GOOD ROADS FIRST

As for history of Forest City.
of it's thirty years of rise and fall,
it would properly bc the story of
the failings and failure of three
different railroad companies and
about as many townsite compan-
les. That is sufficient reason for
The Press declining the task. And
be it understood, we are not init
mating that such failure was due
to lack of any natural advantages.
J S for writeup, or "boom
ediyion," we will get the machine
ry illustrations for it to turn it
out as soon as somebody offers to
''pay the freight
We are thinking about it-apd
we intend to kecp ON THINKING
about it until another Townsite or
Railroad Company bobs up.
Another little matter that we
ARE THINKING about is that
there are certain resources at the
command of the good people of
this town, which would furnish us
with the desired Townsite Compa-
nv. AS for the Railroad Compa-
-, AN AuTONIORJI. II HIGH
WAY is better, for starter. rbe
difference is, Forest City might
not succeed any better at furnish
ing the needed ties, rails and roll
ing stock for Railroad than
others have done; with the Auto
mobile Highway, we don't need
any ties and rails. nor rolling
stock and expensive right of
way!

that there are between fifteen and
twenty contractors now in the city

that there will be but twelve of

for by Carter county taxpayers that
the home builder will be favored as
