UP TO THE CITY.
West Sixth Avenue Road VIII Be I'M
proved #

The county commissioners in regular
meeting today checked the long con-
tinued matter of the West Sixth avenue
road up to the city council, voting to
present their proposition to the council
tonight which is to the effect that they
will pay for the resurfacing and oihng
Of the highway provided the city VIII
stand its proportion of the expense
When Prof. Albert Dickens of the
Kansas State Agricultural college Of
fered to oil the road free OF charge,
bringing machinery from the college
and using a special oil product which
the county was to pay for, he reported
to the commissioners that the macad-
am would require re-sufacing before he
could make a satisfactory test of his
process Of oiHng.
Residents along the way were anx-
ious for the road improvement and
urged the commissioners to go ahead
with the work but it appeared to be of
too great expense to consider at the
time and the matter was dropped.
Meanwhile a Mr.. Smell of Kansas City,
representing the Standard Oil company,
made a proposition to do the oiling.
Today the matter came up before the
commissioners again and representa-
tive property owners along the route
Influenced the board to submit a pro-
position to the city council whereby
each would have their end of the road
re-surfaced and furnish the materials
for the test oiling of the Agricultural
college The city has four blocks of
the macadam within the corporation.

These are the days that the teIe-
phone girls have a hard time. 1t is
no joke to sit with a receiver clamped

not answered within a half second
from the time it is given. This is the
time of the year to show courtesy and
forbearance.

An attempt is being made to force

NEW BRIDGE AT HIGHLAND.
Commissioners Will Readvertise -
Other Bids Too High.

The board of county commissioners
will readvertise for bids for the con-
struction of a bridge across Camp
creek at Rich1and. All the bids re-
mark set for the cost, $4,000.
Specifications call for a steel struc-
ture of sufficient strength to support
a concrete floor. All bids were in &C
cordance except one from the Leaven-
worth Bridge company, which submit
ted a bid for a bridge with plank
floor. This bid might have been &C
cepted had the commissioners been
satisfied that it was strong enough for
concrete floor. Commissioner ]. c..
Sinner sought an expert engineer
to pass judgment upon the plans and
finally they were submitted to V. r.
Parkhurst, who reported to the board
this morning that he considered the
bridge too light to stand the strain of
traffic if it were weighted with a con-
crete floor.

Forest Survey OF Cecil County.

The State Board of Forestry is now en-
gagged in forest survey of Cecil county
for the purpose of investigating the extent
'and condition of the woodlands. This is
I'm line with the work that has been in
progress for the past three years and
which has extended over three-fourths of
the State. The results of this survey will
be published in the form of report upon
the forest resources and conditions of the
county, and with suggestions as to the
methods of forest management. The re-
port will be accompanied by forest map
locating each wooded area and indicating
in a general way its character and con-
dition. While this work is in progress
the State Forester, Mr.. F, w. Besley, will
be prepared to examine the woodlands of
any landowner in the county and on re-
quest give advice as to their management.
This work is done under the cooperative
arrangements between the State and the
landowners and is without charge. The
aim is to stimulate practical forestry by
means of such object lessons which will
show in convincing way what practical
forestry is, and what it will accomplish.
Any one who wants the advice of the
State Forester should address him at
Baltimore, Maryland.

Horses Brighten At Munsey Cars

{ The horse attached to the rural delivery
mail wagon on route, No. 2, driven by
assistant carrier Miss Bertha Morrison,
became frightened as two Of the Munsey
tour cars passed it, near the Mearns
place, and ran the wagon on the bank at
the roadside. The seat collapsed, throw
ing the carrier violently against the side
of the wagon and breaking window.
She pluckily retained hold of the lines
and succeeded in controlling the horse,
which attempted to run.
DR.. G. S. Dare and daughter also had
an unpleasant experience, when they met
the big auto-car onsPigeon hill, their horse
becoming frightened and plunging to such
an extent as to get one shaft under it.
The animal was held under control and
with the assistance of those in the auto
car matters were soon straighteneds out,
the damage being trifiing.
