Secretary Wllscn's reply was Lancaster. But Len-
°llt°r was encased ny sunuel um in work out could
not he delayed in Washlrigton state, sq to I-lobson's ro-
qusst Kr. Hill_x-apilod that instead of sending Lancaster,
he, Hill. would go to Alahamrhlmselt.
He did go, .and for several weeks devoted his time
and maths to tha beginning ot s movement which Mr.
Eohusoshdsolared will mean the revolutionising ofvceds
s o s
me tate.
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

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

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. `
