ROADS Stltemeut Issued to the Press by Com mittee Arranging Plans The committee which has been working for tome time ou the cost and practicability of s eerier of elec- tric railway lines throughout the county of Huron have issued the fol- lowing atatewent to all the papers in county and has requested [bat they publish the satire for the benefit of their leader.. The report is as fol- lows :— [.et us start at the beginning. Ra- dial roads bid often been epokeu of in private conversation, and to wake the matter a public question, several busi- ness men of Goderich had a special meeting of their Board of Tittle tailed to discuss the project and put this matter into shape to become a busi- nees proposition. This we. -ting was held about the middle of August, and before its edjournweut a com- mittee was appointed to interview the Hydro Electric Commission to see how .tar they would assist in the pre- liminary work of ascertaining whether such an uodertakieg would be a pay - fog proposition. This committee weal toTritou,o, and the chair ruvr of the commission r the Act fully. In hisexl-1 tuatiuu he told the committee that the Hydro-Etecuic Commission would send a staff of engineers into the county as scon as they were re- quested to do so, t 3 make a survey of the proposed toute, and gather oil the information ne'esesry to show the people of the county that such radial maim would be a paying proposition, or that it would not be a paying pro- position to build them. Al this work would be done at the expense of the eomnliesioo, and would be dor.e thor- oughly. Furiherwore, the chairu.ai said, electricity would follow the rr,- posed lines and would bs able to dis- tribute power and light eight miles on each side of the road, thus alimot es- suring hydro to every town, village and even every farm house iu the co. my of Huron, at a cos' w ith.n their -reach, whereas without some such scheme as now 'spoken of, it would be too expensive for along time to come. "The committee said to the chair- man of the cowwis.ion, 'what must we do to get the machinery in operation??' He replied ; 'Upon the request of a uklhtictpelity of your county that we mare these surveys, we will at once despatch our engineers with instruc- tions to survey the lines you propose, or as neer to them as thought advis- able, for to yield the hest results.' "We suggested that when we return- ed we would call • meeting of the rep- nesentatives of all the wuoi_ipslities and teak the matter over, and bave the request made forthwitb. To this the chairman of the commission re- plied that bedid notthiok it necessary to bave a general meeting until the en- gineer.had their cepnt; but suggest- ed that when we gent home we have the council of the town of Goderich make the request, and accompanying the re- quest we were to send en outline of the proposed route. We did so, wttb the result that the hydro eugineets were soon on the ground end ere now busy surveying and preparing estimates. "The route mapped out was so nu- t -Sager' as to penetrate the heart of every municipality of the county of Huron. Although this does not nec- essarily fix the lines, they will be there or thereabouts. "After the engineers- report is pre- pared, we intend to rail a public meet- ing of those interested, in some con- venient place in the county, and have their findings placed before the meet- ing, when it will be fully discussed, and should the undertaking commend itself to those present. the scheme will be advanced to the stage of presenting 1t to the county council• asking them to make it a county scheme, built by thecounty and owned by the county. "The chairman of the commission pl a;nly said that they would float cur bowl-, build and equip the road, and when completed would run it, if the county wished them to do so," IF YOU ARE A DRINKING MAN You had better atop at once or ycu'II Lose your job.

