GOOD ROADS TALK BY
COL. M'CLINTOCK
A Suggestion That the Office of coun-
ty Road Superintendent Be Revived.

Colonel McClintock from time to
time furnishes TO the public a great
many news items of local interest
hut il is seldom that ne seeks publici-
ty on his own account or cares to be
quoted Yesterday however. he said
he really wanted to be interviewed for
ne had something on his mind he
thought would be of interest to the
general public. Up in Yavapai coun--
y there is just now notable move
ment for good roads and the people
are organizing TO secure them. 1t was
consideration Of that project that set
the colonel TO thinking about the roads
in this county. As postmaster he is
more concerned than most people,
even the farmers who live out in the
country. for about u hundred miles per
day is Travelled by the rural route car
riers from the Phoenix office and for
whose conduct the Phoenix postmaster
is in a measure responsible. About
seventy-five miles a day is also trav-
eled by the south side carriers. Good
rural service depends a great deal on
good roads. hence the colonel's convic-
ton that he is justified in making a
suggestion.
1t needs no argument to prove that
there is a very small mileage Of coun-
try roads in this county that are what
they ought to be. Notwithstanding
thousands Of dollars are spent annu-
ally in road work. The coloners cri-
ticism is not d complaint. for he says
that his carriers report TO him almost
daily. the bad places in the roads and
the worst complaints are passed along
TO the board of supervisors. which in
every case corrects the trouble inme-
diately. But this work is necessarily
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1908-06-10

| fragmentary and the next week new
break may occur alongside of a bad
, one fixed the week before The trou-
| BILE with the roads is chronic and not
sporadic. None, or very few Of them
are constructed properly to begin with
and nothing stays fixed when it is re-
paired.
The coloners criticism though, is a
suggestion that the old office of coun-
~ road superintendent, provided for
by the law, tried once and discarded
for the time, be revived. having in
mind the idea that this office can now
be made a more practicable one than
it ever could have been before. He
suggests that after the office is re-
vived, Engineer Howard Reed of the
reclamation service. who has charge
of the canal distributing system, be
named as the superintendent of roads
That is not merely to make a place
for Mr.. Reed. who already has about
all the job one man really Graves, but
he is named because Of his fitness for
the office, and should he be transferred
from his present position his success
sor whoever he might be. would no
doubt be equally as capable.
1t is undeniable that the perfection
of the county road system is very
closely dependent upon the irrigating
ditch system. Unless the latter is
about right the former cannot be and
unless the roads are looked after by a
competent man they might not be any
way The theory is that one man
should be in charge of both systems.
The director of the canal system wheth-
eT it be Mr. Reed or some one else. is
necessarily well informed on the road
grades. crossings. lateral bitches etc
Mr.. Reed IS especially mentioned in
this connection because he has been in
charge during the reconstruction of
the canal system and has greatly i'm
proved the roads incidentally, by elm
mating many useless bitches In
some places he has made one good
ditch serve the purpose Of a half dozen
or more very poor ones. II the same

RATE REDUCTION
ON NEEDED PRODUCT
A Cut of 10 Cents Per Hundred on
Cement Will Be Effective in Thirty
five Days.

Announcement Of a very important
rate reduction on cement from Calf
ornia. Colorado and Kansas points to
Phoenix, was made yesterday b. both
railroads entering this city. Except in
the instance Of the Colorad" points the
reduction amounts TO a level cut Of 10
cents per hundred. and meaning ap-
proximately SO to 40 cents less per
barrel. a barrel weighing about 3S4
rounds.
The movement for the reduced rate
was largely due to the active Woik Of
the reclamation service. and Engineer
+. c. Hill who realized the value Of
permanent headgates. greater cOnser-
vation Of water by cemented bitches.
etc. to all OF which a lesser rate on
cement was an important item in the
cost Of construction.
The matter was token under adsiv-
ment some montf& ago. and the
traffic agents of the railroad COM
panies viewed the rate in The same
light and willingly made the conces-
sion.
The rate in consequence. from
Southern California will be 40 cents
per hundred. 1t was formerly so
cents. From Northern California the
new rate win be 50 cents as against
the Old rate of 60 cents: from Colorado
so cents. the old being sly cents;
from Kansas 57A cents the old rate
being 671k cents.
There are big cement mills at Col
ton in Southern Cayifornia, while most
Of the cement shipped into the Salt
River valley from Colorado, comes
from Portland. Colo. The cement
from different points have various
qualities. some cement men being fav-
orable to the use of one kind over
another. A great amount was shipped
last year from Portland. Colorado.
Inquiry into the figures revealed
that upward of hundred cars came
into the valley during 1907 and would
probably have been much greater. but
for the financial troubles which came
on at a time when a great amount of
building had been already proposed in
Phoenix, where conditions were much
better than elsewhere throughout the
near-panic. With the revival of build
ing everywhere and an improved mon
ey situation. the call for cement in
Phoenix will steadily increase The
reduction is therefore a most timely
concession and is calculated to act as
a stimulus to building operations. and
an encouragement to investors in
property.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1908-06-10

THE Iessened cost of cement should
also have the effect of encouraging
concreting Of irrigating bitches. With
the perfection of the valleys water
service the farmers are certain to
realize that cemented bitches are a
good investment. The announcement
will be Of interest also to users of ce-
ment for all kinds Of concrete con-
struction, sidewalks. foundations etc.
The rate will be effective as soon as
published. or within about 80 days, the
time required under the interstate
commerce act.

OLD TIMER.

In answer to Amelia, G.. H., Ny
Dear Virginia Reader, must try
and answer your most kind and
laughable letter. j must begin at
first part and go down so az to not
miss anything. Now you say the
boys chased a deer as far as Isaac
Mobiles farm, expect it was
Isaac's dear girls, and that they
was aiming for night to overcome
them, by the time they arrived
there, so ! will look for the tur-
keys and not the deer as am
afraid that would be like snipe
hunting.
l told you that we all have had
the grippe, and if it had lasted
much longer at Icy Slope, / would
certainly had to have been weather
boarded, SO l could have been able to
set up and notice things by the
time those turkeys arrived here.
Now you speak of going fish
ing; 1T is March and no signs of
worms for bate, and if you go be-
fore i do you can catch fish for me
too. When you thro out all the half
bushels you want just thro out
another one for the poor fellow on
Icy Slope, place them in box and
sprinkle salt upon their tails to
prevent them from spelling, and
send them to Logan q. o. ID.
You said you set out onions Jan.
II, and that they were peering
through the ground, ] set mine
out in Nov, and / haven't seen or
heard anything from them yet.
Now l have been slightly ac-
quainted with you some 90 odd
years, and this is the first time we
have peen separated at such dis
tance, ] thank you for the invita-
tion to supper some evening, but
would much rather happen in at
dinner time, so | could have a
chance to look around, and see old
Virginia. Now you must not go
up side-down or in-side-out if we
should drop down at your door, in
an airship, singing, amid the green
fields of Virginia.
Now | must not detain you 80
long, will close hoping to hear
from you in the near future, yours
truly, Nor A STRANGER.
