AN EXPERT ENGINEER
SENT To LEE COUNTY
Department of Good Roads Will
Build Mile of Model Road in il
Number of South Texas
Counties.
Associated Press Special.

| Associated Press Special.
Washington, March 2S.--At the
request of Representative Albert S.
Burleson the United States office of
public roads has detailed Charles R.
Thomas, Jr, an expert engineer, to
Giddings, Lee county, Texas, for the
purpose OF advising with the county
missioners as to methods to be
pursued in the Improvement of roads
in that county
County Judge J H. Tate, of Lee
county, made the application for the
services of the government expert,
and his formal request was endorsed
by Representative Burleson 1t was
explained by Mr.. Burleson that Tex
as has determined to push the move
ment for improved roads and that it
is desired that each county shall
have one or more model roads, built
under supervision Of the govern
ment so that there may be stand
arl for all other roads that are
built by county enterprise.
Engineer Thomas has been advis-
ing WIN JUe OlllCldlS VI bdSti Up
county, Texas, with regard to mod
ell road and the kind of materials
most adapted to conditions there.
and he will remain in Texas for
some time. AS soon as he has finish
ed his work in Bastrop county he
will go to Lee county
1t is believed that a sand clay and
gravel road will be the best for Lee
county. The commissioners of the
county are authorized to issue bonds
TO meet the cost of such improve
ments. From the reports from var
ious parts of Texas, there is evidence
that all the counties are waking up
to the vast possibilities of improved
roads, which make it feasible to
market products at all seasons of the
year and heavily increase the reve-
nues of the state.

THE PEOPLE AND AN INTERUR r.
BAN.

When this paper makes a charge
it is generally able to offer good and
sufficient reasons for the charge,
even if it cannot substantiate to the
letter the indictment it makes. In
the matter of the proposed interur-
ban line, and as to who will build it,
all that this paper may have said, or
viii say, is in the interest of WaXa-
hachie even though it may be oppos-
ed to the interests of few whom
We refuse to accept as being more
than a prescribed part of the whole
town. With every other citizen of
Waxahachie the editor of this paper
wants the interurban proposition as
ISOLATED to the best advantage posi-
Bile with a local street car service.
and we are willing to go so far as 10
say that such associated interests
should be arranged so as to give the
holders of the existing street car
franchise a square deal for their in
terests But in arranging square
deal it is not necessary that these
franchise holders should be favored
to the detriment of other interests.
There is nothing unfair or unjust in
this position toward anyone 1t is
simply a carrying out of the papers
declared policy to stand for WaXa-
hachie as against the individual And
these are the reasons for the recent
paragraph 10 which some OF a GER
tain committee have taken exception.
Holding to the established position
that no interested man is Unbiased
in his views, we hold that this com
mittee, or a considerable part Of it,
because of financial interests inVolv-
ed, will be inclined to consider that
part of any proposition made which
may most affect those interests.
There is nothing dishonest in this
neither is there any intention on our
part to reflect on the integrity of any
member of the committee. Human
nature is human nature, and there Is
no need of attempting to reconstruct
the code for local application. With
this explanation, and because of
these conclusions, we reassert that
the 'CalQS nave DeeH uedlt Iioul stilS
bottom of the pack" in so far as the
of some people may be
concerned.
Just here we want to emphasize |
he fact that this paper is interested |
only in an interurban proposition in |
50 far as such a road will benefit the
whole section 1t is immaterial to the
,ditor who may build the line, but
We are sick and tired of hedging in
possibilities by granting exclusive
ranChise favors to peddlers. Build
ng roads on paper has ceased to be
or pleasant; what WaXa-
achie wants is the real thing And
n considering propositions that may
e made it is the duty of those who
nay be entrusted with the interests
# the town and country to carefully |
Weigh. not only the effect that such |
may have on the hold
ings of individuals, but the prospect
of compliance with an implied CON

Aifind a Room,

In airing room there are two things to be remembered-frst, that the i'm pure air must be allowed to escape, and, secondly. that fresh air must be admitted. Impure air in room is d. ways warm and will therefore rise to- ward the ceiling, when 1t will escape If the window is opened at the top. while cold fresh air will enter through the lower part of the window when opened.
 Cooking Ham.
 Ham is frequently too salt to fry without previous preparation. Put the slices in tepid water and let them stand on the back of the range to soak out the salt, not to boil for about half an hour. Drain dry between tow els. then fry in hot spider.
 When whole ham is to be baked or boiled let it stand overnight covered with cold water.
