three township trustees. A. F. Daw--
son, Senator Allison's secretary, re-
Gently secured from Secretary Will
son, of the agricultural department, a
large number of special bulletins on
road improvements and construction.
Many valuable experiments have been
made in his work under the direction
OF the agricultural department and
the results of these experiments have
been published together with illustra-
tons, making works of inestimable
value to the person who has any road
building to do. From the auditors of
the state Mr. Dawson secured the
name of every township trustee in the
state. AS there are about 1000 town
ships in Iowa this would make list
of about six thousand names To
each one was sent these bulletins on
road making. They are the most val
liable documents that the trustees
could have at this time and will no
doubt be appreciated and made use
of. AS this work does not actually be-
gin till spring, the trustees will have
plenty of time to study up on the
question as presented in the agricul-
tural department publications.
Through Mr.. Dawson's faithfulness
and energy Iowa is peculiarly favor
ed. No other state in the union will
be so well equipped to improve it's
roads and the result will surely be
evident in Iowa within the next year.
Congressman Haugen says that the
good roads movement may expect no
help from the government this year at
least. Mr.. Haugen is member of the
agricultural committee to which the
Browaell good roads bill was refer
red and he says that the measure will
not be reported. In fact it has not
even been discussen by the committee
as yet and probably will not be this
session. All congress is doing for
good roads at present is to appropriate
about 100000 each year for the
maintenance of good roads commits
sion, whose work cannot be far
reaching to say the least.
The official crop statistics for the
year 1902 show that as an agricultural
state only one state Qllinois) stands
ahead of Iowa in the list of all the
states and territories in the union. In
corn Iowa approaches closely, being

the leading states with their acreage
