AROUND THE WORLD
THIRTY-THREE DAYS
THIS FEAT WILL SOON BE
POSSIBLE FOR TRAVELLERS
On Completion of Siberian and Jap
anese Railroads Circuit Can be
Made in Thirty-three Days.

Thirty-one years ago Jules Verne
wrote "Around the World in Eighty
navs!" 1t was then considered little
more than a dream. Last year the
circuit of the world was made in 543
davs. When the Siberian railroad is
Anished-an the Japanese have also
finished their road--thirty- three days
will then enable traveller to leave
New York in either direction and go
completely around the earth! The
great main lines of railroad which
traverse the earth are supplied with
feeders large and small, which work
hack into what were unknown wastes
fftv years ago. 1t is estimated that
there are 532, 500 miles of railroad now
in working order, of which 202, All
miles are in this country These roads
do two things-provides new markets
and tap new stores of food or mater
ial. They bring new demands for
some things which the American
farmer has to sell, and also enables
distant sections to compete in his
market with what he grows. If the
railroads alone are developed until
they network the world the farmer
will receive less direct benefit and
more direct competition than 9any
other producing Or commercial class.
This is because his products must be
hauled over a dirt or stone road be-
fore thew can be distributed. 1t is
evident to all that farmer at the
end of a rough or muddy road cannot
compete on even terms with another
farmer who has a smooth hard high
way between his farm and the rail
road So far as farmers are con
cerned, the improvement of the coun
ty highways is of far greater impor
tance than the extension of the rail
roads. Not only farmers, but tn
entire nation will be benefited by i'm
proved highways. The locality shoult
not be left to pay the cost alone. r

summon a physician and on the fol-
lowing Tuesday morning, at one
o'clock death came. He was a phar-
macist and for years conducted a phar-
macy here, but retired from the busi-
ness some years ago. He was pop
ular man, a useful man, attentive
to business, polite and pleasant to
all. and his death is a sorrowful blow
to all who knew him. He was the son
of the late DIR. George G. Chamber
