Louis Itepubllc. The olltce of the pnlillc roada In the ngrleiiltural department recently com pleted the collection, compilation and publication o f Information from every county o f the Unlte«l State» In regard to the mileage of Improved and uulra- proved country road» In the year 1901, uud the expenditure» on road» and bridge» from property and poll tax«-», bond lanueH and »tute fund» under the »ta lc aid law», and the amount o f val ue of the lulxir exjiended tinder the Matute latMir law». In 1904 there were 2.101,570 m ile» of public road» In the United Htnte». O f thl» mileage 108.232.9 m ile» were »ur- faced and gravel, 38,1721.7 mile» were »tone, and 0.809.7 mile» were »pec-la! material». huc I i n» »hell», »und-clay, oil and brick, making In nil 153.001.3 mile» of Improved road. From thl» It follows that 7.11 per cent o f all the roads In the United state» have been Improved. By comparing the total road mileage with the urea of all the state» and ter ritories It appears that there was .73 o f a mile o f road per square mile of territory. A comparison o f road mile a g e with population »b o w » that there v a » one mile o f road to every.tblrty th e Inhabitant» and one mile of Im proved road to every 4172 Inhabitant». The 2.151,570 mile» o f public road» In the United State» do not Include road» In Indian Territory. Aln»kn and the I*- Innd possessions. The mileage o f road» d<»*s not Include »freets or boulevards In Incorporated cities mid village». The majority of all the roads In th* United States were originally Inld out along the lioumlnry lines o f farms, wltb little regard for drainage, topog raphy and alignment. In the eastern states tbe boundary Hues of farina are very irregulnr, and consequently many o f the roads are crooked nml badly lo- ented wltb reference to grades. In tbe middle west, where tbe land was laid out by tbe government, tbe roads follow (be section lines and in thickly settled communities the quarter sec tion lines. In compiling these figures tbe aim Inis lieen to Include only the mileage of roads actually open and In use. Only four states have more than inn.txX) miles of roads. Texas stands tlrst, wltb 121,40ft miles; Missouri sec ond. with 10S.133; Iowa third, with 102,448. and Kansas fourth, wltb 101,- 11H5. The District o f Columbia has only 191 miles of road. Ilhode Island has 2,301 miles, which Is Uie smallest mile age of any state. Delaware has only 3,000 nml Arizona only 5.9S7 miles. P.y comparing the road mileage with the areas In square miles the District o f Columbia Is found to stand llrst, with 3.1S miles of road per square inlle of area, while Connecticut Is highest among the states, with 2.90 miles. Rhode Island bus 2.24 miles and Penn sylvania 2.21 miles per square mile of area. Arizona has only five-hundredths of a mile, the smallest mileage per square mile. Utah has eight-hundredths and W yom ing ten-hundredths o f a m il« per square mite. Assuming the average width o f the rights o f way o f country roads In the United States to lie forty feet, the urea o f such rights o f way In 1904 «mount ed to 10.431.727 acres. Estimating the value o f this land on u basis o f the valuation o f farm lands in each state, the approximate value o f the rights of way o f all the public roads would lie $341.800.300. A much higher valuation would lie amply just tiled by the fact that In sections where the mileage of roads Is greatest the land is consider ably above the average In value. O f the 153,082 miles of Improved roads In the United States Indiana has the largest mileage 23.N77 miles. Ohio has 23,500, Wisconsin 103133. Kentucky 9,480, while twenty-nine states In all have over 1.000 miles o f Improved roads. In about two-thirds of the states gravel Is the most used agency In Im provement. while lu eight states the miienge of macadam exceeds that o f grnvcl roads. / O f those states employing special kinds of Improvements to roads Cali fornia has 2.541 miles surfaced with oil. South Carolina has 1.030 miles of sand clay mixture road. Maryland ban 250 miles o f shell road uud Ohio has brick country roads 1,400 miles long.

