Perils of Fishing On Grand Banks ASSENGERS on the transatlantic liners of today, vessels which - carry as many persons as live in a good sized town and which the latest inventions of marine science have made as safe as a house on shore, have little idea what the psalmist meant when he talked of the perils of "those who go down to the sea in ships." But up along the fishing banks they know, and they aren't fond of the liners there, for the liners take more lives every year than the dreaded storms. The storms can't help wreck ing little ships. The fishermen do not believe that the wind bloweth where it listeth; they think it blows where it is fated to blow. But they also think that no law of nature or man forces the liner to race at top speed across the fishing banks, cutting down everything that gets in its way. The fisherman thinks he is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of fish, and he curses the speed madness which causes the steamship to make short cuts at his expense. The liners don't sink fishermen on purpose, of course. They don't even collide with them In tentionally. It is like a man stepping unconsciously on a bug and walking on ignorant of the catastrophe for which he is responsible. The fragile little fishing boat goes down before the steel hulled ocean greyhound without even causing the monster to quiver. For years the men of the Grand banks have complained of this, to their minds, unnecessary addition to the dangers of their calling. Now the French government has heard them and has issued a call for an interna tional conference to discuss changing the present steamship route so as to avoid the fishing banks. Last year the death roll among the French trawl ers in Newfoundland waters was 31-1. Of these it is true that 135 perished in the wreck of the Cousluns Iteunis of St. Malo. which was carrying men to St. Pierre to equip the fishing boats there; but of the remaining 179 fatali ties most were caused by ocean steam ers running down fishermen as they lay at anchor or in the fog. To change the steamship line and make it skirt instead of cross the banks would materially lengthen the distance the steaiters would have to travel. The compagnie General Transatlan tique (the French line) has already agreed to accept such a change, but it will be difficult to make all the big lines follow the French company's ex ample. Besides, there are thousands of "tramps" which come from nowhere, go nowhere. 4y j ý}sd ". buy ,.ý a szý6., 3..t t 3 q p i ýa rýi} wk Or nLyrý r aý Y w ý3 v '' ý q s z % o tr z s f >' -kP F D 'ý i A `Ur ff:?C J r t F+ 'Y While the discussion of this proposed change in the ocean highway goes on the big ships continue to sink the little ones. Only the other day the Red Star liner Vaderland cut the fishing schooner John A. Allen in two as she was cruising off George's banks look Ing for swordfish. This time, however, the liner did not flee, but stood by until every man on the sunken craft had been picked up. "I shall go back and tell the fisher folk that I know a liner's captain and crew who are not cowards," said Cap tain Toothaker of the John A. Allen after he and his six men had been landed in New York. "Something blacker than the mist loomed over us." said the captain. "We knew what that meant. We sprang to the dory, but the black thing came iown upon us dead ahead. Its siren Screamed, but the crash of my boat irowned the sound. The Vaderland rut us clean in two. On one side went three of my men. The other three and I caught hold of a dory and just missed the suction as the John A. Allen sank. I could hear three men in the water near by. We made for them antd picked them up. All of us were safe. We looked for the big ship, but it was gone, like the other liners that Oink fishermen and vanish in the fog. 3ut no, it wasn't gone after all. The lookout on the Vaderland had sighted the schooner too late to avoid running It down, and the steamer was brought to a dead stop in five minutes." I Relinquishing all hope of a record voyage, the Vaderland circled back through the fog, blowing its siren until It heard the answering call of the Wrecked fishermen.. - MRS. MERRIOTT W.

ROAD I MPROVEMENT WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN RHODE ISLAND. Fine Highways Have Been Built In Every Section of the State 'With Good Results-The Repair and (are of Roads. Much has been done in Rhode Island to improve the highways during the past four years, and there has been a popular demand of the people of the state that there should be built a net 1Work of thoroughly up to date and sub stantial roads, not extravagant, not cheap, but a system where at a mini mum of expenditure, yet conserving every qualification of utility and wear ing quality, there should be a .service for every part of the state. Roads have been built in every section of the state to the furtherance of its social, moral and intellectual interests, and there is not one part of it that has not felt the rcbouna. In describing the work done the fourth annual report of the state board of public roads of Rhode Island hays: From every side there goes up the plea for better highways and improved roads, and it is being answered not in the spirit of mere enthusiasm, but out of cold hard sense, for men are coming to see the real value of such roans to the ordinary business and commercial life of the day. Surely it is the best public policy for the state to keep its highways, its feeders of life and com merce, in the best possible state of preservation, for the more compact the life of the community the more neces sary do improved, well laid, well kept roads become. The popular movement for good roads, according to the very nature of the problem, cannot be localized. There fore the question of a bond issue is one that touches the whole state and one on which the whole state should be heard. There is no question of the ex pendituro of public money which is more vital than this, and none where a greater number are benefited. Roads cannot in any sense be considered sec tional or built for the accommodation of the few. On the other hand, Inas much as the future is to reap as much if not more of the harvest of utility and is to receive equal benefit, it is on ly fair that it should pay a proportion ate part of the expenses. The repair of the roads is of vital im port. It means the saving of the time, money and engineering skill which have already been invested. It is a question of waste against that of economy. It is a mistaken idea that a macadam road, once laid, needs no fur ther attention. On the contrary, to preserve its fundamental structure it should be cared for continually. The value of a macadam road does not lie in the fact that it is never going to wear out, but in the regulation of grade.' the hardened roadbed, the char acter of drainage that it gives. The engineering force can make the necessary repairs to better advantage while at work upon the section being extended than should they be obliged to return to it. Repairs should not be left to outside control, which at best would'be irregular, spasmodic and un satisfactory. The causes of disintegra tion are not altogether travel and usage. There are also those of atmos pheric and climatic conditions, those due to the nature of the stone of which the road was primarily constructed. A roadbed will not wear alike in all places. Were it so there would be needed only the occasional extensive reconstruction. It breaks in patches, and the mending process is therefore constantly necessary. During the year 1905 contracts were awarded for the construction of 22.08 miles of macadam road, to be built up on the highways included in the plan of improvement as adopted by the gen eral assembly, making a total of fifty seven miles of macadam road complet ed since the present plan of improve ment. Now that the electors of the state have voted to authorize the expendi ture for this public improvement it is but reasonable to presume that they desire and expect to have the use of these improved roads as soon as they can be judiciously and economically built. We believe, however, that they would not approve of an undue haste in the work, which would' result in roads of an inferior quality or of an unnecessary cost of construction. Sci entific road building on the scale now being done by the state, like every other large building enterprise, re quires adequate time as well as money for its proper completion.
