Yesterday afternoon the editor OF
The Eagle accepted an invitation TO
make one OF party in an automobile
OF tour, the object OF which was TO
inspect the road work now in progress
in the northwestern part of the county.
Commissioner Ben Priddy was, OF
course, the official inspector and the
others went mainly for the outing. d.
Mike, IT,, furnished the auto and, be-
sides the editor, took along Tyler Has
we'll and A. NJ. Waldrop for ballast.
We left town at 1:25 p. m. and
bowled along leisurely on the out
bound trip. The toughest travelinS
We hal was the first three or four
miles out of town. This part OF the
road leading northward had been well
graded and rolled, but during the last
rains it was badly cut up by heavy
wagons and had not been dragged
leaving the surface uneven, with deep
ruts in many places. A dragging after

condition.
As we approached Tabor the rough
ness disappeared and there was moth
ing 10 complain Of except some
stretches of sand here and there and
the jolts getting on and off the
bridges. The sand can be made all
right by liberal coating of clay, and
| It is the intention OF the commissions
ers 10 put this on as soon as practic-
able. II would be easy TO remedy the
bad iump-off at the bridge ends-a lit
tie filling in is all that is needed. But
this can not easily be done with the
road working machinery, so il is left
for the local road repairers and they
don't do it. Whoever is responsible
for it ought 70 be held accountable.
for, as already stated, it is the worst
feature of the roads.
Beyond Tabor the travelling was eX-
cellent, except a few patches of sand,
which will be easily clayed, as they
are of small extent over the long
stretches of hard. smooth road We
sped along merrily, between broad
fields OF fertile land, interpreted
with timber in which the number of
large trees was notable. This is by
odds the finest upland farming dis
rict We have yet seen in Brazos
county.
On the way We halted at the road
workers camp. where we found Mr..
R. P NcMinn. the superintendent. and
his force of husky negroes preparing
to move 10 another location where
they are now working.
At Edge We found very few people
around the stores, and the same thing
was observed at Tabor and lack. This
is because the farmers are busy plow-
ing, or preparing their land for the
pillow. Not much fall breaking had
been done, on account of the drouth,
and the farmers are hustling 10 make
up for lost time. We spent a half hour
at Edge very pleasantly, resting and
getting acquainted with the people.
Much satisfaction was expressed over
the improvement of the roads. but We
were tolG that the people of Macy are

his reign will continue throughout the

realm over which his dominion eX-

the world would not purchase by over
a billion dollars the products Of the
cotton fields of the South alone. Dur

HE WAS IN THE GOULD RAID.
I. H. Jones, Formerly Of Abilene,
Now in Utah.

i The Shriners who went to Salins
the other evening enjoyed a visit
with T. H. Jones, formerly U. p,
agent here. He Is agent at Mounds,
Utah, on the D. & R. G., out on the
desert. He was one of the operators
in the famous Gould raid. He told
this story:
Gould wanted a place on the
Western Union directorate, and could
not break in. So he undertook to
force the Western Union to let him
in. He organized the American tele-
graph company and established head
quarters in New York, Chicago, st.
Louis and other points, and COM
menced to build telegraph lines out
OF those points. When he got every
thing ready at Kansas City he had
his men cut the wires Of the Western
Union, and hook them up with his
office. 1t was bold and unexpected
move. When / went to my office
here in salina the morning after
the raid l had several red mes
sages to send. Red messages are
night messages. l called Kansas
City and Kansas City said what do
you wantH I've got a few red ones
for you / sadd. No use for them
said Kansas City, this is the Ameri-
can Telegraph office now. Send your
red messages by mall Before long,
The American offered me a job, and
/ took It. had only had 1t fewI
lays when the Western Union slap
,ed an injunction on me. along with
everybody else connected with the
concern, and the lines were back
INTO the hands OF the Western Union.
3ut Gould's tactics won, for in
ew years he not only forced the
Western Union to buy his lines at
10 own price, but secured the place
e wanted in the Western Union III
Mr.. Jones served as agent at Beloit

Ansas City 3 years.

Christmas There.

Word was received by friendI
from Miss Louise PerriIl, who went
to India last October as missionary
telling of her experiences there. She
is a sister of J. p Perrill, princi-
pal of the Dickinson county high
school, and is we'll known in this
county Miss PERIL says her first
experience in India was Christmas
festivities. They lasted for several
days, for there was celebration in
the girls school, one In the boys
school, and the missionaries own
private affair. She says the Christ
mas weather there was not too cold
or too hot. 1t was just right. The
trees and grass we're luxuriantly
green, chrysanthemums and roses
bloomed in profusion, and gardens
supplied a variety of vegetables.
THAT may sound like a California
Christmas, says Miss Perrill, but
in my native state Of Kansas we look
for a different order of things on
December 25. They had Christmas
tree here with candles, and other dec
orations. The program consisted Of
readings and songs, both English and
Hindustani.
Afterwards came the distribution
of gifts, and never did crowd of
American children await more Gag
eny the happy moment. A doll for
each Of the smaller girls, and saree
for each of the, older ones with few
little additional gifts made every one
happy. The next eve was the boys
