FOR BETTER ROADS.
Today Will Assemble the
Body From Which Much
Is Expected
In the Way of Suggesting
the Proper Remedial
Legislation.
The Subject Is Attracting In
terest All Over the
Country,
And the Convention of Today
Will Voice the Senti
ment.
The good roads convention that will
meet in the chamber of commerce at 10
o'clock today has for its purpose ihe
revolutionizing of our present system
of abominable countrj' wagon roads.
The Minnesota division of the League
of American Wheelmen has taken the
initiative in the movement. Of course,
it is naturally interested in an import
ant degree. Each summer long '•runs
arc taken by the wheelmen into the
country, going from town to town.
Last year the roads were so nearly im
passable, owing to the frequent and
persistent rains, that nothing like rec
ords of which the performers could be
proud were made, lt was, perhaps, this
fact tiiat set A. D. Choat, of Minneap
olis, and the chief consul of the
Minnesota division of the 1.. A. W.,
into a thinking mood. Each felt that
some heroic measure should be adopted
to remedy the condition. While" the
execrable condition of the public thor
oughfares works disastrously to the
outings and runs by the wheelmen, Mr.
Choat maintains that it must be many
fold worse for the farmer or others who
aie obliged to use wagon roads for pub
lic traffic. In one instance the bad
roads interrupt semi-pleasures and iv
the other they interfere seriously with
the transit of products and freights, or
hamper public traffic.
Just what the purpose is, in a minute
sense, has not yet been worked out.
The main object is to set a movement
on foot looking to a general remedy of
the evils that exist. But how the end is
to be attained is a recondite problem,
a solution of which the convention is
burdened with.
It has been incidentally suggested
that a commission be appointed to make
a searching investigation with
Conditions Tiiat Obtain,
with a view to future remedial meas
ures. So far as known this is the first
movement in the direction aimed at in
the states. There is no provision in
Minnesota's constitution for incurring
any indebtedness for the purposes de
sired. Therefore it is possible that the
legislature will be asked to submit the
matter to a popular vote at the next
general election. That is, the people
will be empowered to vote upon the
proposition as to whether or not a debt
may be contracted for the construction
and maintenance of good roads.
It is anticipated that fully 200 or more
delegates will participate in the conven
tion, and a strenuous effort will be made
to force the question to a practical
issue.
F. L. iloxie, of St. Paul, is the secre
tary of the cpmmittee, of which A. 1).
Choat is the chairman, and Mr. Iloxie is
brim-full of enthusiastic gossip concern
ing the project, lie gives credit to Mr.
Choat for instituting the movement, and
he asseverates that such a widespread
interest has been excited that there can
be little doubt that definite action will
be formulated at the convention.
This evening will possibly prove a
feature event of the convention. It will
be a general session in the hall of the
house of representatives, beginning at 8
o'clock, ami the members of the legis
lature are especially invited to attend.
Isaac 15. Patton, of New York, the edit
or of the magazine Good Roads, will de
liver an address, illustrated by stereop
tican views, upon the need of good
roads.
At the fall meeting of the Minnesota
division of the L. A. W. the sum of 5100
was voted towards assisting in promul
gating the movement and defraying the
expenses of a commission of inquiry
that will doubtless be asked for. The
attention of the press of the state has
been directed to the import of the con
vention and its purposes, and a
strong sentiment has already been
worked up throughout the common
wealth.
Convention Prograiimii'.
The convention will be called to order
at 10 o'clock this morning by A. I),
("boat, of Minneapolis, and this will be
followed by an address of welcome by
F. G. ingersoll, who has been detailed

expedient, etc.
Prof. G. B. Prendergast, of the slate
experiment station, will read the lirst
paper, for there will be a multitudinous
array of these. To him has been dele

Upon the Social and Moral Welfare of
the State." This will complete the
morning session.
At 2 o'clock in tho afternoon Gen. (',
C. Andrews, the ex-consul to Sweden
and Norway, will read a paper on "Eu
ropean Roads," and papers will follow

The coining good roads convention is
already attracting universal attention,
and it is hoped it may lead to some
good practical result. Every citizen in
town and country is much interested in
the road question. Our present road
system is a disgrace to civilization, and
cruel alike to man and animal. 1 have
been through Europe most of last year,
and the best public roads in the world

are far suiierior to those in England or

try pronounce them unrivaled. This
splendid road system is directly in the
hands of the government, with a gov
ernment inspector for each county, who
examines the roads and gives a certif
icate for the excellency of the work
done before the road contractors are
paid by the government. And this gov
ernment Inspection of the roads takes
place every three montlis; and the con
tractors are tint* always made to attend
to the repairs of the roads. I hope the
coining convention will consider this
system of public roadinakiiig. All who
have seen and examined it pronounce it
the very best in existence.

