For Better Roads.

For Better Roads.
1t is the dear privilege of most
people, the world over, to complain
of the burden of their taxes, but it
is many times the case that the bur
dens imposed by the tax collectors
are not as great as the people will
lay upon themselves and submit to
without a murmur.
In our own country taxes are
light as compared with those many
people are obliged to pay, though
they often seem heavy and, through
official corruption and waste, are in
many instances far heavier than they
should be. But there is no case Of
political graft or extravaganza that
lays. such tax on the people as the
people lay upon themselves in most
country districts in travelling the
bad reads that they seem to be con-
tented with.
That bad road levies tax on
every man who brings load over it
can be proved by easy arithmetic.
Take the example of Big Hill and
Narrow Gap, quite near to Berea.
There come into Berea through the
Narrow Gap an average of 30 loads
day, let us say, for 800 days in the
year, or 5000 loads of bark, ties,
slaves, lumber, etc. Take the case
of load OF ties where II is as many
as most teams pull that hill with.
With the hill reduced in grades TO
what it could be and should be for a
reasonable sum, team could pull
Is or 20 ties as easily as they can
Ia as il is, making at least 80 cents
difference on the load havled. II
there was a gate built across the
road and 80 cents collected for every
load that came through there would
certainly be war.
That would be a tax ana an exor-
oitant one, realized by every man
who paid it, but no more real than
getting load over bad hill that
might be made better. Half dollar
load on good roads would amount
to $500 in a year, and 81 800
of that would bring the Narrow Gap
hill to fine grade to remain forever
and leave $1,000 of that years tax
to apply on the Big Hill or Owsley
Fork. That is, where road is much
travelled the extra labor and energy
expended in moving freight over it,
would, if expended in improving that
road, put it in fine condition for
traffic where a moderate outlay for
redairs would keep it a profitable
road to travel forever after.
Such roads place within reach Of
a market timber, bark, cord wood,
coal and farm products that are too
far back to pay their way out over
the terrible roads over which they
must come. A good road is chiefly
a matter of labor applied to the ma
terials at hand. 1t is only in rare
eases, as for iron bridges, tile, or
cement, that money must be sent out
of the county for road making.
Take the examples of the Big Hill
and Owsley Fork. They need only
the selection of proper route to
give better grade and the labor of
the necessary cuts and fills, and
there are thousands of tons of the
best possible road metal close at
hand to be broken and put in place.
As there is common belief that
good roads can be had only where
there is limestone or some other
good road metal within reach. |
shall in our next number tell some
thing of how our Government road
engineers are teaching the people to
make excellent roads of CLAW only.

na.st Of Christian Thinking.

Our memories are treacherous; we
cannot always depend upon them, but
much OF our thinking depends upon
that which we remember. Christian
character depends upon Christian
thinking. II God himself as the Holy
Spirit controls our memory he must
control also our thinking Thus the
Christian actually has ''the mind OF
Christ" The Comforter helps us re-
member those things which will com
fort In times of sorrow: also that which
will stimulate to greater activity when
the human soul Is Indifferent. He sug-
gests the tactful word at the right
time. He uses our minds according to
our best mental development by ex-
ercislng his will over us and suggest
Ing our lines Of action. Man does not
act until he wills TO act. II our Wills
are subject 10 his will and our thoughts
controlled by his thoughts. then We are
led by his Spirit, and the thoughts Of
God make our lives consistent and
powerful.-Rev. John Timothy Stone.

OUR LETTER BOX



BLOOMFIELD, Neb., June H.-To che
Editor of The Bee The people OF this city
are greatly surprised and considerably In
censed over the published allegations set
forth by one Alice Maude Saunders. wife of
Hon. S. Saunders of this city. in petition
for divorce through Attorney T. J. Mahoney
of Omaha.
The people of this city do not need to be
told that these allegations are false and
contemplate. They know it. No man
lives who has pursued more honorable
career in business or social circles; no man
who is more kind and charitable in all mat
ters no man who has ever gone to greater
lengths to protect family and friends and
to stretch forth generous helping hand in
time of need or adversely.
Mr. Saunders Is successful business
man, but by no means a dshonorable one.
He is a man of very high repute. not alouo
in his home city, but throughout the state.
His social life and moral standing is above
reproach. The people of this city can and
will testify to these facts. His friends are
almost as numerous as the inhabitants of
this city and stand ready to defend his
personal honor in time of need. w. II. N.

into the bottom Of the shell. A few hand
fulls of water brought him to his senses
and then the two eights rowed OF TO their
lighthouses the crimson receiving as much
applause as the blue. Yale's time for :he
four miles was q :S3Ia: Harvards. 22:36.
The 1895 eights will go down in history as
two Of the greatest crews the crimson and
blue ever possessed.
Besides his splendid showing in the big
event Coach Wray had the additional sat
isfaction of winning both the freshman
eight and the varsity four-oared race.
Harvard wins Preliminary Events.
Harvard won in splendid fashion the frst
two races OF the annual Yale-Harvard re-
gatta on the Thames today, these being
the varsity four-oared and the freshmen
eight. These crews rowed magnihcently
and Harvard had to use every ounce of
its power and to play every muscle that
the men had trained for this event The
varsity cared race of two miles went to
Harvard by what is officially declared to
be a length and the freshmen race went to
the same crew by an official length and
three-quarters.
The official time of the races was as
follows:
varsity Four-Half mile, Harvard Z:45,
Yale 2:4S one mile, Harvard $3.50, Yale 5:35;
mile and a half, Harvard $50. Yale S:Si;
finish. Harvard ll:22, Yale 1925.
Freshmen Eight-Half mile, Harvard 2:l2
Yale 2i2: one mile, Harvard 1852, Yale 800;
mile and half Harvard 7:25, Yale 1881;
finish, Harvard $3.50. Yale 1904.
At noon the expectation was that the
varsity eights would row at 4:SO. but the
captains at o'clock will meet and set the
time and direction.
Both races were magniicently contested
This afternoon It was announced that II
had been decided to row the varsity race
up stream, starting at the bridge at New
London and finishing opposite Red Top
This was according to the original plan
The reason for this decision was that the
wind had shifted from the north to almost
south, thus affording both favorable tide
and favorable wind for row up stream
