GOOD OADS IN NEW JERSEY.

finlentlld Results Obtained hr the Jia prwetaent of Highways. For several years previous to tho yenr of 1888 tho peoplo of Union couuty, Is, J bail boon agitating tho question of better roads, mid finally a mooting wis called, and aa a result a committeo was appointed consisting of ono from each township ana city to consider tho mattcr, and thoy framed a bill and presenter it to tho legislature, which was passed after a hard fight by just one majority in the winter of 1888. This bill provided that any county in the state wishing to build stono roads might do so by a two-thirds vote of the board of supervisors. Among the pro visions of tho bill aro the following: Amount of bonds that can be issued, 325,000 in any one county. The board has authority to employ an export ea gineer to prepare plans and specifications and supervise tho work. One-third of the expense must bo borno by tho town ship through which tho road passes and two-thirds by tho county at large. Union county was the first to tako ad' vantago of tho law. Thoy first determined on tho roads to macadamize, and then the engineer prepared tho plans and specifications, and bids wero solicited for building the same, and the contracts let to tho lowest responsible bidders, each contract embracing that portion of the road running through ono township. In all thero were 40 miles built, being 16 feet in width and 12 inches deep, and being what is called tho teliord-macadam system, at an average cost of about $8,000 per mile. In constructing the road we first grad ed it carefully and formed gutters on each sido with a fall sufficient to carry the water to the nearest water course with sufficient crown given to tho road so that the water would easily run to the gutters. After the road is thus graded to the width of the macadam 10 feet in the center is taken out to a depth of 13 inches. The Bubfoundation is then carefully rolled, so that the bed will be com pact and to the true grade. After this is done the telford stone foundation to the depth of eight inches is carefully laid by hand. This stone is wedge shaped, the interstices being filled with the chips of the tone, which are pounded in so that the tones are held firmly in position. The next thing to be done is to thoroughly roll the telford; then a layer of broken stone to the depth of inches if laid, which Is rolled and watered, and upon that screenings of stone are put and thoroughly watered and rolled i thou a course of smaller stone to the depth ot two iaches is put on, and then what is called the finishing course is pat on and watered and rolled. Sometimes this process of watering and rolling is continued in a small section for a week or ten days until the road to perfectly smooth. After abovt 15 miles of the road had heea bellt the taxpayers, especially the farmers, were all clamorous for a road la their Immediate aeiffhborhood, aad the legislature without one dissenting tote passed a Mil allowing the counties to issue bonds, and today there is sot a taxpayer in Unk county that would go oack to the old system of roads. After two years of the severest use not ant can be found, although the heaviest kinds of loads hare constantly passed orertheca. The valuation of property in the county has greatly increased, and numerous manufacturing industries have located in the county. Bicycle people are especially pleased with the condition of the roads. The whole management of the road system is under the control of the board of supervisors, just the same as other county matters. There Is a committee of the board that has immediate control just as you have a committee of your board that looks after justice claims or county buildings, etc F. A. Dunham ia Saginaw Courier-Herald, AKwrlBoa4 Fred J. Smith, vtm hu Kuan for Decatur township. Ills., submits1 a DrODositioa on the eountv mad Innmv. tnent question which la likely to attract some attention. He says: "My plan is to inclose the roads with water and snow proof sheds 90 feet wide and If feet high, the framework to be of steel, the sides Inclosed with perforated sheet iron to let In light, the roofing to be ef slate or tile. The sheds will last more than 100 years and will be perfectly proof against fire. The benefits to be derived cannot be estimated. When the farmer is compelled to stop the plow by reason of Wet weather, he can drive to town on smooth, dry roads aad deliver his commodities to market. He can at any time of the year haul his straw, hay, corn or wheat to market without fear of damage by snow or rain. Electric lights eaa be safely used at half mile intervals. The only practical selutioa, I think, to the road problem is to adopt the steel sad sheet iron sheds. They will come high, but they will be permanent and popular. Of coarse good drainage will be necessary." ßt. Louis Globe-Democrat Waat Om4 ftoaSs Will Da Far the FHeaea. Good roads are not like great mass they are not born; they must be made. The fact that we have none to easily explained when it is remembered that eur country people do not know what a good toad really is. We believe the absolute necessity for general road improvement exists; that it will prove a great saving to the farmer; will render rural Hfe more desirable; will cheapen production and greatly conserve the interests of producers and ooaftumers alike. Turf , Field sad Farm., ZMviatoti ot Cect. The land along the proposed road ought to pay most, as It gets most benefit That farther off gets lern benefit and c-ught to pay less. The whole Vedy of the country and the towns in the country get soma and aught to pay some, and ths whole state gets, a share of good and oj-th so pay something. If the land along the road should pay half the coat, Use whole county one-fourth and the state one-fourth, the dhrlaion would ap-

Sorriy diHtinguislicd Indinn trader und mom. bor of tho famous Auiorican Pur com! puny. An old sottlor tells tho foil lowing story about this eccentric pionoor: "Colonol Sarpy proforred tlio freodom of prairies to tho Bodety of civilized Ufo and upont a great deal of his time in visiting Omaha wigwams near tho old trading posta. Ho was regarded by tho Omahas as thoir nokagahho, or big chief. fact, ho married an Omaha woman, Nakoma, to whoso intercessions was moro than onco indobtod for the preservation of hia lifo when at tacked by Indians. Ono night a crowd of frontiersmen wore gathered in tho stored Colonel Sarpy, and tho conversation turned upon tho treatment of tho Indians. Sarpy portrayed in glowing colors tho noblo traits of tho red men and tho injustice heaped upon them by tho whites. A tall, gaunt looking specimen over in tho corner, who was busily engaged in whittling, listened with consider able interest. Ho suddenly looked up and interrupted tho speaker. "This yero talk about tho Indians as good and bravo and intelligent may suit you traders who havo been swapping gewgaws for their valuable buffalo robes and stealing their annuities, but I havo lived among them, too, I want you to underbtind, and I'll bo hanged if thoy aro not a lying, thieving raco of dogs, who don't know tho differenco between right and wrong. Tho sooner they .aro killed off tho better it will bo for tho country." This was too much for Sarpy. He advanced to the front of tho speaker and interrupted him in an excited manner. "Do you know who I am, sir?" ho asked, with considerable emphasis! "I am Peter A. Sarpy, rirl If you want to fight, sir, I am your man, sir! I can whip thodovil, girl

Unooso you weapons, sir! Bowie knife, shotgun or rovolver, sir' I'm your man, sir I" Hero tho speaker, by way of emphasis to his remarks, snapped hia pistol at tho lighted candlo on the tabio, about three paces away, and all wero left in total darkness. The stranger availed himself of this opportunity to mako his exit bytha sido door, being unwilling to eerve i. i. : i man, wno would probably havo extinguished him in a similar mannet.
