in the trial that coal was sold to the

Minnesotan to Oo On Hawaiian Run
and North Pacific.
Seattle Representatives of the
Amercian-Hawaiien Steamship com
pany in Seattle have been advised that
th. steamship Minnesotan, th. first of
th. eight big freight and passenger
liners ordered from th. Maryland Steel
company, Sparrow I'olnt, Md., has
been completed and is ready for ser
vice. The Minnesotan was launched
June 8 and given her builders' trial
September 10. She is a vessel of 9450
tons dead weight caigo capacity, 415
feet 2 Inches in length between per
Dcndicular. 6S feet 6 Inches beam,
(leddooth. The Minnesotan has
a draft of 28 feet and can maintain a
speed of 12 knots an hour.
The ularlng of an order for eight
steamships by one company is unpre
cedented in the history of American
shipbuilding. The vessels are being
built In preparation for the additional
traffic which Is expected to follow the
opening of the Panama canal. They
are similar in design and construction
to the steamships Kentucklan and
Georgian, now in the Atlantic service
of the American-Hawaiian Steamship

The rout, on whlcn mese vesscia arc
to be pi seed is from New Vork to Ssn

Says States and Nation Should As
sume Responsibility for Hon
est Institutions.
Iieverly, Mass. Radical legislation
In favor of the American farmer and
consumer as a means of solving th.
question of the high cost of living was
urged by President Taft in a letter to
the governors of all the states.
President Taft proposes to reduce
th. cost of foodstuffs on the American
dinner table by reducing the cost to
the farmer of producing his crops.
This would be done by establishing in
the interest of th. farmer a financial
machine which would give him access
to all the money centers of the world
snd afford him credit at greatly re
duced rates and upon more advan
tageous terms than he now receives.
Ihe complete development of our ag
ricultursl resources which this would
make possible, thinks President Taft,
would K" a long way toward settling
the problem of the high cost of living.
"What this plan offers, " writes
President Taft, "is a means to secure
this country greater productivity, at
less cost, from the farms that are now
under cultivation, and, above all, to
give us more farms and more farm'
ers.
The plan suggested is based upon
the principles of agricultural co-operative
credit now in use in practically
every country in Europe. Uniform
state legislation, in the opinion of
President Taft, is essential to the
successful adoption of thil plan and he
has invited the governors of all the
states to a conference upon this sub'
ject at the time of the annual meeting
of governors in Washington in Decern
ber.

According to Information Just made
public by the director of the office of
public roads, Indiana leads all the
states of the Union lu mileage of lnl'
proved roads. Most of the tmproved
roads of Indiana and Ohio ar. com
posed of gravel and were, for th.
most part, built by farmers In working
out the taxes. The eltiht leading good
roads state, are: Indiana, Ohio, New
York. Wisconsin. Kentucky. Illinois.
California and Massachusetts.
The states which are leading In Pro
Kresslve road building are: New
York. Georgia, Washington, Missouri,
South Carolina. Alabama, Pennsyl
vania, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida
and Maryland.
That the nationwide movement
for the Improvement of the public
roads Involve, a large undertaking Is
indicated by Information Ju:;t made
public by the-U. 8. department of
apiculture. Secretary Wilson ahows
that 300.000 miles of roads must be
Improved before the public road sys
tem can be considered really efficient.
It Is only within recent years that
the movement for better roads has
tained force. The consequences of
delay are shown In the fact that there
sre now but 190.470 miles of improved
roads In this country. These Improved
roads constitute 8.66 Der cent, of the
total mlleaee of all public roads, lra
Proved and unimproved. It Is flgurea
that the percentage will bave to be In
creased to 20 before traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
the minimum of wear and tear on
horse, waxons and automobiles.
The French system of roads, long
considered the best In the world, was
bonded by Napoleon III. for $6,000,
000. and something In the neighbor
hood of $51 2,775,000 has already been
spent on that system. In this country,
owing to the great distances, lt Is
probable that close to $2,000,000,000
will bave to be spent before a proper
road system Is developed.
While the amount necessary to per
fect a great road system seems fabu
lously large. It does cot seem too large
when lt Is divided among th. various
rates and snread over a period of
five, ten or fifteen year.. When It
Is considered that New York state
haa bonded Itself for $50,000,000
and that $3.00,000 a year 1. now
being expended by that state, lt will
be seen that a nation-wide system
mleht soon be perfected were all
states to progress as rapidly.
South Carolina. Alabama and Flor
ida have also made great gains by
bulldlne sand-clay roads, and this Is
very cheap and satisfactory type of
road building.

Kent, Conn. "Fifty dollars cash bo

Such is the sign which Ezra Blake,

on. of his houses In the negro quarter

Among negroea the house Is re

living In lt for five years, had a ghost
ly visitor one night, and siuce then
Mrs. Jackson declares that a ghost
chased her up the back stairs, and
Mr. Jackson corroborates ber.
Jackson was first to hear queer
noises, and he aroused his wife.

Jostnhine listened, and ther. cam.
to her ear a sound of low moaning,
punctuated by sibilant whisperings.
Josephine trembled, but Jackson leap

Jackson didn't wait to see what lt

to the porch roof and "slid'' down a

ine saw of him he was sprinting up
the road leading to their nearest ne

Jackson would have given $5,000 If he
