CASTOR COUNTY GOOD ROADS.

| The following interesting facts from
CASTOR county show the progress now be-
! ing made in road improvement in that
| live locality:
| The public roads in CASTOR are worked
| by free and hired labor, superintendent
| by supervisors in each township. Each
supervisor has a supply of tools, includ-
| ing a road pillow. In Cherryville township
the pillow is pulled by 20-horse power
traction engine. The County Commits
sioners are contemplating buying engines
| for all the townships Horses for plows
cost of So per day. The engine is furnish
ed by individuals for the same money
and does so per cent. more work. The
| engine and plow require four men and a
mule to operate them. an engine driver,
pillow tender, man to fire and uncouple
at turning points, and man to haul
wood and water for the boiler.

Convict pnNNpr.

In one of the convict camps of New
Caledonia timber is brought down from
the hills to the sea by means of an odd
railway. When Mr. George Griffith
visited PROXY on his tour of prison i'll
spection, he was invited to enter the
state car of this railway.
There was no engine, but fifteen blue
clad figures, each with halter and
hook rope over his shoulder, came from
one of the dormitories. y long chain
was shackled to the front of the car
The human beasts of draft passed the
halters over their heads and hooked to
the chain, seven on each side and one
ahead At first the line was almost
level, but when we got into the hills
came the collar work. and our human
cattle bent their necks and backs.
For very shame's sake we got off and
walked whenever there was an excuse,
and at last, to our infinite relief the
journey was over. In a distance of a
little over four miles those straining,
painting men had dragged us up 1900
feet. 1t took an hour and three-quar-
tiers to do it.

her TO forget.
She lived far up on the heights in a
white stone apartment house, whose en-

palms and whose windows overlooked
the glistening river. The elevated
trains whirled her through the tene-

ways laid down her morning paper
when she reached the point where the
windows of the dull brick houses almost
touched the iron railing of the road.
