Value of Good Roads to Property.

The question 'Do good roads pay"
is being continually demonstrated by
such facts as this, taken from n Flori-
da paper: J, G. Sloth, the real estate
broker, could have bought n certain
tract of land few months ago at $780,
An "ob1ect lesson" road was built in
the locality, and he was authorized by
n client to pay $4,000 for it, but found
when he made his tender that it had
just been sold for 5000. The value
had been enhanced by an amount sufi-
cient to pay for half mile of i'm
proved road, and the gain on value Of
half a mile of abhtting property at the
same rate would pay for ten miles Of
good roads Mt the same cost.

BODY OF DECKWITH BOY
MISSING FROM ITS GRAVE

RENO. New, June 2.-What became
of the body of young Charles Smith
and the casket which contained it
when the burial took place is a ques-
tion that is puzzling his relatives and
the entire population of the town of
Beckwith, Cal. The boy. who was
about Il years of age, met his death
by drowning some time ago. and was
buried in the valley a few miles from
Beckwith. Yesterday James Smith. a
brother of the deceased, went to the
grave for the purpose of securing the
body which he wished to place in the
Beckwith cemetery. When he eXca-
waited for the coffin it was nowhere to
be found. No one seems to be able to
throw any light on the subject. When
it was removed, and how. are matters
of conjecture only, and various theo
ries are being advanced.

These centers become bloodless for
