| believe the work can he put
through in November and that it
can be commenced and finished ready
to be declared a state highway by
the middle of the month.
My plan is this: Let the county
commissioners assemble all of theic
road building machinery and paid men
along the route through their coun-
ties. Have all of the material nee
essary for culyerts and drainage on
hand and then at signal let the
entire people along the route turn
out and do the work. The women
can bring baskets and the boys can
CARY the water.
The towns can shut up shop and
jump into the movement. What
money is needed outside of what the
counties can appropriate can be rails
ed by public subscription in each
county. believe there would be
more mules and wagons and men
along the entire route than wcGid
be necessary.

No movement in the history ". a
state or of territorial days, can /
sibly compare with that which was
inaugurated Monday last when the
Interstate Postal Highway was launch

OF and when on the morning that
a gw commissioners or their repre-
sentatiyes were expected to discuss
a state highway north and south,
hundreds gathered in this city with
bands playing patriotic airs and en-
thusiastic demonstrations were held

Suggs Day
Il was a "Suggs Day and there

was more astonished than Commits

self. He had no idea of what was
coming nor dreamed that few let
ters sent out inviting a limited num-
der of men TO an informal conference
would result in the greatest good
roads meetings ever held.
On the Monday previous 10 the
meeting Commissioner Suggs sent out
a letter to the commissioners of the
twelve counties north and south OF
this city asking that they come here
to discuss a state highway. He also
suggested that they bring with them
aHy interested parties on such a pro-
ieCt.
Few Replies.
In discussing the matter with his
associates he had said that this state
highway had been projected Cor years
but that no move had ever been made
so he would try and find out if it
could be done before attempting any
organization. On the Friday before
the meeting about twelve replies had
been received all of which were to

ton to launch the project.
The money. brains and energy We're
all represented. Somebody at the
meeting said that in money alone
millions was represented and that if
a bonus had been necessary it could
have been raised in ten minutes.
From the moment the meeting was
called to order to its adjournment it
was purely business, but with such
enthusiasm that could not be mis-
taken. There was no friction, not q
disturbing element, but all urging
that an organization be perfected to
do the work. Nor was that all. When
Governor Cruce in endorsing the
scheme "hoped TO see another com
menced east and west" the real pa
triotic spirit of the Oklahoma men
broke loose, and resolution was
passed urging the east and west
people to get busy and commence
their road also.

The First Step.

OF course a hard macadam road
could not be built in day but the
foundation for one could. Grading
could be done where necessary and
at night good dirt road would be
there. As the, law operated so bonds
AZ subsequent date could be issued
to make it permanent What we want
is road from Texas to Kansas that
a farmers wagon or an automobile
can -raNel without impediment. When
that is done the Commissioner of
Highways could declare it a state
highway and then it would be a mat
ter of local pride to perpetuate i,
and get it in such shape as to Justify
state and national aid to maintain il.
Organization Necessary
II will be necessary however for
al counties and every township in
the county to organize to bring about
the real desired result A good roads
association affailiated with the State
Good Roads Association should be
organized in every township in the