O f this amount $53.815,387.98 was expeudod ¡rom property and poll taxes, payable In cash; $19.818,230.30 was the value o f the labor taxes, $3,530,470.93 came from bond issues and $2.007.822.00 was from state old funds. The aggregate shows that $37.07 was expended In 1904 for each mile of public road, or $1.05 fer each inhabitant lu tbe country. DUSTY N«w ROAD PREVEN TIVE. Method Adopted In Saxony M acadam ized Highway». on Consul T. H. Norton, writing from Chemnitz, says that n Saxon firm has Introduced a new road binding com position which ha» been tried on the macadnmlzed streets of Leipslc and other places with much success. The material 1» thus described: It is a mixture o f tbe heavier residual oils obtained in the distillation o f coal tar with high liolliug hydrocarbons. The method o f mixing apparently In volves a certain degree of chemical combination. In which phenol and similar constituents play a role. The manufactured material Is prepared for use by heating In Iron caldrons Identi cal with those used for asphalt to temperatures ranging from 212 to 248 degrees F. (100 to 120 degrees C.). It Is then sprayed evenly over the sur face o f a roadway with a special form o f apparatus and uuder sucli high pres sure that the fluid mass penetrates to a certain distance into the upper layer o f dust or dirt. The result is the formation of a com pact lustrous black coating which meets the demands o f heavy traffic and Is not disintegrated Into dust particles. A marked advantage o f the new proc ess over the metuods hitherto employ ed for the same purpose and based up on the use o f ordinary tar Is the total absence of odor after the application. ROAD PHILOSOPHY. Observation» by H oratio E a rle , Mich igan's H ighw ay Com m issioner. State Highway Commissioner Hora tio Earle o f Michigan has issued the following good roads philosophy, sayr the Motor News: "W h y don’t fanners keep farrow cows? Because farrow cows eat as much ns new milk cows and give only about one-half as much milk. "W h a t are new milk cows? Devel oped farrow’ cows. ^ " I f farrow cows can be developed Into new milk cows, why not go ahead with the development and de velop new tnilk cows with tulders twice ns large as common new ,rallk cows have? Because nothing would be gained If It were possible to do It. because the udder Is not the producer o f the milk, but sImply the receptacle In which the milk Is deposited, which Is produced by the developed cow. "In order to get more milk the whole cow must be developed. " A county with poor roads in the country and poor streets lu the villages and cities reminds me o f a farrow cow. “ A county with good roads in the country and good streets in the vil lages reminds me o f a fully developed new milk cow. " I f It Is Impossible to get the whole country under the county road law, then adopt the good roads district sys tem. which Is the couuty road law on n small scale, permitting certain town ships. villages and cities to operate under the county rhnd system without taking In the whole coupty. C.Arc.Mi - MAM»' FRIEND TO FRIEND. . T h e personal recommendations of people w ho have been cured of coughs and colds by C h am berlain’s Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and com merce over a large part of the civilized world. A N IN S T A N C E . Lucy Suddreth, o f Lenoir, N. C., had been troubled with a v?ry bad cough for over a year. She says : “ A friend bought a bottle of C h a m b e r l a in ' s C ough R em ed y , brought it to me and insisted that I should take it. I did so and to iny surprise it helped me. Four bottles of it cured me of my cough.” FOR SALE BY BREWER DRUG CO. "T h e villages and cities then help to build the lending roads into the mar ket centers, and these roads develop the country districts, which In turn lodge more milk and more regularity In the village and city udders. "Y e t there are men that cannot see that this is a benefit to either. I know a supervisor that did all he could to de feat the good roads district system which was combining tw o cities and four townships Into a good roads dis trict, and his township would pay lu 82 cents when one of the cities would pay in $11.50. and under the system his township would get back its 82 cents and one-fourth of the $11.50 to build roads In his township, yet he couldn't see that it would be a benefit to his township. Such a man wouldn't buy gold dollars If he were offered ’em for 25 cents apiece on account o f the ex pense.” i < N EIS S e om o ÎV E B 5 f e U S T R P T O R <§> ^ W fT lH O P L A T E ifc v R k Y printing ÍP ^ R ÍL L U e)T R A riÜ N S ) ^ n & fe o o K if.r I^ IL L U ^ r R A T lG W ; Í^ O U V t N It R P ü & T i » M flÿiL C X yâ .L A B E L M ti U fe* E C O fS L »* T «t E r **•' T O « e C O M
