FOR GOOD ROADS.
Timely Talk: by a Reader of The
Publicist.
When a mau who isproBpcotlncwilli *
view to investing in laud in Oklahoma
comes within our bordors there are foar
things he obBerves more closely than
anything else, viz; the quality of the
soil, the number of school houses, the
number of churches, and the condition
of the roai's.
Of course there are other minor things
that ft prospective investor may inquire
about, such as the quantity and quality
of our products, rain-fall, general health
of our people in this climate, their poli-
tics, etc., but |the four mentioned
above are the principal ones that inter-
est a mau who is contemplating settling
with his family in this county. Now so
far as our ichool facilities are concerned
they are unsurpassed. We t njoy us
good a public school system as cau be
found in moat of the states, and i uost of
our distiicts, if not all, are provided
with good up-to-date teachere, coinlort-
able school houses and all the necc ssary
modern apparatus for facilitating and
assisting instruction. As for churches
we are well supplied, nearly all .the
leading denominations being represent* 'd
and supplied with good pastors and
commodious otiurch buildings. Ann
eur soil is productive and easily cultiva-
ted, hoing far B-jperior to the soil ol J
most states, so our new comer is not.
disappointed in this respect. But when
he travels over our roads and finds them
almost impassable iu places and the
bridges gone from across many streams,
he is liable to become completely dis
gusted with our section of country and
"shake the dual fro.n his feet," ami
seek some Other locality more congenial
and nearer to his ideal of a country in
which to purchase a home.
In view of the foregoing facts, tin-
coming legislature should paes a bill
which will enable us to improve our
roads and build good, substantial bridg
es wherever they are needed. 1 he pres
ent road law is wholly inadequate and
it should be replaced by one that will In-
sufficient to meet the emergency. A
,evy hould be made for road purposes
•«<* then the work si ould be let uu r
contract. When a law of this kind <►
enacted then we may expect to have
respectable roads in the timbered parts
of Oklahoma, and not until then, since
the present law is an inglorious failure
and at least one hundred years behind
the times in which we live.
It hns been demonstrated repeated'IT

BOERS CAPTURE
TWO HUNDRED.
British Disaster at Helvetia Re-
sembles That of Nooit-
gedicht.
London, Dec. 31.—The Boers have
practically repeated the Nooitgedicht
victory within two weeks. An account
of the British-disaster at Helvetia, Bun-
day, is coutined to a brief dispatch from
Lord Kitchener. The Boers captured
two hundred men and killed and wound-
ed fifty. After |tlie attack the Boots
withdrew from the place, presumably
taking all the ammunition and provis-
ions. It is also feared several British
guns were captured. Another dispatch
trom Kitchener says the British losses
at Helvetia were four officers wounded
and eleven men killed; twenty-two
wounded. One gun and a detachment
of men were captured.
The Morning Leader says thirty pet-
cent of the 250,000 British soldiers in
South Africa are 111 and unable to take
the field. The remainder, tho paper
says, arc assailed at all points by the
floors.
London, Jan. 2.—Kitchener's efforts
to cheek the invasion of Capo Colony
appear to be unavailing and it, is
doubtful if the colony can be cleared
of the Boers until cavalry t\ iutoree-
menis arrive in tho vicinity of Uoles-
burg. Several British posts have been
taken and the Boers have capon ou
maoy cattle and a quantity of supplies.

COMBINING.
Cotton buyers tell us that 20 ,000 bales
of cotton, raised in Lincoln county, have
a'ready been sold in the county this sea-
son. At #50 per bale, the average price
this year, this staple has yielded our
farmers a round million dollars.
Hog buyers of the county tell us thut
300 car loads of hogs have 'ocen shipped
out of the county this year. The aver-
age weight of these hogs is 190 lbs.
Counting 90 hogs to the car at the aver-
age price of $4.50 per hundlred, tho pork
product of the oounty fo ots up to the
neat little sum of 8350,000.
Considerable wheat htas also been
shipped out of the ooumty. We have
no means of securing figures but those
best informed estimate that its value is
at least equal to that of the hoga sold,
8250,090. This elves $1,500 000 without
counting the corn raised in the county,
a large part of whioh is still in the hands
of the farmers or is being fed to cattle
and hogs not yet marketed.
If we had auy means of learning the
value of the cattle, horses, poultry, eggs
and butler marketed, we doubt not that
the cush value of the agricultural prod-
ucts of the oounty would easily aggte-
gate «2,300,000.
Are there many counties that can
make so good a showing?

8i. Paul, Minn., Jan, 1—The Pioneer
Press tomorrow will say: "It is said that
there is now being prepared In St. Paul
a speoial train of several cars in which
officials of uoarly all the prominent rail-
roads of the country will visit the prin-
cipal shipping points to study conditions
with a view of doing a,vay with fas'
freight lines and local freight agencies.
"The plan is to have in each oity on«
man to represent all tho different roads.
All freight business wi 11 be done through
him and he will see that each of the
roads seoures its share of the businoss.
Railroads not entering a shipping point
who now havo to maintain a freight
agent to look after their interests there,
will, in the future, be represented by the
joint agent of all the roads, if this gl
i-antio plan is carried out. At least ten
thousand high priced railroad officials,
it is asserted, will bo dinplaced, thus af-
fording uu enormous sa ving. Hut the
main object of this community of inter-
est is for the maintenance of tariff
rates. Railroad ofiicials, li is said, hav
long seen the lolly of rate cutting, but
have not been ablo to avoid it while
there has been such competition.
"Should the plans be adopted, there
would, of course, no longer bo any com-
petition for freight business, and tariff
rates would be maintained. The saving
in this respect would, the promoters
predict, result iu enormously inareasing
the profit of the roads, 'iherc would be
uo neciissity for differentials iu favor of
weaker roads. The joint agent at each
competing poiut would assign to each
road its equitable share of business—this
share, having been previously decided
upon by hand.
"•James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern road, when aeen in regard to
the plan outlined, denied any knowledge
of it, and said that so far as he w f
aware no preparations were being made
for such atrip as stated."
