The Good Roads Movement.

much attention and has been col
lecting statistics and making de-
ductions therefrom, says that bad
roads in this country cost the peo-
pie who use them not less than
$65o,ooo,ooo annually, which is
tax OF $3.50 per year for every
man, woman and child. But this
tax falls chiefly on the 100000
farmers, and to them the cost
amounts to more than $40 per
capita.
The movement to secure better
roads in this country has been
gradually taking form and to-day
there is widespread interest
among the people in the same. A
bill is now before Congress which
proposes to create in the Depart
ment of Agriculture bureau to be
known as the Bureau of Public
Roads, which is to take charge of
and promote this highly important
work. The bill is known as the
Brownlow bill, and provides that
the National government shall
within reasonable limits cooperate
with individual States and counties
in the actual construction of per-
manent highways, paying a part
of the cost. The bureau is to be
manned by capable experts, civil
engineers, etc.
Once established, this bureau
will begin its work through max
ing Investigations and experiments
in regard to best methods of road
building and best kinds of road
making materials. Short stretches
of object lesson roads will be built
in various States, probably some
what similar to the State road
building now carried on in Massa-
chusetts, where an annual appro-
priation is divided among various
counties and towns, with view of
ultimately secruing splendid high
ways in all directions.
Provision is also made in this
bill SO that any State or county
may apply to the director of the
bureau of public roads for cooper
alton in the actual construction of
public highway. In such case
the director is to investigate the
situation, and if it is found of suffic-
lent public importance to come
within the purposes of the law the
work is to be undertaken. The
bill provides that half the expense
of construction is to be paid by the
United States, and the other half
by the State or county applying
to the government for this CO.
operation. This great scheme, if
carried out, means the appropria-
ton of large sums of money, and
the bill provides for the setting
aside of $40, 900 of government
funds to be drawn upon as occasion
requires.
Should the public roads bureau
be established and liberal appro-
priation be made general era of
good roads construction would no
doubt follow in the near future.
While the farming interests of the
country would reap the first bene-
fits by securing greater economy
in the transportation of heavy
produce to railway stations, COM
mercial and other interests would
also reap great benefits therefrom.
The desirability and benefits of
good roads are apparent to all, and
the good roads movement should
have the support of all progressive
citizens.-MaxWeiPS 7akiSman.

"gempest Tossed"

ssTempest Tossed" the next play to
be given by the Walter Sanford Com
pany of players at the Orpheum today
and tomorrow, is dramatic story of
land and sea, all the scenes occurring
on the rock-bound coast of Maine. 1t
is full of touching pathos and natural
comedy, a vein of which ripples over
the entire play
The drama opens at the home Of the
Preston's on the beach, and evolves a
tale Of woman's love and mans selfish
Mesa story full of stirring incident
and thrilling situations. while at the
same time never losing it's atmosphere.
1t tells of fathers villainy and a
daughters effort to undo parents
black deeds. 1t is a story Of intense
heart interest and tears relieved by
the natural humor inherent to the
quaint fisher folks of Maine. The vii
lain of the play is one of those accom-
plished scoundrels who hesitates at
nothing to gain his ends. The Kisses
from the gallery show the detestation
in which such characters are held. and
the deafening applause which follows
his defeat, indicate the strength of the
different scenes. The heroine is the
confiding daughter of fisherman nam
ed Tom Preston, and the plot reveals
the efforts of Richard Wentworth to
get rid of the fisher girl, who is 'his
legitimate wife. The humor of the
play is supplied by Zachary Pegg. a
one-legged sailor, Cy Long, the village
pumpkin, and Polly Perkins, the inn
keepers daughter. This QUAINT COM

Wharf Light Needed.

A coroner's jury held an inquest last
night at the Police Station over the
body Of Carl Schussler. the old German
who was found dead in the harbor on
November 81. A verdict was rendered
to the effect that the deceased met his
death by accident.
The jury recommended that in view
of the fact that other similar deaths
have occurred at the place where the
deceased was drowned, to wit, near the
Hackfeld wharf. that the Superintend-
ent of Public Works install a light
there.

II must be borne in mind that there Is a
limit to the amount of water which can be
drawn from an artesian basin, and that
there is no such thing as an inexhaustible
underground supply. The gradual failure
Of the wells which supply the city of Den
yer clearly illustrates this fact. So great
a demand was made upon this basin be-
tween the years 1884 and 1890 that 1t has
been estimated that II all the wells were
now plugged the water-bearing strata of
the basin would require forty years to re-
cover the saturated conditions which ex-
listed when the first well was sunk.
In the eastern part Of the country the
value and extent of underground waters are
illustrated by the enormous quantity used
in the city of Savannah, Ga. In 1888 the
entire supply Of the city was drawn from
wells yielding $3.50. 900 gallons a day. a
total for the year Of 2,135, S43, 900 gallons.
In the course Of time this supply some
what diminished and 1t was suspected that
the flow was obstructed in its entrance to
the wells. The pipes were accordingly
flushed by forcing into them water under
high pressure, and the flow was markedly
improved.
The study of underground water in its
relation to the effective water supply OF the
country is one of the most important de-
partments of the work of the United States
geological survey. 1t is carried on In the
arid regions, where water for irrigation is
OF the greatest value; in the middle west,
where grazing and successful farming
largely depend upon it, and in the east,
where an unpolluted supply for domestic
and municipal use is yearly becoming a
more serious problem.
