NOTES BY OBSERVER.

In driving over ons Of our best
county highways short time since,
Observer noticed several places where
the road was badly washed as re-
suit of the recent rains. Further OBJ.
servation showed that there is almost
no drainage to our roads-no bitches
to carry off the water, which flows
over the roadbed and does damage in
few hours that will cost a great
deal of money to repair. Indeed,
some of the roads are lower in the
middle than at the sides, and, having
no bitches whatever, become the
drains to carry off the water and in a
very little while are rough and un.
slightly.
The question naturally arises, Are
we making our roads in accordance
with the best methods? No one dis
putes the fact that in the past few
years there have been great improve
ments in our public roads, and most
Of the important highways are being
macadapized in good style. So far,
however, there has been little attempt
at ditching, and it looks as if we ought
to take this feature Of road. making
into serious consideration. Indeed,
some one remarked to Observer re-
Gently that no crushed stone ought to
be placed except where the ,oadbed
was properly rounded and thorough
ly ditched. Another suggestion was
that it would pay to spend large
proportion Of the road money in drain
age and let the macadam 60 until our
roads were made ready for it. An old
saying is that water, not wear, makes
bad roads.

JUSTICE seems usually to travel as
with leaden feet, but she gets there
nevertheless. In Toledo, Ohio, on
Monday five prominent business men
managers Of the several ice compan-
ies-were found guilty OF conspiracy
In restraint of trade under the anti
trust law. They had combined to
put up the price of ice from so to 100
per cent, and the people rebelling
against the extortion, the dealers were
arrested. They were found guilty,
and Judge Kinkade fined them each
$4,000 and sentenced them to a year 8
imprisonment. A promise has been
made them that part of the sentence
will be RENTED if they will refund
the money they have extorted over
and above the legitimate price.
A good many persons think that
the ice dealers who take advantage
of the peoples necessities ought to be
sent to place where there is no ice.

Observer doesn't like to see the
picturesque old stone fences in this
section disappear so rapidly. For a
hundred years or more these stone
fences have been a feature of our
landscape, but they are now going
fast-devoured by the remorseless
steel jaws of the stone crushers and
spread upon the road as macadAm
1t is expensive to keep them up. for
they gradually become undermined,
and boys will make holes in them to
get rabbit now and then. But they
are pleasant to look at and have a
substantial appearance that is sadly
lacking in the barbed wire fence. AS
for the old worm fence made of long
rails, they have almost entirely dis
appeared and rail-making is becoming
a lost art. Years ago fences were oc.
casionally made Of walnut-think of
using such valuable lumber for this
purpose

A gentleman riding along our roads
near Shepherdstown short time
since spoke of the custom in certain
parts of Europe of travellers planting
seeds along the public roads as they
had opportunity. He says that
when they eat peach or plum or
apple or similar fruit they carefully
plant the seed, and in this way the
roads become lined with trees that
supply travellers with delicious fruits,
and at the same time make shady
avenues. Why not introduce this
custom in Jefferson county? In
few years we could have orchards
furnishing delicious fruit free of cost
and all the people could enjoy it.
