GLADDEN. TELLS ABOUT MEXICO

we dismounted and in walking over
them were inclined to lean toward
the wall.
We arrived in the first orange
growing section Sunday morning,
Dec. .. where we had our first feast
of Mexican oranges. We encounter
ed in this valley our first holdup by
native sat the crossing point OF the
Katamania river, which was very
much swollen from recent rains. The
natives would not show us the ford
way. They offered to set us over
dry for SO each Mexican money.
They caused our NIazo (Indian pilot)
to turn traitor. who refused to lead
the way across the water. We de-
cided to unrobe ourselves, put our
clothes on the rear of the saddles
and pull for the shore" which we
did in safety to all. thus outwitting
the natives. The most humf1iatinE
thing to do was for one Of our party
to return with an extra mule for our
Benedict Arnold Indian. We had
to succumb, however, for he alone
knew the way to our objective point.
Sunday night we shared the hos
pitaIity of Jaun Cruz, who lives at
sepaIno. He is n native Of the best
class and very wealthy. To our In
terpreter he told that his porch dog
and orange grove were at our COM
mand and that he wished our party
to have a cup of coffee with him and
his wife. which the coffee drinkers
OF our party say was a genuine treat.
After leaving the stage route we
find all natives sleep on the dirt
floor of their houses. We have had
to sleep out on porch floors, since
we left Ocampo. notwithstanding
the hardships of ont trail route, our
party remains in good spirits. Mon
day noon we arrived at Battapillas,
where we failed to find anything to
eat for man and beast, except UNI
pedIgreed meat. which has Just been
put on line today. We bought a few
pounds of the meat and continued
our route until we had mountain
grazing for our burros. Here we
dIsmounted and broiled out unpedi-
greed meat and thought Of the hne
steers in the States. Our next point
to reach was Arechuyva, very nice
level plateau of land. of which so
little is seen on our route. We
made this point one hour after dark
in the rain, had to depend solely on
the mules to pilot the way 50 dark
was the night. Fortunately, the
above town was the native home OF
our burros, which kept UP chorus
Of braying over the last five miles
AT that town we shared the porch
floor of victorano Saw. who Is
wealthy native. His request on our
arrival was that we have cup OF
coffee with him. He has one son

Public ROLL Commissioner.

The good roads question is one
that has many interesting features
ana phases. There is not as yet in
the agitation any special or peculiar
idea advanced. About all that has
been said Is something in general,
that is to say. there ought to be
good roads and to get them there
ought to be Legislation on the sub
ject-
However, though nothing definite
has been advanced the Telegram a
day or so ago made the suggestion
that good roads commission
should be created by the coming
legislature. and that that commits
sion. like the state tax commission.
should make an exhaustive and
thorough examination Of the sub
ject and report upon the same with
recommendations to be sub
mitted to the next or special ses-
sion of the legislature. through the
Office OF the governor. That such
omission ought to he created for
the purposes herein expressed. there
can be no question. But, need we
stop there for the present? May
1t not he we'll to take up the idea of
making the question one largely of
state? In other words. the thought
comes that the roads In the State
could he brought under a system
somewhat similar to the public
school system of West Virginia.
That would necessitate the creation
of a state office to be known as the
Office of public road commissioner,
with county commissioners and road
surveyors. Possibly. the county
commissioners of roads might well
he the county courts.
There could be provided a general
state fund for roads the same as we
have for the schools. which together
with local funds for the purpose,
would certainly If properly expend-
ed. bring about vast Improvement
and uniformity of public highways
or course. the district road levies
should not be dispensed with alto
gether. hut may remain like the dis
trict school funds. But beyond this
IT does not appear unfair to ask for
a general road fund. Every one de-
rives benefits from the roads City
residents travel them and are profit
ed in many ways by their existence
The same is true of the country
people. In fact, the roads are for
the benefit not for the people of any
pnrtfcuIar district or community
alone. but for all the districts and
communities. 1t seems then they
onght all collectively to contribute
to the expense of improving the
roads and building new ones.
These are some of the more
prominent features of the good
roads question. They suffice for the
present to awaken interest along this
line. and 1t is not necessary at this
tuncture to point out other features
such as proper width of the high
ways. their character, drainage and
the like. as those can be fully de-
cided upon after the legislature
has determined upon and adopted
plan or system for the establish
ment OF good roads In West Virginia.

Deceased is survived by widow

from whose residence, 1902 North

held, on Friday afternoon, Feb. %
