King Drag Work on Roads.

The influence OF the D. Ward King
road meeting March 81 at Erie, Kan.
has already extended to every town
ship in Neosho county. says the Thames
City Times. Taxes for road purposes
in ell the townships were made payable
in cash this year, and the township
boards are appropriating the funds for
the building and operation Of split log
drags Fifteen drags are now at work
in Erie township under the direction of
the trustee, and, in addition to this
number. many farmers have built
drags for private Use. The street COM
missioner Of the city he's been using
several split log drags on the unpaved
streets of the town. and these streets
are now quite as smooth and hard as
those that were paved. Farmers are
enthusiastic over the results obtained
on the country roads, and plans are
being made for dragging every mile of
dirt road in the county this spring.

CONFERENCE To Be
HELD IN FEW DAYS
City and Representatives of
Traction Companies to
Have a Meeting.
| ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION
CITY DOES NOT WANT TO DUST
THE COMPANIES BUT ONLY
WANTS THEM TO LIVE UP TO
THE LAWS.
ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION

The city and the representatives OF
Richmond probably will confer again
within the next week or ten days re-
lative to the rights of the traction
lines on Richmonds streets. When
the first conference adjourned it was
with the understanding that the trac-
ton representatives were to provide
the high officials of the companies
with all information pertaining to the
local situation, and then an effort
would be made, it was expected. to
adjust the differences between the
city and the companies. Since the
conference was held the companies
have had their track mileage within
the corporation limits of the city
carefully measured and the proceed
ings by which both gained access TO
the county have been carefully look
ed into. The Dayton & Western S
right on the streets is considerably
less, it is said, than that of the In
dianapolis and Eastern. The enron
eous impression has gone out that
the city is trying to Gust the compan-
les from Richmond Quite the con
trary is true, the city officers say,
but in the absence of franchise
governing either company's right
within the city proper, the city gov
eminent has the unquestionable right
to compel the companies to conform
with the laws and procure a fran
chise to operate. When this is done
as it must be shortly, the city officials
say, there will be an effort made by
council to restrict the liberties here
tofore given traction companies. I'm
der present conditions a Dayton &
Western traction car might exceed
the speed limit fixed for city cars,
yet prosecution would be handicap
ped because of the fact that the com
pany cannot we'll violate the terms
of franchise which it does not have.

HAD SPLENDID SERVICE
SIX ADDITIONS WERE MADE
The Rev. r. w. Wade Preached Two
Good Sermons Yesterday and the
Work of the Choir was Especially
Pleasing.

The revival services at the First
NJ. E. church yesterday were full of
enthusiasm. Large congregations at
tended both services. The pastor,
Rev. r. w. Wade preached in the
morning on Christian Growth. There
were three additions. In the evening
he preached a strong sermon on
Showing Your Colors. Three came
forward at the close of the sermon.
The music at the First NJ E. church
under the direction of Prof. Harris
is one Of the most inspiring features.
Prof Harris has made friends of all
who have become acquainted with
him and the church have the utmost
confidence in the sincerity of his life
as well as in his ability as a musician.
At the close of the sermon last night
Prof. Harris sang a solo which he
had composed in the afternoon espec-
tally for the evening service. It's
title was Mothers Way, and it had
splendid effect on the audience.
The quartet composed Of Mrs. Elmer
Gormon, Mrs. Edna Longnecker, Mr..
Raymond Wehrley and Prof. Harris
also gave pleasing number. The
quartet sing regularly at every SER
vice. Doubtless the best number of
the evening was the solo by Miss
Caroline Karl. She has one of the
most beautiful contralto voices in the
city and those who know her ability
predict for her a musical career. Both
Monday and Tuesday night Dr. Elliott
the evangelist and Mr.. Rykert the
singer will have charge of the servi-
ces at First church. A cordial invi-
tation is extended to all to attend
these services.

The Enermou. Mud Tax.

In the course of speech Congress
man John Fl. Bankhead of Alabama
declared that the amount Of money
it ts'-es 10 haul ton Ave miles on our
dirt roads will pay the freight for 80
miles on railroad or 500 miles on n
river and 1000 miles on the lakes.
These figures prove conclusively the
enormous tax levied by the bad roads
on the farmers and how much o: their
legitimate profit is consumed in haul
ing from the farms to the railroad sta
tions. river landing and to the towns
and cities. Not only have the farmers
suffered great loss on account of poor
roads. but the people in the towns and
cities who depend upon them for their
supplies bave suffered Also

The Busiest Day Of Fall.

Richmond merchants are enjoying
a brisk fall trade, despite the fact
that weather conditions have not
been the best, that is there has been
a dearth of real seasonable weather
Trade was never more brisk at the
opening of November than now. and
scarcely a merchant can with justice
complain of patronage. There was a
shining example of brisk business
Saturday, the city being filled with
country folk and they did not come
for any other purpose than to buy
Stores reaped a harvest and the big
business of the day reflected in a
most emphatic manner the prosper
ity of the farming classes. The in
terurban lines had the busest day OF
the fall and from early morning to
mid-afternoon shoppers were brought
into Richmond.

Philippine Roads.

Reports from the Philippines inform
us that the conversion of impossible
trails into good highways is proceed
ing rapidly, and the work is being done
by native convicts in charge of white
officers. says Motor News. The lack of
ordinarily decent roads has been one
OF the most serious drawbacks to devel-
opment of our island possessions in
that it was impossible to transport
products from the interior at anywhere
near a figure which left q fair profit to
those who handled the stuff at the
coast Present information leads US to
believe that the farsighted policy now
being followed Is TO be continued. witt
the result. perhaps. that the Philippine.
will possess a network of splendis
highways long before such results ar,
reached i'll the United States.

Of the excellent roads in France and
the government method of maintaining
them. He says:
France had wretched roads in for

were a favorite stock in trade of the

mostly around Paris, under Louis XIV.
16i3-1715, but it was not until about
1775 that the serious work of building
great roads of national extent was I'M
dertaken. and Napoleon l. carried 1t
forward vigorously as part of his mil
itary schemes, uniting frontier points
with the capital. Never has the work
ceased, except during periods of war.
and the more difficult sections, at first
left to a more convenient season, are
steadily being built, while new cutoffs
and connecting links are continually
being declared open for service. The
roads are divided into six classes, as
follows:
First = National roads, built and
maintained by the government, 21,30O
miles.
''Second-Departmen (state) roads,

divisions traversed by them, 1900
