FINE STRETCH OF ROAD
Paving That Received Commen-
dation of Chicago Man;
Widell's Contract
Especial to The Free Press.l

st. Paul, May 1.-THE best long
strip of continuous paving l ever
travelled over" was the verdict on
the 35- mile pavement between Min
neapolis and Big Lake on Minnesota
trunk highway No. 8, volunteered
of the United States on paving prob
yesterday by c. R. Eye, Chicago, a
consulting engineer and recognized
authority on highway paving. Mr..
Eye advises engineers in all parts
lens but his inspection of the pave
ment on trunk hig hway No. 3 was
Lieutenant Colonel Norman d.
Dean, Sioux Falls. another paving
engineer of wide experience, &C
companied Mr.. Eye and concurred in
his opinion. No adverse criticism
was offered.
Charles M. Babcock state high
way commissioner, and John H. Null
len, assistant commissioner and
chief highway engineer, expressed
PLEASURE at the verdict, especially
because it completely refutes reports
highest standards. The reports were
circulated toward the end of the re-
cent session of the legislature.
Numerous stops for close ups of
various sections were made by Mr..
Eye and Colonel Dean between Min
neapolis and Big Lake. They prais-
ed particularly the system of tilins
and credited it for the unusual alb
sence of longitudinal cracks. The
reinforcing was pronounced good in
surance. Exceptionally smooth, easy
riding quality was attributed to the
elimination of ordinary expansion
joints. Minnesota paving excels in
other respects, the experts agreed,
and is generally of the highest quail
ity.
Mankato friends of Senator Gustaf
Widell will be especially interested
in the foregoing because it is an in
dorsement of an Important work by
the construction firm which he heads.
While the Minneapolis Big Lake
pavement is uniformly of high quail
ity, it is said that the section built

ST. CHARLES PARISH ROADS.

The public roads which parallel the
Mississippi river on the west bank
are graveled all the way from Port
Allen to New Orleans with the ex-
ception of that stretch which ira
verses St. Charles parish, and short
piece in St. John, where there is
no gravel. The people of the
parishes of East and West Ba-
ton Rouge, Iberville, Ascension,
St. James, St. John and Jeffer-
son have taxed themselves to build
and maintain hard-surfaced roads,
and be it said to the credit Of these
several counties, that their public
roads are practicable at all season of
the year and under any and all
weather eanditions. In st. Charles
parish, whether it is due to the fact
that the people have not yet awaken
ed to the necessity and Importance
of good roads, or to a disinclination
on their part to contribute a small
amount in extra taxes for their con-
struction, is not very clear, but it is
certainly a sad reflection upon the
enterprise of the people. of that par
ish, that they have not kept up with
the march of progress displayed by
their neighbors on either side in this
all-important matter.
There is considerable automobile
passenger and freight traffic along
the river roads. Travel through all
of the parishes except St. Charles, is
a pleasure, but when the latter par
ish is reached it becomes discom-
fort if not hardship, since the
earth roads are not even kept up and
are full of bumps and ruts, and dur
ing rainy weather traffic along these
roads is burden. Good roads is one
Of the most important issues before
the people Of the entire country.
Millions of dollars are being spent
annually upon their construction and
up-keep. The federal government
spends over $100,000,000 year for
the building of good roads. The re-
cent Constitutional Convention made
provision for the raising of aboRt
$3,000,000 annually to be used for
good roads, which have proven such
a boon to humanity. Nearly every
parish in the state has issued bonds
to provide funds to gravel their
roads, St. Charles parish alone has
failed to fall in line Surely the
people of that county are not worse
off than the people Of other counties
in the state, and the enormous
amount of traffic on the roads in ST.
Charles should. impel the people
thereof to follow the example Of their
neighbors and provide means to make
traffic on the roads within their
border safe, pleasant and comfort
able.

DOGS SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED.

This is the season of the year
when there is danger of dogs develop
ing that dreadful disease, hydro
phobia, and for that reason CANNES
of all kinds are at this time menace
to public safety. There are any
number of dogs, some perhaps good
and others worthless ours, roaming
the streets of the town at all hours
of the day and night During the
day they are constant danger to
pedestrians, while at night, by their
barking, fighting and howling, they
disturb the peaceful slumber of the
lnha bitants and become nuisance.
There is an ordinance which requires
the owners of dogs to pay license,
and to attach license tag to the
dogs collar. Notice should be given
to owners Of valuable dogs to pro-
cure their licenses by certain day,
after which all animals found upon
the streets without tags will be killed.
The cur dogs, as a rule, have no
owners, or their owners do not con
slider them worth the price of the
license, and these are let loose on
the community. The life of one hu-
man being is worth more than all
the CANNES in creation, and the au
thorlties should see to it that the
ordinance in question is strictly en-
forced and the animals, whether
good on worthless, kept off the street
before some innocent child or adult
is bitten by one of them and exposed
to the terrible disease.

New Candy Store.

Misses Bylsma and Gaudin, the en-
terprising young Donaldsonville girls,
who opened the Speciality Candy
Shop in Railroad avenue, opposite the
Elks' home, last Saturday, report
doing an exceptionally good business.
The candy which they make is of a
fine grade, deliciously favored, and
is sold at very reasonable price.
Those who have bought some of this
candy declare that there is none bet
ter to be had at any price. These
progressive young ladies are reserv-
ing OF a full measure of public pa
tronage, which it is hoped will be
accorded them. The Chief congratu-
lates them upon their venture and
wishes them every success possible.
