Good Roads and Good Farm

Editor The lancaster News: |
wish to say more about good
roads aud good farming. Are
good roads worth having, aud
would they be beneficial to Ian.

we to get them? One fellow
said, men build them, and an
other said, money. Now ac-
cording to their theory, Ltncas-

think we have both men aud
money sufficient to build the
roads. | am frank to confess,
that our people have been dor
mant and slow along this line,
but they have recently awaken
ed to sense Of their duty and
have now commenced road work
and road building When our
Legislators reassemble | hope
they will perfect our road law
by making some amendments
to the present law. Isl, by en-
acting a provision to condemn a
road ri sht of way, and pay the
owner a reasonable sum for his
lands, because Of the fact in sur.
veying and locating the new

without giving the Engineer the
power to 60 where he can loca te
(and especially in the hiIly parts
of the county, the cheapest and
most permanent place for the
road bed, considering not too
great a per cent OF grades in order
that the traffic for all time may
travel over the roads with ease
and comfort, and a. the same time
hauling heavy loads. Now,
would suggest that when this
road law has been perfected and
our people get TO road work IN
earnest, that all roads should be
built of uniform width, except
roads leading directly from the
court house 10 other county seats,
which should be built of broad
gauge, and say three tracks, the
middle of stone, having a firm
earth track on either side.

PIONEER RENEW
ING OLD FRIENDS HERE

J. r. Witcher, one of the pioneers
dent of Canon City, is down from his
ranch. on the headwaters of Four
Mile creek, renewing old associations.
Mr. Witcher crossed the plains afoot
original settlers of Colorado.
When he first arrived in this state
there were only three or four log
cabins in Denver. Canon City being
considerably the larger of the two
communities at that time. and, but for
the civil war, would probably have
continued to be the metropolis of the
state. Mr.. Witcher engaged in the
cattle business soon after coming
here, and for forty years has follow
ed II with eminent success.
He lives under the shadow of Mt
Pisgah, five or six miles west Of Grip
pie Greek. and has made his hom"
there for many years. What is now
the Cripple Creek district was ORR
ginally a fine grazing section. but
the establishment of the great gold
camp ruined it for stock purposes.
Mr.. witcher says that the founding
Of the Cripple Creek mining industry
resulted in a loss to him Of $100. 900.
or, at least, he computes that he
could have made that much more out
of the cattle business If gold had new
er been discovered there.
He could have owned the site Of
the present city Of Cripple Creek at
one time by an outlay of few hun
dred dollars.
Mr.. and Mrs. Witcher will leave this
evening for Fayetteville, Arkansas.
where they will spend the remainder
of the winter with their son and fami-
ly