Mankato, Jan. 2-1.
IN A BROAD SENSE
Should Legislation Come— Ex-
Kepresentative Sheets' Ideas.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The agitation in the interest of good
roads should at this time be kept in line
with genuine democracy. There should
be no taint of paternalism in the future
"good roads" legislation. All writers
on this subject agree upon one thing,
namely, that good county roads would
enhance the value of adjacent lands.
The owners of such lands, then, would
be largely benefited by improved high
ways. A little candid thought will con
vince any one that, in a financial sense,
no one but the land owners will receive
any benelit. The farmer can market
his products with less labor, but he will
not pay his hired man any higher
wages for hauling a hundred bushels
of wheat to market on a good road than
he would for hauling fifty bushels on a
bad road. The tenant farmer will have
to pay a higher rent to the owner ot a
lann adjacent to a good road than one
not so advantageously located. The
man who buys wild land for the pur
pose of opening up a farm will have to
pay a higher price for land connected
with markets by good roads than he
would lor land not so favored. Fur
ther, it appears that "property" in a
town, connected with the surrounding
country by good roads will be of greater
value than in towns of other equal ad
vantages but without good road con
nections. Hut the only "property" to
be thus enhanced in value is business
and dwelling lots, lt is conceded
by all -that good roads will make
cheaper farm products, cheaper
goods, cheaper building material,
cheaper houses. Anything that re
duces the cost of carrying products of
all kinds from the producer to the con
sumer cheapens the price of such
products. No kind of property in town
or in country will have greater value by
reason ot improved roads, exceDt lands
and lots. The fanner's house and barn,
his fences, his teams, will have no
greater value than before the improve
ment of the roads. But his land will be
of greater value. This enhanced value
on his farm will be precisely the same
per acre as on the unimproved iand
across the road owned by some non-resi
dent—a foreigner, perhaps, whose foot
has never pressed American soil. The
merchant who does business in a town
enjoying the benefits of good roads sells
more goods, and sells them cheaper,
and pays a higher rent than a com
petitor in a town not so favored. The
buildings tliey occupy may oe of equal
cost, but the one built on a lot the more
favorably located will bring the higher
rent. The greater rental value is in the
lot. -
Now, it seems to me it would he
eminently just, and democratic, withal,
to secure the revenue necessary to build
good roads by laying a tax upon the one
class of property which receives all the
benefits. A situ law which would
enable the land owners alouir any high
way which it is proposed to improve
to "lay a lax upon adjacent lands
upon petition of a certain per cent
of such land owners would solve the
whole problem of a road revenue. The
tax should be the same per acre on im
proved and unimproved lands of equal
natural advantage. In order to secure
this, the assessment laws should be
changed so that the assessor's books
would give the site value of farms sep
arate from tin: total value, and the tax
could then be levied upon tiie-site value,
which alone is enhanced by the im
provement of the adjacent road.
I do not claim any originality in pro
posing this plan for raising road reve
nues. A method very similar is already
in practice in Indiana for improving
country roads, and 1 believe sireet
improvements in St. Paul are made
on this plan. Those who want state aid
and county aid as well as national aid
for country roads ought not to be found
outside of the ranks of those who think
the foreigner can be made to pay the
tariff. Why should A who owns a farm
in li township, be taxed by the county
board to hell) build a road in (' town
ship in a distant part of the county? Or
why should property in Houston county
be taxed to build roads in Kittson
countv'.' Or the people of Minnesota pay
taxes to be expended in building roads
in Texas'.' Tlie only excuse for such a
system of aid in road building is that
each locality would get as much aid
from all other localities as it pays out.
If such be the case why not let the peo
ple of each locality raise their own rev
enue and expend it themselves? ta--.-y%
Again, we have no need of a road
commission or bureau in the state or na
tion, nor a cabinet officer whose arduous
duty it shall be to gather statistics on
methods of road building. We do not
want to pattern after Europe, where
such excel lent roads are built at the ex
pense of the laboring class and for the
benefit of the landlords: where the
enormous advantages of the improved
highways are of no benefit to the
masses, except, perhaps, to enable them
to travel out of such favored countries
and emigrate to a country noted for its
bad roads. European governments col
lect enormous revenues by tariff duties
and other taxes upon labor and use
them in the spirit of paternalism for ex
tensive internal improvements which
enhance the value of lands. This in
crease in land values goes into the
pockets of the landlords in the form of
annual rents, which the peasant ten
antry must pay for the opportunity to
cultivate the soil of their native land.
Unless we can build up our new road
system upon a more equitable principle,
wo had better travel through mud
awhile longer. J. 11. Sheets.