F. Johnston, son of Mr. W. H. Johnston, of Kippen, the well-koowo secretory of the West Huron Teacher'' institute, will he of much interest to readers of The Signal. Mr. Johnston is wsenetic ob'erver for the Carnegie institution at Washington, in whose interests be is now conducting a series of observa- tions in South America. Writing at Rivera, Uruguay, Mr. Johnston says : 'Dear People,—Here I am on the northern corder of Uruguay. In fact this afternoon, accompanied by one of the police commissioners, I walked acrose the line into Brazil to the town of Santa Anna. We strolled along the principal streets and viewed the plaza, which is always one pleasant spot at least iu the Spanish-American towns. Afterwards we called on the Uruguayan cnoeul and bad some matte, which is the favorite beverage down here. in fact very little tea is usetj. Matte grows on a low bush very eiinilar to the tea plant but in- stead of oblong it has lanceolate leaves. The leaves are picked and dried in a similar way to tea but the method of drink:ogit is peculiar. They le a dualmade of sone kind of wood w ich is in shape a very much Hatt ned sphere with a hole in the outer periphery. 1 is bowl is partially filled with the tried leaves and boiling water poured on it, and the infusion is sucked up through a hollow, spoon shaped affair. The guest of donor is offered the matte fleet end then all the rest take their turn. Atter each one has taken what be can suck up the bowl is, filled again with boiling water. The better -to-do people put in a spoon- ful of sugar each :ime. When a num- ber of people sit down fur a little con- versation the matte t.awt begins to circulate. Oa this particular case 1 think I had tire or six filler of the bowl. Matte (pronounced ma-tay) is a favorite with all classes. The poor man bas his kettle for hot water slung over an open fire, is • ile the more well- to-do man has an r,lcohol lamp or of late a primus bur.r. These are the same mudelr as are used oo polar expedition.. 9' it reservoir for oil is airtigbt and ti re is an air pump. When air is pumped into the reservoir the oil is fo, c. -d up to the burner, but before reaching the nozzle, the oil has to pass through the Hawes and is volatilized. This gives a great heat and besides is ..very efficient. When starting a butler it is necessary first to heat the nozzle, usually done by a wick or waste dipped in alcohol and placed beneath. Rivera is the first place I have seen outside of Montevideo. It is built among and over small hills. The main streets are lined with trees and remind one of the tree -lined stemma of some of our Canadian towns. At present they are leafless except for a few kinds of palms which line the streets street for a few blocks in Smits Anna, Coming up here 1 saw several or- tricb farms and was quite interested to see several of the birds take fright at the train. NVith greet speed they set off across the country but under the control of some instinct which used to animate their ancestors on dirtaot deserts, just ae their forebears often outwitted taster enemies by turning at right angles to the course with never a loss or stride or speed—to these birds as they fled, ever and ancn changed their directions even though they were not pursued by natural enemies but were alarmed by an un- natural sight and noise. On the sharp turns their plumes, which ordinarily lie close to their bodies, opened out and make them look twice as large to minding one of the apparent enor- mous increase in size when a gobbler puts on airs. This is a country rich in natutal resources. The land is es rich or richer than our Canadian northwest. When ouce it wakens it will be one of the richest countries, size fur size, as nearly every square wile is Capable of being tilled. In fact as I have travelled over their railway systems (before I un through I will have travelled over 1100 out or their 1:910 miles of road), the vista of rolling country, covered with grass here in the north and cultivated fields in the south, has become decidedly mono- tonous. lo fact here, as on the Canadian prairies, there are few trees except in the river valleys, though thanks to government encoursgemeut wary thousands of acres have been planted in forest. Eucalyptus thrives and the Oregon pine and northern fir seem to grow as well here as in their native hone. There is little here in the way of natural scenery, which the writers of guide books find so useful iri writing up • country. The only place 1 rernetn her having seen, which struck ate at all, was the valley or Tanbore.. Sud- denly leatiog behind the undulating.

Here and there through breaks in the river bank one can see • range of low mountains rising dark blue against the sky. The people are interesting. In Montevideo one feels a pleasant con- trast to the rushing cnsruopolttan lite of Buenos Ayres, which with its million and s half of population, is aping the greater metropolis of Lon- don, of Paris and New York. Here one could Imagine oneself forming delight- ful companionships with an educated people. In fact I felt very ignorant as on all sides people were wanting to talk in French, Oerman and Italian, while I only knew one language. Along the line of teaching languages they ate away ahead of North Ameri- ca, for they not only teach one to read but especial stress is l+id on speaking foreign languages. Small, indeed, is the town which has not its professor, in French, German and even English, who instruct in the upper schools. But though the towns are well ed- ucated there are but few schools in the country. In tact the peon seems a lazy, matte -drinking individual. He is content to live in a mud hut without a floor or windows and seems content if be can only own a horse and have enough to deck it in Is curious flat saddle while he himself has great wide Turkish -like trouser•", a woollen pouch and a gaily decorated scarf around his neck. Thus he works a few months a year on some of the great estancias and loafs the rest. When once he can be educated up to tilling a piece of land which he owes himself, the whole country will take an enormous stride forward and in- stead of a cattle and sheep producing country, will become richer because they will be utilizing much more of their natural agricultural resources, But I must atop my ramblings Needless to say 1 can get but a super- ficial knowledge, for though 1 have travelled throughout the land yet, be- cause I know so little Spaniel), could not seize the opportunity of talking with the people and getting their idea of themselves. The few English people I bave met have been kind and the Spanish have been very courteous in putting up with my halting Sparkish. I expect it will be nearly a month before I get to Asuncion and the mail which i hope will be there. Still, i am enjoying my trip and so far have had veru little hardship.
