two Million Dollars.
VALUE OF MODEL HIGHWAYS

More Than a Billion and a Half In
Gain Would Be saved-VaIue Of
Road Built Near GreenviIe, Misso at
Low Rate.
When the annual appropriation bill
Of the department Of agriculture was
under discussion last April Repre-
sentative Benjamin Humphreys OF
Greenville Miss. made the epigram-
matte statement that mo road can
cost the farmers as much as a poor
one" That touched the very kernel
of road economics, for careful research
and exhaustive study have proved, says
the New York American. that the poor
roads Of the nation place a mud and a
hill climbing tax Of rot less than a
quarter of a billion dollars year on
those who use them.
The representatives. sparkling little
sentence was in answer to query by
Representative Sims as to the cost OF
building the unique burnt clay roads
Of the south, a system evolved by the
experts Of the Office Of public roads Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture at an almost incalculable bene-
fit to the cotton growers Of the south.
Mr.. Humphreys had explained in in-
tense the skillful methods adopted by
Engineer Spoon, who had been ordered
by Director Logan Waller Page Of the
Office of public roads to go to the delta
district of Mississippi and make
study of conditions. He laid logs

along stretches of impossible thor
oughfares which had as a basis the
sticky "gumbo" clay of the south,
burnt them to such purpose that the
clay was changed entirely in charac-
ter and then supervised the construc-
ton of road that for hauling pur-
poses is little short Of the splendid
macadam roads Of the north and east.
ut depends entirely upon the char
acter Of the country through which
the road passes" said Mr.. Humphreys
when asked what 1t all cost. "lf 1t be
wooded so that fuel can be bought
for. say, SIPS u cord, the road can be
made for $1,000 q mile | may say
that It costs from one-half to, one
nfth as much as a macadam road
costs, and it is as easily and as cheap
~ maintained.
"In country where the people
have never gone into the building or
good roads the thought of paying
$1,000 mile seems prohibitive.
Where the experiment Is once made,
however, we all know that the people,
and especially the farmers, who usual
h at first are most violently opposed
70 the undertaking, demand that the
roads be constructed and are most
willing to bear the tax"
In explaining how easily 'the bur-
den Of taxation would be borne, even
II the authorities of his county de-
cided to expend a half million in the
construction of a perfect system OF
high class roads. Mr.. Humphreys
said: ''If the farmer, instead Of haul
ing six bales Of cotton with two
mules, as could be done with ease last
winter over the burnt clay road near
Greenyille 1.-THE one built as a model
by Engineer Spoon Of Director Pages
Office, could haul but two, he would
be taxed for a bad road at a higher
rate than anybody was ever taxed
for a good road, not counting the wear
and tear on mules and wagons.

who had attained the most gratifying
results from the use Of this simple
but effective device.
Last year the 100000 miles of poor
roads in the United States cost vast
fortune to the farmers and Incidental
" another to the city men, the ADDED
cost to the farmers OF hauling farm
products over the well nigh impassa
bic roads being in the end paid by the
Een who consume them.
Statistics gathered from the leading
countries Of Europe prove that the
cost Of hauling over the American
roads is far higher than in any other
country, the average In France, Ger
many and England being II cents
ton mile last year to n cost OF 20 cents
here. That difference Of 13 cents Is
the unnecessary tax burden the Amer
ican farmer is forced to bear because
state and county authorities have long
been blind to the benefits which would
follow an awakening to road impor-
lance.
AS the average length Of the haul
of all American farm products Is "a
miles, 1t will be seen that every ton
hauled cost the farmer who hauled II
81 % more than the hauling OF ton
of similar products would cost the
farmers Of England, France or Ger
many. Last year nearly S6,OO0,OOo'-
100000 pounds Of farm products were
hauled over the country roads. Re
duce that vast weight to tons, charge
It s1.22 ton, and It proves an annual
loss TO the farmer Of $50, 100000.
And the saving OF that sum would
be a trife Of a fraction OF the Dement'S
that would come from an immediate
construction Of perfect roads, for itsis
but a portion Of the weight annually
hauled over these roads, the statistics
Of the department Of commerce ana
labor after liberal deductions placing
the quantity at approximately ESQ.,
100000 tons. The saving In the han
ding Of that stupendous bulk would
be 1906. 600 annually.
n has been ascertained also that the
construction Of model highways In a
rural community brings an Immediate
increase In the value Of the property
which such roads traverse. There are
$40, 600 900 acres Of farm lands In the
United States at the present time
Statistics show that the improved
road increase in farm values Is from
So to 50 m acre. Were all tia acres tc
benefit even the lowest AMOUNT the
gain would be $1,es1oooooo, which
might be saved in hauling, and the
total would be amply large enough &c

continent with macadam roads as INT
as those which have given the tam'

about the walls of the county stockade, wait

of the sherin's force learned that seven pris-
oners had flown. The men escaped before
the deputies were called in.
For two days prisoners in the hobo tanks
had been working on the thick brick wall,
hiding the debris beneath a stationary wash
stand. The tanks are only built to hold
twenty-five prisoners, while there were sixty
men crowded into the corridors. il being pos
shle for them to crawl on top of the tanks
and there work without being discovered.
Last night while making his rounds Guard

tampered with. but believing that the de-

At 5 o'clock this morning It was decided to
abandon the guarding of the Jail, and when
the officers entered the prison roll call was
made, resulting in the discovery that seven
men had escaped. one of the prisoners in
the tanks was persuaded to tell that the
men had dropped out one by one at intervals
of one minute, beginning at o'clock
The men who escaped are l. II. Kennedy,