HIS THRILLING TIME.
Terrible Adventure of a Boat
man From Verndale,
Wadena County,
Who Went From There to the
Gulf of Mexico in a
Small Craft.
State Solons Made at Home
in the Commercial Club
Rooms.
Sons of the Revolution Will
Observe the Birthday
of George.
William Walden. of Wadena, has had
a very painful and thrilling experience
'and just now is the hero of many a
story running through the papers pub
lished in cities on the Gulf of Mexico.
His adventures were such as few men
would care to experience, and were
fraught with hardships and suffer
ing of the severest kind. On the olst of
.July he left Minnesota ina double-encler
clinker-built boat, built on the model of
the Norwegian fishing boats, and started
on his journey to Dundee county,
Florida, Ins only companion being a
Scotch shepherd dog.
The boat was well provisioned anil
fitted for the journey, and the trip down
the Mississippi river, past the quaran
tine station and into the Gulf of Mexico
made without accident or mishap worthy
of mention. ' Four weeks ago last Sat
urday in a heavy northwest squall his
boat vvas driven ashore on Mitchell
island, about twenty miles south of Cat
island, in the harbor of Biloxi, Miss.
Mitchell island is a low, marshy piece
of land with no timber or vegetation ex
cept marsh grass, uninhabited and about
as desolate a spot as one could find.
About this time Walden's provisions
became exhausted, ami for five days he
was without food, during which time he
suffered intensely, and added to this
was the unusually cold weather which
prevailed. On Christmas eve the
blanket in which he had roiled himself
was frozen hard and stiff, and with his
clothing saturated with the rains or the
day before his condition was critical.
His only means of providing a lire vvas
with charcoal, of which he had a small
supply, lie built his fire in a small
frying pan. Without this he would
have frozen to death. Fortunately he
had an ample supply of water.
At the expiration of live days the
panes of hunger had been so intense
that he resolved to kill his dog. For
three weeks and one day he remained
on his boat, his only food b^ing that sup
plied by his dog, of which he only ate
sufficient to keep him alive, not know
ing how long it would be berore assist
ance arrived. During these three weeks
two or three vessels passed within
speaking distance of him and promised
to send him assistance in the morning,
but when morning came they were out
of sight.
Finally, last Saturday, the lugger
Second Hope, of New Orleans, came to
his rescue and pulled his boat afloat,
alter which he was taken in tow by the
schooner Alert of Biloxi, Capt. Calvin
Laduier, and brought to this place yes
terday. At the time the lugger Second
Hope came to his assistance his supply
of dogmeat was well nigh exhausted,
and a few days more on the island
would have resulted in his death by
starvation.
Mr. Walden was sixty-three years
old last mouth, and is a member of the
Grand Army of the Republic. He en
listed in the Tliird Massachusetts cav
alry and served throughout the war.
lie was witiiout family and was en
route to Florida, where he owns some
properly, and where he expects to
spend the remainder of his days. He is
here now without means, but has two
months' pension pay due him amount
ing to f-^'J, on the receipt of which he
will continue his journey by rail, as it
is his intention to sell the boat here.
He has had an experience of twenty
seven years as a seaman, but says tins
is the closest call he has ever known.
Mr. Walden i.s an intelligent old gentle
man, but says he is somewhat behind
on the current events of the day. as he
has not seen a newspaper since the 20th
of last November, ami that was eight
days old. The boat in which he made
the journey from Minnesota is 22 feet
long, 8 feet beam and 20 inches deep.

