Hale and hearty, genial and jaunty with his oighty-three years lying very lightly or. him, Mr. Thomas Earl, of Lytton, visited The Delta Times office on Wednesday ln company with Mr. Honeyman whose guest he has been during his short visit to the Delta. Mr. Earl is a pioneer���nay, more, he is a pioneer of pioneers. It wis exactly 54 years to a day���the third of July. 18G8, Bince Mr. Earl left Eel* ui mult for Fort Hope. British Columbia has been his home, with a few holiday trips, ever since. Even on the third of July, 1858, however, Mr. Earl had established a right to rank as a pioneer.

He was first a "forty-niner" and next a "flfty- eighter" when the dlsrnyery of gold on the Fraser River drew men In thousands from the known to the unknown In the rush for gold.

It was a case of money down or nothing doing. The money was put down and Mr. Earl made the trip. From Fort Hope he went to Hill's Bar on this side of Yale, between Yale and Hone. The results were not overwhelming, but Mr. Earl was not discouraged, as nine years before that is sixty-three years before the present year of grace he had seen mining at Santiago, which had not panned nut better.

THE DELTA TIMES SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. W___8HINr>T��N STATE SEATTLE, July 4���That Judge Cornelius H, Hanford, of the United States circuit court for the western district of Washington, frequently nodded, closed his eyes, and acted drowsiiy, both on and off the bench, is an admitted fact today. Witnesses called iu "behalf of the judge yesterday afternoon, however, strongly denied that these were evidences of intoxication, but attributed them to a peculiar habit of the judge which they thought was brought about hy worry, overwork, und age. Ten witnesses yesterday afternoon followed the morning session. Charles Zimmerman, a bartender, furnished the strongest evidence against the judge, while former Judge Thomas Burke of the territorial supreme court of Washington, and Dr. Park Weed Willis, personal friends of Judge Hanford, gave the accused judge a most favorable bill of health as to sobriety, ability, integrity and industry. Dr. M. A. Mathewe, .moderator of tho Presbyterian church testified that he never saw Judge llanfo-d take a drink except occasionally at banquets.

Home Course In Road Making II.���Advantages of Im- ,. proved Roads. By LOGAN WALLER PAGE, Director Office of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture. Copyright by American Press Association, 1-12. NO road Is as expensive as a bad road. We spend about $100,- 000,000 a year on our roads, aud they are costing us iu addition a bad roads tax of at least $250,000,000 annually. It actually costs tho average farmer as much to haul a bushel of wheat from bis farm to the railroad as It does to ship It from New Vork to Liverpool, 3,100 miles. The loss lo the people of the United Slates annually ou account of bad roads would more than pay for their general ami widespread Improvement The burden of bad roads bears heavily upon the shoulders of the entire COQl'ITLAM TAX RATE. COQ'TXTJ-AM, June 29.���The rate of taxation for the municipality of Coquitlam this year will be 14.37 on improved lands with a rebate of two mills if paid on the date set. This ts approximately a rise of two mills on the previous*rate. Wild lands are to be taxed at 20 mills as against 15 mills -last year. It is calculated that the rates fixed would bring ln a rev- .��n_e of $100,000. The tax rate was artruck as above at the weekly meeting of the council held or. Thursday, "Reeve Mar? presiding.

