Pi ttsbI'1rg" Phil and Riley Gran- gnon are `dead, poor fellows. Both were high rollers in their time, but they did not care for the spotlight.

Davy Johnson, is still withus at the track, but he is practically broke. Johnson never knew the value of money. He has won and lost a do- zen fortunes on the turf. One day `last 'fall at Belmont Park: Johnson won $52,000, beating six; races. `In a week he did not have a button, `and from that time to this he has hadzpretty hard sledding. The most remarkable think about Johnson is his ability to dig up. a new bank roll. Just how he does it -nobody knows, but he can get hold of `real coin when others cannot: Two years ago Johnson came out of winter quart- ers-with $400,000, some of which he -made in .Wall Street. -He began his oldfplunging; tactics `at-the track and` inside of two months he was clean- -ed.` out. ' ` I've often heard V bookmakers. . say that Johnson was' an easy mark for them, but `just the same when he was in one of his winning streaks they usually fought shy of him for the reason that he might have bro- ken them: all. Davy would bet all the mom , in the world if he could Eet his_ nds on it. Nowadays, though, he's lucky to be able to make a. $500 wager. Times and con- ditions have changed, said the turf- man. _ _ .

Gates behind him`, and between them they came near` cornering the -racing and betting game. It was Gates plunging, his $5,000, $10,000 and $25,000 wagers, that enabled the "reformers to get after race track Betting with the big stick. `He was asked to,.quit too by. the Jockey Club people, but he paid no heed until he wound up a` spectacular campaign .at.

While there is `considerable variation -:hroughout_th'e Province to meet local circumstances, the roads are being constructed i-n a durable man- ner, and due attention to drainage, grading, a covering of broken stone and "gravel", and the use of modern rozl-making machinery, -such as grading machines, rock-crushers and steam rollers, is being given. The aim has been to secure permanent, and thus experienced, supervision; to encourage uniform and systemat ic work; to properly operate mod- em and economical implements; to provide careful, constant and meth- odical supervision and mainte'na':'tce, ` and to educate the public as to the meaning of good, roads.

A commen- cement has to be made at some point. To set apart certain roads, under county-council management, gives an opportunitv for such com- mencement. Township. councils through the inuence brought to bear _upon them by ratepayers, are unable to devote special expenditure to complete _and nished work. A "scattering of the township} expendb ture in small improvements is de- manded of them and has become the established custom- "It is oniy 'by removing certain roads from this in; uence that nished and durable work can be expected.'_..,;- l'\.- A` Li... ..:,_;._;.-'.',.`I iL_i ...-.....5-- wu I\ you us; \.Ayc\._I.c\,_|._.,~-' , .

This was not so in the earl- ier days, but the aborigines have beenspoiled, an_d_ the conditions are different. .;CompetitionV` also has changed and made it necessary, to do trading in" much quicker time than formerly. -In this, he adds, it _is. impossible to hurrythe northern Indians-T Here is the explanation in his own words : v':`Supposing- you were coming down the -Yukon and stopped at an `Indian `village, knowing that there was another trader coming back of you. A squaw will pull` a measly marten fur from her bosom and of- fer -it to you for a big price. By the way if you ever buy a. poor fur from` an Indian you will never be able to get a good one in the same place. My custom has been to grab the skin, when a-poor -one~is shown by a squaw, and throw it on the ground", spitting on it. Then anoth- er squaw will bring out a good fur and I_ can buy it. _ _ ' use.

It is almost impossible to_ buy more than one fur at a time from the Ind- ians, and they usually want more than they are worth. This is be- cause they have been spoiled by some inexperienced trader. When an Indian gets a big price for a fur it is hard to make him come down in his demand afterwards. 'VSometin-rue-s` into the sha_c_ks and find the furs myself, not waitmg for the squaws to show them, and I can get good furs in this way, for they always reserve `the best until. the last. This is dirty work and you are liable: to nd most ~anything in the holes. I found a dead man once,.,and it scared `me so that it was .a long time before I` tried that game again.
