SAM HILL
ON ROADS.
Sam Hill, son-in-law of Jim Hill,
graduate of Harvard, president of the
Washington Good Roads Association and
vice president of the National Associa
tion, a former railroad president, thirty
three times acroBS the Atlantic, a big
Home Tel. stockholder, spoke at the
Commercial Club rooms last night to a
crowded and pleased house. Something
was learned decidedly aDout tne most
important subject up.
Hill showed how the farmer is the
ba-kbone of the country and is entitled
to the best roads that can be built. In
Europe the cost is 10 cents a ton per
mile for road hauling, in the U. S. an
average of about $1, hence the need of
action. The money spent on the Pana
ma canal should be spent on good roads.
He complimented the Western country,
which he likes better than the east,
where his home is, in Washington, that
is sometimes. His good roads demon
stration was a striking one and made a
strong impression. -
Hill is a Granger and believes in the
supremacy of the farmer, the fountain
neao oi trade. With only au per cent
rural population it is time tor emphatic
legislation in the interest of the farm
er, particularly along the good roads
line, going with the rural telephone and
rural delivery, doing much to better
conditions.
Mr. Hill was accompanied by Harvey
Lindley and W. D. DeVarney of the
Home Telephone Co.

was boiled over all over town and there
was great excitement over it and lots:,
of talk but next morning after the

pure by oyer 260 majority. Since then
the school children are drinking it, it
