Woman Boss Of Lumbermen.

Mrs. Mary Gregory of Damariscotta,
Ne. is the first woman to have charge
of a gang of lumbermen. She is the
mother of six children and until a
few months ago did all the work of
cooking and caring for a gang Of p
woodsmen besides her own family.
Finding that she had still many idle
hours on her hands, she applied for
work as woodchopper. She soon
proved herself such an expert chop
per and sawyer that a few weeks ago
she pitted herself against the best
two men Of the camp. She not only
did more work than either of them,
but more than both together. 1t was
soon after this that the owner Of
the lumber camps appointed her boss
of one Of his largest gangs Of lum-
bermen.

BY ALBERT s. DALE.

TN the United States there are
about 100000 miles of improved
roads. As we have over 2.200.-
600 miles of highways altogether
in this country. it a easily be seen
how the important question of 0 a
improvement has been neglected.
No road is as expensive as a bad
one. One hundred million dollars are
spent yearly in building and maintain
ing good roads, and it might safely be
said hat three times that mount is
lost by bad road tax The average
farmer to whom the good road would
mean profit must travel owe miles Of
I'll kept roads at the cost of time and
energy. He must pay as much to
ship a bushel Of wheat from the farm
TO the railroad as he does to ship the
same from New York to Liverpool,
3.100 miles.
The railroads of the country handled
last year some 500, 100000 tons, of
which 265, 100000 tons represented ag-
ricultural. forest and miscellaneous
products. which were carried v
country roads. The average haul from
the farm to the shipping point is one
fourth of a mile, and the average cost
Is % cents a ton per mile. The total
cos of hauling 265. 100000 tons is
$572, 1000. or about $216 a ton.
These figures are astounding and
shameful. as England, Germany and
France average 10 cents per mile a
ton and even less.
BIG SAVING POSSIBLE
We can readily see by these facts
that the United States is far behind in
the improvement Of its road system.
II the lives OF the 100000 horses
and mules. valued at $500. 600. 600.
and the 100000 carriages and wag-
ons. valued at $S3 ,OO0, 900, were length
ened one year by easing their strain,
which could be accomplished by build
ing better roads, the United States
would be the richer by millions of
dollars.
1t is a well known fact that property
AUDITING an improved road increases in
value. This is true all over the world.
A proof of this was shown in a recent
investigation in Ohio. Figures from a
number OF counties, some containing
poor roads and others good highways.
showed that property values We're 50
per cent higher In the good roads coun-
ties.- A leading cause for the depopu-
lation of a town or a community and
the movement cityward is the lack of
road improvement.
Latterly, however, a movement for
betterment has taken hold. The United
States government Office of public
roads. approved in 1898 by congress.
has maintained a steady campaign for
good roads. Under Director Logan
Waller Page thousands of persons new
er before interested have been shown
the benefits of improving the highways.
The roads office a few months ago sent
out a train of instruction which cover
ed over 1000 miles. taking the good
roads gospel into hundreds of towns
along the route.
