.NEWCOUNTY ROADS
COMMISSIONERS NAME HIGH
WAYS TO BE IMPROVED
Good Roads Leading to All Parts OF
the County VIII he Maia-
tained-Nlotor Tax VIII
Furnish FWnds

Good roads for all the county
that was the slogan the county com.
missioners today adopted when they
designated additional county roads
and directed that the money taken
In from the motor vehicle tax be
used in maintaining these roads
The county in the past has distri-
buted the tax to the several town
ships for road purposes, but now
the work will be done under county
direction. 1t is estimated that $4,000
will drag all the roads designated
as county roads and that the county
will supply from other funds the
amount needed to make the roads
first class.
The roads named are: The road
leading from the county line through
Manchester and Talmage. Joining In
Buckeye township with the road
that runs south from the Cheever
line. the road leading south from
the junction to Abilene: the road
leading south through Grant and
Newbern townships to Elmo; the
road running east and west from
county line, taking in Carlton, Elmo,
Hope and Harrington: the road from
Abilene to Enterprise. on to Ma
varre, and Hope; the road from the
north line. Of Liberty township down
to Woodbine and on through Union
township into Lyon township and
Herington: the road leading from
the north county line through Fra
grant Hill and Noble townships to
Chapman, joining at Chapman with
the Golden Belt.
The county commissioners some
time ago named the Golden Belt |
road. At that time the mis-
understanding arose that the tax
from motor vehicles would be
expended on that road and on no
other. This was a mistaken idea and
the present action of the board will
make good roads all over the county.
The commissioners are inspecting
road work in Lincoln township this

in the establishment OF adequate
wireless connections with other parts
OF the Far East. definite acton has

reasons and apparently the colony IS
no nearer Il realization Of its demands
in this line than it was four years
ago when an American concern
sought concession from the colo
NAL government for establishing a
service in the colony. The colonial
government has made an appropria-
tion from year to year for the estab-
fishing of a plant and it is now prom
ised that something definite may be
done in the course of the coming
summer. In the meanwhile the col

YATERLAND, ON
FIRST VOYAGE,
MAKES RECORD

The distinction of being the largest
vessel III the world must be accorded
the new Hamburg America liner Va
terland. which left Southampton on
Friday last on her maiden voyage to
New York. She had started from the
Elbe on the previous day.
The Eaterland is a slightly en-
laTged edition OF the ImperatOr, which
the same company put on the New
York service nearly year ago, and
third ship, as yet unnamed. but
understood TO be still larger, will be
launched By the Kaiser next month.
and Will be ready for service a year
hence, says the London Times The
beam of the Natcrland is 100 feet or
two feet wider than that OF the In
peratOr, and her overall length Tex

adorned the bow of the earlier vessel
is $50 feet. or nearly 40 feet greater.
the result being an increase OF some
5000 tons in her gross tonnage, which
is stated at about $4,000. In general
arrangements she closely resembles
the ImperatOr, though she naturally

OF other changes as compared with
the Imperator the most striking are
in the smoking-room and the dining
saloon. The former has been greatly
enlarged, the officers quarters. which

to the bridge above, so that its win.

been enlarged, and with it's length of

able to seat 800 Deople.

MONTREAl--Now that the first
burst of excitement and grief AT the
loss Of life through the sinking OF the
c. p, Z. steamship Empress Of Ire
land has partially spent itself. and
the general public is settling down
TO await the government enquiry be-
fore giving Judgment as to the respOn-
sibility for the fTightful accident, the
controversy between the commanders
Ct the two vessels involved is loom
ing large on the horizon. Doubtless
each of them feels badly over the
event itself. but at present it seems
to be a case of blaming the other feI.
low and shifting the blame as far as
possible.
Captain Kendall, OF the lost ship
tells the coroner at RimOuski that the
captain Of the collier StOrStad might
have prevented loss Of life if he had
kept the Storstad's nose in the gap
she made in the Empress side. Cap.
tain Anderson, of the StOrstad. in an
interview in Montreal says he did
try to do this, but the Empress was
going at good speed ahead and drew
q way III SUN manner tIldC llle DOW
of the StOrstad was forced out of the
hole

is to the effect that the captain Of
the StOrstad was at fault, first in pro-
ceeding ahead when the Empress of
Ireland had signalled that she was
under way. but is stopped and has

backed up by his chief engineer. Will
