great if indeed but little progress This
is Of rs great Importance as ever the
matter of railroad development was.
We have seen the terribly excessive
cost of hauling imposed in this section
by the hills which engineers have never
been employed to go around. Now let
US look for q moment at the matter Of
surfaces,
A horse can pull 6270 pounds on
level macadam road, and it takes five
horses TO pull the same load on the SUI
face of an ordinary dirt road and ten
horses TO pull the load in loose sand or
mud. In other words, it takes five and
ten times the power and investment in
stock and therefore costs from five to
ten times in this section to do the same
amount Of hauling that is done on the
macadam surfaces provided in many
portions OF the United States-in New
Jersey, for instance This is only con
sidering the matter of surfaces. Now
put together the excess cost Of hauling
on the public highways on account of
the hills aud the surfaces, and the enor-
nifty Of this cost and the drain upon
the section are apparent. Apply the same
principles, the same excess Of cost, to
railroad transportation, and the enor-
nifty of the thing from an industrial
point of view is seen. The combination
of bad surface up steep hill such as
we have in the hill regions furnishes
the acme of industrial ferocity, being
enough TO totally prevent agricultural
profits. which 1t does accomplish com
pletely in some districts.
Business is competitive, agricultural
and country business as well as any
other. The products Of these sections
nre sold at the worlds prices. and it IL
plain that these sections cannot COM
pete in raising crops-cotton, corn, hay,
grain, meat, in numbering, milling, dali
rying, etc-or in the offering Of attrac-
tions to settlers with sections provided
with intelligent, modern road systems.

gNSURyEYED ROADS.
THE NECESSITY FOR PROPER GRADES
AND SURFACES,

Enormous Extra Cost In Hauling
over Roads Not Properly Graded.
The Expense of Moving Products
ON URimproved Highways.
In his ninth annual report the COM
missioner of public roads Of New Jer-
sey says:
The United States government ex-
perts say on the subject of unsuryeyed
| roads:
Many roads of this country were orig
inally laid out without any attention to
general topography, regardless OF grades
or direction. Most Of them remain today
| where they were originally located and
| where untold labor, expense and energy
have been wasted in trying to haul over
them 1t is a great error to continue to
follow these primitive paths with public
| highways The proper thing to do is to
call in a good engineer and have the locn-
| ton so changed as to throw the roads
| around the ends or along the sides Of the
steep hills and ridges instead of continu-
ing to so over them.
The question is, Are we following the
| primitive paths?" If we have not
| changed them we are certainly doing
so.
| To illustrate the enormous extra cost
| Of bauling over such unskillfully placed
roads and to get an idea of the obstruc-
tiou that these old highways place in
the way Of progress and prosperity one
| may observe the accompanying cut
showing the consequences of the hills
Of these unsurveyed roads.
| II will be seen that what one horse
can pull on level requires two horses
! to draw when hill rising two feet to
hundred is reached, requires three horses
| TO draw when hill rising four feet to
| a hundred is reached, four horses when
a rise of six feet TO hundred Is en-
! countered and requires six horses to
draw when hill rising ten feet to a
hundred stands in the road. The enor-
nous excess cost of hauling on these
roads over roads on a level is therefore
apparent. The legal rate in many sec
tons is to 4 per cent maximum, be-
You'd which grade is not allowed to
20. Grades of even this steepness are
the exception, roads being kept to or
IL per cent as far as possible. By the
most ordinary surveying the roads Of
any section outside of mountain dis
! tricts can be brought to reasonable
grades. The government and all other
authorities urge sections using these
primitive paths" TO correct them by
| proper surveying
General Roy Stone of the government
service said several years ago Of what
he called the chill tax" "The people
have paid this tax for hundred years,
and yet they wonder why they are
poor" 1t is apparent that it is the duty
Of the thinking people of this section to
bring about a revolution in the systems
of public highways of the section here

Mock uelpfuIness.

