COMMUNICATED
CLEAR CREEK, April 18th, 1905.

CLEAR CREEK, April 10Th, 1905.
Editor of the HERALD:
The people in this neck of the
woods are glad to realize at last that
somebody in yourtownis beginning to
see the Importance of having good
roads to connect this part of the
country with Havre.
In two of your recent issues we see
that you call attention of the ener-
getic business men to the matter, and
deplore the fact that 'the roads
leading from the south and southeast
into Havre have been sadly neglected"
while other towns, Chinook and
Harlem have no difficulty in getting
all the roads they want. Now Mr..
Editor, right here is the point.
While the other towns have been
reaching out for the trade of the
ranchers in the Bear Paws and other
sections around, Havre has been going
on in the even tenor Of its progress,
satisfied with being railroad town,
and either ignorant Of the resources
and possibilities of this part Of the
country, or industrious of it's trade,
has refused to take but very little
interest in the establishing of good
roads leading out in this direction,
while thousands Of dollars of trade
have been going to Chinook annually
which might have gone to Hayre had
we had such roads leading to your
town as we have leading to Chinook.
When we are reminded of the
history of road-making, leading to
your town, we remember how we
have been treated by some of your
business men who had the opportun-
ity to serve the public but at the
time, for reasons satisfactory to
themselves, preferred to serve private
interests, and aided by recommends
tions in disseminating the good road
that we had down Bull Hook and
locating it upon the bench where it
crosses over high ridges and deep
soulees making it as you say "almost
impossible for the farmer to haul any
kind of load over it, We had a
good county road along Bull Hook
creek before very little of the land
along there was taken up, but it was
afterwards displaced for the air-ship
line up over the hills in order to
further the interest of one settler,
and that against the vigorous protests
of nine tenths or nearly all of the
people in this direction who had to
travel the road to get to Hayre.
If Havre is interested in country
trade it's business men should interest
themselves in the matter of roads
The Havre herald. [volume] (Havre, Mont.) 1904-1908, 1905-04-20

and not lend their influence in des-
troying whatever part of a road that
may be found to be reasonably pass
able. What Havre needs in order to
get it's share of country trade, is q
county commissioner on the board
who will look out for it's interests in
the matter of roads and bridges; for it
is well known up here that a bad
road to Havre means good road to
Chinook. The phenomenal prosperity
of those towns down below is largely
the result of good roads leading to
town from every neighborhood for
many miles and they have many roads
all through the mountains and across
the prairies leading to town, the
result of having county commissioners
to look after their interests when
appealed to by business men and
others interested.
A good county road from Havre
running out to Clear Greek at about
the Silver Bow ranch or Sedgwick's
would be a great public benefit and
afford an inducement to many settlers
up that creek to go to Havre instead
of Chinook. Another road of great
advantage to Hayre would be up
Beaver creek on Little Box Elder on
over the divide to Birch creek on the
south side Of the mountains, and
which would divert considerable
portion of trade which now goes to
Big Sandy and Chinook.
The town of Havre may some day
in he not distant future wake up to
the fact that it has neglected oppor-
tunities which might have been
turned to it's advantage. Aside from
the fact that it's railroad works might
some day be removed and, that would
be only d small matter for the Great
Northern to do, the day seems not
far distant when the people south
and southeast for Il distance of from
thirty to fifty miles may be earnestly
requested by both Havre and Chi
nook to help decide between the two
on a county seat proposition, and as
all roads lead to Chinook, the SYM
pathies and choice of large number
would be too apt to follow the road,
unless Havre shall reach out in due
time.
Now, Mr., Editor, as THE HERALD
takes an interest in all that means
prosperity to Havre and the sur
rounding country, we hope you will
keep agitating this matter of county
roads until something is accomplished
that will be of advantage all along
the line.

POSITIVELY PAINFUL.

TIE OASIS continues to harr on the supposition that Delegate Bull Andrews of New Mexico is against joint statehood These statements only serve to disl lay the ignorance of TIE OAsTs, as everyone who is posted on New Mex iean politics knows that Delegate Bull Andrews has never declared himself as opposed to jointure. We respectfully refer THE OASIS to thevote on tie Ham, ilton bill which will be cast at the com ing session of congress by the Pennsyl- yania house of representatives Every one who knows Bull Andrews knows of his boast that he will be the first senator from New Mexico, if that territory se- cures single statehood, or of Arizona if jointure prevails. Douglas Dispatch.
 It is positively painful to be compelled to call down so frequent ly the glaring misstatements of the esteemed contemporary at Dou- glas. Bull" Andrews does not control the Pennsylvania delega- tion in Congress, and their vote cuts no figure, with regard to his attitude. But 1t is we'll known in New Mexico that his position has been against jointure. He was nominated for Congress on that issue, and has stood always with Governor Otero and the anti-joint ure crowd.
 As for Mr. Andrews senatorial aspirations: It is we'll known that they were a potent influence in causing the late Senator Quay to strive 50 hard for the separate ad mission of New Mexico. The fail- ure of the admission project at that time, and Mr, Quay's death, have put different complexion on the matter.

CRIPPLE GETS
DOLLAR EASILY
Reooar Refuses to Return Coin Which
Accidentally Fell in
Hat.

An incident. which was witnessed
yesterday afternoon near the show
grounds. affords an example of the i'm
position of the crippled beggar on the
public. A cripple. who had both legs
amputated. was standing near the
street car tracks. at Eighteenth ave
nue.. A young man. apparently a farm
hand. stepped up TO the cripple, and
pulled from his pocket number of
pieces of money, intending To give the
man a nickel. In some way a dollar
slipped from his fingers and fell into
the beggar's extended hat. The young
farmer asked for the return of the dol
lar. saying that he intended and was
perfectly willing to give the fellow a
nickel. The beggar refused. saying
>Whatever gets into that hat belongs
TO me"
The farm hand, who appeared not TO
be possessed of any too much wealth,
argued and insisted on the return of
95 cents, and was subjected TO most
abusive TRADE from the cripple. Rather
than give anyone an excuse for saying
that he had taken any advantage of the
crippled mans condition, he made no
forcible effort to recover the money.
though had he cared to he could
readily have done so, for he was a
powerful man. He left the cripple
gloating over the incident, in posses
sion of the dollar. Such abuse as the
farm hand was subjected TO by the
cripple would have been almost suffi-
cient provocation for him to have chas-
tised the fellow. and undoubtedly his
condition was all that saved the Grip
pie from a severe thrashing.
Nine-tenths of these crippled impos-
tiers end up at the police station in a
drunken condition.
