MORE ABOUT
 GOOD ROADS

Even with a high powered automobile that could keep up a pace of 90 miles a day indefinite ly, it would take a man more than 65 years to cover all the public roads in the United States. A young man of twenty start ing out to accomplish thls tre- mendous task would be S5 be- fore he had covered the last mile of public highway Tn this count ry.
 After an investigation extend ing over many months, Logan Waller Page, Director of the Office of Public Roads, has ascer- tained that there are now ?, ,199.- 645 miles of public roads in the United States. The figures in clude all the new roads built up to the year 1909. In 1904 there were exactly 2,151, ,379. It is ap- parent. therefore. that the in- creased mileage of new roads within a period of about five years has been 48,266.
 "The investigation just con- cluded." said Director Page. in an interview, "shows conclusive ly that the movement for the inn provement of public highways has obtained firm grip on the country. The percentage of roads which were really improved, a. mounted to TIA in 1904, while in 1909, to which year statistics are now available, the percent age was S:66.
 "It is interesting to observe the growth ofimproved methods in road construction. For in stance, the total mileage ofstone roads in 1904 was ISIS, while in 1909 it was 59, ,237. The total mileage of gravel roads in 1904 was 1O9,9O5 while in 1909 it was only 1O2,87O. The decrease in gravel roads, however, was due to a reclassi6cation of roads. Many of those reported in 1904 to be of gravel proved to be of some other substance, while congregations were eliminated.
 "The total mileage of sand clay, brick, bitumlnous- maca- dam and other improved roads in 1904 was 6,SO6, while in 1909 the mileage reached os, ,372."
 The Rev. Jacob White is ex- pected this week and when he arrives will be the guest of the Rev. Joseph L. Meade.

Winslow News Notes
 From the Winslow Mail
Patsey Gets Busy
? Winslow Mail

(Special.) The uprising against the United States by our sister government has been suppressed t?) through the untiring efforts of number of prominent citizens oi one of the liveliest towns in Northern Arizona. There has been an insect discovered that exists only one at a time in each county in this section of the coun- try The name of the mule has not yet been determined upon, but Pisano has an idea that 1t is a decendent of Darwin, who dis covered the Crater Mount. The President and Secretary of War of the United States have taken Geep interest, and have spared no money nor pains (not Payne's Celery Compound) to foster the insect. as he or she. might be, can raise more Hades to the square inch than any other lizard or creature that has yet been found. In fact China( a(ware) is not in it, and when it comes toAngostora cats, shetland ponies and bric-a- brac, the insect is there with the goods. Even the widest cock reaches back away from the beast. Don't monkey with the wrench. It also seems to have a musical education, as 1t can play an upright piano, a jews harp or a Victor Victrola. At one time, it has been shown that the birds name was Patsey, but on further investigation it has been learned that the name is Patrei- cia. The insect still exists.

TO Duplicate Feat of Amund-

Wellington. N. News has at

Robert F. Scott's polar expedition.
The Terra Nova, which carried the
British expedition to the Antarctic,
has arrived at Akaroa, harbor on
Banks peninsula, New Zealand, but
has not brought back Captain Scott
or the members of his expedition.
The commander of the Terra Nova
brought instead the following brief
message from Scott:
Il am remaining In the Antarctic
for another winter in order to con
tinue to complete my work"
The latest news sent back by Cap
tain Scott to his base at McMurdo
Sound showed that on January 3 he
had reached point $50 miles from
the south pole and was still advanc
ing. 1t was clear that had the ex
plorer delayed sending back notifica
tion of his progress until he actually
reached the pole, word from him
could not have been received by the
Terra Nova before she was compelled
to leave the setting in of winter and
the freezing of Ross Sea.
All on board the Terra Nova are
well. Great disappointment was felt
when it became known that the Scott
party had been left behind.
