mend the continuation of the appro-
priations.
Then these men from the southwest
ern states heard about something real
in the way of appropriations from Col.
W. ID. Schier, chairman of the Massa-
chusetts state highway commission.
They learned also that all the prod
ucts used in bitumen construction in
the east are coming from the western
states. Oklahoma and Texas should
abound in these natural oil products
used in the construction of the best
roads known to the science of road
building in the east. They learned
that the cost of these materials is
much lower in the west than it is, for
example, in Massachusetts. The Mas
sachusetts highway commission is
forced to pay from 80 to 40 per cent.
more than the same material can be
procured for in Oklahoma and Texas.
Col. Schier said in part:
A foundation is necessary for a
road good IL months in the year
Here in Massachusetts we appropriate
$2,500,000 in five-year terms, and
spend 100000 year. When we build
through townships they pay us back
% per cent. of our outlay.
We have spent $7,5OO,OOO dollars in
building state highways amounting to
a little less than 500 miles of road. We
spend $4,000 a year in towns of less
than million valuation, with no per
centage paid back. This road, where
the township asks for the money, is
constructed under the specifications of
the state highway commission.
The greatest necessity in road build
ing is to keep the roads in repair. We
must arrange for maintenance as well
as construction. This is where Massa-
chusetts is ahead of the other states.
Our materials are oil, sand and gravel.

Oklahoma, 1--WE have $4,000 acres of

The party concluded its trip through
Rhode Island by a 25-mile dash from
Narragansett Pier to Westerly in 40
minutes, giving practical demonstra-
tion of the value of good roads when
you desire to catch a train.

WOMEN ARE MORTIFIED
BY VISION or SNAKES
SAN FRANCISCO NATIONS MUCH
ALARMED BY STORIES OF
BOA CONSTRUCTOR.

San Francisco.-Boa constructors,
water snakes, gopher snakes, black
snakes, rattlesnakes. garter snakes
and dozen other varieties of the rep
tile family have been seen in and
about Parnassus Heights recently, IL
the historical stories related by saul
Ger eyed citizens of that section are
to be believed.
Rumor has it that king cobra was
killed at the end of Stanyan street,
and, further that rock python, meas
uring from four to 20 feet in length,
gave battle to an army of residents in
Woodland avenue and escaped into
Sutro forest after having Rugged
three men. The python was said to
be female.
Patient investigation, however, dis
closes that the rumors are somewhat
exaggerated, but that, like many ru-
mors, they have foundation in truth
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1909-11-12

A RATHER, carrying ten rattles and a
button, was killed in Sutro forest by
John Pedlina, after it had almost
frightened Mrs. l.. T. Cranz and her
daughter, who reside in Belmont av.
enue, into Mysteries.
Also two big blacksnakes, of a va
riety unknown to the sober citizens
of the district, have been encountered
and overcome in Stanyan street. Each
measured more than six feet in
length, as likewise can be proven by
communicating with AL Guyton, a car
penter, who has earned the title,
among residents of Parmassus
Heights, of the snake charmer." Guy
ton killed one of the reptiles, and
Snakes Miller, a plasterer, cap
tured and imprisoned the other.
Now, these three serpents were all
subdued within an area of less than
600 square feet and near the residence
of DIR. o. G. Joslen in Woodland av-
enue. The doctors neighbors say
that the monsters escaped from cap
tivity in his back yard, where they
were being held prisoners, but this
the medical man stoutly denies. His
wife insists that the last of their pets
died a year ago, and the doctor de-
clares they passed away some four
months ago. Both insist that no
snakes ever escaped from them, but
that all were gathered in by the grim
reaper.
However, the snakes have been en-
countered and slaughtered amid con-
siderable hysteria among the women
citizens, and not a few quakings
among the men.
