desperate, and resorting to methods
which are, to place it in the most char

them nothing, as the conservative
,oters of Rosebud county, tired and
Disguised with the efforts of the Car

as a man it would be difficult to
tind--Robt. J. Guy of Pease Bottom.

his parents, moved to Colorado, later

gagged in farming and stock raising.
Mr.. Guy served as deputy sheriff UNI
der, Hugo Hoppy, the first appointed
sheriff OF Custer county, and also UNI
der T. H. Irvine, the first elected
sheriff OF the same county for several
terms. In the selection of a sheriff the
people cannot be too particular. To
execute the duties of the sheriff $ Office
properly requires d man possessed of

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
The Burden Of Their Cost Should u

Tho Burden Of Their Cost Should Bs
Alike on All tho People.
Il has been estimated that 500, 600,
900 tons Of farm produce are hauled to
market annually in the United States
and that tho cost Of marketing 1t 10 S2
per ton, or Just about 81, 900, 600, 600.
This is not money paid out but is the
value of the time spent by farmers with
their teams in marketing crops or what
these men and teams would have earned
II they had been hired for cash sto do
this amount Of hauling. The secretary
Of the farmers national congress and
the United States department Of agri.
culture agree In estimating that about
60 per cent of this vast amount, or
$500, 900, 900, would be saved each year
II farmers were able to do this hauling
over good roads.
This, then, is the amount Of the an.
nual mud tar to which we have been
submitting, says the Cedar Rapids (Ia.
Gazette. Railroads. telegraphs and
steamboat lines have been assisted by
the states and subsidized by the govern
ment but nothing has been done for
the common country road. The farmers
alone have had to build country roada
without assistance from the cities, from
wealthy corporations OF from the state.
Every citizen will be benefited by the
construction Of good roads, directly and
Indirectly, and every taxpayer should
contribute his share to their cost. No
wonder the farmer opposes the good
roads movement, if he alone is to stand
the expense. He has rightly suggested
that he should be assisted through the
medium of state road tax, under sys-
tenn Of state aid, as now employed In

Fifty Miles to Market.

his load, O cover over his horses and q
waterproof coat on and starts of to mar
ket. He may 20 30 miles before he finds
q market that suits him, or he may
know in advance Just where he Is going.
You do not often see anybody driving 90
miles through rainstorm in the United
States to find market for a load OF
hay, but it is not at all uncommon to
sec farmers wagons 40 or 80 miles from

weather for that purpose. Their roads
are just as good then as at any time

Four or five years ago the town OF

several hundred dollars an acre and re-

chased them at that price. This has
been such an object lesson to their
neighbors that understand something
like 81, 900, 900 will be spent this year
in other parts Of Queens county and

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.
The Employment of FREQ Labor Gives the
Best Results.

The Employment of Free Labor Gives the
Best Results-
Commenting on the employment OF
convicts on the public highways, the
New Orleans Times. Democrat points
ont that the best results have been OBJ,
tanned in road building when the best
free labor only has been employed. II
says:
Road construction Is science re.
quiring more careful study OF the sub
ject than is generally imagined. The
prevalent idea that any one can build q
good road will not hold good. The
matter requires study, care and thor.
ough knowledge of the soil aud country
through which the road is to be built.
The department Of agriculture has late
ly been doing good work by laying be-
fore the people exactly what Is neces'
sary in road construction.
The employment Of convicts In road
construction is very popular just now.
as Offering simultaneously solution OF
the two troublesome problems Of what
to do with our prison population and
how to improve our highways. In view
Of the fact that the convicts in New
York, Indiana and other states are kept
idle, as the law makes no provision for
their support, it is well that Louisiana
should take some steps to utilize hers
when it has them on its hands, and
road construction seems an ideal en-
ployment for them.
On the other hand, the experience OF
those states which have been most sue
cessful with their roads is that only
the best labor (and convict labor 10 moi
the best) should be employed in their
construction and maintenance. No state
which has made any material improve
ment with its highways has employed
convict labor, and no state which has
employed that kind Of labor has secured
much improvement in its roads. The
best results have been accomplished by
road taxes and the giving out OF con-
tracts
