PROGRESS IN
ROAD MAKING

When asked for information about
the work on the county roads this
morning, Judge Board told a re-
preventative of The Eagle that the
last piece of work to be completed
is the road to the Corporation bridge,
which was finished last week The
steam plow, scraper and roller are
now. on the road between the Brazos
and the Little Brazos, near Mudville
Next week the outfit will work back
on the Sandy Point road towards Bry-
an. After this is completed the ma
chinery will be sent to the northern
part of the country, where the Macy
road will be first on the program
This record shows very satisfactory
progress. II is the purpose OF the
county administration to keep 1t up
and as soon as possible to grade up
all the public roads. in the order of
their Importance as nearly as practic.
able.
In addition to the grading, the old
wooden culverts are being taken out
and new ones of corrugated iron put
in. This form of culvert is preferred
to cement because 1t is much less
expensive and will last for many
years.
The repair work on the Jones
bridge, which was damaged by the
flood two years ago. is nearly com,
pleted. The piers have been replaced
In their original upright position and
they have been reinforced by sub.
stantial Golfer dams built around the
bases. making them strong enough
II Is believed, to resist the attacks
of any flood that can ever come.
There has also been done some
much needed repair work at the Man.
ming crossing Of the Navosota river
on the Rogers Prairie road.
J There is perhaps not a taxpayer In
Brazos county who Is not satisfied
with the progress made In road work
since the road working machinery was
purchased.

INTERNATIONAL
BOUNDARY FENCE
IA Steer Tight Fence 1000 Miles Long
To be Built Between United
States and Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas. Aug. 22.-The
longest fence in the world and the
queerest artificial boundary establish
ed between two countries anywhere
will in the near future seperate the
United States and Mexico. Accord
ing to dispatch in the Mexico
record" final agreement to that
effect was drawn up between the two
governments and the fence will be
built in the very near future. II
will be constructed of stone posts,
possibly REINFORCED concrete, and
five-strand, steer-tight barbed wire. In
all places where the United States
government owns the land the fence
will be set up 20 meters or about so
yards to the north of the true boundry
line and where the ground Is owned
individually the fence will stand on
the exact border. Mounted Mexican
rurales will patrol the fence on the
south and United States rangers will
do the same on the north.
The immediate purpose of the fence
is to prevent cattle from the two
countries from straying into foreign
soil II will also be useful in the pre-
venton of infectious diseases among
cattle, especially the tick However.
the fence will have usefulness in
other directions. It will render
smuggling and the Illicit immigration
Iof Chinese and others into this country
more difficult than they are now.
About 1000 miles OF fence will have
to be erected.

morning that he was certain feeling
Of disappointment would be common
TO Democrats of influence through the

in that Of many others, that feeling

There was widespread criticism be-
cause the Democratic legislature Of
New York elected David =. IIlll
United States senator Today there
is no dissent from the opinion that
Mr.. lin revealed himself in the Sem
ate as the intellectual peer Of any
member Of the Senate and one Of the
great minds whose names are tradi-
tionally linked to the United States.
The practical politicians, on the
other hand, are convinced that the
election Of Mr.. Shechan will prove Of
as great advantage to the Democratic
party not only in this state but in
the nation, as the election Of Elihu
Root has been to the Republican par
ty william f. Sheehan is a master
politician, Probably more to him than
to any other man Of his party in
New York is due the skllful party
organization of last autumn, which
made the u mocratic triumph all the
easy to compass
Word from Maine says that It was
I'm large part due to the counsel given
to the democracy OF that state last
summer by Mr. Sheehan that the
party was organized there with such
system and efficiency as to make Il
able to take abundant advantage Of
the feeling Of dissatisfaction and un-
rest which had prevailed for year
or more.
There are many persons beyond the
borders Of New York state and not
few in New York. who identify
William z. Sheehan with Tammany
Han. That mistake IS undoubtedly
due to the fact that his brother, John
c. Sheehan. was Tor a brief period
leader Of Tammany Former Cover
nor Sheehan has never been in close
association with Tammany and In
the early part or his political career
as an upstate Democratic leader he
was frequently antugonIstic TO that
organization.
The first public report OF the prob
able election OF Mr., Shechan, in case
the New York legislature was Demo-
cratic, appeared In this column At
the time that report was published,
however Mr., Sheehon had not made
up mis- mind whether II would be eX-
pedient from the political point ot
view for him TO become a candidate.
Those who are familiar with the
kind of politics ot which Mr.. Shee-
han Is past master have felt that he
would not announce that he was n
candidate until he felt fairly certain
that ne could be elected. That an.
lnounoement has at last been made. II
undoubtedly reflects slsllful prear-
.rangement, And Il has been assumed
here that Mr.. shoehan would not
have said for publication that he was
a candidate unless he saw his way
with reasonable clearness 20 victory

bly, to contemplate the election of a
Democrat to the presidency. But If
the party Is TO triumph in 1912 there

this organization must be begun i'm
