TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Great Road Convention TO 30 Held at
Galveston, May 22.

Great Road Convention TO 80 Hrid Al
Galveston, May 22.
There Is one especially encouraging
feature OF the good-roads movement
IL is the activity In that direction In
regions remote from centers OF popula-
ton.
A convention Of delegates represent
ing the great state of Texas is 10 be
held in Galveston, beginning on May
20. In Arkansas q state convention was
held mt Little Rock In February, in
which n resolution was adopted rec
ommending constitutional amend
ment empowering county authorities
20 levy n special tax for carrying on
a work of general highway improve
ment Similar steps have been taken
in several other states of the south and
west.
Another encouraging feature Of the
movement is n general disposition TO
profit by the experience Of other coun-
fries-notably OF France, which has
perhaps the finest wagon-roads OF any
country. Good roads are more easily
made and kept In order there than In
most countries. because OF the scarcity
of forest areas, which conserve moisture
and render somewhat more difficult the
keeping of highways in repair. But II
is possible and well worth the while
20 have good roads and still preserve
the desired areas of natural forest. The
time is not distant when the neglect OF
either OF these important interests will
be matter of general public regret,
and will be viewed as public misfor-
tune.--Youth's Companion.
