COUNTRY HIGHWAYS GREAT REVIVAL OF ROAD IMPROVEMENT IN AMERICA. , Tlic Spirit of I'roKrcMN mul Development Wliieli Unlit the Itnilrontln Notv Tnrui to Common Ilonde-Solr- I lujj. TrniiKiiortntioii i'rolilcui, Tlio spirit of road building and improvement lias not been Inactive iu this country during the past century; but, owing to physical ditllcultics and insurmountable barriers, it lias taken a different course from that of other nations, llond building we have had I now for nearly 100 years, ami In nil this time a spirit of enterprise aud no tlvit.v lias marked the work and brought renown and credit upon the builders. The nature o'f the country demanded that a different system of road building from that prevailing in 1*. light 1k1 juki r ranee snouui ue nuujnod, juhI tho not results of tlie closing century's labors arc greater by half thau those obtained In any other country on tin? globe. Not oven ninkiug allowances for ilijferoiiop I?) age, tho United States stands today ps the loading road building country of the world. What the European countries have accomplished iu 500 years we have brought to p:iss In less than 100. We have the longest and best roods In the world. It Is no discredit to us as a nation when It is said In jcplj* that hoy are only in the form of railroads , ami not ordinary country roads. Foi what other purpose arc roads built ih.'iM tiiftf .y -v'sy cmnmunicatlou and transportation?1' ^Irt ft "country vd llie lengiii breadth of the United States steam roads wore the only feasible ones that an intelligent people could build until the land was bound together by rapid means of communication. Egrly In the present century the question of building roads of the ordinary kind was agitated, aud the parI e V\'!? !rtl? 1 w ?1 S g\1 i n n I'lltitHiil /irxiiet M UIVU MVHV.IVU >U tl V.UHO! 4 %.vtion of the constitution favored a stupendous plan of getting the government to construct great national highways. That spirit of road improvement, started early in the present century, has waxed stronger and stronger up to the present time. The need of opening the country by means of long roads was appreciated by every one. Early in 1SUG the great national highway was begun. It was interrupted and then abandoned for good cause. Hut after an interval of more than 1)0 .wars similar enterprises have been undertaken in different parts of the country. The old system of road building was simply suspended because all the private energy and capital were | needed to build railroads. The railroads when introduced were ! found to be great improvements over 1 the old highways so far as opening up ; the country was concerned, and private J capital was invested by the millions, i The net results of this work are visible 1 today in tlie 1S0.000 miles of railroads ' and about 50,000 (piles of sidings and double tracks. This is the reason *vby American common roads have not advanced as rapidly during the present ] century as other physical improve- t menks of the country. j The opening of the country by vast c liw.iti IIUlll'\l'r, 11*1 IS Jtl'UUl I * rendu.',! a climax, ami ten years ago | J the work of constructing new lines 11 !> actieally ceased, except In a few uu- s setilnj parts of the country. It tit with toe decline in railroad building the old spirit of Internal road improvement is revived, and tlie work, discontinued hi years ago, may now q ho .-aid to lu? going on again with reicwed vigor. In every part of the & country new and improved common v reads rre being constructed, railroad P lines are lieiug connected with the sur- t| rounding farms and villages by tine -j macadamized roads, and bicycle paths d and pleasure boulevards are springing up us l?y magic. The brains, capital and energy of the country that early in the present century constructed the 0 immense lines of railroads are uow be- v, ing turned into road investments of a li diifereut nature. The transportation t< problem will not be solved until every ** habitable part of the country is in direct eommunieation with every other * part, and this can be accomplished only by building common roads that j are passable at all seasons of the year. . The bicycle has been credited with causing a great deal of the modern 11 |1 road improvement spirit, but another potent cause is that railroad building u laid about reached its limit when the macadam highways became popular and the new arin of tho trnnsnni-lntlnn question was lien inning, The coining y? ?if the bicycle changed and hastened 0' upon the trend of public opinion and focused attention upon the public fo roads. a The fat tite of our rotuls Is assured. It will not bo a great many years before the United States will have some of the linesl and longest macadamized rs roads in the world. T|ie national gov- t< ernment and the legislatures of near- g ly every state, pushed on by the ever fi increasing army of road enthusiasts, ii are making provisions for extending and improving the road systems of the country. It is estimated that we have already something over 1,300,000 miles tl of common roads In the country, a to-, ci till mileage greater than that of any other single country, but the majority tl of these roads are in poor condition b an I have sprung into existence with* I out method or system. Ten years ago the extremely bad condition of tite roads attracted public v attention, and since then improvements v upon them have been going on steadily, o State commissions of expert road build- tl ors and scientific engineers have been appointed to examine Into their eondl-1 tion, and their suggestions have brought about a change that promises ti to tran- forin the face of the country.? tl New York Independent. v Sores <1 That old sore or ulcer, which has I live or ten years ? maybe longer ? doesn nient, but at* trying to cure it with salve pain to some extent, 110 real, permanent is in the blood and A sore heals ] tendency of these f?>- _ They are a const? jK-t: > A person's capacit (Sr?^ ^ ' Cyy S.
