For years biologists and scientists, In

discover convincing proof that the in
land sea was once a part OF the great
Pacific ocean. Parties OF scientists
have lived on and travelled the shores
of the big lake. but none OF their dis

THE FARmER AND STATE.
National Aid For Building Wagon
Roads.

Four States, New York, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey and Connect
cut, have in the past ten years spent
about sIo, 900, 900 as State aid for
building wagon roads. About co.
900, 900 has been added to this sum
by the counties and towns where
the State roads were built, and
about $4,000 miles of State roads
have been completed in these four
States. Pennsylvania last year APP
propriated 50, 500, 900 for the build
ing of State roads. Wherever State
roads have been built the selling
price of farm lands has been in
creased from 40 per cent, to so per
cent, and even more in some cases.
The 1880 miles of State road al
ready built have been of such bene-
fit to the farmer that they have
caused a great demand for more
good road. Five States found it
good to aid in the building of wagon
roads By State appropriations. Why
should not the National Govern
me1t aid in building roads in every
State in the Unionp Congressman
Brownlow of Tennessee has answer
ed this question by introducing in
Congress bill appropriating sa4,-
900, 900 as National aid for build
ing wagon roads. This sum is
available at the rate of So, 900, 900
year for three years, and is dis
tributed to each State according to
its population, except that no State
ahall receive less than Saso, 900.
The States or counties receiving
this money must add like amount.
This appropriation will build be-
tween 5000 and 1000 miles of
splendid National road, and will
build from 100 to 500 miles of hard
road in each State of the Union.
II seems to many farmers that it is
time for the National Government
to aid them, and they hope the bill
win become law.
