ED. EA5LE: | notice in re-
cent issr1 OF your PAGER a sug-
geolion that we have about five
miles OF model road. This is a
timely suggestian. ThFa model
road would do more in my judg-
ment at present to encourage
good road building in this COT n
y than nest anything. 1t c.
ours to me that the road should
be built upon the best avaiial lie
ground and at the same time &C.
commodate the greatest number
OF people; that being true do
not think Of a better section of
road than the Oxford and Rocky
Ford road, il there is one that
would serve this purpose would
be glad to hear from any one
The point il to get a first class
road, road that will stay in good
condition when fixed all the time.
The supervisors have the right
to cut out out any section of road
from any contractor and my idea
is is that they should do this and
get some competent road builder
to see that an up-to- date road is
made. These roads now cost
almost forty dollars per mile and
the county, | feel sure. would
add something more to this, and
the people of the town working
in connection with those who will
get the most benefit OF the road,
and other enterprisinS citizens,
can by reasonable subscription
get together enough money t.
make "A decent driveway.
1t will serve the people who
travel this way for business and
also those who like a good road
for driving purposes.
! Many OF our people never saw
n real good road in this state
such a thing would be revela
ton; the time has come when We
must have good roads and We
need always n model to go by.
Now, therefore, upon condi-
ton that this road be put dowr
in first-class form and that the
same be maintained in gcod con-
diti0n my brothers and will do,
nate to this enterprise fifty dol.

donate. Let's see what we car
do about this.

GOOD ROADS.

From time TO time We call at
tentiun to the roads. Just now
the harvest season is almost here;
We need good roads. In order to
yet these We need the bad pla-
ces' fixed now; fix them in good
substantial style while it il dry
and when good materials can be
placed u best advantage. X Is
too late to fix a mud hole when
1t Is a foot deep under water and
mud. And as every one well
knows, when the mud hole is re-
paired and a good road bed is
made remember that there must
be good drains with ample out
lets or else the water will stand
and ruin all the work. Get the
point that no road Is Of much
value in this state unless fully
and completely drained; that is
imperative. No use to build
roads without this precaution.
Let the road commissioner and
the contractors and every citizen
help do this.
There has been much COM
plant, and justly so from many
quarters that the contractors are
not doing their duty; they should
do that, they are under contract
and under bond and they must
be made to do their duty, but. at
the same time, let US remember
that they are but men, the rains
come and many adverse things
happen to them just like it would
to you; they must have a fair
show. Every citizen should lend
helping hand; give them the
benefit of the nature of the soil.
the amount of drainage necessa-
ryand all the helpful ideas you
can as to how to do these things
and don't knock unless Won
have good cause. Ii your con-
tractor is not doing his duty pre-
sent petition or come in person
to the Board OF Supervisors and
have them look after this; 90 at
1t in a business way. Another
thing is don't give any trouble
about paying your tax or giving
your work; be a help to the con-
tractor and to the officers or don't
do anything to hinder. Good
roads should interest every man.
The reason why We can't sell
our lands to-day is simply ke-
cause if you were ever to get a
prospective buyer ten miles out
IN the country he would be so
worn out and disguised when he
got back to the railroad that YOU
would not only not interest him
bu: he would go away and give
US the worst advertising in the
world. Let's have good roads
all over the comfy.
The Board of Supervisors have
had much trouble with contrac-
tors and other road matters, and
they have done remarkably well
under the circumstances; thew
have had to annul many con-
tracts because of failure of the
to put their roads in
order; this is right on their part
but it works a hardship on the
county; the people are out Of
their money and their roads also
