Representative Stephens Introduces
Bill For National Highway.
A national highway 10000 miles long,
circling the United States and running
strategically near the Pacific. Atlantic
and gulf coasts. as well as our north
ern and southern border lines, will be
constructed and maintained by the fed
eral government if the bill introduced
In congress by Representative William
d. Stephens OF California is adopted.
1t is proposed that the new highway,
which mainly is to be constructed for
national defense, shall cross the Unit
ed States, running eastward by the
most practical route through Califor.
mia, Arizona, New Mexico and the gulf
states to Jacksonville. Fla; thence
north through the Atlantic coast states
to Portland, Me. Commencing again
at New York city, the great roadway
would run westward through New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana
to Chicago: thence north to st. Paul
and west through the Dakotas. Mon
tana, Idaho. Washington and ut Seat
tie branch south the length of the Pa.
cific coast to San Diego.
It is also proposed to bind the inland
points to the main highway now form.

part Of the country would be on either

the great highways which already span
the country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The various sections through
which the proposed national highway
would run can be relied upon to give

1t is estimated that a bond issue OF

the roads already built and to con

the next fifty years. The supervision
of the roads will be in the hands of the

FORE IMPROVEMENT.
on gravel road in good condition.
about $500 pounds; on a macadam
road, from 1900 to 5000 pounds; and
on a brick road, from 5000 to 5000
pounds. From these figures 1t appears
that q horse on good macadam road
can do from three to five times as
~ muddy earth road.
One or two instances will show what
this means in actual practice. Some
years ago farmer in Sullivan county
Tenn, had to haul barbed wire dis
lance of twenty-three miles. The NEST
his two horse team could manage was
a load Of 500 pounds, and three days
were necessary to make the round trip.
The road has since been improved, ana
the same teaM now draws q ton with
out difficulty and makes the round trip
in two days. Estimating the time OF q
man and team to be worth So day.
under the old conditions it cost SIG to
haul ton Of the barbed wire. The
same amount of wire can now be haul
ed the same distance at cost of Sc.
In estimating the cost of hauling road
engineers usually adopt as the unit the
ton mile-that is to say. the cost OF
hauling one ton one mile. In the case
described the cost per ton mile under
the old conditions was $156 and under
the new $0.2G
Another significant instance is re-
ported from Crosby. Tex. For mile
out of town there was an excellent
road which terminated, however. in a
stretch of unimproved highway. A
farmer who lived four miles out of
town drove team Of two mules to the
railroad station to get two tons Of wire
fencing. This he was able to haul
without difficulty to the end OF the
shell road. There, however, he had to
throw off 5000 pounds Of wire and
hitch up two more mules to his wagon
in order to haul the remaining 1000
pounds Of wire over the unimproved
road to his farm. In order to carry oil
the wire he had to make three more
trips. Altogether to transport this wire
the four miles from the station to his
house took him from 10 o'clock one
morning until II o'clock the next morn
ing. II the shell road had extended as
far as his house he could have hauled
with two mules instead of four the two
tons Of wire in two and one half hours.
Because the farmer usually does his
hauling himself and therefore does not
have to pay cash wages for the time
wasted on bad roads the expensive
ness Of the operation is not so obvious
to him as 1t might be. There are times
however, when the loss that results
from poor means Of communication
cannot be ignored. Sullivan county
Tenn. affords another instance Of this
A farmer there some years ago had 1G0
bushels Of Irish potatoes, which he in
tended to market in Bristol during the
winter. On account of the condition
Of the roads, however, he put OFF going
to town and stored the potatoes in the
cellar. In the meantime the price OF
potatoes at Bristol rose as high as
$1.4O a bushel The roads, however
remained impossible and before the
farmer could get his stock to make1
he found that 1t had all rotted in the
cellar. While these potatoes were go
ing to waste a few miles away. car
loads Of farm produce were being ship
ped in by rail to feed Bristol and thu
adjacent territory.
