BroomhalI's Report.

Liverpool, April 26.-The wheat mar
ket at the opening was influenced by
:. e weakness in Winnipeg and the
lower closing at Buenos Ayres yester-
day and values were Ia lower. Fol-
lowing the opening there was free COW
ering by shorts, especially in the dis
tant months and prices advanced Ia
to 1-2 with offerings light. With the
exception OF Platte all spot grades were
steady at the opening and unchanged
with Manitobas firmly held and an
improved demand There were no car
goes off coast and those awaiting or
ders were in fair request and the con-
tinent continues to absorb rather free
ly. The Kansas state report was pri-
vately cabIed late yesterday and caused
support here and reports from Rou-
mania were less favorable. At 1870
p. m. the market was firm and I'm
changed to Ia higher. The corn mar
ket opened with May IA higher and
July IL higher and during the morn
ing a further advance of 1-S to IA
with further covering on the fewer Am
erican offers and covering by yester-
days sellers. Arrivals are light and
stocks are small. Broomhau.

Show Mo Interest in Good Roads.


According to a Fergus Falls paper
the people OF Otter Tail county do
not seem to care a. rap whether they
nave good roads or not. Last nights
Journal says
AZ the end Of the year there was
about $4,000 on hand and there was
SPLENDID opportunity to follow the
lead OF other counties in making some
good roads at the same time getting
back from the state some OF the money
which We have paid into the road fund
by taxation.
Instead of doing this, the sum has
been divided up into little dabs here
and there throughout the county in
such q way that no permanent re-
suits will accrue from its expenditures
So determined was a retiring member
OF the county board not to have any
state roads established that he an
ticipated the duties OF his successor
and apportioned the money throughout
his district ahead OF time.
Instead of developing our roads as
q system, Il seems TO be the policy
to take whatever funds are raised by
taxation and divide them into ave
pots and then each of the Ave COM
missioners divides his pot around
through his district. This is done in
a somewhat nearly fair way and It
Is no doubt satisfactory to many peo-
ple but SO long as 1t is done there will
never be good system OF roads built
In Otter Tail county. 1t is not FEAST
Bile to have eight men in a township
building eight different kinds of road.
Neither with the money scattered here.
there and everywhere can any per-
manent roads. be built.
