Roads Association One of the deep
 est expressions of interest came ts
 us when tae juige agreed to act a: one of the executive committee ant
 to assist us in choosing and securing an engineer to establish the route grading and excavating and to lay out the work for the road captains and overseers.
 Judge Farmer concluded his re
 marks by stating that liberal con. tributions of cash would be forthcom ing from the business men of Hot Springs as soon as our plans as sumei concrete form.
 Upon motion of Hon. Gibson Witt the organization voted upon and adopted the name "Tae Hot Springs and Mt. Ida Good RoaIis Association. under which title all future business will be transacted.
 At the request of the chairman brief expressions of opinion and short addresses were elicited from Hon. Gibson Witt, w. P. Fisher, Ex- Judge Buttram, J M. Scott, George sherman, Hon. Jerry Witt, E. B. Con- man, Earl Witt, P. F. Tofft, Joe Dempy and others.
 1 The election of permanent officers was the next business taken up by the organization. Ex-Juige Buttram, of Silver. was elected permanent chairman and George Sherman, of Mt. Ida. received the highest number of votes for the office of secretary. | treasurer. Upon motion and a unan. imous vote of the association these officials were directed to select the members of the executive committee, the names of this most important body to be published in an early is- sue of the county paper as the i'm portant work of selecting and secur- ing an engineer and apportioning the work to tae various captains and overseers will fall upon the executive committee. the selection of these men wi!i require considerable deliberation and thought and an effort will be made to secure men who are ex perienced in road-making.
 After the election of officers Judge Farmer suggested that the secretary communicate with the Departmeni of Agriculture in an endeavor to secure one of the governments road experts to assist in planning the work. He stated that usually such a man is available free of charge.
 After some discussion the dates of the two great road working days were changed from July 10 and II to Monday and Tuesday, July 24 ami 25. This was deemed advisable be- cause of the fact that crop-niaking is about three weeks behind time. Upon motion of Jerry Witt 1t was decided that the road should be im- proved for the convenience of bug gies and farm wagons and not for the snecial convenience of antomo- biles.
 The motion was suggested by false reports which have become current during the past week or two. The secretary stated that he desrei a response from all present who would consent to circulate petitions for the purpose Of securing signers for vol untary labor, horses, wagons. blows and other tools.
 Twenty-Five of tho members pres. ent agreed to take hold of this work with a vim and the secretary agreed to mail the blanks to their address during the week.
