1 Convincing a Road Knocker. While Stimuli O. Lancaster, a government good roadu expert, was lecturing at Spokaue on im proved highways, li ' said, according to the Spokane Review : There are some excuses made for not having roads. While engaged in the coustructim of the roads in a certain community I heard one day, while we were sitting under the shade oi some trees and talking with ihe m n who were working on these roads, one man say ho didn't believe ill that 'hard road proposition anyhow." And I knaw lie was earning $38 a week in I he construction ot this road, that he was a poor man and had a! small farm ami was earning more than he could in any other way, and L said to him : " 'Smit h, what, is the matter? Why are you against this proposition?" 4 He said, 'Mr. Lancaster, I ^ own a little farm, and I have some wood on that larin and during the winter months, when I can't do anything else I haul the wood to town. Now, you build these roads and anybody can get to town Ht any time of the year, and everybody will be hauling wood, and my wood won't be worth so much." "I didn't pursue the argument there, I simply left. And the next winter, when the roads were real bad, I went out with my camera to get some photographs to illustrate something I wauled to say about g< id roads, and I met Smith with his team and a load of wood coming into town. He had on that wagon a cord and a quarter with an ordinary team of mules, and I began to laugh when I saw the man because I remembered his state ment, and lie began to smile. I said to him, 'Smith, how much wood have you on thi-1 wagon?" "He said, 'About a cord and a quarter." 44 'And how much did yon used to get for your wood?' I asked him. i4 'Three dollars,' he said. it /1171. -i i- ? ' - *>v niii an you ger. lor that ?" ^ ii iThree and a half.' ' He had never pot more I ban $2.75 or $3 before. He was i making enough to pay his taxes on that road for three years in one day's time, lor he was then able to haul three loads a day where before he was ab'e to haul but. one. "Roads can be built in almost any community which will not be a burden to that community. In fact, I have seen it several times over where the town had issued bonds, sometimos large sums, beloro the roads were completed enough revenue had come in the shape of investment and the increased citizenship to pay the increased taxes which were mad" nec^ssarv on account of I he bonds necessary for the roads.
