COST OF BAD ROADS.
SOME STARTLING FACTS AND FIG

Our Poor Highways Said TO Cost Us

Rural Mail Delivery.
Poor roads in the United States are
costing the people annually the enor-
nous sum of $65O,OO0 600 which is n
tax OF more than 81 year for every
man, woman and child. This amazing
fact is pointed out by Martin Dodge,
director of the bureau of public road
inquiries of the department of agricul-
ture in Washington, says the New York
Herald. He advocates the construction
of brick track roads with convict labor.
AS a result OF the good roads move
ment, which has been largely stimulat-
ed by the efforts of the department of
agriculture, the road question is ut
present receiving remarkable degree
OF active interest, as indicated. for in

This is wholly in line with bill before

same purposes
Mr.. Otey declared, I'm view OF our

A careful study of the road problem
in detail reveals some important and
significant features. While good road
stone is found in a very few places in
this country, good clays are found in
nearly every locality.
IF these abundant clays," Mr.. Dodge
argues, "can be used economically to
build good roads, they will greatly as

nent Chicago real estate man.
In STRENGTHENING out her distinguished

home I'm Herkimer county, n. Y. She
searched through old, musty church
records and the archives OF the coun-
~. She rummaged about I'm the attics

weeks and months I'm libraries, mined
ancient letters ana books from dusty
chests and waded through the files OF
faded newspapers. It was trying

Interesting bits of war history and ro-
nance which compensated her for her
trouble
After she had finally pieccd the
whole historical family quilt together
here is what she found:
That her known relatives numbered
020 persons
That she hnd nineteen ancestors who
fought I'm the war of the Revolution.
That one branch OF her family has
occupied the Folts or Voltz homestead
In IIerkimer county for 1872 years.
With this Information Mrs. Callan
applied for membership I'm the Daugh-
tiers OF Founders and Patriots. To the
president OF the organization she sub.
mitted proofs that she could comply
with the following requirements for
membership:
THE ancestors must have settled In
this country between ZOOS and May 10,
1867.
Admission can bc gained only when
the founders were on the paternai side.
"All the ancestors aud their success
sive offspring must have been loyal

THE applicant must furnish pub.

All these facts were established by
Mrs. Cailan and were finally accepted
as genuine.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

long become active competitors with

British market with fresh meat and

Little has come OF the moves that were
behind these plausible stories. but now
there really seems 10 be some basis for
them On the authority of the London
Daily Mail ii is alleged that Russian
beef is soon to be exposed for sale In
the United Kingdom. Special steam
ers have been built, subsidies granted
by the imperial government and all
preparations made TO begin the ship
ments. Libau has been selected as the
port OF embarkatiOn. and going via
the Kiei canal, these fast steamers can
land their cargoes In Liverpool and
London in three days at the most; with
good runs In less time At present 1t
is said no attempt Will be made to
transport the cattle alive to the British
coasts, but chilling chambers of the
most modern and approved type have
been built in all the new ships, and the
hope expressed is that owing to the
short shipment it will be possible to
land the Russian meats in much better
condition than the American and in
that way establish n market demand
for 1T right at the start. American
meat, however has obtained well
grounded place In the British shops.
