WHERE THE TROUBLE
PROBABLY IS LOCATED

IlNJD II - D.
Ar p recent good roads meet
ino at Hot Springs Gov. Dona-
abev advised the people not to
woit until they can build turn
n;kes like the ones they see IN
pictures, but to build the best
road thew can today and improve
on it tomorrow.
The governor declared 'oo'
that the people are waiting 100
looo for fine materials or some
tbino else that may not happen
70 he at hand, and he urged them
10 oct to work and put into the
roads the best materials at thelr
command.
Gov. Donaghey's advice is
timely and sound
Whenever the subject OF roads
is up for discussion you are sure
70 hear somebody say there will
never be any good roads in this
country because there is not
enough money available for use
on the roads; because we have
not the proper machinery; be"
cause there is too much sand;
too many hills, or this, that or
another thing seems to be always
standing in the way OF better
roads,
No doubt the truth would be
better told if we should say that
we do not know how to build
roads in this country, rather than
that good roads cannot be built
here,
True, we need more money for
road building here; we need very
badly some improved machinery;
we have a good deal Of sand in
certain localities and the country
is rough, but all this does not
prevent US from using every dol
lar Of available road money SEN
si5ly and with some idea Of per-
manent good to tho roads, AS
Gov, Donaghey says, build the
best roads we can today and i'm
prove on theNl tomorrow.
Advance forward--not back
wards.
1t has been definitely settled
in other states where sand beds
were numerous and troublesome
that these sand beds can be con-
verted into compact roads easily
and at small cost.
Perhaps good roads can be
built in this country, but we just
don't know how to 60 about the
work,
Any one wanting advice on
road. making through sand can
get, free Of cost, the govern
ment's experience and knowledge
of this work by mailing a re-
quest to the Director Of Public
Roads, Department Of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D, G,
II has been demonstrated that
tho eplit'log drag, q device easy
of construction and one that costs
pra9Vleally h0thlng, 10 worth lts
weight in gold to the roads in
smoothing down tho ruts, build
ing up and packing the roads,
but how many Of these simple
benefits to road building are in
use in thla country2
Perhaps, after all, good roads
can be built in this country,
Perhaps the greatest trouble
Is we do not know how to put to
the best use what means we have
at hand,

CLAY CENTER MEN CITED
Mayor and Others Must Show Cause
Why Not in Contempt.

Washington, Dec 12.-The supreme
court of the United States today cited
Mayor George W. Hanna, o. l.. Slade,
w. D. Vincent, s.. D. Trip and G. P.
Randall of Clay Center, Kan, to show
cause on January 8 why they should
not be adiudged in contempt of court.
In petition filed December in
court. the Merrimac River Savings
bank of New Hampshire urged that
these men partially destroyed an cleo
trio light plant in Clay Center on
which the bank held a mortgage.
This destruction was alleged to have
occurred Nov. 16, 1910, after the su-
preme court announced a. decision it
had no jurisdiction over controversy
touching the plant, but before the
mandate of the court had been issued
or the court had passed on an appli-
cation for rehearing.

ALL ARE SAVED.
Passengers and Grew Rescued
From the Olympia.
1t Is Feared the Vessel Will BE
a Total Loss.


Valdez, Dec. 12.-AIl the passengers
on the Alaska Steamship company's
steamship Olympia which went on the
rocks at Bligh Island, Prince William
Sound, Saturday night, were taken off
the ship at o'clock yesterday after
noon with the mails and baggage and
were conveyed to Valdez and Ellemar.
Most of the passengers are here.
Those at Ellemar are well cared for in
the little village.
The Olympia left Cordova Saturday
evening after unloading large guam
tity of coal in her after hold and soon
ran into a fierce gale. The empty
stern stood too high out of the water
and in the tempest the ship became
unmanageable and was spun about by
the wind. About midnight she went
hard and fast on Bligh island, reef.
Wireless Operator Hayes sent out
the distress call, which was picked up
at Cordova and Valdez and also gave
as much information as he could for
the water soon put out the fire and
made the wireless unavoidable The
government launch Donaldson from
Fort Liscum and the steamer June left
at once for Bligh island and took OH
the passengers without mishap to any
of them. The crew also was saved.
1t is hoped to save the freight on
the Olympia but it is feared the YES
sci will be total loss. There is
rock through her No. 1 hold.

WANT THE PAVING
Thirty-Three Blocks Are Asked
for Today.
This Makes Fifty Blocks Petit
toned For.

From the outlook AT the present
time, W. g. Tandy, city commissioner
| of streets and public improvements,
will have an enraged mob of property
owners after his scalp unless he allows
| contracts for about fifty blocks of paw
ing this year.
| Twenty-Five blocks have been ap-
proved and the contracts will be called
for before spring. Today was set as
the last day for the incoming petit
| tons and as a result ignatures repre-
| senting 33 blocks of pavement came to
the city commissioners for. considera
ton. ses
| Mr.. Tandy is not disposed to allow
all of these petitions. He is planning
/ the improveme work in such a man
liner that all work will be cleaned up in
1.-THE fall and the city will not have torn
up streets in the winter months, as
| has been the case in the past.
| Mr.. Tandy faced a storm of protes-
| tors when he refused to allow any paw
ling this year because of back work on
paving for the year before and it is
supposed that he is perfectly able to
stand up before another mob this year.
| 1t is probable that only about 40 blocks
of paving will be let for the coming
tyear. This is all that contractors can
handle.
The petitions this morning called for
paving on the following, streets:
| Jackson, from Fourth to Rock Island
tracks, blocks.
King, from Fillmore to Clay, block.
| Garfield, from Tenth to Thirteenth, 8
| blocks. #
Polk, from Fourth to Second, 2

ROOM FOR ONE CLASS.
That Is All There Is In Heaven, Says
DIR. Carroll.

s'Ther is room in heaven for one class
of people only-the Sinners" declared
Dr. w. Irving Carroll, in the course
of an address Sunday afternoon at the
Novelty theater on 1.-TWO Young Men"
"Cain and Abel are good examples of
all mankind said DR.. Carroll.
"They represent two denominations,
one is all right and the other all wrong
The first baby born into the world
was a murderer We were all born or
sinful parents and consequently are
all sinners Cain offered the fruits of n
cursed earth, not to worship God, but
that God might worship him.

nominations Cainites and ABILITIES.
Don't be a Cainite. There is room in
heaven for one class of people only

gave him more than one chance. Every

in his head and likely to die and his

was suffering from nervousness had
accidentally inflicted the wound. Clapp
has had a career which has frequently
brought him before the public. He is
a grandson of Mason, 1.-The shoe black

Indian in a North side millinery store
this morning. While his demand
could not be supplied he was finally

The red man probably wanted them
for some decoration or other. He came
