INTEREST IN ROADS GROWS
More Attention Now Given to I'm.
provement in Highways Than
Ever Before in History.

The good roads movement is seeing
becoming normal. The most impOr-
tant program that has recently come
to our attention is that of the state
OF Michigan, which has just voted in
favor Of a $50,000,000 program that,
when carried out, will place Michigan
On the map big so far as good roads
are concerned, writes Birkett L. Will
liams, truck sales manager for large
motorcar corporation.
Everywhere else you see also more
period in our history. 1t is true to say
that the war and it's needs taught, us
the value of good roads. Perhaps it
did. Perhaps it brought home to those
dull ears Of higher ups the supreme
importance of an intelligent system of
navigable highways. But more and
more it comes home to the man who
studies the situation that back Of the
good roads movement must be the or
binary man, the average man who
pays taxes and votes and thinks as he
votes.
The farmer or rural dweller in GER
tain sections for a long time stood In
the wayne wanted the roads, but he
didn't want to pay for them. He did
not realize that in the long run good
roads pay for themselves out of saw
ings made to the community in haul
age Of people and merchandise. But
the farmer today is reckoning in units
of time.
Yes, he realizes the value of min
utes throughout the season-and he is
just as keen in conserving time as the
city-bred man who operates big fac
tory; if anything, be is a bit keener,
for seasons do not wait and crops must
be sowed and cultivated, reaped and
marketed at the right time. He has
convinced himself that time is money.
And he knows that good roads save
time and that they save time largely
because they make it possible to get
satisfactory services from mOtOrcars
and mOtOrtrucks. And he is not, one
bit blind to the fact that operating cost
is largely Influenced by road cOndi-
tiOns-that good roads make gasoline
more elastic, rubber and steel more
durable and bring markets nearer, and
ueS out of all proportion to the cost

The old rivals clash
Come, you can't afford

of good roads to any one individual.
Therefore, the farmer is now back of
road Improvement.
Does the city man feel any interest
in good roads? Ask your neighbOr.
II he doesn't own an automobile he eX-
poets to own one, and he knows all
about where the good roads are and
what they mean. But when his infiu-
ence counts big, the greatest impetus
has naturally sprung from the numer-
Gus army of m0torcar owners to whom
mOtorcar ownership has made the ter
ritOry for miles around his neighbour
hood.
Counties and states where good
roads have become q steady part of a
progressive program of legislation have
seen values shoot up in the most sur
prising fashion, and this, again, has
brought home the fact that good roads
pay for themselves. Thus it is natu-
raj that the years 1919 and 1920 will
see the most stupendouS good roads pro-
grams inaugurated in America that the
world has ever known. This will
result in the wider utility of motor
cars and motortruckS and, of course
prove big aid to the solution of the
freight traffic problem.

ARM|ST|CE KILLED
MANGANESE INDUSTRY

Butte, Mont, Feb. 5.-Signing Of
the armistice November IL, 1918,
automatically ended the manganese
industry in Montana as it made pos
sible the release of shipping for the
importation Of this product from
Brazil and Cuba at a lower figure
per ton than it could be produced in
this state.
only another war;, and we hope
there will never be another one"
said one of the chief engineers of
the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany," can revive the industry in
Montana. The outlook is hopeless
although the Anaconda company, at
the request Of the government con-
structed a ferro manganese plant at
Great Falls at a cost of $3.50. 900.
This plant produced approximately
1850 tons Of manganese, which car
ried manganese content of 80 per
cent, 10 per cent iron and 4 per cent
SILICA. 1t was especially desirable
for steel manufacturing because OF
its concentrated manganese, but not
a pound had yet been sold when the
armistice was signed, consequently
we still have it on our hands,"
Brazil and Cuba can deliver on
the wharves of Baltimore manganese
for $3.50 ton whereas its cost OF
production to Montana producers is
approximately $40 a ton to which
must be added the freight rate to
Pittsburg of s11 a short ton.
1T is impossible to think of tar
iff large enough to make profitable
domestic production of manganese. "
said the Anaconda engineer. ''The
only thing which could revive the IN
Idustry in Montana would be the es-
tablishment of steel manufacturing
in Great Falls, so as to eliminate
freight rates. 1t is questionable il
manganese production could be de.
veloped to an extent large enough to
warrant this"

taken by Bavarians In three German