SOLONS AT PLAY.
The Members of the Legislature
at the Commercial Clnb.
The Commercial club gave a reception
and .smoking concert last night in honor
of the members of the legislature. The
elegant rooms of the club were well
filled, and among the gentlemen were a
goodly number of senators and repre
sentatives. A letter of regret was read
from Gov. Nelson, stating that execu
tive duties prevented his "being able to
accept the invitation of the club to be
present. An address of greeting to
members of the legislature was deliv
ered by Eli S. Warner, who
stated that the club desired
to become acquainted with the legisla
tive an.l executive branches of the state,
lie explained the purpose of the club as
being more in the nature of promoting
the trade, commercial and manufactur
ing interests of the city and state rather
than having political or social designs.
In his address he expressed a hope that
members of the legislature shall aid in
state development. The club expects
co-operation in its work. Mr. Warner
averred that he meant no flattery when
he stated that the legislature had done
well thus far. He vvas glad that Hon.
C. K. Davis had been elected as senator
—all the members of the club, he said,
congratulated the legislators on this
election, although in tiie face of "most
corrupt opposition."
Prof. Edwin Neale, of Chicago, enter
tained the audience for a half hour with
clever slight-of-hand work, and his call
ing to his assistance several prominent
senators and representatives created
hilarious amusement to the discomfiture
of the legislators.
W. li. Parsons sang a couple of bass
soios in an edifying way. Emil Straka
rendered Wieniavvski's mazurka on the
violin with such excellent touch that he
was encored, and rendered his own
composition— a lullaby. Mr. Dc Celie
also assisted with vocal solos. Frank
Q. Svvasy did some clever piano work.
During an intermission in the pro
gramme luncheon was served In the
dining room.
GEORGE'S NATAL DAY
Will Be Suitably Observed by
Revolutionary Sons.
As far as tne Minnesota chapter of
the former is concerned, there is no
want of good feeling between the two
patriotic orders of the Sons of the Amer
ican Revolution and the Sons of the
Revolution, In other parts of the
country a considerable rivalry between
them has existed, and bad blood has
threatened on more than one occa
sion. At a meeting yesterday of
the Minnesota society of the first
named order a resolution vvas adopted
instructing the delegates to the national
convention at New York to use their
influence in securing a cordial amalgam
ation of the orders. In this move, while
Minnesota does not actually take the
lead, it is in the foremost ranks of those
who are in favor of a concert of purpose
and action among those whose objects
uud ideas are the same. At the meeting
yesterday the question of the
annual observance of Washing
ton's birthday was disposed of.
The idea of a banquet was opposed on
the ground that it was not sufficiently
elevating, and it was decided to observe
the day wiih a public meettng in the
hall of the house of representatives, at
which Washington's farewell address
to the army will be read, together with
other patriotic and suitable productions.
A committee of five, of which Senator
McMillan is chairman, was appointed
to take charge of the programme and
arrangements.

Prof. White's Bible Study Series
Attracting Attention.
Prof. White took up the work of
Bible study last evening where he left
off the night before, but for the sake of
those who were there for the first time
he reviewed the historical setting of
Amos in order that they might the bet
ter follow-in the advanced work. Mrs.
Cochran gave a very full report of the
chapter analysis ot the chapter under
consideration. Mrs. .1. A. Williams
gave a very comprehensive explanation
ot the lirst eight verso. W. L. Wilson
cave a report on I'z/.ia, king of
Judah, while Frank FurgesonJ report
ed ou Jeroboam 11., king of Israel, '1 he
moral and religious situation in the
time of Amos was interestingly re
ported by Mrs. A. W. Harrison, while
the political situation was reported by
W. P. Jewett. The second part of the
hour was taken up by a presentation of
the period of the "First Re'urn Under
Zerubbabel." The professor set very
clearly before the audience the three
captivities, or periods or the captivity,
the first in 606 U. C. when Daniel and
his three companions were taken into
Babylon, the second in 5.).) or 593, when
Ezekiel and others were taken, and the
third in 583 or 586, when the temple was
completely destroyed, in this connec
tion he brought out a very in
teresting tact— that there were
tliree periods in the return, each
being about seventy years from its cor
responding captivity. li. G. the litst
captivity was in ('.!)(_ or 635, the first re
turn was in 535, making seventy years,
etc. The progessor noted a her very
interesting fact In connection with the
second chapter of the Book of Daniel.
Daniel began to prophesy about the
year 600, and in the figure used by
Daniel we find that the Babylonian
kingdom existed for seventy years, or
tiirough the captivity; this kingdom
was represented by the head of the
image, then follows the Medo-Persian,
continuing for 203 years, represented
by tiie breast and arms: after that
comes the Grecian, represented by
the belly and' thighs, and finally the
Roman, represented by the legs and
feet, and Home was in the height of its
splendor when Christ came. He also
made interesting remarks on the sev
enth and eighth chapters of this same
book. One remarkable thing in the
professor's work is the tearless and at
the same time gentle manner in which
he expresses himself. He makes sure
of the truth, and then nothing will
hinder him from expressing it. To
fully aupreciate his work one must
needs hear and see him, and to do this
once almost insures a repetition. The
lecture for today is at 4:30 p.m.; note
the change in the hour. The chapter
under consideration is the fourtii of
Amos. The work in chronology is the
: period of the second return, simplified
by-charts. All those attending should
bring Bibles.

