Nevada Has Good Roads.

The Nevada Post prints the follow.
ing statement of how that town Inn
proved one of the roads leading into
town, smelter cinders being the i'm.
proving medium. lola has ell kinds
Of cinders, could haul them cheaply
and in case there was trouble from
their blowing awey, a little of the
crude oil found in some of the gas
wells would add the benefit OF oiled
roads. Here IS the result OF the ex.
pertinent:
The wisdom of the effort to have
good roads, made by the Nevada
Commercial Club, is made evident by
the half mile of road just completed
east on the Cameron road from A.
Ambrose's east line. This was the
worst piece of road without doubt in
Vernon county. 1t is now the best.
The work has been under the SUPER
vision of Oscar MEG innis, chairman
of the Commercial Club committee.
which was guarantee that It would
be well and thoroughly done. Fiji
teen or twenty teams have been kept
busy grading up the road and haul.
ing cinders for ten days. The money
for the work was contributed princi-
pally by the business men of the city.
Anyone who had the misfortune to
pass along the Cameron road during
the winter will admit that there was
no sort of pleasure in the effort. 1t
Is different now. 1t is as firm as the
eternal hills and as smooth as a park
boulevard. If every road leading in
to the city was similarly treated
those who travel them would rise up
and call them blessed who brought
about the change.

lola PROSPERITY SPREADS
Cement Company Buys APO Acres of
Allen County Land for
$4,000

Two deals were closed up last
Friday by which the lola Portland
Cement Company becomes owner o
APO acres of land In Allen county, and
the consideration paid was $50 600
The land was bought because 1t lice
in the heart OF the gas belt south east
of lola and because there is no doubt
whatever that something like twenty
wells can be sunk on 1t, each of HIGH
will flow on an average of 5000, e0C
Gu bic feet of gas daily. The acquisi-
ton of this gas removes the only
criticism which has ev been brought
against the cement company rs q
certain money maker, that it did not
control sufficient fuel Beyond the
shadow of doubt 1t now owns gas
enough to operate the works here for
years and years to come.
The first deal had to do:with the @

tion for which was $4,000. This land
Is the ssuth-w west quarter of section 4,
township "a, range 10, lying on the
south bank OF Elm Creek, about six
miles south. east of lola. 1t was
originally leased to the Palmer Oil
Company, but the matter was taken
int court by the heirs of the lessee on
the ground that he had but q life in
terest In the place and therefore could
not permanently dispose of 1t in any
way. The land was worth in the
market for farming purposes about
$4,000 and Judge Thompson, who
brought suit for Mr.. Parrish, wen for
him $4,000. Mr.. Parrish finds him
self at the age of some fifty years pos
sesssd OF $40, 900 in cash, and is pre-
pared to face the declining years Of

Case Whore Quarantine Failed.

Ft. Scott Monitor The residents
OF Bronson and vicinity have joke
on young man in that neigh borhood
that will last "him for awhile.n A
certain deputy sheriff on the Dry
Ridge in this county, who is not inn
mune to small poX, therefore cautious
not to catch the disease, hearing that
certain farmers wife had taken
sick, concluded without investigation
that 1t was genuine case of small
poX and was bent on obeying the
sheriff's instructions. He was de-
termined that the disease should not
spread and very promptly HE'D away
TO the farmers house and getting no
nearer than the fence sent in a quar-
antine notice by a child, put up a
yellow flag and swiftly departed, con-
graduating himself that he had per-
formed his duty and at the same time
had taken no personal risk. The hus-
band of the woman was away on ur-
gent business, and that night with the
small pOx sign hanging to the front
gate, a fine baby, having no fear OF
the cOntagion, came to the farmers
home. At last reports both mother
and baby were doing nicely, and the
father is very desirious that Sheriff
Brooks shall raise the quarantine.
He signifies his willingness to give n
bond that the disease shall not spread
from his family.
