THE WINGUAM TIMES AUGUST 31, 1905
THE ROADS IN HURON.
The following particulars of the roads
in Huron county are taken from the re.
port of the Provincial Road Comteie-
sioner for 1004:
The county council of Huron main-
tains bridges of 20 feet epan and over,
ou all boundary lines. An engineer,
paid by salary, supervises all county
work, Bridges are about 100 in num-
ber, and are being rebuilt with steel and
concrete. The county is remarkable for
the fact that not one of the townships
has commuted or abolished statute tabor.
Gravel is, as a rule, plentiful and 1s
fairly well distributed; but broken stone
lute been need to a slight exteut. Con-
creteis very largely used throughout
the county for culverts and email
bridgee.
In every township statute labor is
worked out, and in nearly all the roads
are all gravelled; Hullett has one mile
of stone road, and in nearly every town-
ship the material used in the roads is
gravel. The following townships have
road graders: Colborne, Goderiub,
Grey, Hay, Howick, Hullett, Morris,
Stanley, Stephen, Turnberry, East and
West Wawanosh. Since this report was
issued Tucitersmith township has pur-
chased and put into operation a stone
crusher. Grey has biz steel bridges,
Hay one, Howick one,Hullett six, Morris
ten, Stanley one. Colborne township
has two concrete culverts over four feet
span, Goderich one, Hay one,• Hallett
two, Stanley two, and West Wawanosh
four, The following is the road mileage
in the different townships:
Ashfield 189
Colborne 125
Goderich 156
Grey 180
Hay 110
Howick 145
Hullett 135
McKillop 120
Morris 120
Stanley 112
Stephen 170
Tuckersmith 127
Turnberry 87
Usborne 126
Wawanosh East 86
Wawanosh West 120
Grey Township—Five steel bridges
have been built in the township, cost-
ing in all $0,000. Five concrete culverts
were built in 190.4. Less ground is
travelled annually by the pathmasters
and the nature of the work is more per-
maneut.
Hullett—We have six steel bridges
from 30 to 100 feet span. A. 90 foot
span erected last year, cost for abut-
ments $2,100, and steel top $1,500. Four
small steel bridges were built this year;
total cost abutments, $963; total cost of
steel tops $556; and for cement floor
about $52 each more. We have twocon-
crete bridges, each a little over four feet
span.
McKillop—A by-law is passed compell-
ing all parties building new fences
The matter of keeping snow roads open
is serious difficulty and the methods em-
ployed are ploughing and shovelling, If
the law was amended compelling each
individual to keep snow roads open, a
large number of people would build wire
fences.
Turnberry—No change he been made
in the statute labor system, except in
unincorporated villages, where statute
labor is commuted. We have a Large
number of tile concrete culvertsand they
give good satisfaction. Some years there
is considerable difficulty in keeping snow
roads open. Pathmasters call out their
men and give certificates for work done,
to be allowed on following year's statute
labor,

[The Khan.]
Gimme a map of Canada!
Why, there's only a few email spots
That's populated—here and there,
In little scattered dots!
And here I am a hired man;
I'm ordered round on this here plan:
"Oh, you come here l"
Or, "You go there!"
It isn't very sweet.
The North, the West, both cry: "Tut,
tut?
Come right up here and help us cut
And shock and thresh our wheat!"
And I've put in the peg;
I think my lured -man days are done,
So here's another on of a gun
That's off for Winnipeg;
To have a homestead 1 am bound;
No morewill 1 be ordered routed.
Like "Toa come here!"
Or "You go there --
Get baby on your feet t"
Tonight the Ittbercon I'll cross;
Hereafter I'II be my own boss,
In the Midst Of my own wheat!"
'fire Sloping Vloer.
The architects of a, new building re.
Gently completed and which extended
froth one street through to another
found a difference of thirty Inches In
the street levels of the two thorough-
fares. Steps at either end of the build-
ing were regarded unfavorably, and so
1t was deelded to build the first Door
on an incline. At first sight this slope
was not noticeable, but the clerks dis.
covered It In the most unthought of
way. Several of them were comparing
notes on the all absorbing question of
socks one day, and one of them re-
marked: "I can't seem to get socks any
more that wear veli. Mine have holes
in with one day's use."
"That's odd," said another salesman.
"So do mine, and they never used to."
Others echoed the experiences, and
finally the solution was offered by the
department superintendent, wbo said
this was due to the man walking on
au incline so much. "Your socks are
all right," he said, "but they won't
stand the wear incident to traveling
up and down hill all day."
JelTeraon's Prayer and Poultice.
Joseph Jefferson was suddenly taken
i11 once while visiting at the home of
a friend. The wife of the friend whose
hospitality he had enjoyed became
alarmed over his condition and, being
of a religious turn of mind, wished to
instill in the mind of the actor her be-
lief in the necessity for spiritual con-
templation. A call to his room for the
purpose of applying. a poultice gave
her the much desired opportunity.
"Mr. Jefferson," she said, nervously
shifting the poultice from one hand to
the other, "for your sake, for the sake
of your friends, your family, I — I
would like to pray for you."
The actor listened attentively, and
his answer came slowly. "Yes, mad-
am," he said, "you may—for my sake,
for your sake, for everybody's sake—
but for heaven's sake put on that poul-
tice!
Bankers Like Mohammed:ma.
A swarthy man drew $500 out of the
saving fund, and the cashier said on
bis departure:
"If all our depositors were like that
gentleman our concern would soon be.
come rich. Murad Ali is an Indian,
a native of Calcutta, and his religion
forbids hint to take interest on money.
Ile has had a savings account with
us for twelve years. His interest al-
together has amounted to $700. But
he has never accepted a cent of it. It

"All Mohammedans are like Murad

ness, and bow glad our banker:4 would
