WIFI ROADS

Anyone who has had occasion within the past two days to travel the road in question, can testify that it was flooded. lt -esembled a lake more than it did a road For a time there was some doubt as to who was directly responsible for the condi- tion, but after investigation it seemed pretty certain that Mir. fiugnes was the man. The result of the filing of the complaint will be watched with in terest for within the past few weeks there have been more wet roads than there has been any reason for and there would probably have been other arrests had other road Overseers been very active in the discharge of their duty.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Space will not permit of the publication of all their remarks but more will be given tomorrow.
 J. B. Cook, superintendent of the Pa cific Creamery company's factory, No. ?, of this place, is almost an enthusi- asst on the subject of special editions. He has seen the results in southern California where it is generally admit ted that the great growth of the coun- try is largely the result of special edi- tions of the great California dailies. Asked yesterday for his opinion of The Republicans special, he said:
 The special edition of The Republi can of April 1st, is certainly a very commendable one-and why should it not be? There is no locality in the United States possessed of greater nat uraI resources than this. upon which to base data for great publication. The Salt river valley with it's extremely rich soil and its abundant supply of irri- gating water, forever assured by the now nearly completed Roosevelt dam. is capable of producing almost an un- limited amount of agricultural pro- ducts. We should have more frequent editions of tJis character by all of the newspapers of the valley, to be sent broadcast throughout the country to let the people know of our wonderful re- sources and our achievements, and we
