S5o,ooo,0o0 Bond Issue.

Few people realize what this means
to the farm values of New York state.
The plan is to improve n mile IN
ten of all the highways in all OF the
counties in the State and expend the
money at the rate Of $5,0OO,OU a year.
so as to have complete highway I'M
proverlent in the State of New YORK
within ten years from the beginning
of the work.
Under the present method of pay
ment the State, county and town pay
for a road costing $4,000 a mile as fol-
lows:
The State pays fifty per cent. of the
cost, or $4,000, by annual tax levies.
The county pays thirty-fTe per cent
of the cost, of $500, by annual tax
levies.
The town pays fifteen per cent. OF
the cost, OF $1,000, by annual tax leVles.
This system is so burdensome that
but few miles of road are built ana
these only in the towns having tne
highest assessed valuation, and the
towns having low assessed valuation
are unnecessarily Disseminated against
on account Of their inability to pay for
improved highways of this character.
Under the bond issue, the annual
interest is fixed at three per cent, with
q two per cent. sinking fund-that IS,
the bonds run for fifty years and are
paid off at the rate of two per cent.
Der annum. Thus the total annual
charge on these bonds for interest is
three per cent. and sinking fund two
per cent, that is, five per cent. per
annum. A mile of road costing $4,000
would he paid for as follows:
The State would pay $500, or five per
cent. of $4,000, in it's annual tax levy.
The county would Jay $40, or five
per cent. of $500, in its annual tax
levy.
The town would pay $50, or five per
cent. of $1,000, in its annual tax levy.
This method of payment enables q
town with q low assessed valuation
to have built Immediately just as wide
or EXPENSIVE road, without excessive
taxation, as is built III any other part
of the State, and to have the roads
built and completed within ten years
and have the use of the roads all OF
The time that they are paying for them.

A Common Fault.

According to the report of the Good
Roads Commission the people of Hi
nois have spent approximately $75,O00,-
600 on their wagon roads during the
last twenty-five years. and yet these
roads are in little better condition now
than they were twenty-five years ago.
Obviously therehas been a great waste,
which is ascribable to the makeshift
methods of a comparatively young
community and its neglect of a scien-
tifc study of the road problem.-Chi-
cago Record Herald.

Manager John L. Bright of the
Citizens Electric Company Re-
turns From the East. h
WORKING FOR ELECTRIC ROAD
Bright Outlook for the JOINING of
Kendall and Lewistown With
Steel Rails.

Manager John L. Bright of the Cit
zens' Electric Company, returned Sat
urday night from Columbus, Ohio,
whittier he went for the purpose of
interviewing some capitalists who
had previously been interested in the
Lewistown-K Kendall Electric road pro-
ject. He saw his men alright and
while he is always conservative when
speaking Of future business enter
prises, he informs the democrat that
the chances are exceedingly bright for
the beginning of work on the road
within thirty days.
The only point upon which the east
ern capitalists are in the least doubt
full is the ability of the electric plant
located up on Spring creek to furnish
sufficient power for the road. While
Mr.. Bright has no doubts on that
point, he requested that they send out
an electrial expert to look over the
plant and ground and this they prom
ised to do. A gentleman from Chi
cago is expected this week. If his re-
port is favorable, and there is very
little doubts on the subject, the road
will be started as soon as a few pre-
liminarieS are completed.

A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.
The People of This City Should Pat
rOniZe Band Benefit Concert.

The band benefit concert to be given
in Culver's hall next Monday night
should be accorded a most generous
patronage. Thare are two good and
sufficient reasons for attending this
entertainment.
In the first place, it is going to be
one OF the greatest musical treats ever
given in LewiStown. Those having in
charge the active arrangements of the
program are exerting themselves in
order to provide attractive and special
musical features. In the second place
by encouraging the band boys, there
will be music on the streets during
the summer evenings.
Lewistown ought to supporta band.
The members Of the band have kept
together under difficulties and for the
last two or three months have been
practicing assiduously. Several OF
them have been compelled to go into
their own pockets to buy instruments
and music and it is now time for the
public to show their appreciation of
this determined spirit by giving the
boys boost with an overflow house at
their concert next Monday evening.

UTICA NOTES.
(By our Special Correspondent

(By our Special Correspondent j.
Miss Mamie David died at the Da-
vid ranch on the upper Judith on
Saturday afternoon, as the result Of
serious throat affection complicated
with lung trouble. DR.. o. f. David
was the attending physician. The
deceased was twenty-siX years Of age
and was the adopted daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G. G. David. The funeral
services were held at the David ranch
on Sunday morning and the funeral
cortege reached Utica at two o'clock.
The interment, which was attended
by large number Of friends of the
bereaved family and the deceased,
took place at the Utica cemetery Sun
day afternoon. Miss David has made
a large number of friends by the ami
ability of her disposition and is sim
cerely mourned by the residents Of
Utica and vicinity.
The snow storm of last week, which
continued with severity for several
days, makes things look brighter for
the farmers end the ranchers on the
Judith and insures a plentiful supply
Of water for the coming season. Ow-
ing to the continued fine weather
the ground was extremely dry and
shape however as soon as the first
warm weather arrives and farming
operations will commence early owing
to the absence of frost.
Sheep and cattle wintered well on
the upper Judith and but little hay
was used in feeding. The stock in
terests of every description are in good
shape and the cattle and sheepmen
look for good returns this season.
The cattlemen in this section are
realizing that it is necessary to take
better care of the stock since the
fencing of the open range and conse-
quently beef steer will be in shape to
put on the market earlier this season
than heretofore.
A meeting of the voters of the
Utica school district was held on Sat
urday for the purpose OF nominating
candidates for the office of school
trustees, Martin Messner and G. w.
Trask received the nomination. The
election of trustees will take place on
the first Saturday in April. The
action of the meeting did not receive
the approval of the entire district and
there promises to be some interesting
complications later on.

DIAMOND ELEVATOR
DESTROYED BY FIRE

KANSAS CITY. Mo.-The Diamond
elevator in the East bottoms was des-
tnoyed Saturday night by a fire. The
building stood beside the Kansas
City Southern tracks and was about
100 yards from the repair shops Of
that road. The flames were not com.
mEnicated to any other building.
The elevator stood outside the city
limits and. there being on water ser
vice there. nothing could be done
10 check the flames. Fire equipment
from Kansas City tried TO reach the
scene but the apparatus made slow
progress ia the maze Of cross roads
and blind lanes which are numerous
in the East bottoms and had to give
up the effort.
The loss on the elevator and its
contents was about $4,000. The build
inEs capacity was only about $4,000
bushels Of grain. and al the time of
the fire il held about 5000 bushels.
Seventy-fiye per zen Of this was
wheat and most OF the remainder was
barley. The building was valued at
S25.o00 and was insured for $4,000.
