TRANSFORMATION.
other forces are Fastening the period
of highway bettcrmcnt The continued
bad roads of the past two years, caused
by the wet seasons in the Mississippi
valley states, have very materially
affected the commercial interests of
this section. The idea that good
roads" could be constructed and main
tanned by merely grading and draining
the surface of the ground has been dis
PEELED. and it is now evident that it
will be necessary to surface these roads
with some durable material which will
render them permanent and efficient
for traffic during all parts of the year.
and especially those seasons when IL e
roads are most needed for the move
ment of products. During the wint, +
and spring Of this year 1908 wagon
transportation in many of these rich
valley states was almost wholly sus-
pended for weeks at Il time. Long

a cry would 90 up if the railway traiilc
of the country were suspended Tor any
such period by reason of II failure to
provide properly constructed railways
to meet the conditions of all seasons OF
the year.
Business men are learning by eX-
perience that improved highways are
primarily essential to uninterrupted
trade and to their commercial prosper
ity. Their organizations are giving
active consideration to the problem OF
building durable public roads leading
to aud from the trading centers of their
respective communities. Retail mer-
chants are seriously affected by bad
roads, which frequently entail loss OF
business, or at least prevent proilta-
bic seasons trade. When country
merchant is thus affected the effect IN
