Present Indications Point To Destruction of Hun
 dreds in Minnesota.

Duluth, Sept. 17-Grand Marias is today surrounded by roaring wall of fire and it seems impossible that those of it's inhabitants who have not previously made their way to safety can escape. The fire has for the last two days been quiescent but it is now famed by heavy wind.
 Reports received today bring word of the burning to death of one white and six indians who were trying to save homesteaders near Ncston. These are the first deaths to be re- ported as the result of the fire.

Good Roads Are a
Necessity to Kansas

J. B. Case has some good ideas on
good roads and studied the methods
used on the coast when in California
"a few weeks ago. "Californis," said
Mr.. Case, "has simply gone wild over
good roads SO that now there Is little
else talked about in public improve
ment lines among the farmers as well
as the city folks. Those people out
there arc doing wonderful amount
Of work in the building Of good roads.
1t is not SO in one county in the state
but in practically every county.
While | was there crossed the state
three times on different lines Of rail-
roads and could see from the car win
dows, mile after mile OF road build
ing. Then ] travelled more than a
thousand miles In automobiles and
had really better opportunity to see
what was being done.
"They have abandoned the idea OF
oiled roads and are putting down
what is known out there as macadam.
It's somewhat different than our ma
cadam as the construction consists OF
crushed rock, mixed with crude oil
and lots Of 1t and . smooth dressing
on top Of this.
"Some in arguing against macadam
for certain parts Of Kansas say that
1t would be too expensive to haul
rock two or three hundred miles.
California doesn't think so, for most
Of the rock for their roads is hauled
farther than that. asked IS to the

expense Of this work. My question
was directed at q farmer who had
lived in Kansas only few years ago.
He teld me that be had no ldes as TO
the cost Of these roads by the mile
but that Los Angeles county, outside
Of the city Of Los Angeles. mind you,
had expended or had arranged to
spend 81 million dollars. I was also
informed that a movement was on
foot for the state to appropriate 20
million dollars for the building Of
good roads, with commission to ap-
propriate the money to different
counties. OF this same ex.Kansan |
asked II he didn't look upon that as
large amount OF money for merely
road building.
Eyes, he answered, but it would
be worth twice that amount II proper
ly disbursed for the purpose which it
is appropriated
The trouble with US back there
in Kansas continued tn man, was
that we di'nt appreciate the b.ne6t
to be derived from the real thing In
roads. Our roads hers are built by
county bonds and direct assessment.
Had this proposition Of county bonds
been proposed to me in Kansas I'd
have fought IT. But now it's differ.
ent. I'm for the plan or any other
legitimate plan to provide good
roads It's more essential to the pro-
gress Of state than any other prOpO-
sition that can be thought Of today"

CITIES AND TOWNS,
What Is Essential for Their UpbulId.
ing and Permanently.


Cities and towns are built up where
there are certain natural advantages
that afford economic means for man
ufacturing or for the distribution OF
products. Towns and cities may be
classified as manufacturing towns and
commercial towns: Large cities are
built up by support from industries
that employ people. There are few
communities that can exist within
themselves and upon home resources
without the assistance Of other com.
munities. The city must draw from
a large trade territory. All parts Of
the world contribute toward the sus-
tenance Of such great cities as New
York, Boston and Chicago. 1t is the
support thus received that makes these
cities great. The country town has
its trade radius limited. Unless the
proper effort be made to protect this
trade, to care for 1t, to cultivate it, it
is likely to drift elsewhere. It re-
quires push, continual exercise of en-
ergy to build up a good trade center.
Competition is constantly growing
keener. 1t is pulling together and
constant work, push and enterprise
hitched up with common sense that
always wins.
The Tupelo journal., 1908-05-15
Avoid NarroWness,

There is such a thing as carrying
principles of economy in business to
extremes, Of practicing the trimming
operations until harm results. Too
much cutting down of expenses means
decreased business and loss. 1t is
narrowness that should be avoided.
How many times do business men
seek cheap help rather than those
whose experience and aptness justi-
fies their asking for good wages?
Cheap help is generally expensive and
poor help. The clerk who receives
five dollars a week cannot be expected
to be much more than an automaton,
a machine, and he may be all right
in certain capacities, but he will never
prove a trade winner for the merchant
who employs him. Many a merchant
fails in business just because of his
nfggardly way Of running things, on
account of his ideas that he can win
out with cheap help, and can do bust
ness without advertising.
