The roads of the city which have
been recently oiled are being watched
with considerable interest by the cit
liens OF Mitchell in an effort to see
if the experiment Will prove practic-
able here. According to Mayor Hitch
cock there is no doubt but that the
work is a success from the view
point OF laying the dust. The princi-
pal trouble seems TO be- says the
mayor, that the streets make such a
dirty mess to be tracked onto the
sidewalks and into the homes. Boys
win be boys and it is Impossible 70
keep them from running across the
oiled roads. They then track the dirt
into their homes" II is thought by
many that it viii take several months
of working to make the oiled roads in
Mitchell a success on account Of the
sandy condition of the soil which
abounds in this city.
The city well is now down TO the
