SAW GOOD ROADS
Il. T. West Tells of York Stat
Variety

II. T. West, who has recently re-
turned from trip to his old home
in Monroe county, N. Y, gives some
information about good roads build
ing in that state, that may be of
some value for comparison with
the roads of this county.
That portion of New York state,
as are many others, is pretty thor
oughly covered with stone fences
along the road. These are now CIV
ing away to the woven wire fence,
and the stones are being crushed and
made into road filling.
In spite of the fact that SO much
effort and work is expended to make
the state roads of that country so
fine, Mr.. West says they are more
dusty than our common roads here.
In that state the commonwealth
pays fifty per cent of the expense of
stone ballasting the roads. The
county pays thirty-tive per cent and
the township or road district the
other fifteen. Whenever certain
district can secure the guarantee OF
fifteen per cent of the expense OF fix
ing up a piece of road, the county
must under the law come up with its
share, and so must also the state.
The roads there, while built
somewhat on the plan of the city
streets of Greeley, are not rounded
up so much and in the center is
placed blind drainage conduit, to
carry OFF the surplus water from
heavy rains.

POTATO COMMISSION
Nebraska Farmers and Others
Visit Greeley District

George G. Dennis of Deadwood,
S. D., general agent of the Chicago
g. Northwestern railway; III. G.
Lyon, business man of Gordon. Neb.
F. NJ. Huntington, .of the same
place, Mr.. Curry and Mr.. Arm
Usher of Valentine. Neb., formed a
party of investigators of the potato
business who were in Greeley the
past week.
Mr.. Lyon is an old newspaper
man, and his initials stand for Hor-
ace Greeley. He is now an extensive
grower of potatoes in his county, and
it was to see why Greeley potatoes sold
so much better than the Nebraska
variety that he came with other
members of the commission.
So far as he could learn, MIR. Lyon
said, the only reason their potatoes,
which he claimed were better eating
than ours, did not sell as we'll as the
Greeley variety, was that they were
not sorted up like those of this sec
tion. There the farmer would sell
his product to the local grocer. SIM
ply dumping everything loose into
the cellar, small potatoes and big
ones mixed. The result was that
they would get about twenty cents
bushel for the stock. There was
never anys holding for better prices
because there was not dugout or
warehouse in the entire district.
So far as sorting the potatoes was
concerned this was looked upon as a
dead loss Through the influence of
Mr.. Lyon an implement dealer in
Gordon put in couple of Thompson
sorters, made in Greeley, and an
exhibition was given with one of
these. a two inch screen was used.
The farmers shook their heads and
said, nay, nay. we will not use that
implement. Why, it would take
away one third of our crop.

PARRY CHOSEN PRESIDENT
 OF MANUFACTURERS
tcoptinned from first Page)

 -->---~----~~>-~>--~-->|-> of our manufactures for 1905 will approxi- mate fifteen billion dollars. fifteen times more than in 1850. while the population ht3 hardly more than quadrupled since that year.
 Mr Metcalf declared that Europe is the great competitor of the United States in the markets of the orld, Germany m particular, having an increasing hold on foreign markets, in which she is close second.
 The Reasons.
 He then considered the causes of this slow progress of the export of manu- factured goods from this country, the statement of which largely suggested the remedies he proposed These were:
 l. American manufacturers have made little effort to extend thir markets abroad
 g. The European competitors of the Uni- ted States produce and pack their goods in form and suited to the markets which they are intended to supply. This is not ably true of Germany.
 3. The lack, particularly in Asia, Oceanic, South America and Africa, of field instructions and machinery through which business transactions may be con- ducted.
 l. The fact that the manufacturers of other competitive countries appreciate the necessity of offering their goods through persons familiar with the lan- guage of the country in which their goods are offered, of having their printed matter in those languages.
 5. The lack of direct shipping facilities to the countries where competitive mar kets are to be found and developed.
 Raw Cotton Producer.
 The United States today is the greatest producer of raw cotton. England is the greatest manufacturer of cotton goods. She buys annually three million bales from this country she manufactures this with English labor into yarns and cloth and after supplying her home markets, she exports manufactured cotton goods to the value of three hundred and sixty million dollars a product greater than that of all the American mills combined. A large share of this product comes back to the United States. The United States produces three quarters of the worlds supply of raw cotton, yet her exports of manufactured cotton last year was s22,- 100000 and a decrease of S10000. .000, GOO from 1903.
 Following this comparison with others covering different manufacturers of this country. Secretary Metcalf closed with declaration of the position occupied by the department of which he Is head to the manufacturing and commercial interest of the United States.

BANKERS SUPPORT
 ROOSEVELT POLICY
SAVINGS BANK ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK WOULD NOT PASS A RESOLUTION TYING PRESl- DENTS HANDS ON RATES.

New York, May 1S.-The Savings Bank association of New York held its annual session in this city today, declined to adopt resolution opposing the granting of further powers to the interestate com merce commission and cheered a speech Former Congressman William J. Coombs of Brooklyn, urging the bankers to do nothing to tie the hands of President Roosevelt. The resolution against ex tending the powers of the interestate com merce commission was offered by Charles A. Miller of Utica.
 Il am democrat" said ex-Congress- man Coombs, but I most emphatically object to this resolution until we have thoroughly debated it. There are two mighty forces at work, and l for one will do nothing to tie up the hands of President Roosevelt. He is doing his best to make the railroads do what he thinks is right. He may be wrong, but if he is he will find 1t out in time. I ask in all earnestness that if we cannot sustain tho President in this contest, don't let us weaken his hands,.
 Great cheering followed this speech and the resolution was sent to the secretary's s desk
