Where Millions Are Lost.

The plea that good roads are "too
costly belongs only to the cheap
statesman, the mossback and old-fash-
Toned newspapers. 1t has no place in
the consideration of the problem of
modern road building.
The primary purpose in securing good
roads is to eliminate the enormous and
everlasting cost of bad roads. Modern
country roads bear the same relation to
the rural districts as paved streets bear
to the cities. Paved streets for NUM-
cipalities are, first of all, a business
proposition. The comfort and eenven-
fence afforded by them is a matter Of
secondary consideration. No city could
be built on mud streets. Neither can
agricultural communities be developed
on mud roads. And any condition that
retards the fullest development of
country life is All expense that spells
ruin and bankruptcy in the end.
The old wooden plow could be pur-
chased for less than the modern imple-
ments used to break the soil. But no
farmer could maintain his farm with a
wooden plow. 1t would prove too costly
an experiment.
Mud roads retain the same relation
to modern progress as the wooden plow.
Kansas wastes a million dollars every
year OH mud roads; Iowa wastes four
million dollars annually in the same
way. 1t is a system of throwing good
money after bad money! in an attempt
to improve" roads that need to be re-
built, and after millions have been
wasted in this manner the same old
mud roads exist. Nothing is left to
show for all the expense.
The 10 million dollars Kansas has
lost in the mud holes of its country
roads in the past ten years would have
given the stase an excellent system of
permanent highways. It would have
meant an Investment that would now
be paying big dividends to the farm
.owuers Of that state. Weekly Kansas:

MARKET NEWS.

So long IS The demand Tor poultry

over supply OF eggs, ard good prices
may reasonably be, counted Upon in
spite of the recent u%nfavorable outlook.
The steady ADVANCE lin meat prices IS
accounted for BY the fact that in nine
years ,hr number Of food animals has
decreased 5000, 900, white the number
Of consumers has increased II, 900. 900.
The day Of cheap range-fed stock is
over, and eastern farmers should find
It profitable to 20 into tie cattle feed

The sensational rise in the price Of
hogs viii undoubtedly induce a greater
production, bat there is little fear that
the market will be overstocked for
several years. Careful observers de-
clare that it will take five years, under
favorable conditions, to increase the
supply sufficiently to meet the demand.
The prevailing prices themselves act as
4 deterrent to an increase III the supply; !
since thu, large sums obtainsl for sows

There is therefore little likelihood Of a

Louis A. Miller
Commits Suicide

According to special of the 21st
inst. to the Minot Optic. Louis A. Mil
Ter, farm hand employed by Robert
Kellington, who lives four miles south
east o f Portal committed suicide
Sunday night by the rope route. Mil
ler arrived in Portal last Thursday from
Voltaire, where his brother, F. s. Mil
Ter, resides. He started work at once
for KelIington. Last evening he said
good night to his employer, who short
ly afterwards in company with Peter
Hanson stepped outside of his house to
look at prairie fire in that neighbor-
hood. Kellington saw a light in the
barn and thinking that Miller was tend
ing to sick horse went to help him.
Upon entering the barn he saw Miller
swinging from one of the rafters. He
was at once cut down, but life was ex-
tinct. The coroner at Minot was noti-
fed and the states attorney and the
justice of the peace at Portal were
ordered to make the examination. A
corOner's jury was secured and ver-
dict of suicide returned. No apparent
cause can be found for the act. Miller
had seventy dollars in cash and seemed
to have no troubles. He has brother
at Voltaire and one at Morton, Minn.,
his former home. The body is now in
this city hwaiting the arrival Of his
brothers.
The deceased 8 about forty-eight
years old and a member of the Odd

Fargo News. March 17.)
State Treasurer Bickford is in Fargo
taking some of the higher Masonic de-
grees, but he had time yesterday to talk
a little about state affairs. Among
other things he said that the state board
of auditors had completed the work of
designating the banks competent to re-
ceive state deposits, SOB banks being
designated as such repositories.
"These designations would provide
for deposits amounting to So, 913, $780,"
said Mr.. Bickford, eff there was that
much money on hand to place in them.
The cash balance now on hand is about
81, 45O, 900, but by the first of the month
this will be increased by about million
dollars through tax receipts.
Last June the high balance was
around So, 300, 900. but the receipts then
were unusually large owing to the large
sales Of school and institution lands,
which amounted to over 81, 400, ,OOO."

GREAT GERMAN
AIRSHIp BUILT
Constructed of Iron by an Engineer at
Trier and Designed to Carry so Pass
engers and Attain Speed of ~
.. to so Miles Per Hour.

Trier, Germany, March 13.-An i'm
mense air cruiser to carry from so to 60
persons and intended to travel at from
a to so miles an hour, is approaching
completion here and will be launched
early this spring by it's inventor, Anton
Border, an engineer of this city. 1t
introduces an entirely new departure in
the construction of airships, as it is
built Of iron.
The new vessel is expected to achieve
even re successful results than those
Of the rigid aluminium type built by
Count Zeppelin, on which it is chiefly
modelled. 1t is to be named the Trier,
after the town: ..
The skeleton of the balloon is formed
Of rolled iron piping. The central hol-
low iron shaft is 410 feet in length and
about l6 inches in diameter. There are
16 other side shafts in the framework,
each Of them about 1928 feet long and
inches in diameter. These are Joined
to the central shaft by lattice work
of iron. The gas is contained in IL ring
balloonets, in the same manner as in the
Zeppelin craft. The balloonets are Just
over 81 feet long by nearly 40 feet in
diameter and they lie end to end along
the body Of the airship. The vessel is
provided with no fewer than five motors,
developing altogether 480 horsepower.
One of them Of 80 horsepower, drives
the propeller, which is fitted at the
bows. The other four develop 100 horsel
power each and are utilized TO put into
movement, the 16Svertical and eight hor.
.izoi.tal screw planes which. ateer the
Ship upwards and adownwards and star
board and port. 90. !.
The entire weight Of the framework,
motors and equipment is 80 TONS.
