ABOUT PUBLIC ROADS.
Can Keep Roads in Better Or
der by Returning to the Old
Way-About Clay Roads.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
There is right much being said
in the papers about returning to
the old way of working the pub
lie roads. Now I want to saw
that to return to the old way
will move more mud and water
or keep the roads in better order
than they are now. You take the
Lumberton and Carthage road,
that has been clayed all the way
out for nearly five miles, and if
any man who passes over that
road don't say it is in the worst
shape for travel he ever saw it
at any time in the past twenty
five years, we will say no more
about clay roads. A clay road
should be gone over every eight
or ten days with something to
smooth it up, and then with the
right season in the ground.
When the road is too dry YOU
can't do it good with a road ma
chine, and when it's too wet you
can't do any. A clay road seems
to be better the second year af-
ter the clay is put on. Get the
water off, is what we want. Do
this and then level the road with
a little rise in the middle, with
the top of the earth not clay, and
you will do it with less expense
and have better roads. CLAW
roads have too much clay in wet
weather and too little in dry;
they cut all to pieces in wet
weather and break in dry.
Now plan out a way so when
the money is spent we will have
good roads. I have lived in Rob-
eson county all my life and have
been going to Lumberton nearly
every week and everybody knows
that this has been a good winter
on roads, and with about one
Wook's rain the roads are very
near impassable-I mean the clay
roads. Now tell how to make
good roads and we will do what
we can to help you to get bond
issue.
Yours truly,

Ketchikan has raised, by popular subscription. a sum of money suffi- cient to send representative of the town to the exposition, where he will be stationed during the fair, dissem. mating information about Ketchikan and the adjacent section. The same public spirited citizens have also raised the money for the printing of a pamphlet for free distribution at the fair. advertising the resources of the Ketchikan region.
 This is getting right down to busi' ness. It is a mighty good example Ketchikan is setting, but neither Ju. neau. Douglas. Haines or Skagway seem at all apt to follow it.-Juneau Transcript.

ALASKA FLAG DAY PROCLAMATION

The American Flag is universally recognized as the emblem of liberty and justice. Beneath it brave and loyal hearts beat with pride and de votion. To the oppressed t affords the inspiration of hope. To each of our citizens it guarantees individual liberty and protection to personal and property rights. The fire of patriot ism never burned more brightly than today. It is. therefore. eminently pro Der that We unitedly show our regard for the Stars and Stripes, our love fo our common country, and commence rate the birthday of the Flag on the date of its adoption by Congress, June I4th, l777.
 An approved custom abides of ap- pointing a day upon which the Flag is displayed on public buildings, pri, vatc residences and business houses. In accord with this commendable GUS tom. |. William L. Distin. Acting Gov crnor of Alaska. do hereby designate Monday June l4th. A. D. 1909 as FLAG DAY and heartily recommend general display of old Glory through ou: the day. Let it appear in eyi, dencc everywhere. over church and school.house. factory and dwelling public and private building, and at the mast head. Illustrating our faith in all it represents. Let the rising sun os June I4th be greeted with saluta- ton of artillery. the ringing of bells. the lowing of whistles of all kinds on land and water, and the day be hailed with acclaim and joy.
 Let every loyal citizen contribute to in he display of the Flag his testi- mony that he stands for honor, purity and obedience to law.
 Lc- every man. woman and child pledge their faith in the purposes the Flag represents and wear token of ,he'- liberty in modest, but certain bow or roSctte attached to their dress Lessons of patriotism will not be lost in recognition of this memorable day. The lawless will recognize the representation of authority, and the budding spirit of patriotism in youth full hearts will be expanded into de termination to oppose a foreign or domestic foe.
 In testimony whereof. have here into set my hand and caused the Great Seal of Alaska to be affixed, at Juneau. the Capital. this Twenty-sev- .uth day of May. A. D. 1909.
