Commerce and Transportation May Hot* Place la Cabinet. Good road enthusiasts arc confident ! that the bill providing for the creation , of a new government department will j be passed at the coming session uf con-' grexs. The measure. as proposed and ! as it will be backed by the good roads , people, provide* for the establishment | of a department of commerce and | transportation or commerce aud public j works. It in intended to establish un-1 der its direction a bureau of good | -* 14 - * ull. I roads. At present me uureuu 01 puuinroad inquiries I* under the department of agriculture. It is also the hitentlou to place bureaus now under the direction of the interior and treasury departments under the proposal department of commerce. President Moore | of the National (Jood Roads association recently said: "I have talked with a great many members of congress this summer, with the result that I am confident the new department will be created at the next session. Every senator and representative I have seen favors It. "Heretofore the politicians have not; underitood the situation, but now they are getting their eyes opened. The j people are nlso beginning to see something must be done toward building . permanent good roods. Our mission is j to educate, and In establishing this do-1 partment and making a lilieral appro-1 priation for it the government will also i be educating. No one expects the gov- 1 ernment to build the roads. Such a proposition would 1k? foolish. The gov ernmrni can, nowrver, uuuu roads and thereby let the people know I what the advantages are. The states i must build the roads. . "The railroads are Interests] In a movement for pood roads Ix-onuse they I realize good roads are essential to their . Interests. At present shipments prac-1 tlcally stop In a large part of the coun-1 try for Ave months every year because the farmers cannot get to the railroad stations. The result Is the railroad companies must try to have cars enough to carry the business when the farmers can get to the stations. This compels i them to keep large numbers of cars Idle much of the time, and as they /fnn't vnnt tn mnlntnfn nnv more roll In# Ftock than Is absolutely necessary they are usually short of cars when the rush comes. With Rood roads all over the country the traffic wonld be distributed through twelve months of the year. This Is the reason the railroads want good roads." j STATE AID IN NEW YORK. What It Is Accomplishing For Road Improvement. In a recent bulletin reviewing the work of road Improvement In New York state State Engine* Bond says: The legislature approprited $420,000 for road Improvement tils year, and In the three years in wBtch road Improvement work has been In progress I 20 roads, having a total mileage of 45 miles, have been improved at a cost of r $307,GOO; that 30 roads, having a mile age of 122 miles, are now undergoing * nn* improvement, ui a wuov vi vi iw,iw, 1 that funds have been awarded for the ' Improvement of 3 roads having a mileage of 7 miles at a cost of $5C,600. and that plans havo been approved by boards of supervisors of 12 counties for the Improvement of 47 roads, having a mileage of 134 miles, which would impose an expense upon the state and the counties. If adopted, of $1,091,443. When all the roads already Improv1 ed. those under Improvement and those whose Improvement Is suggested [ have been Improved, 10C will have been constructed In 23 counties, covering 310 miles, at a cost of $2,289.874.35.of which the state will have paid one-half and the counties one-half. ROAD PROGRESS IN OHIO. ) Improvement Doei X< t Keep Pace With the Demand of the Times. Ohio has by no means kopt pace In 1 the matter of roadbullding throughout the country districts either with tha t progress made In steam railways or in * the Improvement of city streets, where , within the past twenty-five years the I old macadam and bowlder thorough* fares have given way almost entirely to the more perfect and lasting granite, brick and asphalt, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. i It is true there is in this state a law which enables the townships throughout Ohio to Improve their road system, known as the free turnpike law, and It has done wonders for the common roads of the state during the twentyfive years or more that it has been in force. Perhaps a few other states hav similar laws, but they are not general. The ordinary country roads throughout ' the country generally are, as they have ; always been, things to avoid in the sea, son of freezing and thawing, during r which they are usually impassable. t Bond ProBrrai In Trnnriiec. Judgiug from the enthusiasm which attended the recent annual meeting of *! ?? T.^mncciui flnnil flSSJOolfltiOIl. UiV A vuuv much work In the Improvement of highways will be accomplished In that state next year. The convention was l<" not content with academic discussions ? of the advantages of good roads, the [ best material for roadways and the like, but took practical steps toward a * realization of the ideals. To secure united action throughout the state and i; to build up an organization which ' would be strong enough to demand leg, lslation each eounty eourt was urged i. to send three delegates to each annual , meeting of the State lloads association, i. It was decided also to ask the legislature for the appointment of a state cna Cneer to crnsult with county superii lntemh'Uts lu the matter of roads and bridges and for legislation which would J. permit the employment of Jail Inmates c In roadmaklng. u ( Iran l^riiN Nerd Corn?Yon mil find u?n <iold.-i l>ent, While IVni, Suowrtukw ami Sinuollt Kv<>ntre?D ?.

