A Good Road in Wisconsin.
he has sacrificed to the common vel
fare.
At any rate, the office of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in other roads. even al
some sacrifice of better land. Inves-
tigation shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation OF
farm lines than from scientific atten,
ton to the problem OF road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted. where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road. 1t would have difficulty in pulling
1900 pounds up a steep hill. The size
of the load. therefore, tends TO be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market In mum
ber of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished. either
with no addition in road length in
some instances. and with the adding
Of only few feet to the highway in
others, The office knows of no case
where properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc
ton OF hauling costs.

RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Cutting Out of Grades on High
ways to Save Horses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The average life of horses and au-
tomobiles may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, according TO
the office of roads of the department
of agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out of new ones. The natural tenden-
cy in road building is to build Il
straight road, whether it goes over
steep grades or hills. or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office of roads is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently by
building a highway around a hill OF
grade, but little appreciable distance
is added and this is more than offset
by the reduced strain of hauling
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates. in some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures. in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through OLD
worn-out fields and over rocky knobs
This, OF course. must raise a question
in the mind Of the individual land
owner as TO whether the cutting up OF
his property by a road yields him in
dividual advantages and so benefits his
community as to OFFSET the use OF such
land for a road. or TO overcome the in.
convenience Of having his land di-
vided. In this connection the Office OF
roads points out that the running of
road and the resulting traffic through
a good farm, where there are good
sheep. cattle. horses. grain. fruit or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable. In other
cases. the Importance OF such level
road to the community is so great that
It might well repay those using the
road to give the farmer the equivalent
in land equally good in place of what

Those who know OnSloW county
and who are acquainted with her vast
store of undeveloped resources, know
that few rots are more bOuntifuliy
provided from Natures treasury. But
too few people know OnSlow. Those
who live outside and who claim an
acquaintance with Onslow, gather
their ideas from the railroad trip
across the county. Below Jacksonville
that trip is made over a continuous
sand ridge from Wilmington to the
South West creek. Above Jackson
Vile, lays an immence pocosin, that
holds possibilities enough for develop
ment but it will require an organlza-
ton Of capital, more than a few men
are likely to have to invest, to show
those possibilities. So those who see
our county from the A. G. l.. trains
that ply to and from New Bern and
Wilmington don't really see the devel-
oped part Of the country, and no part
of the county is developed to it's high

bond elections held in S~WansbOrO,
Jacksonville and Richlands townships
last Saturday. A large majority was
given for the railroad bonds in all the
townships, including Jacksonville,
where the proposition was thought to
hang in the balance. Richards and
Swansboro townships had been safe
from the start; but in Jacksonville
township. where prospects were for a
close election, vigorous campaign was
waged for and against the measure
which resulted in nearly a hundred
majority for the side Gas most people

The majority of the townships, in
fact~&all where elections have been
held through which the road will
pa4E have voted for the bonds to as
sist in the construction of the road.
On the 18th Of August, elections will
be held in the remaining townships.
There is little doubt but that the fair
ness Of the proposition and the splen-
did reputation of men behind it will
influence the voters Of these remain
