IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.
A Reform T‘h-at Should/Be Agitated
in Every“ County in Every‘ '
State of the Union.
Here is 'a subject for the farme1s to,
agitate in their clubs and institutes
during the winter. There is no class
that has so deep an interest in good
roads as the farmers. says Farmers’
Tribune. Over the common roads he
has to haul his produce to the nearest
marlcet, and he and his family have to.
attend church and do their tradinn‘ and
seek their amusements in the towns
and cities. This is very pleasant when .
the roads are dry and smooth. But
when wet weather sets in and the com:
mon roads become beds of mire. or
when they freeze up and become like

query is, how can we secure better
roads? First, we must secu're perfect
drainage. This is obtained by the use
of the improved road grader that rounds
up the center of the road and fills all
holes and secures a smooth surf-ace.
This grader should not be left on the
roadside to rust till the convenience of
the roadmaster can find leisure to use
it. Immediately after a rain, as soon
as the mud will c:,rumbLe the road
grader should be out and kept at work
-till the roads are in good order. Now
this constant 11oi'k on the roads can
be very much relieved by covering the
surface of the road with broke-11 stone
(macadam) or gravel. Gravel is the
best for the following reasons: It is
more. abundant and combines with the
roadbed and‘ for this reason is better
for filling holes. Gravel deposits are
'more general than supposed, and the
farmers can use their teams during the
idle spells in handling it on the roads.
No.1, this is a radical change in our,
present road. s1srtem. The changing oil

points to improve. In short we want a
riad cal change in our road laws. This
the farmers can secure if united. The.
railroads in the state have been liber-
ally'supported‘ by the farmers and
should give liberal aid to improve our '
common 1cads. \011‘, there is no better
test. of the progressi1e character of a
community than the state of the public
roads. Her e is a point in which all can
unite irrespective of political ties. Agi-

state and thus secure good roads.
OREGON’ S TIRE BILL.
Long Step Toward the Securing 0!
Good Roads, and Their Per-
manent Preservation.
Though the wide—tire 11101 ement
moves slowly, it is very gratifying to
know that it does move, at least, in
spots. One (if-these favored spots is
the enterprising state of Oregon,
which has passed the following bill:
“Bates’ bill, to encourage the use
of wide tires on wagons, which has
passed with only one negative vote,
reads as follows:
“That from and after the first day
of January, A. D. 19010., the county court
or county board of each county within
this state is hereby authorized to make
a. rebate each year for four years, on
the road tax- of each person within its
county who sl. all own and have in hob,
itual use on the highways of this state.
wagons or other vehicles for the trans
portation of freight and other heavv
articles the fires of which are not less
than three inches in width, of2$1 for-
' each wheel of such vehicle: and. pro--
vided, further. that the owner of ear-":1
vehicle having tires of not less than
. four inches in width, upon which there
is a. difference of” at least eight inches
in the length of the front and rear axle.
so constructed that the front and rear
wheels will not come in contact with
the same road surface while the vehicle
is moving in a straight line. shall re-
ceive. in addition to the aforesaid re-
bate. a. further rebate for four years in
his or her road tax as aforesaid, of $3
for each vehicle of this class for each
and every year during said period that
said vehicle is habitually used upon the
highways of this state.”
This bill. promises to induce farmers
to do. in avolnntary wa1. \vbata com.
pulsory bill would force them to do
unwillingly. It is a “ell— understood
fact that if a few wagons in each local- -
ity are fitted with wide tires. they win
serve as a most potent object lesson.
Oregon has taken along step toward
the securing of good roads and in

an EMPEROR’S LUCK-RING.“
A Family Talisman That Is Aivvayr
Worn by Germany’s
Rulers.
The house of Hohenzollern possesses
a family talisman. Since the time of
the Elector John Cicero. who flour-
ished toward the end of the fifteenth
century; each ruler has, when possible,
before dissolution. handed to his suc-
cessor a sealed packet, saysthe Lady's
Pictorial.
a black stone said to haw e been d1 opped
by. a huge toad on the c01e1let of a.
princess of the family just as she had
give.11 birth to a son.
I‘rede‘ 10k the» Great found the ring
in an envelope, which also enclosed a
memorandum,- written by Frederick L,
stating its value and mode of trans»
mission. Schneider, the librarian of
William 1., declares that he saw the
packet. handed by Gelling, the treas-
urer, to his roy'al mast-er on his ac-
cession, and further asserts that he
read his. account of the talisman to the
emperor, who fully confirmed it.
The present emperor never fails to
11ear,on all occasions, this queer old
ring, and has (like every Hohenzollern}
the deepest rélspet't for the quaint. lit-
tle jewel.
Frederick the Great’s father had the-
black stone mounted as a. ring, and be-
queathed it to his son, who believed
firmly in its value as a, talis'man, and
many of the documents of that. time,
deposited in the archives at Berlin,
make allusion to it. "
HEARD IN THE STREET CARS.
Yearning Proposal of Marriage and
a Peppery Duincstic Tiff Reach

_ “I suggest to the city council” said
the man who stays out late, according
to the ChicagO'Inte-r Ocean, “the pro-
, priety of having a censor in street cars
that run after one a. 111. In- my home-
ward travels between one and 2:30 a.
m. I have seen and heard some things
which, to my mind, do not belong in
cars of any description. One night I
heard, without effort to do so, a young
may propose. marriage to the young
woman whose escort he was. His pro—
posal was properly put together, so
far as that. was concerned, but why
should he have chosen a. car; at that
hour? I could not hear her answer.
I hope she refused him. The very next
night a married couple sat in front of
me. If you may judge people by their
clothes, they were highly respectable.
I was forced to the. conclusion, from
what I overheard, “that they had been
at a social function; that the husband
had imbibed, contrary to a. promise,-
and. that he had been. guilty of flirta-
tion. If he keeps his word, his wife
will not go out with him again. That’s
none of my business. I would have
shifted my seat if I could have found 1
another. All the time those people.
were at it I should have been enjoying
my morning nap if there had been a.
censor to make them behaVe.”
