.ELKS' SMOKER \
 HUGE SUCCESS
Over 800 in Attendance Diaz WcrStS Rooster
 Madero

The smoker given by the local lodge at the Elks' Home last night was un- doubtedly the greatest success fin the history of Bisbee. There were over 800 Elks and their friends in attendance. The Copper Queen band opened the program with special sel- ections, followed by the Mexican or chestra. The star event of the even ing was the combat between Madero and Diaz and, sad for the insurrecto Elks, hadero was worsted by the little rooster Diaz.
 MT. Kisselberg of Salt Lake City contributed to the entertainment with three solos, which met with rounds of applause. The Mandolin club rendered choice selections. They were Messrs. Harrison, Siddell, Silver and Butler.
 The solo of A. E. Temby was excel lent and Tom Feeney's recitation brought down the house. The box ing match between Ben Jackson and Sam Benton was one of the clever stunts. The Orpheum orchestra, in cluding MT Tuck, gave several num- bers and solos that were much ap- preciated. The famous Elks' Multi gan, of course, was a decided hit.
 The sparring match between Bob Cook and John Perkins was up to the minute and brought forth great ap- psause. Housing music by the Or pheum orchestra ended the evenings entertainment.
 At II o'clock the time-honored toast was given to absent brothers, and the program then proceeded. It was the most largely attended affair giv- en by the Elks for a long time.

Victoria, B. c., Feb, 1.-THE
British Columbia legislature yes
terday adopted the resolution in

ing the reciprocity agreement
between the United States and
Canada. There was only one
dissenting vote.
Premier Mcbride spoke at length
on the resolution, asserting that
he regards reciprocity with the
United States as unnecessary and
uncalled for by conditions now
existing in Canadian trade. He
said that although he believed
freer trade with the Uuited States
would not weaken Canadian 10y

not assist in bringing the Domin-
ION and the mother country closer
together. He interprets the
agreement as a departure from
the established policy which both
parties in Canada have recogniz-

BRISTOL ABATTO|R FINDS
Cow With Neclace Come From
Kentucky, in Car Load
Shipment of Cattle
BRISTOL ABATT0|R FINDS

Bristol, Feb. 18.-A diamond
necklace was found in a cows
paunch at Bristol abattoir yes
terday. The singular discovery
was made by a man working in
the killing room, and who has
developed a habit of searching
the stomachs of beeves. The
necklace had with it a chain
about twelve inches in length and
not link in the chain was brok-
en-. The chain was slightly cor
roded, but was easily polished,
being solid gold. An application
of ammonia quickly brought back
the brilliancy to the stone, which
was mounted in a solid gold heart.
On the same day a set of archi-
tect's drawing instruments were
found in the paunch of another
COW. Frequently the abattoir
find nails, tin tags and hardware
of all kinds in the stomachs of
cows. Only where sharp edges
perforate the iptestines is death
caused from such articles, and
this is said to be rare.
The cow i'll which the necklace
was found came from Kentucky
in a car load brought to the local
market from that state. If the
owner can be found the necklace
will be returned.

OCCURS NEAR
GAINESVILLE
RIDE OFF IN AUTOMOBILE
Five Men Set Signal, Stop Train,
Board and Hold Up Crew
Safe is Rifled

Gainesville, Ga, Feb. 18.-South-
ern railway train No. 70, the United
States fast mail, bound from New
Orleans to New York, was held up
by five masked men at White Sui
phur Springs, four miles from here,
at 3:I5 o'clock this morning. The
express car safe was dynamited and
the contents stolen. First reports
from the scene were that more than
SIoo,ooo was taken but Southern
railway officials declare the amount
was 500. None of the passengers
was molested, few, in fact, knowing
why the train was stopped.
The robbers escaped in an auto
mobile, according to the engineer,
and are now thought to be in Hall
county, probably bound for the
wilds of North Georgia, where pur-
suit would be difficult. A posse is
on the trail.
The robbers broke down the
door of the railroad station at White
Sulphur, bound the night agent and
set the signal for the train to stop.
AS the locomotive slowed up one of
the men entered the cab and order
ed the engineer to proceed to Lula,
a small station several miles away.
After stop was made the other
bandits, who also had boarded the
train, entered the express car and
while one held the conductor and
express messenger at the point of
gun, the others blew the door of the
safe off, obtaining the money. The

Nashville, Feb. II. - In the
house today the bill creating the
Office of assistant attorney-gener'
al for Knox county was called ul
on first reading. The bill was
amended, fixing the salary at ST..
500 instead of $1,000 rer year.
An unsuccessful effort was made
to further amend the bill by fixing
the salary at 81, 200.
The Davidson delegation in the
house introduced a bill authoriz-
ing city and county boards of
health to appoint medical inspec-
tors of schools and to prescribe
their duties. The bill requires
that children with infectious dis
eases be sent home until cured
and requires the state board of
health to furnish appliances for
testing vision and hearing and
for detecting communicable dis

JOHNSON CITY. TENNESSEE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23 1911
Interesting Talk On Good Roads.

