Good roads promote prosperity; bad roads pro-
woke profanity.
II the roads around a town bad, il might
well be on island.
In considering roads, remember that there
few towns that look good to the farmer that he
will kill horse to get there
III fares the town, to Fastening lls prey where
teams turn out to 60 better way.
Good roads will increase health, happiness, educa-
ton. religion and morality
Good roads will decrease profanity, discourage
ment, back taxes, sheriff sales, sour grapes and
srouches.
Good roads invoke blessing upon any people
who build them.
Good roads will keep people in the country, and
win bring the city folk out for fresh air.
Mr. l. W: Page Director Of the Office Of Public
Roads at Washington, says: Between $500, 100000
and 81 ,000. 000 900 would be saved annually in the
United States if every State would improve its main
highways to the highest point Of efficiency"
How much would be saved il, besides main
Highways" all the township roads and side-nes
improved that uniform maximum load could be
hauled from every farmers gate?
The farmer whose farm lies off the main highway
only take to market such load he haul from
his farm and If he only haul half Of proper load
to the main highway, that will be al he take to
market.
So it i plain that to get the best Of the roads,
there must be completed system which will include
the township roads well the county and State
highways.
The main country highways are, of course, those
into which rural traffic converges it makes its way
to the markets.
They will include roads leading to the county
towns, perhaps chiefly, but also roads leading to
such other towns within and without the county
a. attract considerable share Of the traffic. These
much travelled highways should, therefore, have the
first attention. The way to money is to borrow
enough to build PERMANENT ROADS ON CON-

THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat and Oats Make Gains
Corn and Coffee Lose.

The market for wheat futures yester-
day was Of whipsawing, technical char
acter. Bulls counted on the decline Of
more than 5 cents a bushel within the
last ten days TO bring about a reaction,
aided by the government report making
the crop 100000 bushels less than the
popular estimate, and bullish news Of the
European crops, and early prices We're
&Q7sc higher Private advices from the
Northwest indicated by thrashing returns
a much larger yield than the government
estimate, receipts in the Northwest were
very heavy and Minneapolis stocks showed
an increase of 10000 bushels for three
days. On these points there was a sharp
Southwestern movement hardened the
market toward the close, which was at
q net gain for the day OF s4QlS. Corn
felt the effect of the government report
and sagged steadily all day, ending with
a net loss Of lsQ1hc. The report on oats
showed that expectations OF a very large
crop were justified, but the market held
steady after a slight decline, and closed
at unchanged TO &c advance
Traders In coffee who were not In con-
nection with the controlling interests
were at sea regarding the future course
Of the market, and although trading was
quite active prices tended steadily down
ward, on the idea that the big advance OF
last week was based on frost damage
reports, which had not been fully verified.
The foreign markets were irregular, and
cost and freight offers were down 10
points. The futures market closed at
decline Of 2 to 10 points for the day.

CURB ECHOES.

A cavern occurred at South Porcuplne
last week, due directly TO water from
Pearl Lake breaking into a drift of the
Schumacher mine. Sixty feet Of roadway
was carried away. which disturbed the
foundations OF some buildings. Tho local
branch Of the Tradere' Bank nearly fell
into the chasm. but was held and is hang
ing in a dangerous position at precip-
itous angle. Firing round OF shot caused
the water 10 cut up capers, and the Schu-
maker miners are now working very
carefully, as had they been near the drift
when the break occurred II Is said they
would have been drowned.
