spray of orange blossoms. n
After congratulations the wedding
party were invited to the dinning
room where every thing. that could de-
light the appetite was served.

the Dolores schools. She was an ac-
tive worker in the Sunday school and
church and will be greatly missed by
the members of these organizations.

Last October garnishee summons
was served upon Akin Bros. in case
|-,h the Durango County Courts against
The Dolores Mercantile Company.
Through failure to properly sign the
answers of the garnishees, a default
was entered against Akin Bros. and
evidence introduced to prove liability
against them when, as matter of fact,
they owed nothing to The Dolores
Mercantile Company. The matter
was placed in the hands of Attorney
Howard and has been satisfactorily
settled up.

SYSTEM OF GOOD ROADS.

Having restored the inscription,
In God We Trust to the coin of
his country and planted the flag at
the top of the tallest peak at the
north pole, Congressman Morris
Sheppard has returned to the earth
as an advocate of good roads. And
now Morris and the Times Herald
are pulling together again. Really
in the building of roads, Texas Is far
behind the procession of states and
Texans should get busy without de-
lay. Dallas, Harris and Bexar led
Off, but road building hasn't fairly
begun. THE third basic need of the
state is a system of good roads; the
present system of road improvement
is in the main that which prevailed
against the system of century ago;
says Congressman Sheppard. 1T Is
relic of feudalism; it puts upon the
farmer the burden of working the
roads which exist for the use and
DSHtHl Vi INC pSoplC IhC IShSiioh
farmer rose in righteous rebellion
against the system of a century ago;
the cost was shifted from the farmer
to the community where it belonged
and a system of road building began
in England that has signified more
for England progress than any other
material agency. But the Texas far
mer for generation after generation
has contributed without complaint
his time, his labor and his money at
the call of the local overseer until
| the iniquity and the inefficiency of
the system have aroused a general
demand for justice and reform. AL
| though uncounted sums in labor.
| time and money have been expend-
! ed on our roads, they are in general
as poor today as they were fifty
years ago" Editor Thompson of the
Denison Daily Herald has been push

| the Texas farmer some wholesome
! truths and the Texas farmer should
profit thereby. Times Her

SIDEWALKS IN SAN ANTONIO
People in That City Spend $4,000
in One Year

The San Antonio Light says:
timated that Ia miles of cement
sidewalks have been laid in San An
tonic within the last year. This is
tremendous accomplishment when
one considers that the building of
sidewalks prior to that time was Of
rare occurrence.
Agitation, interest on the part of
contractors, real estate men. the eff
forts of the city administration and
the Business Mems club and other
agencies have all combined to snlr
on the work of this much needed
improvement in San Antonio, until
there are now half a dozen firms
that are kept busy all the time filling
orders for sidewalks.
The average cost of cement side
walks during the last year has been
about Is cents a square foot or 60
cents a running foot for four foot
sidewalks, the usual width. This
means that nearly $4,000 has been
invested in sidewalks by the citizens
of San Antonio in the last year.
The sidewalk building has been
confined to no one section of the city
and all sections have benefited In
the main a good quality of walk has
been laid, although some very cheap
work has been done that has not
stood the test.
The school board has been a po-
tent influence in promoting side
walks. 1t has built walks around
many of the public schools and has,
wherever possible, in conjunction
with members of the city council,
induced citizens owning property
near schools to do the same.
1t is probable that during the
coming year many more. miles of
walks will be laid than during last
year. Every piece of sidewalk laid is
missionary that soon results in
others in the same neighborhood.
Citizens are coming more and more
to realize that a sidewalk is a good
investment and that it always adds
more than it's cost to the value of
AUDITING property.

CONCRETE BRIDGES AND ROADS

Recognizing the fact that good
state or community is to progress
Pennsylvania has enacted laws de-
signed to promote highway improve
ment by providing appropriations for
work of that character. In developing
the good roads movement the high
way department found that concrete
had become an exceedingly import
ant factor, owing to its great econo-
my and durability says Cement Age,
New York. This has been shown by
practical experience and observation,
and matters have reached the point
where the state has deemed it neces-
sary to provide plans and specifica-
lions for drains, culverts and brid-
ges. The plans are prepared by COM
petent engineers in order that con-
gently and economically. Good re-
suits are certain to follow this poll
cy 1t will mean the Standardization
of important work heretofore con-
Quoted on the hit or miss plan. 1t
was a difficult matter for the con-
tractor to build concrete bridges
without previous experience and he.
was forced to bid high in order that
he might provide for every contin-
gency, the result being, in some
cases, prohibitive figures SO far as
concrete was concerned. Now, how.
ever, the whole matter has become
simplified, and concrete will un-
doubtedly become the favorite ma
terial in every class of road work re-
quiring the use of masonry or iron
and terra Gotta piping. This will
mean better work and cheaper work
than has been the result in the past.
Steel bridges are rapidly becoming
thing of the past in Indiana. The
earliest steel bridges were built in
the early SOS, and as the life of a
steel bridge does not usually exceed
twenty live Oh thirty yedlS uhuCA
conditions of highway traffic. it is
apparent that the time is soon COM
ing when the earliest of the steel
bridges will have collapsed under
some unusual load of steam road
roller or traction engine. The num-
Der of such failures is becoming
alarmingly frequent.
Many counties of Indiana have
discontinued the building of steel
bridges and are now building of re-
inforced concrete instead, because of
the performance of this type of con-
struction and its freedom from re-
pairs. Reinforced concrete bridges
have many advantages such as alb
solute permanence, handsome APP
pearance, gravelled roadway, and
| freedom from flood renewals. Wa
bash county, Indiana built its first
/ concrete bridges in 1902, and since
that time has built upwards of 100
arches up to S0-foot span. Since
1903 no steel bridges have been
built in that county
