and maths to tha beginning ot s movement which Mr.

llr. Hill does not favor, a national good roads asso-

ciation or government appropriation to carry cn. the work. He has had his experience with s national ensc- cietion, accused some of those in it ot graft. dissolved it. and ihemcsrns to the conclusion thet state associations are the only proper means of carrying on the movement.

Hs do_ou not approve wot- government aid. believing that

it would create e jgrehbag. But he does believe in 'etets shi gy isalllatlvelenectment. and at the last session ot "U _ lion lillature caused to be passed the first good roa& bills assist the movement.

Others will be torthcoming at the next session two

years hence. and on the Washington laws, when com- pleted, he expects to start movements in all other states to secure similar iowa' ` _

He has gone further. A few weeks ago he secured

the promise of the board ot directors of the Stubs Agri- cultural‘Collego at Pullman to-establish a chair-at good meds at that institution. When the position is created Mr. Lancaster _will be its first occupant.

In Lil! preliminary work that has been done by the

Good Ronda Association oi Washington state, every step has he_en figured with a precise knowledge of the details.

One ot the first things Mr. Hill did was ts apply rall-

_road methods to the work. He had blanks printed which he sent to every farmer in the state.,aski,ng_ that the fn» rormsilon sought be iilisd in and the blank roturnod. This lntorma'tion related to the distance each farmer was from market. the condition of kill lla led ever, the

it doan by railroads in that country.

Ha showed that in King county, Washington, alone,

more than $l.®0,0W had been spent on Nada, and there was hut one mile of good road in the county.

The sentiment of the farmers was aroused, and the

work in the stats, through his influence, is turther pro- gressed than 1.u'any other poorly roaded state in the country. `
