explosives were carried out, and that
fire Of unknown origin in the bow of
the ship caused the explosion. The
men say they saw the fire before the
explosion.
With n exception the accounts
agree that there was only one ex-
plosion. A statement was made, how
ever, by William J, Bomhardt, assist
ant foreman of the s~tevedOres, in
which he said a box that he and an
other stevedore carried exploded when
they set it on the floor. After the ex-
plosion, he said, he and IA others
scrambled out of the hold and got on
to the deck of the tug Atlantic. Bonn
hardt said that when they got to the
tug they saw smoke coming from the
hold of the Alum Chine and that 20
minutes elapsed between the time the
box exploded and the big explosion
came.

ton by rail- and water. Good roads,
which are at least equally important,
have received practically nothing.
Howe yer, our government is at last
committed to federal aid in road i'm
provement. In the last session of con-
gress a provision for government aid
was placed in the postofice appro-
priation bill. This was duly approved
though the appropriation was cut to
100000. The plan calls for expert
mental roads of modern construction
in every state that is willing to appro-
pirate twice as much as it's allotment
Of the above sum. If it meets with
substantial support from the states
the government in due course will
doubtless appropriate all the money
needed at the above rate to improve
roads all over the country.
Road Work in Various States.
Rhod e Island, the smallest state in
the union, with al area of only 1850
square miles, holds first rank among
all the states in its percentage Of i'm
proved roads. Rhode Island boasts
49.14 per cent of her roads improved.
Howeve r, it does not follow that the
smaller states are the more progress
sive in the matter Of improving their
highway s for Delaware, the next
smallest state, with an area Of 1850
square miles, has only 6.22 per cent Of
improv ed roads, while Massachusetts,
been working on 1900 miles Of state
and co unity roads at a cost Of $22, OOO,-
900. The commissioners recently re-
ported that 5.9O7 miles of county
roads and 1910 miles Of state roads
will ha we to be built in order to COM
plete the system of good roads in that
state and has asked for a new bond
issue Of $4,000, 900 for the purpose.
The commission has also recommend
ed the planting Of shade trees along
the roa ds of the state and asked for
the cooperation Of the conservation
commission.
Mississippi has recently appropriate
ed So, OOO,O 900 for the construction of
good permanent roads. This being es-
s~entially an agricultural state, this i'm.
provement will be Of great value in
making millions of acres of fertile
lands more accessible and their cult
walton more profitable and will mean,
in fact, the dawn of a new era in Mis-
sissippi. il

Permanent Roads Needed.
The time has come when this coun-
try must consider the roads problem
seriously. There is nothing that will
yield such handsome actual money re-
turns upon every dollar properly ex-
pended.
The increasing use of automobiles
is providing a great stimulus to the
good roads movement, bringing to it's
active support an increasing number
of people who, as a class, have more
than ordinary means and influence.
Furthermore, the interest that is now
being displayed in the great national
highway across the continent through
the northern tier of states, and in the
Pacific highway from British Colum-
bia to Los Angeles, is helping to focus
attention upon the subject of good
roads.
Generally throughout the United
States, county and state governments
have been spending fair sums for sew
eral years on its alleged roads. But
these funds have usually been distrib-
uted in a name amounting to politi-
cal patronage, the work has nearly
always been spasmodic and unsys-
tematic-not according to any definite
or scientific plan-and the results
have usually been of a temporary ma
ture. Consequently enough money
has been practically wasted during
the last IS years to have provided this
country with a fairly complete net
work of good permanent roads if it
had been expended to better purpose.
What is needed is the working out
of some practical plans whereby ma
tional, state and county governments
may cooperate in going after the road
problem on a scientific and systematic
basis and with the idea Of making
such work as is done from year to
year of a permanent nature.
The United States government has
been very backward in the matter of
extending federal aid to the good
roads movement. The national gov
ernments Of England, France, Ger
many, and other European nations
have taken direct supervision of the
public roads and their excellence is
the principal reason why those coun-
tries have reached such a high stage
of intensive development and are cap
able of supporting the large popula-
tions they do. Our government, since
1873, has expended owe 1000, 600, 900
