other position in which a senator or
representative is directly interested.
The president, however, inquiries if
the appointment of the seeker is
really more necessary than the pub
lie business at hand, or If some work
on the tariff question Is not a sub
ject of more vital Importance to the
country at large than whether John
Jones shall have the appointment as
postmaster. The president is said
to do the thing very gently but the
senator or representative knows
when he is through that there is lit
tie hope Of landing his man until

he part of some Individual to do

the part of some Individual to do
sonnet ing.
The Commercial Committee, how
ever, has { ken UP the question of
good road in such a way as to per-
tend the very strong possibility OF
something being accomplished this
spring. 1t is a matter of dollars and
cents to the business interests to
have the roads fixed, and it takes a
matter of dollars and cents to fix
them. With that idea in view the
Commercial Committee has named a
! committee on good roads, Which con-
| sists of John Michels, j. II. Creigh-
ton and Robert Burns, and it will be
the business of these men to start a
subscription paper at once to secure
funds with which to go to work on
the roads leading into Mitchell.
That the money will be forthcom-
ing in abundance there is no ques-
tion, for we heard one business man
make the offer that he would give
$50 willingly to a fund for the pur-
pose of improving the roads. There
are others undoubtedly who will have
the same liberal spirit in this direct
ion.
Perhaps one of the worst pieces of
road is hat lying directly east on
First Avenue, that is the road itself
is not so bad as the prevalence Of SO
much water. G.. H. Krom, living
along hat road does a good deal of
individual work in front of his prop
F, erty, and his example is worthy of
emulation all over the county.
There is plenty to do in this line
of work and the need of ii was never
more apparent than right now.
1t is likely that a mass meeting OF
the citizens and farmers living
around Mitchell will be called to
meet az the city hall on Saturday,
April 3, to discuss this good reads
proposition and to try and form a
combination between the two which
! will result in a harmonious plan to
keep the roads in good condition
once they have been improved upon.

START ON GOOD ROADS
Committee to Solicit Funds From
Business Men to Aid in Making
the Roads Better.

Four or five weeks of impossible
roads leading to the city have shown
the absolute necessity of doing some
hing to relieve the fearful condition
that exists in about e direction.
Water standing over the roads. and
bridges practically impassable on ac-
count of the approaches covered with
water has appealed to the business
interests of the city. The business
men fully realized the situation, but
there was lacking the movement on
