In the 702 miles of improved roads
are included $50 miles of township
roads, at an estimated cost of $3.50 per
mile, and 1872 miles of country roads,
most of which were formerly toll
roads, at an estimated cost of $4,000
per mile. The first improved road in
the county was the National Road
built in the years 1887; but that
was not completed except in a few
short patches. The roads were kept
up by the two or four day labor and
land tax and donations along the line
The roads were improved to some ex-
tent by grading until about 1S49 when
a little gravel was used on a few
roads. In 1852 the Legislature passed
a turnpike road law under which
of turnpike companies were
and then constructed under
later turnpike laws. Some of the toll
pixies were abandoned and have been
since kept up by the townships, the
others have been purchased by the
county and converted into free pixies.
Wayne County ranks among the
first counties in Indiana in amount of
gravel found as well as in the quail
ty. Owing to the ample natural gifts
which are to be had in this county
it has roads which are well thought of
by both drivers of vehicles and auto
mobiles. There are very few roads in
he county which have NOT receivad

HUMBLE POTATO

1t May Become the Leading
Resource of the HooSier
Soil Shortly.
GIVE LIGHT AND POWER
DENATURlZED ALCOHOL TO BE
THE MOST-SOUGHT AFTER PRO.
DUCT OF THE AGE-ExPERTS
NOW AT WORK

Wayne County farmers may soon be
greater potato raisers than growers
of wheat and corn.
While the potato crop of Indiana
each year is worth anywhere from
100000 to s6,00o.Oo0 and amounts
TO 100000 to $4,000, 900 900 bushels,
these figures, large as they are. offer
an indication of what it is expected
the potato will do for the State in
the future.
Lighted and heated by common gar.
den potatoes, to say nothing of gain
ing its mechanical power from the
same source-if that is not the achi-
evement of Indiana within few
years, it will not be the fault of the
agricultural department OF course,
the expected result will be obtained
through denaturized alcohol. and
since the agricultural department rea-
lies that the Central-Western States
are in position to benefit tremen-
dously from the production of this
material, it has already set about de-
veloping those plants which can best
be grown to contribute to the new
industry.
On account of its richness in the
desired qualities the potato is the
most promising raw material for the
manufacture of denaturized alcohol.
and the department, therefore, has
sent experts to Europe to study the
big tuber which grows there and to
arrange for securing seed and trans
planting it in this country This Eu-
ropean potato has small value as an
e dible, but being several times as
large as those generally seen in this
country, it is naturally just what is
wanted for the production of alcohol.
1t gives an immense yield, it being
claimed that enough of them can be
grown on one acre to produce 60 gal
Ions of alcohol which means light,
heat and power for a farm household
for a year Secretary Wilson and DR..
are enthusiastic over this
big alcohol producing potato, which
they expect will come as an extremely
important addition to Indiana'S potato
interests, practically amount
ing to new industry in itself.

Manila, Oct. 20.-A radical change
In the system of provincial govern
ment is imminent if the Philippine
commission approves the recommen-
dation of the assembly of provincial
governors now in session at Manila.
The recommendation provides that an
other member of the provincial board
shall be elected instead of appointed.
At present the treasurer and school
superintendent are appointed As
they must be Americans, they consti-
tute a majority of the provincial
boards. The provincial governors want
a member elected to replace the school
superintendent, thus giving the Fill
pinos a majority on all boards. II

Washington, Oct 20.-The state de-

Mexican government has given in
structions to the gunboats and rev.
enue cutters, which it has employed
to break up fishing by smacks in the
territorial waters of Mexico to re-
frain from any unnecessary in
reference with vessels outside of
the three mile limit and to be as lenl-
emit as possible in other respects. This
results from the protest of the state
department against the action of the
commander of a Mexican gunboat in
stopping and searching an American
vessel on the high seas.
