BRANDENBURG (KYl WOMEN
SUBSCRIBE FOR A GOOD ROAD
Feminine Club Wakes Up to situation
First and Makes Travel Easier.

Everybody is in favor Of good roads
as an abstract proposition, but when
Il comes down to the c~oncrete-that is
TO say, to sand and gravel-there are
differences OF opinion. Some Kentuck-
fans there are who declare themselves
strongly for good roads. but say they
do not know how to go about getting
them.
One way TO 60 about II has been ex-
emplifed recently by the Federated
Woman's club Of Brandenburg. KY.
The members Of thar live organization
felt the need Of a good road from
Brandenburg TO Weldon. a station on
the Louisville, Henderson and st.
Louis railroad. B%randenburg has no
railroad, and when the citizens Of that
town go travelling they either take a
steamboat or drive over to Weldon to
take the train.
Meade county mud possibly is a few
degrees worse than the mud anywhere
else in Kentucky. The male citizens Of
Meade have been handling the road
question In the same way that many
other Kentucky counties have been
handling It Mud multiplied by mud
produces more mud. but the male citi-
sens of Meade didn't seem to know 1t.
The women woke up to the situa ton
FIRST and they determined to pike"
the road from Brandenburg to Weldon.
They raised more than S1,20O by pri-
Vate subscription, and they asked the
Ascal court to DO the rest The court
came across with an appropriation Of
$4,000 as an evidence OF good faith.
The road will be completed by the
end Of summer. Next winter II will be
possible to travel from Brandenburg
to Weldon without breaking a hame-
string or straining a singletree. A
wagon win not be a load for a -four
horse team, and walking will not be
an impossibility when q big thaw
comes.

CRUSHED STONE
And OIL ROADS
Found TO Give Good Results In
California.
MIXTURE IS WATERPROOF.

Better and sounder Roads, Known az
protected" Maeadam, Result From
This New Method Of Construction
Dirt and Oil Roads Are Rapidly Be-
ing Abandoned.
For many years oil and liquid as
phalt have been used for road con-
struction In various localities through
out the United States. the most promi.
nent, perhaps, being the state Of Cali
fornia. There many hundreds Of miles
Of roads have been treated with as
phaltic oils Of various GRANTEES, vary
ing according to the product Of the diff
terent oil fields and applied according
10 ideas presented by various engineers
and road builders, says F. d. CLARK,
former engineer Of Los Angeles cOun-
".
The most prominent method has
been to deposit the oil upon the sur
face of a dirt road which had been
previously graded and narrowed. leb-
ting It stand from three to four days
until some Of the lighter portion had
soaked into the soil as well as evapO
rated. The road was then gone over
With a harrow so az to break MP the
OIL cake and allow It. to mix with the
earth. In six Or seven days after the
FIRST billing the road was given a sec
Ond application Of oil. This In turn
was allowed to stand as before, then
narrowed. The road was then spr1n-
kled with water, and after that had
soaked in and the surface dried to a
depth of about one inch It was thor
Oughly rolled with a light roller.
Where the climate is such that rains
come only in a certain season OF the
year, and then only In meager quaint
ties, IT is needless to say that this has
been an excellent method for keeping
down the dust But conditions, like
everything else, are changing; traffic
is increasing, and where 1t was at first
believed that the oiled dirt road was
to be one that would last for many
years the anticipated results have not
been realized.
In California. with all Of its miles
Of oiled dirt roads, the method of mix
ing dirt and oil is rapidly being aban-
doned and in its place is appearing a
new road having far better and sound
er methods of construction. This class
of road is not only appearing in the
state of California from one end to the
other, but in many of the states east
of the Rocky mountains they are find
ing that asphaltic oil and various other
products of the %refnerles have excel

a TIP FOR COUNTIES.

Tho bond plan is the eeonom-
ical, equitable and intelligent
method to provide permanent
municipal improvements, and the
same can be said Of good roads
construction. The county which
is building roads by special taxes
Is making q mistake by doing it
In a pieeemeal fashion when a
bond issue by the entire county
will provide a lump sum for sys-
tematio road building. The plan
Of voting road bonds by town
ships is, nearly equally as bad,
for roads should be constructed
by counties in accordance with
systematic plans, taking care of
all townships and making il de-
cidedly more economical for
them than for each township to
maintain it's own expensive road
building service and equipment.
This is on the side, but the OPP
portunity is too fine for US to let
IL slip by without making known
tho truth to counties which are
going to build good roads by
some hook or crook. There is
the slipshod way and the right
way. Don't ~piddle-Wilmineton