We all want good roads anC
believe that our county must have
them, but the question is how tc
get them.
If we vote $500, 900 bonds and
spend the money as quickly as
possible we will probably get
about seventy-five miles of good
pike in the course of the next
three years. 1t will take three
years to build them right.
Let's look at the investment.
$500, 900 at 5 per cent for twenty
years with a sinking fund accu-
mulated at the rate of 5 per cent
per year. This sinking fund
would just pay the debt and could
be applied at the end of certain
periods, say ten years, to reduce
the principal one-half and twenty
years to wipe out the balance.
There should be a sinking fund
provided for if bonds are voted.
$300,000 at 5 per cent is SIS. 900
per year. Five per cent sinking
fund is $4,000. Repairs, inn
provements and approaches 10
per cent per year on total amount
invested, being $4,000 more,
making in all 100000 year out
lay. The items of repairs and
improvements are spoken of fur
ther ou, explaining how 10 per
cent is near the proper amount
to expect.
We have a yearly expense OF
$1,000 beside repairs if we build
$500, 900 worth of roads, and if
we do not keep up the repairs we
have nothing at the end of ten
years and go on paying $4,000
for ten years more at least and
perhaps forever. If we keep up
the repairs we still have the roads
but at the end of twenty years we
have paid out about $525,0O0 if
we pay the principal at that time
and have but seventy-fve miles
of pixies to show for it. Now,
then, when we once bond the
county we can count on paying
them off or forever paying for
dead horse (interest.) It's easy
to go into debt, but it's hard to
get out. Our city has issued
bonds for streets. The streets
we're very we'll rocked in most
cases, bat no repairs, and plenty
of travel has put the rock out OF
sight, and although we still are !!
paying interest on those bonds

ADDITIONAL ROAD BONDS
FOR SULLIVAN OPPOSED

Bristol, Feb. I7.-It is not likely that
Sullivan county will make proposed
new 100000 issue of road bonds, in
addition to the $500, 900 issue now being
made. This is due to the fact that
people of Bristol are opposed to another
issue unless the city gets twenty five
percent of the proceeds of the bond
sale. The board of mayor and alder
men has gone on record against the
proposed new issue. The county court
has asked the present legislature for
another enabling act to issue the $780,
600 bonds.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1911-02-23

can not we'll recommend the vot-
ing of a large amount of bonds
for roads.
There is safe plan to pursue
in the matter, however. 1t is
this, get any necessary legisla-
tion so that we can collect spe-
cial road tax so long as we see fit,
20 the amount of say $780, a
year and 10 per cent more as the
roads are built for maintenance,
and start in and learn how to
build good roads at the rate of
l7H miles year and how to take
care of them as we go along, and
when we think we should for any
reason stop building more roads,
quit the business out of debt and
with our moneys worth of i'm
provements.
1t is easy to figure that at the
end of ten years we could have
seventy-five miles of good pixies
in this way at the cost of $500, 200
and not owe cent on them,
where on the bond plan we would
still owe at least $150,000 and
would be paying interest for ten
years more. Which looks best to
you? / am for Washington coun-
ty in the matter and | want her
to get her moneys worth when
she goes after roads.
The state road from Memphis
to Bristol can be taken care of by
first building a pike from the
lower end of the county through
Jonesboro and Johnson City to
the Sullivan county line. The
section between Johnson City and
Jonesboro could be built this year
and the other two sections begun
from Johnson City north and
Jonesboro west in 1912 and com
pleted in 1913, which will be as
soon as other counties will be
ready with their divisions after
these sections are completed. We
can go on building out from
johnson City and Jonesboro in
the directions where roads are
most needed and where the most |
aid is offered along with
desirable rights of way. Consid-
cradle aid can be secured from
people who appreciate the value
of a good road passing their prop
erty under this plan as there will
be time for working such matters
up. When, if we had the bonds
voted, a rush of building would
make the roads more expensive.
Explaining why 10 per cent
tax on first cost is about the right
l will say that there are
he following items to consider:
Every clay mud street or road
connecting with pike is ruinous
% it and should be rocked back
ar enough from the pike with
arge rock about five or six inches
n size rolled down but not dress
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1911-02-23

ed so that the clay from the dirt
road will jolt from the wheels
before the vehicle reaches the
pike.
Wet Clay picks up the top rock
on pike carries them short dis
tance and drops off with them max
ing lot of hollows and ridges that
rapidly increase in size and soon
work ruin. Mud should be shovel
ed from the pike when in proper
shape to shovel after a rain. bitches
should be kept open and all holes
coming in the roadway filled on
first appearance,
We have streets in Johnson City
today that could have been kept in
very good condition with a little
work on them, that are ruins now.
The road men on our pixies must
have supplies or suitable rock at fire.
quent intervals for surfacing and re-
pairs, so you see that probably 10
per cent will not be too much to al
low for maintenance and improve
ments, no matter which way we get
the roads, and if we take them the
bond way our annual expense on IS
miles will be about 500, 900 a year,
from the first jump. While on the
special tax plan they will only begin
at $4,000 and can be shut down
whenever we think best. In max
ing the figure $50, ,oooI did not mean
that the amount should not be either
above or below that figure, but
used that figure because it appears
reasonable, will not be burdensome
and corresponds with the interest on
a 100000 bond issue. We could
have the right allowed of making
the amount larger and so build at
faster rate if we choose until such
time as the people say, change it. |
did not try to 20 into details, but
just to give general plan. Mony
collected for road purposes should be
handled by the county court, and in
such way as to guarantee full
value to the tax payers. All work |
should be we'll advertised for bids
and let to lowest responsible con-
tractors under good bond, and close
of the work should be
constantly provided for.
The power to levy, and collect
certain amount say $50, 900 can be
given the court, said amount to be
collected and applied until such
time as the people of the county
should vote at regular election to
change or discontinue the plan.
l am for good roads, but no bonds.
This county is not bond crazy as
some counties and cities seem to be
and let's not get that way.
We don't need to issue bonds for
'oads and court houses. We can
,uild them cheaper without bonds.
What do others think about it.