NO GASOLINE THERE,
And How tlie Schoch Eire Started
is a Mystery.
The insurance held by the Andrew

863,500. This amount is divided as fol
lows: On building, $27,500; on stock,
$30,500; on engine, boiler and appliances,
$2,000; on furniture and fixtures, $3,500.
Mr. Schoch places the loss on stock
from $30,000 to $35,000, and on the build
ing from $15,000 to $20,000. The state
ment that gasoline was kept in the

mystery. The insurance men claim
there will be a salvage of 25 per cent on
the stock in the basement and lirst floor,
and that the building can be put in good
condition for $6,000 or $S,OOO. Tlie ad
justers will begin on their duties this

YOUNG FOOTPADS.
A Precocious Gang Hounded Up
by the Police.
A {;ansr of youthful highwaymen was
rounded up last evening by Detectives
McGuiggan and Meyerding. The pris
oners are George Decker, .lohn Mosic
and John Somlenski. Monday night an
elderly man, whose name cannot be
learned, vvas held up on Eighth
street, near Broadway, and robbed
of a sold watch, pair of "gold eyeglasses,
scarf pin and $2 in money. As soon as
he recovered his breath, the highway
men before leaving having kicked him
ill the stomach, be shouted for the po
lice, and on the arrival of an officer told
his story. Not being perfectly sober
when he met the fellows, he was un
able to give a very accurate de
scription of them, but it vvas sufficient
to enable the detectives to pick up
Decker as one of the gang. Arriving at
the station Decker vvas turned over to
Chief of Detectives McGinn, and after
a half hour spent in private with that
gentleman Decker weakened and told
all about it. According to his
story Somlenski anil he walked
the victim down Eighth street
and while Somlenski held the man up
he went through his pockets. Yester
day morning the booty was given to
Mosic, who pawned tiie watch ou Jack
son street, and gave Decker and Som
lenski 75 cents each, claiming he only
received $2 for the timepiece.
About 10' o'clocic the detectives
arrested Mosic, and shortly after
Somlenski was gathered in. The watch
was recovered at the pawn shop and is
now at police headquarters. Music, who
has served a term in the reformatory,
was charged with receiving stolen prop
erty, and Somlenski and Decker with
highway robbery. Mosic is also wanted
for the larceny of an overcoat from
Philip Becker's resilience at East Sev
enth and Forest street. IKH
KIEHLE GETS THERE.
Gov. Nelson Reappoints Him Su
perintendent of

Muehlberg Blade Adjutant Gen
eral — Bevens' As
sistant.
The unexpected does not always hap
pen, out it often does.
No one would have supposed that,
after the expressions of popular disap
proval littered at the meeting of the
state teachers. Gov. Nelson would have
appointed 1). L. Kielile superintendent
of public instruction, but that is exactly
what he has done. He got a quiet mo
ment all to himself last evening, and
issued the order. There is no doubt
that a hard light will be made in the
senate over the confirmation, but it will
go through.all the same.
Being in that mood, his profound ex
cellency made two other appointments,
and they will meet as little public favor.
He named Hermann Muehlberg, of (Car
ver county, as adjutant general, and 11.
T. Bevens, of Stevens county, as assist
ant, adjutant general. There will cer
tainly be a howl over these appoint'
ments, and especially over the removal
oi Charles ,J. Humason, who now so
satisfactorily holds down the oliice of
assistant.