Stock Market

OANJ ONO~h iaoy A(((s IT, 1911. The unsatisfactory cattle market last week, when values declined 10 to 35 cents, operated toward a small Mon. day supply here today. The ear ly estimate of 7,5O0 head proved too small though. the 6nalcount for the day being close to ten thousand head. This meagre SUD- ply resulted in steady tostrong market, in spite of the burden some run of 32,OOO cattle at Chicago today, with a sharp decline in prices there. Evidently Illinois and Iowa shippers are cutting loose freely. Some say it is because of the severe ravages of hog cholera in those states, sln,l the high price of corn is pro- babl, also factor. Whatever the reason, good many cattle are getting out of the way, which may benefit the market later in the winter. Feeders in different localities complain about the poor fattening quail ties of corn this year. Complaint is made that the corn is either wormy, or lacking in oil proper. ties, though in appearance nor mal. The high prices paid this month for prime cattle are allur- ing to feeders who can secure the right kind of nutriment, and country kinds of cattle remain firm. They are selling higher to. day. Bulk of the native fed steers sell at $575 to SIPS, native cows $4.o0 to $5 25. heifers up to $7.OO, Colorado beef Steers $5.OO to $5.SO, COWS $4O0 to $500, Quarantine ted steers $4. 80 to $5.7O to-day. Several large strings of Osage steeres sold here today at $5. 80 to $5. 70 $50 to 11SO ID.
 Hog supplies are beginning to run short a little, occasionally falling below estimates, where as short time ago it was hard to get morning estimates high enough The price is still settling, though some dealers assert that January will witness an advance of one dollar per cwt. in values. Not any more than the normal number of sick hogs are coming to Kansas City now, and quail.
 V and weight are both impro- ;ing. Average weight jumped up to 1S4 lbs last week, from 176 lbs the previous week. Run IS 12, ,OO0 here to-day, market 10 lower, top $6.2O, bulk $5 65 to $6.1O.
 Sheep and lambs sold mean last week, declines of 25 to 50 cents being enforced, especially on low grade stuff. The run is 5000 to-day. market steady. Kansas fed western lambs at $5.9O. Packers will not want much stuff that grades below the best till after the holidays, dealers assert Best wethers are worth $3.75. yearlings $4.25 to $5 %, ewes $2.75 to $3 25. The season is over for feeding stock, and some halt fat lambs went to packers last week at low figurers, for want of a buyers from the country to take them.

elective state, county and city ] offices, including candidates for the United States senate and congress. For the purpose of ob taining an advisory vote of the people the legislature shall pro- , vide for placing the names ot candidates for the United States senate on the official ballot at the general election f Unite States senator.
 Provisions must be made for the general election next Novem Ter, when besides the president, there will be elected a new state I family-state legislators, suprem> court judges. governor and ex ecutive officers-and there will be an advisory vote on candidate for the short term United states senatorship, also there will be elected county officers. With the exception of the presidential vote, next years general election will be almost a repetition of the election on December 12.
 There will be ofcourse another direct primary election next year, and this the legislature will provide for. The people will always remember 1912 as ballot year. First they will vote on the recall amendment; then the presidential primary well be held; then the direct pri- mary election, and last the gene ral election in November, at which Arizona will cast her fir st vote for president.
 One ot the interesting features Of the acts eette first leSS;slaat,..'e will be the reapportionment of the counties of the state for state senators and representatives The present apportionment Is based upon the votes cast for delegates to the constitutional convention, and many Of the counties are dissa atisfied, the contention being that the ap- portionment, should be based upon the population. The first legislature will probably be guided by the census of 1910 in making the, reapportionment.
 The enabling act grants Ari- zona 2.25O.OOO acres of public lands for the purpose of creating funds for schools. Laws must be enacted for the administration of the land grant and as there are many bona fide settlers on some of the land, care must be exercised to protect their rights. Appropriations must be made for the schools, public institutions and for pubic purposes in general, sufficient for the needs of the state until a new legisla- ture meets.
 One act that may cause some sorrow will be abolition ot tn, tee system for the county offices of sheriff, constable an ju>ti e If the peace Tine legislatu will place these offices on a salary basis.
 An employers liability law and wcrkmans compulsory compensation law must bc passed; also laws providing for the safeguarding of the health and limb of underground work CTS The office of mines inspector will be created.
 Laws for the incorporation and classification of cities and towns III propnrtion t. their population must be passed. Then the constitution provides a mum Der of "shalls" for the corpora ton commission and Corpora tions other than municipal" :. Laws will be passed forbidding the issuance of railroad passes to any office holder; also d cor
