Not I content wltli the immense volume of j earnings of the intramural systems, the i street railway Interests Lave invaded j the country with long iifterurban lines ! that are already projected all the way j across large states, says II. W. Perry i (a* H/wv/l Pnflda \ff a rm vlnn These street railway*, or electric tracI tlon roads, are Dot to be Ignored by the ! good roads workers. They must be I studied for the purpose of determining I the effect they will ereotually have up wmm HARD OS THE UOU&E. od highway travel, whether toward in* creasing or decreasing its volume or as reducing the length of haul by horses and wagons and changing its direction. Practically all of these railways parallel important highways between the principal cities and towns. Many of thorn tinva /rnnrhlspfl from the StStC granting the right of construction and operation directly on the public highways, while others own part of them In the shape of purchased rights of way. The cars on these lines transport passengers from town to town or between the points on the road as comfortably, more cheaply and almost as quickly ai the steam cars between stations and far more quickly and agreeably than the trip, long or abort, can be made by horse and buggy or wagon.' It seems obvious, therefore, that the electric roads will tend to reduce the light passenger travel along the wagon roads which they parallel. But the traction companies are not by any means content with passenger business alone. They have already embarked In the express and light freighting traffic, despite the legal obstacles which are being thrown in their way by the steam railroad companies, whose contentions have been defeated In the supreme court of Ohio. This freighting or express business promises in the near future to become more profitable to the roads than the transporting of passengers and to grow more rapidly In olume. It cannot be doubted that this draws wagon traffic from the parallel highways. As yet few If any of the electric roads have attempted to embark In the heavy freighting business in this country, though It has been done In Europe. We may safely predict however, that In time the traction companies will at* tempt'to secure much of this business also, unless legal restrictions debar them, for they can operate as cheaply as the steam roads, and in many cases they have advantages over the latter In facilities for handling such freight However, If the interurban roads reduce the travel between towns ou the highways which they parallel, they will surety Increase the travel on the cross roads leading from the farms to the railways and wblcb act as feeders to tbe steel ways. Tbey will also undoubtedly increase1 tbe volume of travel on I tbe roads reaching from villages off the | lines of tbe electric and steam roads to 1 those through which these lines extend. Good road advocates have no reason for becoming apprehensive that tbe extension of the interurban electric railways will cause any of the wagon i roads to be abandoned and to fall Into i decay. While they seem likely to reduce traffic on some of the main thoroughfares connecting towns, their ef; feet w ill be to increase the number of short hauls In the aggregate on others. I It is at any rate a factor in highway Improvement. Tbe progress being made here and I abroad in the manufacture of practical j and economical steam and gasoline ; trucks and "lorries," as well as passeui ger coaches, for the transportation of freight and passengers on the public bighways offers tbe good roads enthual ?t Miirilrlent euarantee for a counter acting influence tending to give the interurban wagon way a new importance. It will probably then come to a strugj fie between the operator of the motor i stage and the electric traction com1 panics to decide which of them can I reduce the cost of operation to the loweat point. When Traveling Wm U Effort. The roads in I'olaud at the beginning of the nineteenth century were so bad fbat twelve horses were required to j draw a traveling carriage, and sometimes sixteen horses were needed to drag it at a foot pace through the mud. Good Roads Gronlas In Favor. The value and importance of good roads are appreciate!! more ana more ieach succeeding year, not only by people in the rural districts, but by inhabitants of towns and cities us welL [ BAD ROADS TO BLAME. Why the Farmer* la the Caat VM Skill Rumineaa L'nprofltkbl*. A bigblr important featuxo of tlM highways question is the effect good Off bad roada have upon the local marketf and tbcir sources of supply, says the New York Tribune. In all the cities and large towns of the state there is a da- w mand for farm products and for tba bulkier and heav ier prod acta, such m hay and straw and grain. % In many case* the aurroanding oountry la qnite capable of supplying that demand; in all cases il sboaid do to aa far as poaaible; in most casta it does not Instead, anppliea are brought in tqr nil or canal from far away, psrhsps from other states; while at the same time. within a few miles of the market thus anpplicd, are farms that have boss abandoned aa not worth working and others wboae owners are in obrooio dis* content and despair at the apparent impossibility of getting profitable prices for their crops. The big farms of the west, they say, monopolise the markets, uu wj iitbiiuk iiciv uu iuu^v jmjm. Now, one prime secret of the trouble lie? in the bad roads, which keep the producer and tbe consumer apart by1 making it difficulty if not impowfbtc, '*f| for the farm em to get their prodnoe It market Tbe farmer 1,000 milea awaj can get bis crops to market by rail or canal more easily and more cheaply than tbe farmer only ten miles away can haul his in oyer roads that are so hilly and rongb and miry that half a ton is a heavy load for a horse to draw at a slow footpace. It is not that farms in tbe east an no longer prod active, nor that tbe eastern market no longer offers fair pricea. It ia that tbe roads between tbe farm* and tbe markets are so bad as to make ship* ment unprofitable. Qood roads throughout the farming regions adjaoent to the ' m cities and towns wonld do men than anything else to restore prosperity to the farmers, enabling then to gel their gOOOl to UJB WlipOBIUW MUM!

Btny W?ttnw*i Un Is flat Ik*; Be Local. K?e lUttoML Henry Watteraon takes issue with a good roods advocate who inaiata that the general government aboald have , ir) charge of road making?that there should be national highways built and maintained at public expense. The good roads that are needed, aaya the Chicago Times-Herald, those that are moat needed, in the language of Colonel Watteraon, are those that "lead from the farm to the railroad, the mill, the factory, the school, the church, the ferry and the market." This apt remark of Colonel Watteraon 1 is a condensation, a simplification, an absolutely plain presentation of what ia I mnat vantwl in tha matter of food road*. Carry oat that idea, and what will be wanting? It will meet the requirements of the former; it will ?? the farming element hundreds of millions of dollars every year; it will meet the expectations of the pleasure seeker; it will add to the value of every foot of land in the country; it will be of Taloe to every merchant and every professional man; it will be a source of pleasure and profit to all classes, in all oommanities.
