This takes rank with another pro-

parts of Europe and some parts OF
this county of lining country roads
with fruit trees be adopted here also;
fruit to defray the cost of upkeep of
the public roads.
The idea of putting more fruit
trees into the parks was proposed
by a Chicago pastor who has been
awakened to the moral importance of
thrift.
Other pastors. rectors and priests
are taking up cudgels against the
extravaganza of the day and in some
cases cooperating with the thrift
movement. launched by the Society

RAILROADS NEEDN'T
FEAR PANAMA CANAL
Railroad Engineer Believes
Big Ditch Will Increase
Traffic.

Chicago, June 16-No effect from
the Panama canal will be felt by
the transcontinentol railroad of the
country. declares the new chief engl-
l,eer of the Chicago the Northwestern
system. w. H. Finley. whose appoint
ment in many ways is significant.
Mr.. Finley points to the growth of
traffic at Ntw York since the flrt
Brooklyn bridge was built to back up
his assertions.
years ago when the first bridge
was proposed from New York to
Brooklyn some of the ferry owners
protested that their business would
be ruined by the bridge, but there is
traffic for the ferries now than ever
although other bridges have been add
ed and rapid transit facilities increas-
ed.
"The Panama canal cannot affect
the tonnage for the railroads to the
Pacific coast for there will be loe
CT new traffic created for the road
by the canal"
Mr.. Finley's appointment as chief
engineer of the Northwestern, of
which for years he has been assistant
chief engineer. was the sequel to a
dramatic leave taking many years
ago when he left the employ of big
steel company in the East to go West
The officials of the steel company
declared he could never come back if
left and Mr. Finley Immediately de-
cided he wonld go regardless. He
did. and won distinction. Several OF
his associates of that dav are now at
the head of big engineering depart
ments in the east.

CANAL WILL REVIVE
RIVER TRAFFIC
Decrease i'm Cost of Transportation
Expected to Reduce Living Cost
in Central States.

Saltwater. Mimi. June 1.-THE an
nual convention of the Upper Missis-
sippi River Improvement association
is being held here and will last over
tomorrow. and the plan of river ter
minals advocated by the executive
council will be presented and thor
cughly discussed. River terminal
experts of the five states comprising
the association will handle the sub
iect. With the completion of the
Panama canal it is believed the nat
ural transportation route would be
over the Mississippi river, and while
the handling of freight in this manner
would mean IA loss to the easter !
markets and to the railroads, the de-
crease in cost of transportation
would reduce the cost of living in
the central and northwestern states.

STUDYING ROADS
in 100 COUNTIES
Federal Bureau Seeks Data
Looking to Standardiz-
ing Management.

Washington, June 17.-Detailed
studies of local roadbuilding systems
in 100 counties are now being carried
OH by the department of agriculture
in cooperation with the state high
way departments and local road au-
thorities.
The purpose of this study is to dis
cover the points of excellence and
defects in existing local methods OF
building and maintaining roads whish
will aid the state authorities to put
local road management on system
atized basis. The cooperating
State authorities have been asked to
designate counties that present typi-
Cal and exceptional features as to
topography, character of road ma
terials. methods of construction and
maintenance. administrative organlza-
ton. methods of road financing, AID
traffic conditions. From these lists
100 counties will be selected, and in
these counties the division Of road
economics will make intesive studies.
This investigation is prompted by
the fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most ef-
fective and economical methods by
which a county can develop it's roads.
At present the methods Of financing
local road improvements vary from
calling on farmers for certain num-
Der of days labor in lieu of a road
tax. or the use of county prisoners
III road construction, to bond issues
or maintenance of roads from dram
shop license funds.
The department will study all of
these systems with the view to de-
termining what system or combina-
ton of systems works best in actual
practice.
Great Waste Of Money.
There is. moreover. at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as a result. while some counties
know to a penny the purpose for
which money was spent, others have
10 definite check or reporting system.
Among various counties with the,
same conditions. cost for excavation
or other labor is anything but uni
form, and many counties, because Of
the absence of definite knowledge,
fail to use local and cheap materials
and construct roads which are un-
necessarily expensive for their pur-
pose. or which will wear out before
the bond issues are redeemed. The
investigation will include a careful
study of the use of convict labor in
road construction.
In connection with the scientific
study, the departments highway en-
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to- improvements, and
thus give each county visited the adj
vantage of direct cooperation, engi-
neering supervision and assistance.
These Investigations, it is believed,
will yield important economic data
bearing especially on the benefits
and burdens of road Improvement and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is iustifiable.
The heads of state highway de-
partments are manifesting great in
terest and are cooperating cordially
in this work. These data when OBJ
tanned will be published and thus
made accessible to all county and
state road officials

PROUD OF THEIR PEOPLE
Two Kansas District Judge Formerly
Lived in Wilson.

Wilson, Kan, Feb. 4.-This little
city Of 1,50O inhabitants not only takes
pride in it's name with a special pride
under the present administration in
the nation, but it claims that no other
city of similar size in Kansas has the
distinction Of having on the district
bench two Of it's former residents.
Judge Dallas Grover of Salina, of the
Thirtieth district, came here in the
early nineties, and was superintendent
of the city schools for many years,
later engaging in law practice, and
while living here was elected county
attorney of Ellsworth county. He
lived here in 1892, when he ran for
the state senate against Wesley B.
Helm. Judge ]. c. Ruppenthal Of
Russell, of the Twenty-third judicial
district, was also a Wilson boy, as he
first set foot on Kansas soil on alight-
ing here from a train in 1877, when
his father settled near Wilson. For
many years Wilson was the family
trading point and postoffice, and dur
ing 1885 the future judge resided and
worked in Wilson. When first a stu
dent at the state university. he was
listed as from Wilson postoffice.
