FOR BETTER STATE ROADS.
Good Roads Convention DeplOres
New Constitution.

The State board of Agriculture
has inaugurated a campaign for
better roads in this state that is
meeting with the approval of far
mers and business men and which
will, if carried to completion, give
to Missouri a road system second
to no other state in the Union. A
Good Roads Convention, continu-
ing for four days and which was
participated in by some of the best
authorities in this and other states
was held in Chillicothe, Sept. 3 to
Z, and was attended by several
thousand people including more
than two hundred regularly APP
pointed delegates sent by county
courts and commercial organiza-
tons of nearly every county in
north Missouri. The sentiments
of the convention are expressed in
the following resolutions which
were UNANIMOUSLY adopted:
Missouri, the fourth state in the
American Union in wealth and
population and the first in poten-
tial resources, demands and should
have a system of public highways
fully adequate to her necessities.
1t is therefore resolved by the
Good Roads convention held at
/ Chillicothe under the auspices of
the State Board of Agriculture,
Sept. 81 as follows:
First. We favor the creation by
the next General Assembly of the
Office of the State Highway Engi-
neer, under the jurisdiction of the
State Board of Agriculture to CO.
operatet with the local offices in
the furtherance of good roads.
Second. To provide an adequate
number of trained men for the
supervision of road construction
in the various localities of this
state, we recommend the imme-
diate establishment of a course in
Road Engineering and the equip
ment of a suitable laboratory for
the testing ofroad materials at the
State University at Columbia.

the reduced majority, but they
are extremely iubilant over the

Stockholm, Sept. 26.-The American
legation, although not: the direct object
of the planned outrage, had narrow
escape from being blown up by the
Finnish refugee revolutionists who
were arrested here Sept % and was
only saved By the timely arrest of the
conspirators.p It appears that the lat
ter intended to rob the State bank,
occupying part of the same premises
as the legation. The Films had
planned first to empty the vaults of
the bank and then raze the building
with dynamite, fifty pounds of which
were found in their possession. The
men arrested declare the attempt will
be repeated by others.
