the talented coterie Of artists in the

board of supervisors the other day.
Continuing he said There is no other
pleasure 80 great 10 the people living
In Iron county today as that of driving
about wherever there is road fit to
drive on. IL is about the only pleasure
that we have and | ara in favor 81
extending it,
The subject Of good roads is one that
has been simmering for several years
and will some day IN the near future
be one of the foremost question before
the people of this county We have
heard the proposition 10 bond the
county for the construction of roads
frequently mentioned and it is gaining
in favor every year as the county is
more settled and the necessity OF
roads becomes greater. In several OF
the counties Of the peninsula the quest
ion Of bonding the county for the con
struction of roads has been agitated
and in Delta county, "A year ago, a
proposition 90 bond the county in the
sum of $i40, 900 was submitted to the
elect rs
just at the present time IL would be
very injudicious for the county to at
tempt any expansion in road work as
labor and supplies are so high that the
c :. Z max NJ roads is d ub'td bat
should we ever again have pane or
times approaching those Of 1894 97the
very wisest act that the county auth
critics could do would be to put every
idle man on the roads of the county
Had that policy been pursued, instead
of doing out assistance during the
years mentioned this county would
have been great deal better off today.
Another proposition that is being
talked OF and is gaining gorund with
each succeeding year is that of abolish
ing the present system of township
roads in the county and placing the
whole matter under the supervision of
the county road commissioners. This
would be one Of the wisest moves
that could possibly be made as at least
fifty percent Of the money spent on
the township roads today is wasted.

WRECK ON HOPE BRANCH.


There was a wreck of the Hope brant h
of the O. NJ * S. T. p road last Sat
'urday afternoon that resulted in the
derailing of five cars loaded with ore.
Engine No. 9s went to the Hope 20 do
the switching and bring out the loads
that were ON the siding there. Just as
they emerged from the wood at the
foot of Lee Peck Mill into the swamp
that stretches between that hill and
the Armenia mine the engine and one
car passed successfully over sink hole
that exists there but the track under
the remaining five cars simply slipped
off into the hole and four OF the cars
went out of sight There as break
man on the end of the fifth car and
luckily the end of the car upon which
he was sitting did not sink so that ne
was not hurt but he was thoroughly
frightened
The engine and one car was uncoupl-
ed and got out of danger as quickly
as possible The wrecking car was
secured and workswas continued upon
the wreck all day Sunday and part Of
Monday until the tracks were cleared
The piece of road bed across the swamp
rests on trecherous ground and it will
require much filling and careful watch
ing for some time before it is perfectly
secure.
