THE IMPROVEMENT OF
THE COMMON HIGHWAYS.

bulletin New Mexico College of Ag-
riculture and Mechanic Arts.)
Good roads are indicative of a high
state of civilization. The improvement
in h condition Of the common high
ways proclaim, in mute yet unmistak-
able language, the advancement in
h civilization of a country. Highly
specialized industries, which usually
attend upon a high state of c~iviliza-
ton among people, seldom flourish
where means is u~nprovided for a
quick exchange of commodities. AS
the stanard of living in a community
rises, it Don finds expression in a
demand for better rOadS,-roads suit
able for the gentleman's saddle horse
for the family carriage, for the sales
mans road-wagon, for the delivery
mans auto-car, and for the pleasure
seekers and tourists automobiles.
The most natural system to follow
in road building is to begin the i'm
provement in the city or village, work
ing outward in the different direc-
tons on the lines of least resistance,
but at all times striving to reach the
greatest population and the heaviest
traffic.
The road should be placed in
charge of a man who understands
road building n road repair. This
statement equally true whether there
be much Or little money available for
the work. The system which permits
the appointment of meT as road sup
e%rvisors regardless of their fitness for
the position is accountable in a great
measure for poor roads and for the
feeble interest taken in road improve
ment. Probably, there is no more road
work in many counties than could be
superintendent by one man, and that
man could be selected with a eye to
his qualifications for the work to be
done. which would result not only
in better roads, but, also in greater
efficiency and economy. Such a sys-
TEN prevails in many of the older
States of the Union, and it has been
suggested that it might prove most
desirable in this section under our
conditions.
The use of improved labor-saving
machinery in the building and re
pair of the common highways. no
doubt, would result advantageously
to all concerned. To illustrate: if a
machine were devised whereby two
men and four teams, with the ma
chine, could perform as much of a
given kind of work in a day as ten
men could perform in the same time
with teams and the old slip scrapers,
it is evident that the purchase and
use of such a machine, provided. how
ever, that the price was not exorbi
tant, would be most desirable and
would result in much Fur
thermore, if, at the same time, with
such a machine the work could be
done infinitely better. it would seem
to be h height of folly not to invest
in one. The modern road-grader is
just such a machine. The r~oad-grader

died in Berlin, Md, the present home

a wonderful Abird, and her
many admirers who saw her at
Wachapreague, will be sorry to hear
of her death. She was brought here
from South America about fifteen
years ago. She had perhaps uttered
more distinct words, sung more songs
and hymns, and whistled more tunes
than any bird Of her age. Her favor
ties were "Swanee River" II am so
glad that Jesus loves me-" and some
waltz tunes. Strange to say, unlike
most parrots, she was never heard to
utter a profane word.

Telephone Service at Nominal Cost

During the last several years, the
farmers in Accomac and Northamp-
ton counties have made rapid strides
toward increasing the producing
power of the farm, decreasing the ex-
penses and minimizing the work. Rad
ical changes have also been made in
the method of conducting the bust
ness end of farm work. In order to
further this movement, and at the
same time place the most useful of all
farm implements within the reach Of
every farmer, the Diamond State Tel
ephone Company has made special
concession to farmers and country
residents in these two counties, and
will install telephone service in farm
houses at the nominal cost of fifteen
(s15.OO dollars per year. This re-
duction In farmers rates has been de-
cided on after careful consideration
by the officers of the company, and
was made to meet conditions peculiar
to this particular section of country.
The telephone is most important
factor in the business end of farm
work, and with the adoption Of the
special farmers rate it is expected
that within thenext few months more
tele phones will be installed in this vi
entity than was ever expected by the
The installation of tele-
phones in farm houses will, of course,
make the service more valuable to
and residents of the towns,
and in this way greatly increase the
utility of telephone service in these
This rate Will be put into effect at
once, and the farmers who are inter-
ssted in telephone service should
make application at an early date, as
it takes considerable time to construct
ines and install instruments.

Contributions Asked to Fight Railroad
Co. In Supreme Court.

Mr.. Editor II Having been solicited
to secure funds for the purpose here
matter named, l ask that you allow
me space in your valued paper to
make the following statement: Dur
ing the berry season of 1904, certain
consignments of berries were made
by certain farmers in the upper part
of Accomack to Newark, N. J. The
New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk
Railroad Company received the goods
in good condition, but owing to negli-
gence upon the part of said railroad
company, or its connecting lines, the
goods were delivered many, many
hours behind time and in a damaged
condition, consequently small claims
for damages arose against the said
company and warrants were obtained.
These claims ran from $500 to about
$1,000. One of these small warrants
was heard by the magistrate of At
lantic Magisterial District and after a
stubborn resistance by the attorney
for the said company, judgment was
entered against the said company.
The usual policy of spending hum
dreds of dollars in litigation, sooner
than pay the farmers these small
just claims, was pursued by the said
company and an appeal was taken by
the railroad company to the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia, upon
the ground that the said company was
not responsible for produce damaged
beyond its own line, although it could |
and would charge exhorbitant freight
rates the entire route, to the point Of
destination.
If the contention of the railroad |
company is sustained in the Supreme
Court, it will prove serious blow to
every farmer on the shore, therefore,
it would be a wise course if every |
farmer would make small contribu
ton to defray the expenses in fight
ing the railroad company in the Su-
preme Court. An appeal is made to
all farmers, and those who are inter
ested in the farmers, to send their
contributions to the Temperanceville
Bank. Hoping that every one will
realize the Importance of this matter,
/ am
Yours truly