OK COTTON, 5U0 POUNDS. people, for such roads diminish the profits of the farmer because he must haul fewer, loads, make fewer trips and market bis products when the roads are passable aud not when prices are best They are a burden which compels the consumer ln the city to pay heavily, not to swell the farmer's earnings, but to help the farmer to pay the money value of the absolute waste of energy and property due to bad roads. There would be an Immediate and tangible saving by road Improvement iu reducing the cost of hauling. How much this saving would amount to in dollars and cents would depend upon the character and extent of tbe im provement and the amount of traffic passing over tbe road. Iu 1908 the railroads of the United States handled about 800.000.000 tons of freight originating on the respective railroads. Of this amount about 20f*,000,000 tons represented agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products, all of which moved over the country roads at Initial or terminal points or both. The average haul from farms to shipping points In the United States Is about nine nnd one-quarter miles. ! The average cost of hauling on the country roads is about 23 cents per ton per mile. The total cost of haul Ing '_ti5,000.000 tons would therefore be about $2.10 per ton, or a total of $r,7_!.930,000. The possibilities of saving by the improvement of the roads may be understood when we compare Ibe cost of banting In Germany. France nnd Eng land with the cost of batlPng in this country. The average in i!i"se three countries Is about 10 cents per ton per mile, aud in many cases It is as low as 7 cents. If we cut the rate in the United States exactly In half by tbe Improvement of our main roods we would Htlll be l'._ cents over the aver ago for the three European countries named. If we could do this It follows that our annual saving would be in the neighborhood of $880,000,000 on hauling alone. Tho wear and tear ou horses and vehicles due to bad roads may seem a trivial matter until we take into consideration the fact that there ure about 25.000.000 horses and mules lu tbe United States, valued at $2,770,000,000. and about 1.500-000 carriages, buggies and wagons, valued at about $83,000.- 000. If by the Improvement of tbe roads tbe vehicles would lust one year longer and if one-tenth of tbe amount paid out for repairs were saved the re sultant sum would run far into the millions. Property Is much more valuable on an Improved road than on an unimproved road This increase in the value of the land adjacent to tbe improved road has been sufficient In many Vises to pay for the Improvement. An effort has been made to estimate the general Increase In land values due to Improved roads, and the average has been placed at somewhere between $2 and $9 per acre. There are positively thousands of examples where farms nave been sold at an increase of from $50 to $200 Per sere over their value liefore road Improvement. An investigation recently made In Ohio shows tbat there are sixteen agricultural counties In tbe state tbat bave leas than 10 per cent of tbe roads Improved, while there are forty-five agricultural counties tbat have more than 10 per cent Improved. The average price of farm lands ln tbe sixteen counties, according to the report of the United States census, was $48.50 per acre, while the average price of land ln the forty-five counties was $65.79 per acre. In other words, the average price of farm lauds in the good road counties was $17.29, or 35 per cent more than in the poor road counties. Wben we consider tbe fact that there are 873.000,000 acres of farm lands ln the United States the possibilities along this line are rather startling. Even assuming that the land would be increased only $5 an acre tbe total enhancement on farm lands alone would be $4.3flT).0O0.0OO. Improved roads will yield an additional Income by enabling the farmer to cultivate with profit land which otherwise would be less profitably employed. There are about 400,000.000 acres of unimproved farm laud in the United States. An average annual profit of 50 cents an acre ou this land would menu a net gain to the wealth of the United States of $200,000,000 a year. Truck products and small fruits must be delivered quickly to market If any profit is to be realized. Truck nnd I small fruit fai ius cannot be maintained with profit if a long haul over bnd roads intervenes between them and the railroad station A network of first class hard smooth roads will almost immediately increase the number of truck, fruit and dairy farms in any community. While the average value of wheat per acre Is only $7.03 and corn $S.72, the average value of vegetables per acre is about $40 and of small fruits $80, There is n steady trend of population from the country to the city, nnd this may be attributed to some extent to bad roads. During the ten year period 18-6-1900 the cities gained 2,174, 000 more people than the country. In 1800 only 16.1 per cent of the population lived in cities, in 1000 the city population represented about 31 per cent of the total, ami uow It ls probably about 45 per cent With hundreds of millions of acres of land uncultivated we have the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of human beings crowded into the cities, while year after year the human tide rolls restlessly ln from the country to furnish more consumers and decrease the number of producers. To prove that a relation exists between the question of population and roads the following illustration may be cited: In twenty-five counties selected from eastern, southern, western and northwestern states It has been found tbat only IV- per cent of roads were improved in 1904. These same counties show an actual decrease ln population averaging 3.112 for each county for the ten year period 1890-1900. Tweuty-flve other counties located ln tbe same states containing 40 per cent of improved roads show an actual Increase In population for each county of 81,005 Whether good roads cause good schools, or vice versa, it is true tbat tbey exist together and that one of the most Important reasons for their improvement is tbeir effect on school attendance ln the country. If the country schools are to bave a maximum efficiency ln training and Instruction the children must be afforded facilities for reaching them. Witb improved roads the graded school and the consolidated school will replace the little one room one teacher schools so prevalent in many sections of tbe country. The possibilities of a region of improved roads are made apparent by WILT, BUILT MACADAM BOAD ��� MAXIMUM LOAD FOB TWO BOUSE TEAM, TWELVE BALES OP COTTON, 6,000 POUNDS. many examples of schools which operate wagons regularly, which guther up the pupils and carry them to and from school. Wben the roads are placed In such condition as to muke this practice general a tremendous Impetus will be given to education In the United States. To Illustrate this phase of tbe subject the following example may be cited: In live states conspicuous for their good roads there was in 1904 nn uverage school attendance of 77.13 per rent, while in five other states having exceptionally bad roads tbe average was only 59.10 per cent. Furthermore, lt hns been ascertained tbat ln tbe five states baring an exceptionally blgb percentage of Improved roads tbe white illiterates formed only three-quarters of 1 per cent of the total population, while ln tbe five states wblcb showed a scarcely appreciable amount of road Improvement tbe white Illiterates formed 4*V. per cent of the total population, n percentage six and a third times as great as In tbe former case. Vh e THE CINCINNATI WHITE HATS.

They were all dressed ln black morning coats, with white top hats, after the manner of the late distinguished Ohio Republican statesmain, John C. Blaine.

HANEY, June 29.���The Water bylaw which was voted or. by the people of Ma-pile Ridge on Tuesday, June 18, was carrid by an overwhelming majority and this act will therefore bo placed on the statute books after the next meeting of the council. The ratepayers cast 90 votes for an'd 12 against the measure. As tihe bylaw affected scarcely anyone outside oif the town of Haney the voting at the Hammond and Whonr.ock polls was very light. Two-thirds of the votes oast against the bylaw were polled at Hammond, tlhere being eight against it there to 18 in favor of the act Ths following ls the vote as recorded: For Against Haney 63 2 Whonnock 9 2 Hammond 18 8 Total 80 12 The reason for the measure is that as a water company called the Port Haney Water Works Company had establh-hetl a waterworks in Haney, It was deemed advisaible to pass a law governing the laying of pipes, tearing up the streets and to give wha" protection to the company they were entitled to. CLOSING THE DEAL.' CHILLIWACK, July 2.���The voters of Chilliwack decided Friday at the by-law election held here to float bonds for $100,000 for the purchase by the city of the Elk Creek waterworks. The by-law providing for that amount was passed almost three tc one, the vote being 89 for and 3' against the by-law. The purchase price of the company will be greater than $100,000, but the balance will be raised on a mortgage. At the same time the water by-law was carried the ratepayers voted to leave Young street as it is, and the $5000 asked for widening it was refused.
