Little Rock, Ark, Sept .25.- "Give us $2,OOO,OOOa year and w, can make as good roads here A, many they. have ln Cleveland" remarked Frank Nichols, county road and bridge commissioner yes terday afternoon after coming back from the National Good Roads Convention |. Why, saw roads theree which are not as good as we have in Arkansas and I know that we have built better ones in many places. l saw as- phalt pavements there which looked like Joe's sect they were so ragged. The government experts there spoke against asphalt pave ment. The thing which struck me was the cleanliness of the Cleve- land streets. A great deal of this was caused by the surplanting of horses by the automobile truck. Another thing which took my fan- cy was the interurban Railroads. This had also knocked out the horse a great deal in that section and the electric trains come into Cleveland loaded down with pro- duce from the truck gardens until they looked like bequests. Ark ansas ought to have few Of them saw potatoes being dug by ma chinery and wanted to stop and view it closer but I couldn't as the train was going too fast.

The Huck- ems House was also threatened and the cupola and a portion of the roof of the Y M c A bui ding caught fire. The cupola and the Alag pole on it were burned be- fore the firemen were able to reach that building and give it Eheir attention
 The Fouke building was valued at S2O,OOO and was insured at SlO GOO. The stock and machinery perhaps, were worth S12,0OO to 15.OOO and were insured for S4,- GOO. The damage to the Texas Produce Co.,, was about S2,OOO GOV cred by insurance.
