Toll Rates on Road.
Almost from the beginning of the
construction of the road toll of few
cents had been levied on the people
who passed the toll gates. which were
situated, sometimes five and some
times twenty miles apart. The rate
of toll in Wayne county was cents
mile for horse and buggy, " cent
for each additional horse and l cent
for a person leading a horse.
The first toll gate to be construct
ed in Indiana was near the Glen Mil
Ter park. which is considered today
the most beautiful park in Indiana.
Although the place of the toll gate was
changed at various times it remained
within a few rods of the Main street
entrance.

Mr.. Searight, who. from his minute

late to see the old National bridge

the old bridge Two stone abutments

by William Pagan for twenty-three
years, and afterwards by Mr.. Gard

the best gate keepers on the road.

Tried to Evsde Tolls.
1t is interesting to. note that despite
the benefits of the road to the people
of Wayne county there are those who
tried to evade the payment of the toll.
West of Richmond on the National
road, there lived an old, feeble wom-
an on an old farm, around which is
woven one of the first romances OF
the National road in Indiana. But the
romance does not concern us here.
The woman and her husband purchas-
ed and settled on farm in this part
of the country. Not far from the farm
house and between that place and
Richmond a toll gate was established.
Every time they went to the city they
had to pay toll. They had been pros
porous on the old farm and objected
to the paying of the toll. But their
objections fell on hard ground. So this
old man and this old woman under.
took the construction of road around
the toll gate through their own land
at a cost of several hundred dollars,
so they could evade payment of toll.
With the National road came the old
tavern. An interesting institution in

The second tavern to be construct
ed in Richmond, on the National road,
was between old Sixth and Seventh
streets which was known as Sloan's
Stage House. A portion Of this build
ing still stands although greatly i'm
proved. Here the stage of the fifties
stopped for the night or for the noon
day meal. The noted drivers Quench-

Another interesting tavern was
kept by Joseph W. Gilbert near Sixth

streets. This old building stands to-
day, although it has been remodeled
at various times and is known as the
Phillips house. Across the street on
the northeast corner stood a tavern
kept by Benjamin Paige, a New Eng
lander, and known as Meeks' corner.
Meek bought the building and remod-
eled it after the civil war.

The Hawaiian Islands have always
been famed for their freedom from
snakes. People and animals could
wander with impunity through val
legs and over hills and mountains. An
importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that might
have put an end to such delightful
serenity. This was the arrival of three
1imsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes. five of them rattlers.
Under a rule such animals arriving In
the territory; Of Hawaii are ordered to
be Immediately destroyed or deported.
. I'm the destruction of these snakes"
says the narrator. I'VE had surpris-
Ing experience, / placed the boxes In
one Of our fumigating chambers and
applied charge of double density Of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive at the end of fifteen
minutes, whereas If they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have succumbed In a. less number of
seconds. They were again shut up.
and quadruple charge Of the same
deadly gus was administered. At the
end Of one hour and a half the fumi.
gator was opened. and several OF the
snakes still showed signs of life We

There are frequent comments up

be something like $500 to 500 for
the leading candidates on the tick

lesser lights. This is for the pur-
pose Of carrying on committee work,
and does not include the personal ex-

PRO AND CON OF THE TARIFF.

PRO AND CON OF THE TARIFF.
Those who are assailing the pres.
ent tariff law tell us with one breath
that the tariff on agricultural pro-
ducts does not affect the price and
that we could get along without pro-
lection of our agricultural produce.
With the next breath they charge
the tariff with the increased cost Of
living. AS the increased cost of liv-
ing arises largely in the products Of
the farm and the soil, it is hard to
reconcile the different statements.
Bread, milk, eggs, butter, meat and
the products of the farm are high
and the farmer is getting the bene.
fit of extraordinary prices. II the
tariff bill does not help the farmer
to advanced prices, then the tariff
Is surely not responsible for the in
creased cost of living so far as food
products are concerned. The op.
ponents of the tariff cannot carry
water on both shoulders. They must
admit, either that the tariff does in
crease prices to the farmer, or that
it has nothing to do with the in
creased cost of living In the matter
of food stuffs.
But an article we published yester-
day gives an, illuminating view Of
conditions both in this country and
in Europe. The relative increase in
the cost of living in Europe is mot
greatly different from the increase
in this country. Yet the tariff law
does not apply in Europe. The Eng
fish workingman bears . heavier
burden than his American brother.
Yet England is a country Of free
trade. The cost of living must lis
deeper than local tariffs or the ma.
chinations of combinations. ,.,%

The early disappearance of the
snow and the unusual condition Of
the soil, which is mellow and in
workable condition, ought to give a
lively impetus to spring farm work.
While seeding may not be done
much earlier than usual, there will

fields in prime condition to receive
the grain. y ~ g. r

Mr.. Ballinger gives, | some interest
ing facts ami figures with reference
to conservation al in Ills st. Paul
speech. He tells us for example that
the supply of. coal that is available
in the country will last us for a. few
thousand years yet, and that. there
is no danger Of its being exhausted
in the next hundred years, as has
been gloomily predicted. = Mr.. Bal
linger also declares himself for sen
sible and practical conservation of
our resources, but not in favor of
theoretical or ~chimerical schemes,
based upon sentiment and not upon
hard sense. There seems to be a
grave difference of opinion as to the
merits of various conservation plans.
For example, the president of the
Great Northern road takes issue with
Director Newell of the government
reclamation service as to the .prac-
tical =. working Of the governments
plans and works in the interest of
reclamation of arid lands. The peo-
pie out in the Pacific coast country
take an: entirely different view of
the matter of forest reserves than
has been taken by heads Of the for
estry bureau. They do not want to
see an immense area of their states
constituted as a forest reserve, to
the shutting off of settlement and
development. The people of North
Dakota who have homestead lands
underlaid with coal, take a differ
ent view of the governments coal
land policy than do the: oficials of
bureaus who withhold these lands
from homestead, and who withhold
patents from the homesteaders. Mr..
Ballinger makes practical sugges-
ton as to the duty. of the states
with reference to the conservation
of resources within their own bor-
.ders. AS 1T is now, the matter Of
conservation is put largely up to the
government. But. the states have a
duty to posterity as we'll as the gen.
eral governemnt and there are doubt
less many ways in which we can
contribute to the cause Of wise and
intelligent conservation. ~.
