The ASSET OF GOOD ROADS.

docs it pay county to assume a
large Indebtedness in order to obtain
good roads," Is ques ton asked by
IRE Glasgow Times, and then the Times
proceeds 20 say that Padding county.
Ohio, answers, "Yes." with enthusi-
asm. The times then continues:
"Since 1882, Paulding county has been
issuing bond to raise money with which
to improve the highways. 1t was not,
however, until 1893. that the campaign
for good roads really started in the
county. The people wearied of the
half-hearted and almost futile attempts
to make road out of soil that once had
been the bed of swamp. There were
months when the roads could not be
complained of and other months when
the cautious farmer hesitated between
wagon and boat when he had to go
to market. Today the county has near
iy 500 miles of excellent macadam in
exchange for million-dollar debt.
Land in 1900 could be bought for s. an
acre. 1t climbed up to SIS by 1889
Now it sells around $50 Choice
land, which ia 1898 bought $50 an acre

now shows a valuation Of S7,34s, 900

ing, and crop returns have improved
tremendously There is demand for
farming property. Facilities for trans

Counties seeking population and
prosperity in competition with each
other, will, as in the case of cities,
have to offer fixed attractions. Prom

stronger magnet than will laid high
ways?'
Daviess county has not created big
debt in order to build permanent high
ways, and it has very few miles Of

GOOD ROADS
How to Get Them in Crittender
County.

Written for the Record-Press by one
who has travelled over the public roads
for twenty years-going on foot. horse
back. in sleds. wagons. buggies and
automobiles who worked for ten
years as hand on the roads.
The question of good roads has oceu-
pied the thoughts of great gatherings,
has been discussed by able men IN con-
gress and has agitated the minds Of
men all over the land All admit their
Importance to business and general
country locomotion.
Good roads promote morals-h how
many a poor fellow has, for a time. at
least. lost his religion on account Of
the mud-holes in our public roadsl- add
to the happiness and sociability of a
country, make life worth living and
double the value of property.
The question is, how to have good
roads in Crittenden county let the
rest of the world solve its own prob
lem. Let's work out our own saliva
tion-and also work out our public
roads.
Are good roads to be had here by
legislation? We have waited longs
not everybody "agin' the tax? Then
how will we get, all over our county,
the boon Of good roads?
The present system Of overseers is
defective the overseer is, of course,
o. X. but the law does not specify or
desi mate or promulgate any plan of
working. John Smith may be overseer
thia year and have his men dig and
open up the bitches all along the road
in his territory Next year Tom Jones
NAV be "appinted" overseer to sue

Immediately proceeds to edo some

Guests at Hotel Colorado have been
treated to number of surprises this
season by Manager Lucas who secured
six Teddy bears, two mute swan, two
Canada geese, four eastern ducks and
twenty-four Texas squirrels for the
parks and hotel court pool. The six
Teddy bears are by far the leading at
traction and the visitors are out bright
and early each morning to watch them
at play. The squirrels are given the
freedom of the parks and are fast be-
coming the pets of everyone.
Glenwood %, Fruita 3. That was part
Of the story when the lads from down
the valley came here for game. It
was more of farce, but the locals fa.-
tened their batting averages. Lally,
Anderson, Happy, Kirchman, sanduslsy
and all the rest got good clean hits and
slipped few two sackers and three
baggers over on the Fruita aggregation.
Manly, Miller and Sievers were picked
up here by the visitors.
Carl Sarver was made happy this
week when Adam and Eve arrived and
with them one of the neatest spring
wagons that ever came over the pike.
Adam and Eve are two mules furnish
ed the local telephone lineman for his
use by the Colorado Telephone company.
Carl devotes all his spare time in train
ing their hind legs to stand and says
his new team is gentle and the best
that ever came to Glenwood.
With Mazingo in the box for the
Ouray boys on Tuesday afternoon, the
locals won out by a score of some
thing like sixteen to three. The miners
could not field and before the game
was over three of them had stepped
on their own feet and were disabled
and had to quit. The managers of the
GlenwOod team were stung good and
hard, but there is some satisfaction in
knowing that Grand Junction was stung
by the same aggregation. Junction
won over the Ouray lads by scores of
twenty to one and twenty-four to four.