The in,portar.ee of good road* and their value to eaeh district baring thein have lonj* been advocated, but f/uira tin* the uulillc * wakened to their foil significance. After all, it was not by argument that the public wan convinced, but from necessity in the beginning and then by example. The state of New Jersey is wedged in between New York and lVnimylvanln. with one of the zreat cities of the country on Its eastern Iwnlers aud the second largest city on Its w<-stern borders. Its fannei s are mainly engaged in raisiuK track for the millions of people living In those two cities. To do this thousand* of tliero drive to ench city daily with a lond of truck. starting In tbe morning anywhere from 12 to 4 o'clock to get to the market* early enough for the hucksters. "Jersey mud.'* a clay loam, 1* proverbial for it* stickiness and disagreeable nature to travel through when wot. wiys the Putnam (Conn.) Patriot . The Jersey farmer know* tbe value of - * " ? I- ? ho a uunar uuu i? u^#yuoi-u iu iuaco, vu? u? could reckon the difference between what lie lost dally by reason of bad roads and the tax lie would have to pay for building a smooth rock road. That having been worked out, one good road wag built, aud those near It got to market regularly und easily, rain or shine, Having enough each trip to pay the road tax. "Seeing is believing," and farmers in other iwrts became convinced of their economy, and the exam* pie wax followed, slowly at Urst, but gradually going on more rapidly. Last year 100 miles of new roads were built In that *late at a cost of about $."j0O,0U0. This year the demand for theiu is bo great that the state will, the coming year, venture to put $1,000,000 into 200 miles of macadam. The state commissioner of public roads de> clares that this movement has Increased the taxable property of the , state by *27,000,000. Just think of - BAY STATE ROADS. Som? Facta About tk? Ulghwaja of Nai?achoiwtU. I / It costs on an average $9,000 per mile to buJld a state road in Maaaacbusetts, says tbe Boston Globe, bat , tbe actual coat depends on locality and | conditions, hardly two cases being : alike. One-fourth of tbe coat of a state roud is borne by tbe county in \ which it is situated, tbe balance being i contributed by tbe state. ' The work of the highway commission ? has developed a number of high claaa professional roadbuiiders. Many of tbe younger and more ambitious have entered the employ of tbe national governiBont in Cuba, Porto Rico and tbe Philippines in the same line of work. Most of the state roads are of broken stone, but a few are of gravel. Tbe type of road built is determined by tbe engiueer, who makes careful examlna inn nf K/iIla rirnlnatre. craveL atone. , 1 grades nud traffic. The thickness of stone on state roads varies from four to sixteen inches, the lesser being placed over good gravel or sand, the greater over heavy clay. The broken stone used on state roads passes through half Inch, lncb and a half and two and a half inch screens. The largest size Is placed on the bottom, the. i second size on top of this and the ; crown is made with half inch material. ' All are rolled separately and thoroughly. The cost of trap rock for roadbulld, ing varies from $1.10 per ton to $1.00 ; per ton. The state owns seventeen steam rollers, which are employed In , state roadbuilding. The standard width of stone roadways in Massachusetts built by the commission is fifteen | feet There are some only ten and i twelve feet wide, but they are not deemed economical to maintain. !

Amtor has ?i>cnt large sums on the road* ' near I'outtbkeepsle, X. Y. '| Recently Ilarley T. I'root or. a mm'' mer resident of Wlliiamstovvn, Mass., ' offered to give the town $10,000 for ' the Improvement of the roads, providing the latter raises 500,000 for the '; same purpose. Mr. I'roetor makes the gift because he tttlicres that better roads would iycrease the popularity of Williatustowu as a summer resort, lie wont lv bad the stone hill road put ill excellent coiiditioii at a cost of (500. I The town furnished the drainage pipes ; ami permit lull Mr. I'roctor to use the road j??.rai>er. 4 Thr Secret of a Good Road. A Laril surface, well rounded so that tbe water will ruu off quickly, is the 8?i-rct of a (.'ood road. Attention after a road is once permanently built is ira; penitive ho that the washed out places ! and depression* where water stands may be repaired. A little timely work will keep a road in jjood shape. I Civilisation unit Good liotd*. There is perhaps no better t?*st of the life of a civilization than that to be found in the extent and character of Its public highways. The decree of perfection of country roads correspond? 1 j cloM'ly to the dejree of civilisation where tlie roads arc situated. . ? i Doe* it Pay to Buy Cheap ? i, I A client) rciiirtty for coughx uad cold* la *11 i ' rtulil, but you wwnt wuiiei'iln* that will re j Imid enr?* ttir> more ??vrr? and Unngoroua rifult* uMhrotii and loiii trouble*.
