GOOD ROADS

The south needs good roads
without a doubt: any country
needs them, north or south.
There is nothing that creates a
better impression on a desirable
class Of emigrants than good
roads. The country that has no
good roads needs them, and the
country that has some, needs
more. Arkansas will be up to
the mark along this line at no

BUILDING OF GOOD ROADS

The following extract from an
article gotten out by the United
States office of public roads, will
be interesting to those who feel
that good roads are the thing we
need:
1T is stated that with a high
power automobile that could
travel 80 miles a day, it would
take 65 years to cover all the
public roads in the United States.
A young man Of 20 years of age
could start out now and would
be 85 years Of age before he
could go all over the public roads
that are now in existence, but as
new roads are being constantly
opened, it would be practically
impossible for any man to com
plete the job Of going over the
public roads Of the country.
Logan Waller Page, director
Of the office Of public roads, has
ascertained that there are now
2,199,645 miles Of public roads in
the United States, which includes
all the new roads built up to the
year 1909; in 1904 there were
2,151, ,379, making the increase in
a period of nine years, 48, 266
miles.
The director says that the
movement for the improvement
of our public roads has obtained
a firm grip on the country; the
per centage Of public roads
which weee really improved in
1904 af11vuhted to 7T# per -0efru7,
and in 1909 8.66 per cent,
"The total mileage of stone
roads in 1904 was 36,818, while.
in 1909 it was 59,237. The total
mileage of gravel in 1904 was
1O9,9O5, while in 1909 it had
been reduced to 1O2, $40, due to
a reclassiication Of the roads.
"The total mileage of sand
clay, brick, bituminous macadam
and other improved roads in
1904 was 6,806, while in 1909 it
had reached 28,3 ,372 miles.
THE states. having the largest
mileage Of improved roads in
1909 are as follows: Indiana,
24,955; Ohio, a, 106; New York,
y. 2.787; Wisconsin, 10,467; Ken
lucky, 1O.114; Illinois, 8,91+; Cal
