THE fact is gradually being driven
home into the heads Of even the
Levy Court members of Sussex
County, that one man can, and
does do better work in repairing
the roads Of a district, than the
dozen or more who formerly had
the disbursing of a hundred dollars
each and scattered that hundred
over the entire district but mostly
into their own or pockets of mem-
bers Of their families. In the First
District Of Sussex the levy court
man is doing excellent work along
the line of improving the public
roads by widening, grading and
surfacing them with gravel, and
credit is given him for his work gen
orally by his friends, and even those.
who oppose him politically. In the
Tenth District the levy courtman
also has done much this spring to call
forth the praise Of the local paper Of
Milton, and in other districts it is
found that the levy courtman is
aroused to the fact, that he must do
5 omething with the greater amount
Of the money which is expended for
roads in Sussex County, which
under the present system, is placed
in the hands Of the levy
with which to build better

THERE is one argument in favor
of building the proposed boulevard
either through or near to Milford,
which the routes west Of here cannot
advance. The new stone roads be-
ing built by the state of Maryland,
will parallel the Delaware State
line for practically its entire length,
and it would seem for the best inter
ests Of the people of Sussex County,
that the new road should be built
through that part of the county.
where the most Delawarians will
be benefited by tits construction.
The surveyors are working on the
route each day, and it seems an as
sured fact, that the road will be FIRST
built through Sussex County and
hen northward through Kent and
New Castle counties.

IN riding over the roads Of Kent
County this month the fact is i'm.
pressed upon the observer, that the
dirt roads Of most districts are splen-
did during nine months of the year,
and damnable in most districts dur
ing the other three months. Prob
ably the most prominent illustration
OF this fact is the road leading from
Frederick TO FELTON,, where the Levy
Court spent nearly two thousand
dollars in rounding the road over
and in other ways improving it with
the materials at the roadside. At
the present time, and possibly it
will remain so during the summer,
that road is a delight to ride over.
We are willing to be fair about this
proposition, and give credit for what
has been accomplished but, when
the partisan Democratic papers pro
claim that good road, i" in the /
sense Of a modern improved road, !
has been built, and the ten thousand /
dollars paid to the county each year
by the State Treasurer for the pur-
pose Of building improved roads,
after a modern plan, has been ex.
pended for that purpose, then we
must emphatically protest to mis-
statements Of facts by them, and
publicly announce that not one
mile, or half-mile of real modern
improved roads had been built in
Kent County by the Levy Court or 1
its members, in the county. In a I
few instances stone has been placed /
on the road beds, which have {
neither been graded or systematic
ally built and rolled to its proper
consistency, or grade, and this has c
been great improvement to such t
roads where treated, but as to real o
building work, nothing of the b
kind has been attempted. In CON S
verse with a prominent Democrat t.

Of the writer differed but little as to Re

The Press is in receipt of circular
letter from d. Glenn Deaver, of Oma-
ha, Nebraska, in which he sets forth
at length his commendai ion Of the bill
before the recent congress which pro-
yides that capital and labor may join
in the homesteading of public lands.
Mr.. Deaver sets forth that under this
law it would be possible for the cap
italist to furnish the money and the
homesteader to furnish the labor IN
acquiring title to the land. Just so'
Mr.. Deayer. But we Of the West
know all of the ins and outs of that
game. All we have to do is to CHE
you to the Wyoming and Utah coal

corporation secured possession OF the
lands by pungllng up 10" ooiiaie

ienoe with capital and unscrupulous
homestead entrymen, the result being
that capital gobbled up everything In

having in the "deal" being the trou-
ble to which he was put in finding

NIGHT or two and then collect his hun

After careful and exhaustive study
of market conditions in the Pacific
Northwest during the past eight years,
President Harvey Bsckwith Of the
Portland Commercial club, makes the
startling statement that prices paid to
farmers for eleven different articles of
food, all necessities, advanced 31'4
per cent between April, 1902 and
October 1910. and he lacks up his
statement by quotations from market
reports published in Portland during
that period.

In the year 1910 the Hartman lines
operated 1890 miles of railroads in
the United States and Mexico without
a fatal accident to single passenger.
This record is unprecedented in the
railroad annals of this country. The
lines reierred to are the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. This show
ing is the result of the general install
alton of block signals and safety de-
vices. The Hartman railroads op
crate more miles of automatic block
signals than any other road in the
world. This is a record of which to
be proud

The Walla Walla correspondent OF
the Associated Press evidently believes
Milton and Athena to be the only
towns in the Blue Mountain league
worthy of mention. In a dispatch TO
Portland paper relative to Walla
Walla joining the proposed Inland
League. be states that had the league
been proposed earlier in the season.
the garden city would doubtless have
been in. as that city is most too big
for towns the size of Milton and Ath-
ena. This is revelation totally un-
looked for, inasmuch as Weston, Pen
dleton and Echo are also turgs IN
cluded in the league. But always dld
the two Wallas go some in base oall,
and Milton will prove to be a worthy
foe this year. However, the Press
feels keenly the slight flung by the
Walla Walla scribe at Weston, Pen
dleton and Echo. Wood, the mascot
of the Weston Champions, may be de-
pended upon to defend his town from
all suoh premeditated and malicious
slurs as this emanating from the Wal
la Walla scribe.
