Council Bluffs, Aug. 17.-"No sub
ject is commanding more attention
turnout the country than that of good
member Of the Pottawattamie county
board of supervisors and good roads
expert, who returned from the meeting
of the Iowa State Good Roads associa-
ton at Waterloo with renewed enthu-
siasm for the subject in which he takes
so effective an interest.
At the meeting, which was held at
the same time as the conventions of
the various county officials, Colonel
Baker delivered practical address on
the theme, Good Roads," He and Ward
King Of Missouri opened the discus
sion of the subject, being followed by
numerous other speakers. Hon. James
Wilson. secretary of agriculture, who
had intended to address the meeting,
was unable to be present.
ClaHS 90 6Ido0Fatc.
Colonel Baker treated in his address
what had already been done along the
line Of good roads and then pointed out
what could be done in the future His
remarks on the subject proved reve-
lation to many, some thinking at first
that he must be exaggerating the char
acter of highways of this kind.
Colonel Baker takes the position that
some men of even national reputation,
tho endeavoring to promote the good
roads movement. are in reality discour-
aging it by putting forward too Ella
borate ideas
"At the present time" remarked Col
| onel Baker yesterday, people do not
care to hear extensive arguments to
prove the necessity or desirability OF
good roads. What they want to know
| is. how to put the roads into good con-
dition in simple and practical way.
| They are discouraged by too elaborate
plans"
The dirt road, Colonel Baker re-
| mains firmly convinced, is thoroughly
desirable He holds that an oil road,
such as has been suggested locally
would be exceedingly expensive.
Oil on Dirt Roads.
"For such road as is contemplated,
| said Colonel Baker, there would be
| necessary 300 barrels of OIL 100 barrels
at the start. 100 more two months Ia
ter and the remaining 100 short time
| thereafter. This quantity would go IN
| to the ground to depth of from sew
en- to eight inches. but within three
years all effect would be absolutely de-
stroyed by the earth. 1t would be nee
essary to oil the road all over agar
! at least once year While on the trair
on the trip from which just'returned
talked with person who was fam
iliar with the oil roads about Los An
geles and who told me that oil was pu'
| on every two months.
Council Bluffs is too remote from
the oil districts, in my opinion, for the
oiling of dirt roads. 1t would be wise
it seems to me. for those who are coai-
sidering an oil road to experiment OF
not more than twenty rods, rather thaf
on mile"

is united now and the doubtful mo-
ment is over the election of president
to succeed Mrs. Durham, who has de-
clared that she will not seek re-elec-
ton. Mrs. Anna Edworth of this city,
who was a bipartisan, seeks the
election, as also Mrs. Ida B. Wise of
this city, who was a partisan. Mrs.
eCarhart of Cedar Rapids. also of the
partisan wing, is said to be a receptive
candidate.
Prohibitionists are counting on great
things during the next two years. Kew.
Mr. Barber, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon league, believes that In two
years Iowa will have prohibition. He
believes that the legislature to meet
next winter will either repeal the
mulct law or will vote to resubmit the
constitutional amendment. He believes
that the sentiment in the state for pro-
hibition has become so great that the
legislature cannot ignore it. 1t 1t votes
to resubmit the amendment to the con-
stitution, the legislature OF l9ll VIII
also have to vote the same proposition
before it can be resubmitted to the
people at an election. In that event
it would be of necessity some over two
wears before it would be possible to get
prohibition.
Can the state board of railroad COM
missioners raise freight rates? Inc
law says that it can lower them, put
it is claimed by some lawyers that
the language does not say that they
can be raised. An application has been
filed with the board by William Ellis,
commerce attorney, for the G.. M. q
ST. P. railroad to have the classifica-
ton of stoneware in carload lots
changed from class D to class B. That
would mean an increase in the rates.
The commission will hear the COM
plaint soon and must then decide
whether or not it has authority to
raise rates.
1T is claimed that crockery should
go at a higher rate because there is
so much breakage and railroads would
lust as soon there was no crockery
shipped. 1t is claimed that if a car
is loaded with crockery and allowed
to stand on the track a week Without
being moved and is then opened IL VIII
be found that a lot of 1t Is broken De-
cause Of the expansion and contraction
of the stuff by the temperature, ana
vet if any breakage occurs the railroad
must pay for it. Some times the
breakage amounts to more than the
original charge for freight.
Ten carloads of farm implement ma
chinery is already on the state fair

earlier this year than ever before.
