GOOD ROADS
help EVERYBODY.
RAILROADS INTERESTED AS WELL
AS FARMERS IN THIS VERY
IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

Mr.. H. Sheridan, division freight
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road at Columbus, O., is hustler for
business and has Just introduced an
innovation in helping to make the work
more effectual in soliciting traffic for
the railroad. This Is to have the yari-
GUS station agents in his territory
cooperate, as far as possible, with
the people of their respective coun-
ties IN securing ami maintaining good
roads over which the products Of the
farm, ETC., are hauled to the railroad
for city and other markets, With this
subject Mr.. Sheridan has addressed a
circular letter to the agents in his
territory, which, in part, reads as
follows:
AS a means Of maintaining our
present tonnage represented in pro-
ducts Of the farm and forest and OBJ
tanning new tonnage, the subject of
good roads possesses special interest
and we are anxious to secure the maxi
mum benefit which ! to be derived
through the introduction, maintenance
and extension Of good roads in coun-
try districts tributary to the B. & o.
Therefore, your permanent interest
in the subject is solicited, so that no
opportunity may be lost to develop
and Increase interest in the subject
in your vicinity and thus assist in
turning to the B. go. the farm pro-
ducts that will be hauled to as il the
roads are favorable and from us II
the country roads are improved in
other localities and It becomes possible
for patrons living midway between the
B. & o. and a competing line to haul
larger loads with greater ease to other
lines than ours.
at the last session of the Ohio Leg
islamre an appropriation of 100000
was made and opportunities presented
for counties to profit through construc-
ton and repairs and make progress IN
the necessary and beneficial work of
good roads. The next Legislature will

largely out Of the enormous crops rais-

segment expansion Of business far be-

ly swamped the railroads. not only
with products going out Of the state,

Bismarck. Jan. 2S.-The report of the

cars This condition had been vigor-
ously handled by the commission with
the railway management. The COM
mission takes exception to the sensa-
