GOOD ROADS LAW SUSTAINED

0OoO u0AOS LAW SOSt AttNGC
The Supreme Court on Monda,
handed down a decision in which
the Good Roads law was held tt
be constitutional and properly
passed by the legislature and
that all of the proceedings under
the direction of the Board OF
Supervisors were in conformity
with the Act.
This law was drafted for the
purpose of covering some of the
defects of our road laws and tc
give to progressive communities
a statute by which they could
issue bonds in separate super
visors districts and build roads
with funds thus secured.
The law was introduced BY
Senator w. D. Anderson, AMI is
known as the Anderson bill.
The public is familiar with the
proceedings in this District, the
petition before the Board OF
Supervisors, the election and the
result, and the letting of the
contract. The question as tc
whether the contractor still de.
sires to do the work will be de.
termined in a few days.
The building of these roads
will add many thousands of bales
of cotton to Tupelo's receipts
from wagons, and also many
thousands of dollars to her retail.
trade. The people in the country
will find their property greatly
enhanced in value and the con
veniences and advantages vii
more than offset the small ad
ditional cost in building arc
maintaining the roads.

There will be a strike vote
taken on the questions involved
in the fight which has been 60
ing on between the railroads of
the west and the Brotherhood
of Locomotive engineers, the
propositions submitted by the
engineers having been turned
down by the railroads. Twenty
six roads are involved, including
all the roads leading west from
Clicayo and the Illinois Central.
Should the vote be in favor of a
strike the grand officers of the
brotherhood will order the strike
and every cab of every engine
on the roads will be deserted i'm.
mediately by the engineers.
There has always been more
friction between the manage
ment and the engineers Of the
railroads than any other class of
railroad men. The Brotherhood
is composed Of men of high
character and superior inte.-
ligence and has managed to get
its demands without strikes.
Should a strike come, however,
the roads will find that it will be
a losing game to tie up the bust
ness Of the country and the
strike will soon end.

are II washing machines in it. They
look like enormous rattle boxes.
There are six revolving dryers and 20
racks that run in between steam pipes
which look like a big core oven when
in place. There are three rows OF iron
ing boards, each row containing 40
irons. Electric irons are used. The
work is done by colored girls and
there were at least 200 of them work
ing there. The work of course is in
charge of white people. They take
care of all the laundry work for the
railroad, the steamships and the en-
ployes.
Most of the houses here are two
stories in height and are occupied gen.
orally by two families. A twostory
porch runs around the entire house
1t is screened with copper screening.
Galvanized corrugated sheet iron IS
used for roofing because of the heavy
rainfall. There are no cellars. The
houses are built on piers. No glass
or plaster is used The blinds and
windows are all of wood
I'VE have a fine view from our quar-
tiers. We are staying at the third
house from the end of Palm avenue
There is water on three sides of us
and our location commands view
OF the entire harbor. The docks OF
the Panama railroad steamships are
just in back of our house. 1t is here
that the United States transport Dixie

were transferred to the Panama cars
and taken to the Pacific ocean on their
way to Nicaragua. Shortly after the
landing of the marines from the Dixie
700 more were landed from the cruiser

days and drilled right in front of our
house. They were a fine looking lot
OF men. After short stay here they,
too, were taken to Nicaragua.

ct would make any junk dealer sick
to see the old French machinery which
has been abandoned and is lying along
the banks of the canal There are
steam dredges. cranes, lighters, barges
and old French dump cars. 1 think
most Of this will never be moved, as
they are filling this place in. l also
saw a lot of cast iron, 1ange pipe, 20
feet in diameter, 5R feet long and
Ia inches thick. They would weigh
between four and five tons, and there
must have been over 1000 of them.
There is more old iron here than
ever saw before at one time.
ct took a trip up the canal a few
days ago to Gatun, where they are
building three high locks. They have
cut through a knoll 100 feet high and
more than mile long. The cut is be
tween 800 and 900 feet in width. There
will be three steps on either side with
a heavy concrete wall between them
so that ship may go down while the
other is going up. Each step is to be
500 feet in length and 10 feet in width.
Each step is to have a dip of nine feet
four inches. or for all three steps a
dip of 20 feet. This is the father of
all concrete jobs and all honor to the
men who conceived II. They have an
easy way Of handling material with
electric cars and travelling towers On
each side OF the cut. with wire cables
stretched across from tower TO tower.
On these cables they run out the
buckets of concrete and lower them
into any position. They are now using
all the way from 1900 to 1000 yards
of concrete per day.
THE dividing line between Colon
and Christobal is a street. was say
ing that there are no stores in Chris

Every third place is a saloon. All Of
