MONEY IN GRAVEL ROADS.

Northwestern producers pay the av-
erage railroad for rail transportation
of produce to city markets an aver
age of less than / cent per ton per mile
in freight charges more commonly
about three-fourths of 1 cent per
ton per mile.
The cost of transportation by wagon
over ordinary dirt roads in Minnesota
Is 20 to 25 cents per ton per mile.
The difference between the iron rail
charge of three-fourths to 1 cent per
ton per mile and the dirt road charge
of 20 to rs cents per ton per mile, ap-
piled to 200,000,000 bushels or about
6,500,000 tons, of Minnesota farm prod
ucts, amounts to a big margin of cash.
If the average farm load of produce is
hauled by wagon five miles, the saving
at 20 cents per ton per mile, or 81 for
five-mile haul, reaches $6,500,000 on
every years crop.
1t is out of the question that wagon
transportation can ever be reduced to
as low a cost as 1 cent per ton per
cents per ton per mile with very lit
tie study and skill in road building.
Hennepin county, Minnesota, has the
good fortune of having George w.
Cooley, president of the Minnesota
Good Roads society, as it's county en-
gineer. During the past two years he
has done some excellent pioneer work
in the construction of gravel and stone
wagon roads in Hennepin county. AS
a result, he has succeeded in reducing
the cost of hauling farm produce over
Hennepin county farm roads from the
former 20 to rs cents per ton per mile
over common dirt roads to to IL cents
over gravel roads and to 5 to cents
over stone or macadam roads.
If every Minnesota county did as
well, and thereby could report a re-
duction of about IL cents per ton per
mile in the cost of hauling Minnesota's
200O00,OO bushels of farm produce to
market, it would be the greatest eco
nomic reform ever attempted or
dreamed of In the Northwest to date.
This vast practical reform would put
into the hands of the producers a total
of $4,000,000 in net profit per annum.
The saving of IL cents per ton for
every ton of farm produce hauled one
mile would perhaps increase the net
profit of the average farm from 10 to
20 per cent, and thereby increase the
net earning power and true value OF
the farm by that percentage.
The saving of $4,O00,OO0 per annum
in the hauling of the states farm crop
would pay 5-per cent on an investment
of $S0,OOO,000 in good gravel and stone
roads. Engineer Cooley in Hennepin
county has constructed gravel roads in
Hennepin county at cost of $500 to
$4,000 per mile, according to the dis
i tance and cost of the gravel. At an
average of $500 per mile, the 10000
600 investment would build 100000
miles of scientifically constructed
gravel roads, with an average width OF
twelve feet and an average depth OF
six inches OF gravel. In other words, ii
would furnish each of so counties an
average of about 1000 miles of first
: class road; network of highways
that would save the farmers of that

THE SECRET OF THE PLACE.

A little path winds saunt'ring to our door,
All through the clover;
Sea touches soothe your cheek and kiss
your brow,
AS you come over.
The sea and earth embraced catch you
up, too;
Here they love each other. Here how
they love-You!
And all day long
A little birds song
sInterprets you the secret Of the place:
"Ohl but life Is sweet. sweet!
Life is sweet! Sweet!'
The sea is like tossing daisy field,
Darkling and whining;
The daisy-feld's a sun-f1ecked sea of
foam,
Ts<eat' ming and bright ming.
All differences there are beneath the sun,
How they melt in music! How they here
are--Onei
Where all day long
A little birds song
Interprets you the secret Of the place:
ssOh but life is sweet. sweet!
Life Is sweet Sweet!''

NO MONUMENT TO ARNOLD.

Did 1t ever occur to you, dear reader,
that there are scores Of people walking
the face of the earth who are fruit
full of thoughts and nervous energy
that they have to get busy, no mat
ter whether their acts are along right
or wrong lines? One of these Is Gren-
vile M. Ingalsbe, lawyer and histor-
ical critic, of Sandy Hill, N. Y. IN
galsbe has been staying UP nights cog
itating over the fearlessness, gener-
osity and spirit of Benedict Arnold.
and the other day proposed that rec
ognition Of these qualities be placed
upon an American monument. IN
galsbe was not lynched, though If he
had made any such statement within
thirty years of the close Of the Rev
dictionary war, he would have been.
IngaIsbe and some others-for he
has little band of ollowers-argue
that the good men do, as well as the
evil, should be remembered. Years
ago a monument was erected on the
heights of old Saratoga, now called
Schuylerville, where was fought one
of the most decisive battles Of the
Revolution = where Bourgoyne was
stopped in his devastating march along
the valley of the Hudson, with New
York as his goal. Historians agree
that it was the inspiring leadership OF
Arnold that won the fight at Saratoga,
yet his great service is ignored on this
monument at Saratoga heights. Four
inches are made for the statues of the
four Americans who were the direct
ing generals and three are occupied.
The one vacant is meant to record the
fact that there was fourth and that
he is nameless. Now it is that Ingalsbe
and his followers propose that Arnold's
figure be placed in the vacant niche.
These misguided Americans argue
that Arnold was ubiquitous on that
field, leading assaults upon the enc
my's works at the point Of the bayo-
net, dashing from one point Of the
field to another and assuming COM
mand wherever he found troops. 1t Is
recorded, too, that at the supreme
moment Arnold displayed generosity,
chivalry and martial spirit by saving
the life Of the German who had shot
him.
Let all of this be remembered and
given full weight. Even then the Ben
edict Arnold of later date cannot be
forgotten, the Benedict Arnold who ar
ranged with Andre to betray his coun-
try at an hour when the tide of war
might have so turned as to give George
III. the chance to weld the yoke Of
British sovereignty about the neck of
the American people. Had Benedict
Arnold been claimed by death that
splendid day at Saratoga, when VIC
tory perched upon his banners, his
countrymen would have inscribed his
name on the roll Of martyr heroes with
those of Warren and Montgomery as
one of the bravest of the brave. But
Benedict Arnold lived to disgrace him.
self by attempting to betray his adopt
ed country. In charity let those who
can believe he had suffered mental
collapse before this act of high treason
was planned, yet no American patriot
can countenance the building OF a
monument to the man who came so
near putting an end to the republic at
the very sunrise of its existence.
