Growth of Good Roads

While an enormous amount of work
remains to be done, the national high
way system is no longer a reproach
to the country. A statement recently
shows that of all OF the mileage out
side Of the cities and towns, amount
ing to 2,452,000 miles, about 277,O0O
miles were improved with some sort
of surfacing at the beginning of the
present year. The total expenditure
for road and bridge work in 1915 was
about $282,000,0O0, being an increase
of ESQ per cent over 1904. The states
supervised the expenditure of $80,5O0,-
600. There is highway department
in every state government, except
those of Indiana, South Carolina and
Texas. The cash expenditure for
roads and bridges in the United States
averages $109 mile. The significant
feature in road development is doubt
less due to automobile traffic. The
farmers Of the country yelled them
selves hoarse in attempts to get good
roads for many years, but what they
. failed to secure alone has been read
lily Obtainable since the automobile
came into more general use. There
are approximately 100000 automo-
blles in use on the roads of the coun-
try, or one car for every mile of road :;
and the motor traffic is now greater
than was the traffic Of all kinds twelve
years ago. The influence of the auto
mobile upon road improvement reach
es the remotest rural regions, and
tends to convert bad roads into good
| ones, and good roads into better ones.
In the beginning the farmers enter
| tanned very strong prejudices against
motoring, but now tens of thousands
| of them are making profits by cater.
ing to the passing motorists. Many
more have been converted to the new
manner of transportation by reason

evening we had for supper soup, three
large porkchops, baked potatoes,
green garden peas, bread, butter, cof-
fee, and one-quarter of a pie each, all
splendidly cooked and well served,

towns. It's first success was attained
in la ge centers, whose foreign popu-
latiOn had been educated to it's use
in their own countries. Residents of
interior places find a good deal of
difficulty in reconciling the placing of
their money in the local post office,
when they have 1all knowledge that it
is to be carried direct to the home
bank and placed on deposit by the
government. They have argued that
if the government has such faith in
the local banks, then why should the
individual be so charry fDout depos-
iting directly with them. The post
office department reports an increase
of $5,000,000 in deposits last month
At the department it was said that
the gain is due to the removal of re-
strictiOns on the amount that may be
accepted, and is also one of the re-
suits of nationwide prosperity. The
New York post Office has more than

LETTERS FROM
NEAR ANCHORAG E

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Attridge, 217
Tenth street, BaraboO, have received
a number of letters from their son
and daughter-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harvey H. Attridge, now at Talkutna,
Alaska. Mr.. and Mrs. Attridge were
married in Montana last May, and
soon left for Anchorage, tide-water
terminal Of the railroad being built
by the United States government in
Alaska. Seward is on the main
coast, and the new town Of Anchor
age is quite distance almost due
north on Kuik Arm, a small subdivi-
sion of Cook Inlet. Anchorage, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Attridge first landed, is
new town at the end of branch of
the main line railroad running north
from Seward. The following state
ments are taken from the letters writ
ten by Mr. and Mrs. Attridge from
time to time:
A portion Of Alaska they have Wis
tied is a cold, barren, snOw-cOvered
country. The walls arise abruptly
from the water edge to heights vary
ing from a few hundred to several
thousand feet.
Cordovia and Valdez are better sit
uated than Ketchikan or Juneau, both
hoinp cs;+,,o+od on small Ao+c with
more room for expansion. There is
small space for the development of
fertile industries. Between Cordovia
and Valdez is, [ believe, one of the
most beautiful and picturesque spots
in the world, namely, Sandlock Har-
Dor. 1t is a small, narrow inlet about
twenty miles in length and nearly
wide enough for an ocean vessel to
turn. The mountains on either side
arise almost perpendicular to a height
of several thousand feet, with streams
and waterfalls racing down the sides,
forming a scene which would put to
shame almost any of the mountain
scenery in the states. Some of the
waterfalls are more grand that Mag
ara.
Population of Seward
Seward has a population Of about
1900, and is thrifty little city. 1t is
located on beautiful town site, with
perfect drainage and plenty of room
for expansion.
Furniture Chases Passengers
We met with very little rough sea
until after leaving Resurrection Bay,
on which body Of water Seward is To-
waited. About two hours from Seward
we encountered a very rough sea, the
chairs and tables chasing the passen-
gers to and fro across the social and
smoking rooms of the boat. Many
gave up all they had eaten during the
previous hours, and regretted they
did not have more to give up. Only
about thirty were ready for breakfast
the next morning.
Ashore in Lighter
When we reached Anchorage we
were put ashore in government
lighter. That is the worst feature at

The Lack of Thrift

Gently completed, only SO people Of
each 1000 have savings accounts,
whereas in Australia there are 800;
England, 3O2; Germany, 81; France,
346; Belgium, 1893; Switzerland 554.
TIT is also significant that in Germany,
France England and Japan the num-
70er of depositors is greater than in
the United States, and that in Ger
many the aggregate amount of saw
ings deposits is almost as large as the
aggregate in the United States, al
though Germany's population is only

To- Teachers.


There are six ways in which pupils
may be admitted to the county High
School with free tuition. Two of
these are by common school diploma
and on the recommendation of the
teacher There viii be no questions
sent out to the teachers this year for
holding examinations as was done last
year, but any teacher desiring to hold
an examination for his eighth grade
may prepare his own questions and
hold the examination. The teacher
may then recommend such ones as
pass the examination successfully to
the Superintendent, if he deems them
worthy, and this will entitle them to
free tuition in the County High
School. We are anxious for as many
as can to take the Common School
Diploma examination the last Friday
and Saturday in January, for we are
to have graduation exercises for all
who pass it successfully at our next
institute. Respectfully,
