FARMERS SOUTHEAST
NEED THE ROAD.

The viewers of the proposed
road entering town through the
Frick ranch were with us Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday and
ran lines over both routes.
The main argument advanced to
them for the road by the school
house by some of the residents Of
tho north end of town was that
that road would be great conven-
ience to people living east, pre-
sumably Chenoweth and Fondis.
This argument leads to the ques-
ton, "who, outside of three or
four doing business on the school
house street, really wants the road
from the easta" Only one answer
can be given-the many people
living southeast who must now
come over the Schimpf hill. The
people northeast already have an
old established and we'll Travelled
road, and do not ask a change.
When the improvements now
under way by the Russell Gates
Mercantile company are farther
advanced and farmers must reach
their creamery and store the road
past the school house will force
these farmers southeast to travel
three-fourths of Il mile further each
time they come to town. The
school-house road is plainly unjust
to them, since natural road over
shorter route can be had.
This south road is the one they
want and ask for and the one they
will have before the business is
finally settled.
