From north ard south, from east and
west comes, as if by single voice,
the cry for better roads. The country
districts demand them to facilitate the
marketing of their crops. The towns
insist upon network of substantial
highways leading out into trade terri
tory, that the profits of their merchants
may become greater The autoist de-
mands them to make possible the open
ing up of new territory for his bust
ness and pleasure The public at large
demands them that land values may be
enhanced and the general good be in
creased. The agitation has reached into
county courts, state legislatures and
the national congress, so that today an
awakened people are looking for the
best information as to road construc-
ton to be found The subject is being
treated scientifically in the agricultural
schools; the government is flooding the
states with literature in which the re-
suits of careful scientific investigation
are set before the citizen without
charge. The result is a general de-
termination on the part of authorities
in every section of the United States
to get out of the rut and stand among
the progressive communities of the
country.
So great has been the agitation in
this country during the past few years
that congressman have been pressed by
constituents to secure the passage of
laws that would permit the govern
ment to participate in the road build
ing of the country. Nearly hundred

looks down from the rapidly-moving
train seemingly fathomless distances to
the jagged bed Of the canyon below;
or up toward the stars to where, hun
dreds of feet above, the mountain peak
pierces the blue, reaching, as it were,
for closer communion with the in
finite; then the mountain is entered
and the train energies after spell,
upon a change of scene that calls forth
new EXPLANATIONS of admiration and
wonder.
The expenditure of so much money
in country so belligerent has brought
loss to the capitalist during the recent
months. For Mexico is country of
revolutions and property rights receive
no consideration at the hands of the

One OF the SaddeSt items 1t has been
our lot to write up as correspondent at
this place for the DEMOCRAT is that of
the unexpected death of Mrs. John
Lucy, the beloved wife of John Lucy,
one of the prominent farmers of this
community. Mrs. Lucy was taken ill
on Monday the 18th inst, and was under
the care of DR.. Donovan, of Langdon,
who thought her condition to be improv-
ing. She lost consciousness about nine
o'clock on Thursday the 18th inst, and
died at twelve o'clock without having re-
covered consciousness. Dr.. Donovan
was present, accompanied by Rev. Father
O'Driscoll, of Langdon, and although
everything was done to relieve the pa
tient, death conquered, but the blow was
softened by the quiet peaceful manner in
which the change took place, like a child
falling asleep. The cause of death was
heart failure. The funeral took place at
half past ten o'clock in the forenoon on
Saturday the 18th inst, at the Roman
Catholic church at Olga, and the re-
mans we're laid to rest in the family
lot IN the cemetery here.
The funeral was unusually large and
the service very impressive. Rev. Father
O'Driscoll in a beautiful sermon greatly
comforted the bereaved family and
friends by reminding them of the Great
Comforter who came down and suffered
death that He might soften this terrible
penalty that all must suffer, and hold
the rich reward to be gained in the great
beyond.

happy union, three boys and four girls,

a most loving mother. She leaves behind
