For Narrow Roads

ssIn connection with the good roads movement
there is an agitation in the state of Illinois over u
popular proposition to reduce the width of country
roads from 50 feet to 10 feet. Why not to 80, or
20 feet? Room for teams to pass is enough"
The above is from the admirably edited columns
If the Sioux Falls Press. Rarely the writer ever sees
anything in the Press which he takes exceptions to
but can by no means endorse the proposition to
make the legal width of the highway 30 feet. How
ever there is a growing sentiment III favor of mar
rover roads. Only in rare cases where the dirt is
@sed for building q grade over low spots is the full
tour-rod limit rosorted to for highway purposes.
Except in cases where filling is needed, two rods
would be ample allowance for the highway, but
there should be legal provision against planting
trees nearer than two full rods from the center
of the road. Bronze and blue grass will in time
come to occupy more and more the roadsides now
over run-with weeds.

Russia Has a Scheme

ST. Petersburg, May 25.-Correspon-
dent of the Express, referring to Adj
miral Skrydloff' S arrival at Vladivos-
tOk, claims to be able to state that
Russia has completed a new scheme of
naval operations in the Pacific, using
Vladivostok for base. Admiral Skry-
dloff, according TO the correspondent,
has been charged with the task of re-
organizing the whole garrison of 10000
men. The fleet will probably be aug
mented by powerful torpedo flotilla,
as sections of several vessels of this
class have been sent by rail to Vladi-
vostok, accompanied by mechanics to
put them together. The possible object
i've of the new campaign is the north
ern coast of Japan, by raiding which
a diversion might be created in naval
operations compelling the japanese to
divert vessels from their Yellow sea
squadron, thus giving opportunity for
the Baltic fleet to break through.

U. S. Population in Six Years.

Washington.-In a letter defending
the estimates of the population recent
ly issued by the census bulletin, Di-
rector North incidentally gives an esti-
mate of the population of the United
States under the census to be taken in
1910, placing the figures at 89,041, 436.
The director says that this indicates
a percentage of increase of 17.2, as
compared with POI in the 1699-l9OO
work.
He says, however, that the estimates
are in no sense a census, nor do they
represent local conditions.
