In this community Of something

there are a few individuals who are
IN the habit Of protesting against
certain things that are done. These
are known as the "kickers." They
utter complaints at the beginning,
during the creation, and at the
finish, of every new enterprise. They
always have plenty of time to de-
tect the imperfections in the work
Of their neighbors, AMI they seem
to have wonderful cIearness Of
vision that enables them to see in
to next year and determine the re-
suit of every project. If the scheme

james Hecox, the old, retired
engineer of the NOrthwesternsystem
whose last run was on the Necedah
branch, was here yesterday for a
visit with his friend @. W. Frothir G.
ham. Mr.. Hecox makes his home
at Necedah, where he has a fine
residence with only his wife to en-
JOY life with him. He was retired
from service Feb 1st last and the
first ride he has had since that time
was with Mr.. rockingham yester-
day. This veteran engineer now re-
celves a pension on the retired list
OF $40 per month but is still hale and
hearty. He commenced railroad1ng
in 1856 with the G. M. e st. Paul
system as fireman, and made
steam on the Prairie du Chen dl-
vision for those old time engineers,
Alva OrY1s and John Melvin, the
former dead and the latter retired.
Mr.. Hecox was given an engine in
1859 on the st. Paul system. In 1864
he went to the Northwestern road,
where he was continuously engaged
up to Feb. 1st last. His retirement
leaves Mr.. rockingham the Oldest
engineer in point of service on the
Madison division of the North
western road. The old boys had
alternate runs on the main line from
Harvard to Elroy for a long term OF
years and greatly enjoyed their
visit together.

ROADS INVESTIGATED.
State Geological Survey Studying the
Conditions of the Highways.

The State Geological Survey is
systematically studying the con-
dition Of the roads OF the state, to-
gether with the methods used in
building them and keeping them in
repair. 1t is taking up this in
vestigatlon for the purpose of spread
ing as widely as possible the know
ledge Of how to build roads proper
~ and how to care for them in the
most economical and intelligent
manner. Particular attention is
beng paid to the common dirt
roads, as it is evident that most
roads must be made of the dirt
found along the roadway for many
years to come, and therefore in
formation as to the cheapest and
best means of making such roads
will be of greatest value.
Letters enclosing a list Of ques-
tons concerning the roads in his
township will be sent to each town
clerk in few days. It is important
that a complete set of data such as
these questions ask for should be in
the hands Of the Geological Survey
as soon as possible. Any person in
terested can then find where the
best methods of road work in any
county are being used, and any
advice the Survey may be asked for
will be based on complete know
ledge of conditions which would be
difficult to obtain in any other
manner.
Such an investigation as the
Geological Survey has started must
be Of the greatest value. It is
evident to anyone who considers the
question that much of the money
spent on country roads is wasted,
notwillfully wasted, only ignorantly
was ed, but wasted nevertheless.
The bad places are fixed every
spring or fall only to be ready to
swallow up more money and labor
as soon as the next wet spell is
ended There is over a million
dollars spent annually upon the
roads Of the state by people who
know but very little Of the funda-
mental principles Of road building,
and as a consequence much Of it is
wasted. If the people of the sta. e
were to spend a million dollars in
any other way they would insist on
wise, economical management. There
is no reason why dirt roads should
not be passable at all seasons of the
year and afford much more use and
pleasure than they do at present
to those who drive over them if the
fundamental principles are observed
to those who have them in charge.
What is first needed is not more
money and labor on the roads SO
much as the proper use of that
which is already being expended.
1t is the purpose Of the Geological
Survey to put itself in a position to
furnish information as to the ways
of getting the best results out Of the
money the people are already
putting into their roads, and in this
way enable them to secure better
roads without adding greatly to
their present expenditures.
The Survey will be glad to hear
from anyone interested in this work
concerning local conditions.
