UP TO THE CITY
The Commander the Arkansas
Should be Requested to Come
Congressman Wheeler Has Done AL
Possible TO Do.

Congressman Charles X. Vince Ter
stated this morning that he would
not further act in the matter Of secur-
ing the visit of the bsttleship Arkan-
sas and that this matter should be tax
en- up by the council and board Of al
dermen or the Commercial club and
the captain and officers Of the ship be
requested to bring the boat here, and
some provision made for entertaining
them II they come.
The conditions ON which the visit ID
based are the stage Of the river and
the disposition Of the officers to bring
her here. II the boat can gain day
on her trip and can make the trip
from Cairo here without accident OF
endsngering the boat. then the navy
department agrees to consent to the
boat coming. $3.50
Mr.. Wheeler said this morning that
he had done all he intended TO and
that aliIremsining to bcIdone would
have to be attended to by others who
were interested and had the time.
A move is on foot TO have a com
mittee appointed from.the Commercial
club to go to Memphis and meet the
commander and officers Of the battle
ship when she arrives there and try TO
arrange for the ship to come here. II
is understood that the ship will spend
about two days at Cairo, and 1t would
require a short time only to bring her
here and give the people an opportun.
ity to see a real battleship moored at
the wharf.

WAS MARRIED AFTER ALL.

Carbondsle, I'LL, March 2S-There
are new developments in the romance
Of Miss Flora Gross Of Murphysboro,
H., and Prof. John Barrow, who was
said to have Tilted the girl in the Phil
ippines, after she had travelled 10000
miles to wed him.
Relatives of Prof. Barrow say that
a cablegram dated after the letter writ
ten by the girl, January 2s. has been
received announcing their wedding.
This condition is partially borne out
by the fact that Barrow furnished the
lady transportation and up to the last
moment seemed sincere in his desire to
wed her.

If Paducah is to receive a visit from
the monitor Arkansas some provision
should be made to entertain the Off
GERS. 1t is done elsewhere when the
vessel stops, and if it is not done here
IL will not be to the credit of our pro-
gressiveness and generosity. Former
Congressman Wheeler, soon after it
was suggested in The Sun, wrote to
Washington and asked that Paducah
be given an opportunity to see a
real war vessel, and the department

THEY SEE THE HANDWRITING

The Democrats of Paducah usually
have an early primary, because they
want to get il of their hands and dis
pense with the confusion and uncer-
tainty incident TO every campaign.
This year a change has come over the
spirit of their dreams, and they have
called late primary. There is rea-
son for this. and that reason is not
hard to find. Il is because this time
they prefer fighting each other to
fighting the Republicans. They will
never again in Paducsh have the
walkover they sometimes had here.
They will get run for their money
this time. Their party, locslly as we'll
IA in the state and in the nation, is
hopelessly split. They have contend
ing factions in Psducah that are 60
ing TO now contend through the spring,
summer and into the fall. They will
not have an early primary, select their
officers and then seek to heal the
wounds of battle before the conflict
with the Republicans in November,
but will scrap among themselves until
September, when they will select
their men and then take what is COM
ing to them from the Republicans.
The reason that they want to hold
the Republicans off as long as possible
is that they know the fix in which
they have gotten the city. They know
how well aware the people are Of their
past extravaganza, Of their enormous
tax rate of sl.S5, which, if necessary
was made necessary by the Democrats,
and not the Republicans. They know
Of the paucity Of improvements dur
ing the past several years,ss compared
with the amount Of money spent, and
they are afraid to face the results OF
their incompetency. They are going to
pull each others records for each 9TH
ers respective advantage and disadvant-
age, and then the Republicans will use
the records against the whole party,
which is responsible for what any fac
tion in it does.
The outlook for the Democrats in
Paducah is not very rosy, and they
know it. They usually put out their
men and let the Republicans nominate
q ticket or motif doesn't seem to have
made much difference to the Demo-
Gratis which. But this year they are
not looking for trouble.
In making the selection they did
they have bargsined for a-plenty. At
present one of the most formidable
candidates is Mayor d. A. Yeiser.
The more candidates there are against
him, the easier will he walk away
with the nomination. Councilman
Joe Potter is talking of running on
the independent ticket, which would
hurt the Democratic party but never
touch the Republican, while if Mayor
Yeiser is nominated then comes the
question of his eligibility. The con-
stitution says the mayor shall not
serve two successive terms, and it has
never yet been decided whether he can
succeed himself or not. The Demo
Gratis, however, may settle that them
selves, or leave il to others should oc-
casion demand 1t. The more men run
against Mayor Yeiser the easier will
no win IN the primarNfnd if the Dem
ocrats undertake to phi all those who

Cost Of "Cood Roads,"

Now that the subject of "good
roads, is being agitated, it may in
terest our readers to learn something
about the cost of what the authorities
consider good roads. We clip the
following from government pamph-
let on the subject:
"The ir deduction in recent years of
improved oad-building machinery has
en- nabled the authorities in some of the
States to build improved stone and
gravel roads quite cheaply. First
class single track stone roads, feet
wide, have been built near Canaan
daigua, N. Y, for 5000 to 81, 900 per
mile. Many excellent gravel roads
have been hullt in New Jersey for ST.
600 to 81, 300 per mile. The material
OF which they we're constructed was
placed on in two layers, each being
raked and thoroughly rolled, and the
whole mass consolidated to thick
ness OF inches. In the same State
macadam roads have been built for
So, 600 to $1,000 per mile, varying in
width from 9 to 20 feet and in thickness
OF material from 4 to IL inches. Tel
ford roads IA feet wide and 10 to IL
Jersey for 80, 900 to $4,000 per mile.
Mac adam roads have been built at
Bridgeport and Fairfield, Conn.,, 18 to
20 feet wide, for SO 600 to $4,000 per
mile. A telford road Is feet wide and
IL inches thick was built at Fanwood,
N. j., for SO, 500 per mile Macadam
roads have been built in Rhode Is
land, Is to 20 feet wide, for 81, 900 to
$5 900 per mile.
Mass achusetts roads are costing all
the way from $4,000 to S25, 900 per
mile. A mile of broken stone road,
Is feet wide. cGs!s in the State off~ Mass
achusetts about SIS, 700 per mile, while
mile Of the same width and kind of
road costs in the State of New Jersey
only 81, 700. This is due partly to the
fact that The topography of Massachu-
setts is somewhat rougher than that of
New Jersey, necessitating the reduc-
tlon OF many steep grades and the
building OF expensive retaining walls
and BRIDGES, and partly to the differ
euce in methods of construction and
the difference in prices of materials,
labor, etc.
Doubtless the State of New Jersey
is building more roads and better
roads for less money per mile than
any other State in the Union. Their
roads are now costing from 20 to 70
cents per square yard. Where the tel
ford construction is used they some
times cost as much as 70 cents per
square yard. The average cost of all
classes of the roads of that State DUR
ing the last season was about so cents
per square yard. The stone was, as a
rule, spread on to depth of inches,
which, after rolling, gave depth of
about 8 inches. At this rate SINGLE
track road 8 feet wide costs about s2,-
346 per mile, while a double-track
road II feet wide costs about 81, l06
per mile, and one Is feet wide costs
about 5,280 per mile. Where the ma
terial is spread on so as to consoli-
date to a 4-inch ]aver the foot road
will cost about 81, 173 per mile, the H.
foot road about $2,053 per mile, while
the one l8 feet wide will cost about $2,-
640 per mile"
