paid the Indians last Saturday as a re-

construction work, but they are not in

SUBSCRIBING FOR ROADS.
Hovv Farmers In a Missouri County
Built Fine Highways.

MOw Farmers In a Missouri County
Built Fine Highways.
The methods used in obtaining funds
to build transcription roads, in Boone
county, Mo-, were described few days
ago by W. B. Cauthorn, an engineer in
Columbia who helped and who directed
the building Of some of the finest high
ways in that part of Missouri, says the
Kansas City Star. II don't think Amer
leans like the toll idea," Mr.. Cauthorn
said, respectfully when they are pay
ing taxes too. The subscription road
Is more popular than the toll road. In
preparing to build the Columbia Mex
leo free highway the promoters start
ed with nothing except confidence.
They were laughed at, but they said,
Let us build one mile and you'll want
twenty And that was true. The
county court subscribed half the
amount needed. The property owners
adjacent to the first mile put up the
remainder.
"That was the start. 1t attracted
others living farther away, and they
offered to subscribe for mile, so that
the first contributors were given two
miles of highway for the price of one.
Others joined in, and the work contin-
ued, the cost to each subscriber being
what he paid for one mile, and yet he
had the use of the whole road. 1t is to be
extended this summer in the same way
until 1t is thirteen miles long, all free
highway. The highest subscription out
side that from the county court was
800. The sums ranged from SIS to
$500 Farmers were allowed to give
| $50 in work. One man who owned six
ty acres gave 500 and worked it out
! He said the road added IS per cent to
| the value of his land"
We've been hauling rock" farmer
said. Some of us have got plum tired
waiting for laws. We're going to build
! two roads this season, each five miles
long, by the subscription plan. They'll
be free roads. The county will contrib
ute one-half the cost. The more we
get of these roads the more the farm
ers demand them. l know one man
who gave $1,000. and he owns only
800 acres. That's the effect of road
agitation in community. We get
subscriptions from AUDITING property
and from benefited districts. Every
one who goes near the road is asked to
help, and they all do it,
