THE MOVEMENT
FOR GOOD ROADS

While there is little complaint
about the condition of roads as a
general thing in Barton county.
there are yet some roads that
greatly need improvement. The
following from the Ellsworth
Messenger may be of interest on
the subject:
Mr.. King, the good roads man,
lectured in Manhattan on Good
Roads, recently. His talk in be-
half of good roads has resulted in
arousing the Commercial club of
that city to action. At a meeting
of the club held soon after Mr..
Kings visit to the city various
schemes were discussed with a
view to creating an interest in
good roads. The result was that
the club offers the following
prizes:
Fifty dollars $4,000 in
gold for the best mile of road
made with a King Road Drag"
within seven miles of Manhattan.
2.-Twenty-fve dollars in gold
for the second best mile of road
made with a King Road Drag"
within seven miles of Manhattan.
3.-Ten dollars in gold for the
best one-half mile of road made
with a King Road Drag on
each rural route leading from
Manhattan.
Alive dollars in gold for the
second best one-half mile of road
made with a King Road Drag"
on each rural route leading from
Manhattan.
5.-No piece of road to take
more than one prize.
6.-No prize-taking piece of
road to be eligible for the same or
a lower prize the second year.
7.-CompetitorS to furnish their
own drags.
S.-The Commercial club to
select the Judges of the contest;
said Judges to be three absolutely
disinterested parties.
9.-The Judging Of the roads to
be done at some time between
April Is and May 10, 1906.
An effort is being made to get
Mr., King to come to Ellsworth
for a lecture the early part of
next month. The undertaking is
meeting with encouragement, as
it should. The movement in be-
half of good roads has been in pro-
gress all over the east for a num-
Der of years. The one reason
that it has been slow in reaching
Kansas is probably to be found in
the fact that we naturally have
such good roads here that little
attention is given to making them
better.
Mr.. Kings method of making
good roads, however, is so practi-
cal and inexpensive that no COM
munity can afford to be without
the advantages derived from his
system. The whole question OF
good roads depend almost entirely
upon the proper use of a drag,
the King Drag" This drag
can be constructed for a few dol
lars, and as Mr.. King has nc
patent, copyright or other string
on the drag, any one is privileged
to make and use one,

less present signs are misleading the
spring meeting of the Western Jock
ey Club, which opened with the Ben
ming Spring handicap at Benning
race course today, will be the most
successful in the history of that pop
ular track. There are over three
hundred well known horses quar-.
tered at the track and many promi-
nent stables are represented.
Racing interest throughout the
country is centered on the Benning
meet because many of the horses are
fresh from a winters rest, and this
will be the first opportunity they will
have to show their form for the COM
ing season. For the past week the
owners, trainers and "tipsters" have
been busy at the track sizing up the
sprinters in the practice work. The
track is in splendid condition, and
some of the flyers have been working
over the mile course in 1:46 and six
furlongs in LII.
