COLONEL POPE ON GOOD HIGHWAYS IN AMERICA. AdvorntoH Shite and Fedcrnl Al«l In Uofld IluililiitK— sF»c« a ial IIOHIIN FOI ItaUiim Fttnd»—What tlie Fui'uieri lLave Ileen Tuuslit. I'ersonally 1 believe in an extensive development of both state and federal roads, writes Colonel Albert A. Pope in Ji.irper's Weekly. For many years wc have expended liberal sums of money lor the betterment of rivers and har bors, and the results accomplished an <•011 nieudablo, but we must not lose .-.igiit of tlie fact that a great majority of the people live away from the coast and waterways, in regions where the nect ssily for good highways is im perative. 11l many eases these people need the in-; ■ ipriatiim* and national aid a great deal more than those dwelling nearer !!..■ seaboard or 011 streams that teem with industry. 'Hie highways are the natural feeders to railways, and im provements on them materially in • re.ise botli interstate and international commerce. If our government has seen tit to be liberal in river and bar bor work, It is reasonable to expert that the building and maintenance of public highways must demand the sauu- attention. There is an interde pendency here which cannot be over looked by those who analyze this ques tion aright. It lias long been a mooted question as to wli.it is the besl method of raising film's for the construction of public highways, but I know'of no better way than for state and federal government to i su<- special bonds for the purpose. Three per cent, fifty year bonds of this kind would find an immediate market, and they could be paid by a sinking fund of 2 per cent per annum, which would mean that there would be charg ed against this indebtedness ri per cent per annum to be provided for by taxa tion. Such bonds could be issued from time !■> time as the work progressed, so that funds would always bo available up ti> the limit of the bonded indebted ness agreed upon. There is a trait in American charac ter which makes us ultra conservative on some issues, especially where long established custom causes us to travel in ruts so deep that it is difficult to leave them. For '.ears the inhabitants of the rural distric i -t of our country deceived them selves in believing that the best, and by that i meant the cheapest, way to pay a road tax was to work it out by a definite quota of day's labor on the highways. It took a far reaching and aggrer dve educational campaign to persuade them that the old method of road building and repair was unneces sarily costly and thoroughly ineffec tual. Nor was this reformatlnn well started until so-te communities had made a practical demonstration of the actual value of g'»od highways to those who i'i>peud on the soil for a living. In working out His road tax Wie farm er ehn:g t-1 the idea that a dollar saved was a-• good as a dollar earned, and at the s-i:-''o time he lost siaiit of the tru i m tiijt it i good busine s p iMcy to inve.it a dollar which will bring back two. Once the fanner was shown by object lessons that good highways, passable the year round, were to a profitable handling of farm prod ucts 1 • freely expressed astonishment at having been fooled by the methods inherited from liis ancestors. This educational work, which in its inception called for great energy and the liberal expenditure of time and money, was later on helped by both state and federal government. An ap propriation was-made by congress for the purpose of collecting and dissemi nating information on road building and icpair. road materials and other kindred topics. As a result the farm ers learned that to build roads proper ly. though apparently expensive, was in reality an economic measure. They were led to see that the highways were natural feeders of railways and that it was:<% much of a detriment to have produce snowbound or mudhound on Hie farm as to have freight congested on tae railroad. They comprehended the difference in cost between hauling a ton a mile on good and bad roads, and they realized, too, that with pass able roads the year round the hauling to station and other shipping points could be done to advantage out of sea son when draft animals were not need y .These few paragraphs will indicate fn outline the manner in which Ibis great reform was started by agitation and fostered by education until the question is not, "Shall we have good roads?" but "Ilow can we best secure and maintain them?" F.xperience has taught us the valua ble lesson that highways must be con strtM ted and cared for under skilled su pervision. This point is emphasized by the fact that the demand for trained road engineers is constantly increasing, and to meet it our educational institu tioi.s and colleges are offering a regu lar coursi* of study lo lit students for this important work. A number of Mates have appointed highway com missions, whose duty is to suitably provide Ifor the expenditure of money appropriated for state highway*.

CALIFORNIA Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round— where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold? Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that will assure you a competence ? Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons, olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure, business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ? Then goto California, where both health and opportunity await your coming. The Chicago, Union Pacific and North-Western Line is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous double track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River. Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line throughout the summer to various Pacific Coast points, and colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during Sep tember and October, which give an unusual chance for settlers to make the trip at a minimum of expense. Daily and personally conducted excursions are operated through to San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland without change, on which a double berth in a Pullman tourist sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00, via the Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Railways.
