Harry &c W1ndt, the explorer, writes
thus Of Irkutslz, which is called the
Paris Of Siberia: ct is an unfinished,
slipshOd city, a strange mixture Of
squalor and grandeur, with tortuous,
lI-payed streets, where the wayfarer
looks instinctively for the 'no-thor-
oughfare' board. There is one long
struggling main street, with fairly
good shops and buildings, but beyond
this Irkutsk remains much the same
dull, dreary-lOOking place that 1 re-
member in the early COS, before the
railway had aroused the town from
its slumber Of centuries. Even now
the place is absolutely primitive and
1nciviIized, from a European point OF
view, and the yellow Chinese and
beady-eyed Tartars who throng the
business quarters are quite in keeping
with the oriental filth around, IN
redeemed BY the usual eastern color
and romance. On fine mornings the
market place presents a curious and
interesting appearance, for here you

DEMAND FOR GOOD ROADS.
Every Section of the Country Inter
ested In Highway Improvement


Every Section of the Country Inter
ested In Highway Improvement.
Martin Dodge, director of the Office
of public road inquiries, Washington,
recently said:
1T is remarkable what a hold the
idea of good roads has taken upon the
minds of the people of every class in
every section In some parts Of the
south this subject of good roads has
actually superseded the race question
in political and other conventions.
"They are begging from far off Alas
ka even for information and aid On
the Canadian side of Alaska, where
good roads have received intelligent
government attention, flour costs So.
In the distant regions, not far from the
American line, the same flour costs $50
because of the expense of hauling over
the existing American roadways.
THE demands of the people through
out the south are forcing some Of the
most conservative opponents of gov
eminent aid in congress from that part
of the country to take an attitude of
approval toward the project 1t is a
different matter to reply in the mega
tive to the farmer who argues that the
same government which gives about
$3O,0O0,000 a year for river and hal'-
Dor improvements should willingly
give $S,000,000 per year for three years
to enable him to build better roads,
particularly when under the terms Of
the appropriation he must eXpend an
equal amount for the same purpose.
'"The farmer, the railroads and al
most every aggregation of capital are
together on this subject. Good roads
feed the railways and in return reduce
the cost of commodities which go to
the farmers Manufacturers are bene
flied in both directions. The rural free
delivery and collection system in it's
final value hinges on the question of
good roads"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-03-10
Rural Delivery Notes

Tie civil service commission and the
postmaster general have approved new
regulations to govern appointments of
carriers in the rural free delivery sery-
ice. Under the new plan a simple COM
petitive examination will be held to
develop only those qualifications that
are regarded as absolutely essential in
a carrier, and the names of those pass
ing the examination will be placed on
the register in the order of their rat
ings and certified accordingly.
Service on the rural free delivery
routes during the fiscal year from July
/, 1904, to June 80, 1905, will require
S13-56o,O00.
The rural mail routes through the
state of Minnesota are rapidly becom-
ing self sustaining, according to re-
ports of those handling the mail for
the local routes. The routes are each
costing the government $50 a month.
The postage on the Increased number
of letters the farmers write and re-
ceive, the various carriers say, is IN
many cases covering the cost of main-
tanning the routes.
