In their convention the county
commissioners will find no subject
Il greater Importance and interest
han that of good road construction
Public opinion is demanding the
construction and maintenance Of i'm
proved highways, and since the
;ountes will have to cooperate with
the state government in making
these improvements. the county com
nissioners should give the subject
thorough consideration.
The legislature at its late ses-
lion provided for the appointment
IF state highway commission with
authority to supervise road construc.
ion and to cooperate with coun-
ty officials n.this work. This COM
mission has been appointed. and II
prepared to do all in its power to
inaugurate a scheme of good road
construction which ultimately will
give Colorado as good roads as one
may find in any other part of this
country.
The employment of fQnvict labor
in road building has been success
iul; and 1t has given so much salts
faction that 1t will be continued
wherever adequate provision is
,ocally made for meeting whatever
expense may be involved. By sup
)lying the labor of convicts the
tate does its part: and 1t is in
cumbent upon local communities to
provide means of subsistence while
the convicts are at work. By this
means many miles of good road may
je constructed in a few years. But
dependence should not be placed
entirely upon the labor of convicts.
There are localities where the de-
nand for good roads is so great
that other provision should be made
for their prompt construction.
The width of roads is matter
which should be considered; and 1t
should be recognized that there is
no need of a roadway of more than
from Is to IS feet wide. The fine
roads of France are constructed in
this way. and they provide all the
traction space required. BY avoid
ing excessive width in public roads,
much needless cost would be saved
in both construction and mainten-

Sam Ball of Laporte to establish this

he had located the Indiana murderess

DENURRAGE LAW IS UPHELD
Supreme Court Passes on Its
COnstitutiOnaIity.

The Nolan reciprocal demurrage law
was held to be constitutional by the
state supreme court, Justice Jaggard
writing the opinion.
The case was brought to the supreme
court on appeal Of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific Railway company,
against which verdict had been
found in Rock county giving the Hard
wick Farmers Elevator company dam
ages amounting to $21S ana $50 attor-
neys' fees.
The law, according to Justice Jag
gard, was designed to insure the
prompt performance by the carrier of
it's common law duty to furnish cars
for transportation of freight and was
not displaced by the interstate COM
merce act.
He holds that the provision requir-
ing the payment of attorneys fees is
not invalid because it imposes a
charge on carriers and not on debtors
generally, inasmuch as the statute was
enacted in the exercise of the police
power of the state.
The law provides that carrier must
furnish cars to the shipper upon de-
mand, within forty-eight hours at ter
minal and seventy-two hours at inter.
mediate points, after the request is re
ceived. Failure to do this carries with
it penalty of 81 day and attorneys
fees.

ADUDDEL RAISE.

Mr.. S. A Knowles, former manag-
er OF the Newhouse tunnel, has been
awarded an important contract in the
Newhouse tunnel by the management
of the Aduddel mines, says the Ida
no Springs Gazette. The work con-
sists of driving a drift from the
Aduddel station to a point beneath
the shaft, the excavation Of large
working station and making a raise
to the bottom of the shaft on the
mine. The tunnel which will be in
part a crosscut from the foot wall
to the hanging wall of the vein and
a drift for short distance to the
point where the raise will be start
ed, will be a distance Of about 260
feet and will be comparatively sim
pie matter. The station and switch
from the Newhouse tunnel has been
completed heretofore. The raise OF
700 feet from the tunnel level, while
no more difficult than others of the
same kind in the tunnel, neverthe-
less calls for the highest character
of engineering. In this class Of work
Mr.. Knowles is one OF the most skill
full men Of the state and has had
much diverse experience. Under him
the enterprise will undoubtedly be
carried through without mistakes or
serious delays. The cost involved
runs into thousands Of dollars. 1t is
the prime feature OF the broad plans
for development and operation Of the
Aduddel mine which recently passed
to English owners Of whom Mr.. H. p.
Lowe Of Central City is the local
representative. The mine has long
record Of profitable operation and is
located upon one Of the finest lodes
OF the two counties.

Of several veins. The vein cut few

be extended a distance of 500 or 60C
feet before the desired distance is
reached. When work is finally stop

miles in length.
