when Good Roads Will Come.

Nearly every paper we pick up nowadays
has something to say about good roads b'i'
what is the use to say anything? Everyone
knows we need better roads and good roadS
cost money. The only way we can get good
roads is for the county court to appropriate
a sufficient sum of money and get some one
who knows how to build a road and give
him full control Then we can look Tor
good roads, and not before.
The above paragraph is endorsed ny
the Oakland Republican, which II says
is the language of "an exchange"
Under current auspices and plans II
continues
the condition of our roads will remain
the same from year to year. People sPeh"
the winter complaining about bad roads ana
,husinp the county commissioners and road
supervisors, but as soon as spring comes ana
the roads dry up they feel instant relief, as
if the troubles of the winter would never re
turn. and begin howhng about high tax
rate and Il waste of the peoples money ON
the roads.
Good roads will come, but it will be when
everybody wants them and learns how to
make and keep them up and gets wiling |"
nav for them In the meantime millions OF
dollars will be sunk in mud never to he
seen again.
The JOURNAL doubts this outcome 50
long as the doubly taxed farmers SEND
representatives to Congress to vote their
money away to rivers and harboiS
forts and battleshipS
Applying to Garrett, whose real estate
is presumably worth millions, the rr-
cent calculation of an old Maine fan mcr
we find that one battle-ship. costing Il
millions, Is IA practical contiscatlon OF
the equivalent of nearly the entire real
estate wealth of that county.
And remembering that a battlc-ship
must have ample Wine and dining
room, dancing and promenade space, 1t
is very expensive establishment to
maintain Indeed, it is to be seriously
of Garrett county business effort and
labor for one year will keep battle
ship going during same time.
The main business of these ships is to
carry their compliments of gorgeously
uniformed taX-eaters to exploit their
elegancies and hospitahtieS i'll foreign
waters.
The call for these extravaganza es for
next wear is over 100 millions, and the
gentleman who has Garrett cOunty :
vote to cast in Congress Will vote that
sum away, as usual.
OF this great sum big fraction Is
wrung from the earnings of farm labor,
to say nothing of at least 10 per- rent.
which goes ont of its unprotected
pockets into the hank deposits of the
protected interests.
Hence, it is really not Il matter OF
willingness on the pant of the people,
but after paying taAes-direc' and i'll
direct, and pampering the trusts, hrE
hor" nothing left Jor ro"d$ :
The more rational conclusion, then,
is-good roads will come when the
people stop sending representatives to
Congress who practically vote their
money ont IF the conntIY.

Anti-Merser Case Decision.

ST. Paul, MINI. Aug. 2.-Judge Lo-
chern yesterday in the United States
Circuit Court handed down his decision
in the case of the state of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities Com
pany, the Great Northern Railway
Company, the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company, and James j. Hill, as
president of the Northern Securities
Company. and individually, in which
he sustained the contentious of the
defendants and dismissed the bill of
complaint of the state. The judge re-
fused the iniunctions asked by the
state of Minnesota, to restrain the Sc
curities company from voting the stock
of the two railroad companies, or eth
er of them
This decision affects the results Of
the federal governments victory in
the Circuit court in no way whatever.
The federal suit involved the same de
PENDANTS and the same general state
of facts, but was based on a totally
different contention of law. The fed
eral suit. in which the Securities com
pany was beaten, was prosecution for
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law passed by the federal congress.
The state suit, in which the Securi-
ties company wins, was based on an
allegation that the defendants violat-
ed acts of the Minnesota Legislature,
forbidding the consolidation of paral-
lei and competing lines of railway.

Denver, Aug. Yesterday marked
another epoch in the history of the
new Moffat road when the Colorado
Utah Construction Company, which is
building the road, let the contract for
the construction of the temporary
track over the continental divide to
Streeter & Lusk of Chicago.
The consideration for the construc-
tion of the road bed is announced at
S275 900. Streeter & Lusk will sublet
portions of the work and pay premiums
for rapid work. The work of the
switchback, as ii is called is to begin
Immediately and the contract states
that dirt must actually fly by the 18th
of August. There were six other firms
which bid for the work.
The work on this branch of the line
will be largely in rock and the cost per
mile will be high. The switchback will
begin near the mouth of the tunnel on
this side Of the range and will extend
over into Fraser canon on the other
side of the range near the west side
opening of the tunnel. There will be
about 1900 men employed, and the
work is to be completed by May 1st OF
next year.
The road is to be temporary. to
take the place of the tunnel, which
cannot be completed inside of two
years. The switchback will be in it.
