Good Roads In Maryland.

The following communication, which ap-
peared In recent number Of the Washing
ton Star, will be found Of interest to our
readers:
The citizens of our beloved Washington
should "rejoice and be exceeding glad" that
the officials of Montgomery county, Mary.
land, have awakened to the Importance Of
good roads, and have secured the services
of that talented expert and successful rural
improver-Mr. Randolph Rapley. II his
plans for the improvement of what Is known
as the New Oolesville road are carried out 1t
will be one of the most level grades OF any Of
the roads leading from the city, extending
ten miles out. He | 8 engaged at present In
raising the stone bri dge over the Northwest
branch of the Anac ostia, thereby eliminating
the heavy grades from that part of the road.
When contractors failed him, he, like true
hero, shoudered the responsibility and did
the work with his own farm employees. The
word hero Is here not misplaced. The man
who improves the ways Of the people is bet
ter entitled TO 1t than the destructionist
who kills by scientific methods. Such pub
lie spirit Is entitled to the highest praise.
From the elevated bridge, looking up or
down the stream, stretches view that must
be seen to be appreciated. II Is well worthy
OF the pencil oil the best artists. Some Amer
lean Gainsborough will some day delineate
its beauty.
Mr.. Rapley's next effort Is TO extend Gar
roll avenue In direct line from Cycle OF
Jackson cottages to the bend In the road near
the new buildings of the Seventh Day Ad.
ventists by high bridge over the beautiful
Sligo river.
The Adventists association must have
evoked the numerical power of seven. Some
seventh son must have been inspired to lead
them to the healthiest spot on Gods foot
stool, to say nothing OF the soul-elevating
beauty of the stream above and below the
bridge for mile each way. These beauties
can be viewed by visitors In carriages, as Is
indicated by q sign on Sligo avenue. That
avenue Is very narrow, but perfectly safe.
The grand scenery Of the North west
branch extending to the Burnt Mill, dis.
lance of over two miles, can only be enjoyed
by pedestrians. Seekers of the picturesque
will be delighted with the scenes which pre-.
sent themselves In quick succession.
| hope the energetic mayor and town
council of Takoma will see clearly the great
benefits to this flourishing corporation from
the bridge over the Sligo. 1t will aid in
making one Of the most delightful rural
drives through the healthiest region around
Washington, In fact, not surpassed any.
where, II we may Judge by the great age
the "oldest Inhabitants" the Davises, Craw
fords, Clarks, Jacksons, and others too nu-
merous to mention, have attained.
II Is only necessary TO facilitate travel in
order TO develop this beautiful as well as
healthy part Of the national capitals sur
roundings. TIBER.

The Cotton Growers Of the South have
done so, but will do so no more; they have
organized.
The Fruit Growers of California and

Shoemaker Law Should Be Repealed.

At recent meeting of the Enterprise
Club of Montgomery county farmers, held
at "Rock Spring." the home Of R. B. Farqu.
har, the Shoemaker Road Law was brought
up for discussion, and as usual at these meet.
ings, the individual opinion Of each mem.
Der was asked for. Without exception, it
was answered in the negative, and very
strongly condemned as being a measure
from which the farmers and taxpayers do
not receive just return from the money ex.
pended.
Aside from the thought that the law does
not bring the result that is sought, 1t was
the opinion that the law was so framed that
the county was not the recipient of a just
return Tor the increased taxation.
Granting that the different miles Of road
which have been and are to be constructed
are more permanent than most of those 10
the county, the Club holds that the perma.
nancy is more than Offset by the fact that
with the same amount of money expended
under more economical and judicious sys.
tenn could make many more miles of road
throughout the county, which in reality
would be more serviceable to the people at
large than the one mile situated here and
there in the middle of other unimproved
road.
1t was very clearly demonstrated that one
mile of road would really be OF no benefit
to the farmer in hauling heavy loads, If that
one mile is situated as most of them are in
place where the condition of the roads on
either side Of the improved mile is such that
at certain times of the year no heavy haul.
ing can be done over them. Whereas, if
the 5000 or $1,000 that are spent on this
one little strip were used In permanently
improving several miles, the people would
be the direct gamers and in a short time
there would be enough good road in the
county to show that we had gotten the full
value OF our taxes. AS it is, a large per.
centage of the people will seldom, if ever,
travel over these pieces of road, for which
they were taxed and for which they get
no returns.
Even as an example of model road they
are Of no value. AS every taxpayer knows,
the taxes at present are so high, and the
county 30 much in debt that it would be
unwise to incur any more expense than
possible, so if we tried to initiate this lavish
method of road building the county would
be so debt ridden in few years that it would
be impossible for farmers to pay their taxes.
Believing that the Shoemaker Road Law
is an unjust demand on the taxpayers of the
county, and that 1t is very wasteful expen.
diture Of money, the Club hopes that in the
near future the people rs whole will re-
alize the fact and demand Its repeal at this
or the next Legislature.

Elevator BuFned.-Late in the after.
noon oil Thursday OF last week fire con.
sumed the large elevator plant Of the Ernest
Darby Elevator Company, together with a
large number of bushels of wheat, corn, &C.,
stored therein, situated at Seneca, this coun-
ty. The loss is estimated at about 5000.
The amount Of insurance partly covers the
loss. Nothing but the books Of the com
pany was saved from the building The
origin OF the fire is unknown.
In close proximity TO the burning build
ing stood the large warehouse Of Mr.. W. b.
Tschiffely in great danger Of taking fire.
On account OF barrel Of gasoline standing
out in the open near the fire, the crowd now
gathered there was afraid TO approach the
warehouse to make an effort TO save it be-
cause of the probable explosion oil the gaso-
line by reason of the adjacent heat. Upon
suggestion, rifle ball was shot into the
barrel, and its contents began 10 issue and
take FIRE. In this way the danger was re-
moved, the crowd went 10 work and saved
the warehouse.
