transport farm
produce over an improved road than
over bad one"
There is nothing more important
than good roads to the material well
fare Of a country, and it is to be hoped
that congress may have the wisdom to
take the matter up earnestly and make
liberal appropriations in aid of the
good roads movement even If 1t Is
necessary to reduce the sum customa-
rify devoted to the improvement of
waterless creeks.

In the past few years increasing In

caused such an agitation in congress
that men who have their hand on the
pulse OF their constituents have begun
to recognize that an intelligent and lib
eral support of all efforts to give thor
oughfares and highways to their people
will be demanded Of them by those
whom they represent.

The PLOT IHICKENS
Now Milwaukee Is Clamoring for
an Investigation of Minnesota
Grain Inspection.
The Onus of the Movement Consid-
erately Placed on Wisconsin and
North Dakota Legislatures.

When the legislature of North Dakota
cOnvenes on Jan. an effort will be
made to obtain an early hearing for a
bill to be introduced providing for d
committee to inquire into the Mime
sofa state grain inspection system.
When the Wisconsin legislature meets
a bill of a similar nature will be pre-
scented. 1t is proposed to have the legis-
lative committee from North Dakota and
the committee from Wisconsin combine
to facilitate the work of probing tho
workings of the Minnesota inspectors.
1t is highly significant that the idea Of
such an inquiry originates in Milwaukee.
With joint commission from the two
states pushing inquiry and taking evil
dence. it Is believed such a report can
be prepared as will show the people and
the lawmakers Of North Dakota and Wis
consn just how they are injured by the
operation of the Minnesota inspection
laws. 1t is believed such a committee
starting early in the winter could collect
sufficient data to make up =, report which
could be prepared and presented to the
legislature of the respective states before
their adjournment. Following this law
would be passed by which North Dakota
would have grade of it's own, and wheat
going into Wisconsin for storage would
come under the inspection laws of that
state. -
The states will be asked to pay the ex-
penses of their respective committees.
But failing to find any law under which
such an expense can be met, and failing
to secure an appropriation, resource will
be had to the grain men of Milwaukee
and Superior, who will be asked to con-
tribute to a fund for the purpose
The combination of North Dakota Wis
consin interests appears determined ia

Winona, Mimi, Dec. e13.-The Chicago
& North Western Railway company is
now coming to realize the Importance of
the Minnesota & Dakota division of the
road extending westward from Winona
through Minnesota and the Dakotas.: -
Heretofore only the lighter engines have
been used on this division, but it has now
been determined to put on heavier loco
motives and haul longer trains. A large
force of men has been at work for sew
eral weeks past in laying heavier steel
between New JUlm and Sleepy Eye. The
new rails are Of the seventy pound
variety and replace fiftysix and sixty five
pound rails. ~- E.
Another work necessitated by: the in
PRODUCTION of the heavier engines will be
the strengthening Of the bridges. The
bridges between here and Sanborn are
now. sufficiently. strong for these heavier
locomotives, but between Sanborn and
Tracy they will have to be strengthened
and this will be done as speedily as pos
sible. > 4.
It is understood that the anticipated
enlargement of the shops here is now full
ly assured, and the capacity will prac-
tically be doubled. The first work is now
being done in the installation of a battery

PRICES ON REALTY SIGNS
Some of the Dealers Still Think
Them Desirable.

The resolution introduced at the last
meeting of the real estate board in which
all present concurred, to the effect that no
member of the board place a price mark
on property has not settled the matter.
Some jocular members who were not pres
ent at the meeting are concocting all sorts
of fake resolutions to introduce at the
next meeting. These they believe to COZ
tain as much wisdom as the one referred
to above.
One member Of the board in good stand
ing says the placing of price on the sign
boards on vacant lots is protection to the
innocent buyer 1t saves him from pay
ing an eXorbitant price for adjoining. prop
erty. Without the advertisement he
would consume a good deal of time in
placing himself. He must repair to the
offices Of different agents representing adj
joining property and make inquiries before
he can get a definite basis to work on, A
simple statement on the sign board that
such a lot will sell for $500 gives him
starting point as the man with the high
price is not the one who blazens it forth
with the paint brush. 49,

arisen concerning the disposition Of the re-
ward. Mr.. Martinson claiming that he
was promised one-third of the amount for
his services in settling up the case. This
is denied by the men. Each Of the men

amount. They refused this amount and
the money is still in Mr.. Martinson's pos

She was left with four small children, and
to her credit be it said, that these chill

live apart from them for years, but they
