A proposition, said to have been
made by a West Virginia attorney
in a test case for mail contractor
will prove of interest in the Vir-
ginia mountains.
The case in point is where tn
contractor was fined or "docked'
for failure to perform service and
where such failure was attributa-
bic to snow blockades in the public
highway. The attorney is of opln-
ion that under such circumstances
the contractor so fined has recourse
Or redress and that the county Of
ficlals are responsible, that it is
their duty to remove snow as well
as any other obstruction to the
public highways: and failure to do
50 makes them liable.
Apropos of this subject, has it
occurred to our officials that with
an expenditure of few hundred
dollars at most and the exercise OF
competent judgment the drifting OF
snow on the western slope of the
Monterey mountain and on ALE
ghany might be entirely prevented?
Observation has shown that these
drifts are due to local causes close
fences, buildings, large rocks or
encroaching brush or timber, and
it has been found that the replac-
ing of rock and rail fences with
wire stops the drifting. There is
a place in point on Allegheny and
one just north of Monterey.
at some points it may be neces
sary to erect tall, plank fences as
breaks, but assuredly the matter
is worthy of consideration and eX
pertinent.
May we not hope that this prob
lem, Assured at first blush, is one
that will be successfully solved at
an early day in this progressive
age.

IN THE INTEREST or MOUNTAIN ROADS

The Harrisonburg News Record
argues for the amendment of the
present law governing the constrnc-
ton of highways by the counties,
aidad by the State, so as to provide
that all the labor, exclusive of
convicts of course, sail be employed
directly by county officials.
The proposition probably is a
wise one. 1t mig ht make for
economy.
The Journal would like to see the
law amended in another and more
important respect. The law at
present p Divides that highways
constructed with the aid of the
Stale shall have grade of not
more than 5 per cent. Our noun
tain contemporary knows the
practical impossibility of making a
road of any length in one of the
mountain counties without having
IN it hill, smashing the 5 pei cent.
provision into smithereens.
In Eastern Virginia, with few
hills and no mountain, it is possible
to comply with this provision,
upon which State aid is conditioned.
1t is impossible for the mountain
counties to derive that measure Of
benefit from the law which they
desire and which they would
receive but for the 5 per cent.
grade provision.
The. Legislature should amend
the law as to provide that counties
IN the mountain section, specifically
FAMED, may receive State aid fol
roads of s per cent grade.-Rich-
mond Journal.
A sill more practical and impor'
tant amendment. so far as the
mountain counties are concerned
would be to provide for the build
ing of cheaper class of road On
the mountains proper. On the oc'
casion of a visit to this section not
long ago, a highway commission
representative declared that, for
miles on many of our mountain
slopes, elegant road material was
plentiful, right at hand, for splen-
did highway, the necessary thing
being to widen the road bed, open
side bitches, submerge the water
breakes, round up nicely with ma
terial at hand and pack with heavy
roller.
In this way many miles of road
could be built at one-third the cost
of macadam, and timorous officials
would more readily join in the
movement.
If such provision could be made
to apply to the inter-county roads
arteries of trade > it would mean
much to the small county of High
land. As it is, the outlook for any
share in State funds is remote, for
it is practically impossible to meet
the conditions.

opinion of Captain Dennis Sullivan

The main reason for the delay in

This is because there is rate ad.

in transportation via Montreal over
United States Atlantic seaboard points
The situation may be gagged by recent
figures. From May l to July 10 Of this
year Montreal exported 55,000000
bushels of grain. Under ordinary cir
cumstances this total would be larger
at this time.

Mahan Shows Need to Maintain Posi-

New York, Aug. Rear Admiral
Alfred T Mahan, u. S, retired, au-
thority on naval affairs Monday ex-
pressed the opinion at Quogue, l.. l.,
that England must at once throw her
fleet against Germany for the one chief
purpose of maintaining her own posi-
ton as a world power.
For England he said, it was a ques-
ton. if she remained out of the war,
of sacrificing her empire in the next
generation to the interest of this gen

Rear Admiral Mahan also holds the
view that Italy must join the war with

the triple alliance, but as an ally of
France and Russia
Italy must take this step. he said,

salvation of the Balkans, which are al

The Duke of Connaught had arrang-

With hostile cruisers on the Allan