Many busy housekeeper knows the
irritation arising from the entrance
into her kitchen on some particularly
busy morning of a spick and span
guest, who asks in tone OF conven-
tional kindness, isn't there something
l can do TO help you?" The question
by its very infection demands the
equally conventional answer, Nothing,
thank YOU"
The worker utters the polite fib with
the hope that it will be forgiven her
and wonders al the same time il her
would be helper is blind TO the beds 10
be made, the rooms TO be busted and
the dishes to be wiped, not TO mention
the peas to be shelled and the great
pile of mending waiting for the scant
leisure of the afternoon and the tired
evening
So in the work of philanthropy and
of the church the tentative, II suppose
there isn't anything can do is poor
comfort for weary and perpleXed work
ers. A fresh mind might solve the diff
ficult problem. \ volunteer teacher
might manage the mischief loving
boys. An unsolicited gift would put
new courage into the disheartened
treasurer. Even a spontaneous word Of
praise would help lift the burden of
responsibility, sometimes almost intel
erable.
Whoever really wants to be Of serv-
ice - in the kitchen, the club or the
ehurch-does not have to ask. Can
help?" She finds her own task. and 1t
is half done before any one knows that
it is begun. Even the impulslve mis-
takes of the eager worker are less trou-
blesome than the safe inactivity of tie
idler. The mock helpfulness that waits
10 be formally introduced 10 its work
is generally mere helplessness, and for
the offer Of such service the housewife
and the world have a common answer.
There's nothing you can do. thank
you!-Youth's Companion.

PRESIDENT JOSEPH r. SMITH.

Church as to POIygamOus
Marriages.

Inasmuch as there are numerous
reports in circulation that plural
marriages have been entered into
contrary to the official declaration
of President Woodruff of Septem.
Der 25, 1890. commonly called the
manifesto, which was issued bv
President Woodruff and adopted
by the church at its general con
ference, October 6, 1890, which
forbade any marriages violative of
the law of the land. l. Joseph +.
Smith, President of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
hereby affirm and declare that no
such marriages have been solcm
nized with the sanction, consent
or knowledge of the Church Of
Jesus Christ of the Latter day
Saints, and
hereby announce that all such
marriages are prohibited, and if
any officer or member of the church
shall assume to solemizc or enter
into any such marriage he will be
deemed 10 transgression against
the church and will be liable to be
dealt with according to the rules
and regulations thereof and ex-
communicated therefrom.

The Output

The output is the keynote
to profit In deciding upon
price at which to sell, a
manufacturer, no matter
what article be has to offer,
considers how many be is
likely TO sell, aud bases his
charges accordingly. 1t is
quite reasonable, too. fla
tailor sells only two suits of
clothes each week, his in
come must come from the
profit of these two suits. If
he can, however, double or
treble his output without
materially increasing his
working expenses, he can
naturally afford to make the
profit on each suit much less
Again, this output decides
the buying power. 1t is
ouly necessary to state that
there have been manufactur-
ed and sold over

(By the Associated Press.)

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Judge
Parker expects to go to New York
on Thursday and to return on Fri
day. No announcement has been made
as to the arrangements for the trip
and Judge Parker's reason for leav-
ing Rosemount was not known today.
1t is understood that he will take
apartments in some New York hotel
and confer with political friends.
For several days it has been rumor-
ed that Judge Parker was planning d
trip to New York to call upon the
members of the National committee
1t was said also that he might remain
there and take a hand in the running
of the campaign, for the purpose of
bringing about more harmonious re'
lations between the men at headquar-
tiers but it is believed here that the
candidate instead of Strengthening out
real or imaginary differences has un-
der consideration important plans of
campaigning intended to change COM
pletely the working methods in some
sections of the country.
Results of the Maine election arc
gratifying to the Judge and his politi
cal friends who visited Rosemount to-
day. Those who have talked with
him say he is greatly pleased at the
largely increased Democratic vote
and feels that there was sentiment
displayed there which may be e1-
pected to develop throughout the
country and show in more materia
form in doubtful States.

The amendment was adopted.
The amendment also provides that

liable to suspension. 1t is not incum-
bent upon the State councils to accept
this new law, but it is recommended
to them for adoption.
