Telegram Indulges in a prediction in Sunday's letter, as follows: Tho third party movement in Brad ford county is not amounting to any thing. It is petering out, becauso it never had a start, tho self-appointed delegates to tho Philadelphia convention being so far from rep resentatives of any faction that there Is no Interest in what they aim to do, or would like to do. .Hon. G. W. Klpp Is making the mistake of his llfo In playing Into the hands of a few renegade Republicans, be cause his only hope Is tho regular Democratic ticket, which ho seems to have forsaken. A great many Democrats who cannot seo any im provement in the third ticket over the regular nominations of the Re publicans and Democrats will not support Mr, Klpp, for they are sore' because he has become interested in tho third party movement. "Bob" Edmiston of Milan is en gineering Mr. Kipp's third party campaign and how well he will per form this task will bo better seen on tho day following tho election in November. Here Is a prediction and you can stick a pin in It: Tho Republican ticket will be elected in Pennsylvania this fall by an old-time majority, and Colonel Pratt will be returned to Congress in spito of all that Clem Heverly, Bob Edmiston and Ensign Rundell can do.

SCRANTON, Aug. 30. Superin tendent Joseph W. Hunter of tho state highway department, Stato En gineer Arthur W. Long of this city, the Wayne county commissioners and road supervisors of Greenfield town ship are to Inspect the new stretch of state road on the Greenfield pike leading to Hawley Sept. 9. The road has been repaired for three and one-half miles, the contractor using macadam on a rock bottom. The work Is completed, with tho excep tion of rounding out the top dress ing. Engineer Long says repairs may be made this fall on the stretch of road between Northern Chinchilla and Clark's Summit. In many places the top dressing has worn off, and in other spots the road bot tom needs to be replaced. Tho road supervisors throughout this section, according to Engineer Long, aro taking greater interest than heretofore in tho repairing of the roads In their district. This is due largely to the Jones bill enacted at the last legislature, which directs tho state to refund 50 per cent, of tho cost of repairs where tho work does not amount to over $20 a mile.

With Good Itonds tho Fnnncr Can Haul to Highest Market. Hero is what Georgo W. Lattimor, Chairman of tho Joint Roads Com mittee of tho Ohio Stato Board of Commorce nnd tho Ohio Stato Grange, hns to say on tho subject of good roads In his recent report: "Tho fnrther ono studies and In vestigates this subject, tho moro ho Is convinced thnt It is ono of tho greatest problems of tho United States. It touches tho welfare and Interest of more Individuals than any other one question that Is boforo tho American public to-day. Thero is not n man, wdmnn or child, in tho country or city, that Is not obliged to use tho roads. "Owing to tho extremely bad roads of the present time, tho far mer, who is tho producer, is obliged to haul his product to tho nearest market nt such times during tho year as the roads are passable. This occurs within two or thrco months In tho fall, altar the harvest. This glut and over-supply makes tho very lowest prices of tho year for tho pro ducer, and tho consumer. In tho cit ies and centers of population is obliged to pay tbe very highest prices during the months of the bad weath er. Good roads will ellmlnato such conditions eo that tho farmer can liaul his products to the market at any time during tho year, whonovor the demand calls for It, and tho con sumer can buy whenever tho goods are wanted. Thus the producor will be able to secure a better prlco for his product and the consumer pays lower prices for his necessities. "For years tho United States and Stato governments have been appro priating money for waterways, steam railroads and other means of com munication, all of which aro good, but these questions becomo Insignifi cant of what good roads will bring to tho inhabitants of this country. Ev erybody should be interested in this question, and should urge Federal, Stato and county aid for Improve ments which at this time aro all vital to the welfare of our country.'1 Rural Delivery for Better Roads. Tho large crops and high prices of farm products tor tho past 20 years, together with tho general prosper ity of the wholo country, toad to in crease the desire for the good things of this world, and affords moro leis ure to enjoy what we have. Tho Increased number of peoplo who ride over the couuntry for elthor ploasuro or business to say nothing of the driving required by the great system of rural delivery which has bo re cently been inaugurated, havo creat ed a pressing demand from one end of tho country to tho othor for a better grade of highways than havo heretoforo been dreamed of. Some roads vill be built by tho national government and others by tho States, but the counties will always bo tho greatest promoters and builders of good roads. Some States aro already spending millions on their highways. Massa chusetts appropriated $25,000,000 a few years ago for that purpose and now has many r.lles of beautiful roads as smooth as asphalt pave ment. All Europe abounds in fine roads; but they havo been at it for centuries and havo learned tho art to perfection. It may tako genera tions fx put all our roads In as good condition as theyarc abroad, but wo havo made tho beginning, nnd each year will doubtless show much pro gress as a whole. Road Construction. A few suggestions about tho proper construction of a roadbed may not bo amiss. To begin with tho surface should bo made very crowning, for it im mediately begins to flatten by uso, and will continue to grow moro and more so all tho tlmo if nothing is done to provent It. But it can bo held h good shape by occasional scraping. Tho scraping will also do a great deal towards filling up the Bmall depressions, which aro tho real beginning of all trouble. But some now material must bo carefully put in by hand whore needed not too much, ns that will create two holes, where beforo there was but ono. Uso moro brains and less stonel A good road cannot bo made without hard thinking. Keep in mind all tho time that you aro lighting water! You will notice that tho roads always re main in tho best condition on the grades whero the water can easily run away, and you will aUo obsorvo that they always grow bad first in tho valleys and level paces, and that it Is becauso tho roadbods aro flat, or perhaps oven holowlng with little dams of sod on tho sldos so that tho water stands there until It soaks in or dries up, instead of running away quickly, as it should, and would if the surface was kept crowning and tho furrows kept from forming, which act as canals to conduct the water down into tho lowest part of tho road, whore mud and destruction Join hands In tholr ovil work. A I'rolltablo Lino. I bollevo that raising cows tor rrnrkot if they are tho right kind of stock, is as profitable aa any line of farming. Tho helfors will always bring good prices, and tho steers will top the market at tho yards. lKOF128SIONAIi CAKDS. Attorncvs-nt-Lnw. K WILSON, . ATTOItNEY A COUN8EI.OK-AT-I.AW.
