WELL KEPT ROADSlOES,

livery Landowner Should Help Beau
tify the Highway.
Attention should not be confined to
the travelled roadway to the total neg
lect Of the roadside, says the Auto Ad-
vocate. The Importance Of identifying
the unused margins Of the road allow
ance Is a matter which should be i'm
pressed upon every landowner. How
ever good the road, it does not fully
serve its purpose If the roadside Is O
tangled mass Of weeds, brush, rubbish
and tin cans. A farm usually par
takes Of the condition Of the road lead
ing to it, and the state of the roadside
Is apt to be an index to character Of
the farmer.
Rural England owes much Of it's
beauty not only to Its good roads, but
also to the well kept roadsides, the
magnificent trees and beautiful hedges.
It is a power that creates a love Of
country and an unfaitering patriotism.
Grade and level the roadside as well
as the road. Establish a good sod.
Keep down the weeds. Let the fences
be neat and tasteful. Plant groups Of
trees and shrubbery. Utilize any
springs available near the road to
make drinking places for horses and
cattle. In doing all this preserve ma
ture at her best, making the most Of
natural advantages.
The roadsides cannot, need not, be
converted into lawns, but they need
not be the unsightly emblems Of chaos
that we so frequently find them. In
building our roads the original beauty
of nature is destroyed, and we owe it
to ourselves to make such atonement
as we can by restoring a certain
amount of order and ornament

ATTRACT THE TOURISTS.


Good Roads BRING Summer Visitors
to o State.
The question Of good roads in Yer
mont has been agitated more or less Of
late by the press and public all over the
state. and it is apparent that both are
waking up to a realization that q
prominent factor in Vermont's pros
perity will be permanent roads. which.
along with fish. game and forest pro-
lection and promotion. will bring
wealthy city visitors to the state for
summer homes and country residences.
The Barre Times thus speaks Of the
roads question:
IAN automObilist talking on the sub
5ect Of roads might be considered
prejudiced in favor of good roads. but
what the automobilist says about the
condition of thoroughfares in Vermont
Is undoubtedly true. Here is what a
motor car enthusiast from New York
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-29

GOOD ROAD FOR TOURISTS.
state thinks of the conditions and the
possibilities, speaking particularly Of
the roads on the western side Of the
state: 1T is beautiful country and a
delightful place to summer in, but
there are many automobile tourists
who would hesitate to come here be-
cause Of the roads; whereas, If they
were improved to a considerable ex-
tent, the influx of summer visitors
would soon grow to enormous proper
tons, and the hotel keepers, merchants
and other business men would accord
ingly prosper to the same extent. 1t
takes so little to make good roads. The
material is at hand, and it does not
require very heavy outlay. The peo-
pie Of Vermont are asleep to their op-
portunities. There are about forty
weeks in the year in which to work,
and in that time the state could do
wonders toward improving its roads,
from the standpoint Of the automo-
bilist or from whatever standpoint,
smooth, hard roads are an asset which
any community or state might we'll Ia
Dor to possess. 1t seems that the auto
mobile must be the lever to start a gen.
eral effort toward the betterment Of
the thOroughfares."

NAVY NOT FOR SHOW PURPOSES
War Department Has to Turn Down
Many Requests.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 29.-The
navy department is receiving numer-
Gus requests from places along the
sea coast tor the detail of one or more
ships of war to take part in local cele-
brations. Some of these requests come
from seaside resorts where the navy
forms obviously an attraction to visit
ors and in some instances the re-
ouest has no other reason for being
made than that the navy is to be used
in this connection.
Secretary Bonaparte sees all OF
these requests, and most of them nave
TO be unfavorably acted upon, Tor the
reason that there are no ships of the
Atlantic fleet which can be spared Tor
this nurpose. This year the navy has
been exceedingly busy in a pracucai

the bears forehead which put him to

This bear was one of the alrgest

a black one, measuring more than sew

reported to be very plentiful all

standpoint of the fire boys this form

matter this morning, said: Some peo-
