ROAD BUILDING

little OH are losing no time IN
trying to make the shortest and
best connection with the new gold
camp. Platoro is building good
road on paper; La Jara has had a
crew of men with snow shovels and
skates looking for two per cent
grade; Alamosa is claiming to be
the gate through which all must
enter. Monte Vista boasts of be-
ing the nearest and best shipping
point to Platoro, Sumner and Gill
more, and will strive to build the
best road to these points.
Mining men who are contem-
plating shipping in machinery and
who expect to do good deal of
freighting are encouraging the
building of good roads from all
points to the next big gold camp
in Colorado.
The indications are that by the
first of March road work will begin
in earnest. By that time the cold
weather will be over and the days
will be long enough for a full days
work.

The Pittsburg Gazette Times has
marked the advent of the new year by
issuing its 1918 almanac, 5OO-page
book whose every page is packed to
the brim with useful information and
data of every day value. The almanac
is well printed, substantially bound,
and contained within handsome col

is almost encyclopedia. Beginning
with a calendar, specially prepared by
the Allegheny Observatory and based

equally desirable, the East win

ize the building of roads in our state.
This act will raise a road fund Of
81. 800, 900 to be divided among the
SO counties of the state. The law
will do away with the practice Of
working out road taxes. Also dis
trict road bosses. In addition to, the
highway commission a state engineer
is provided for. Each county will
have deputy state highway engineer
who will in reality be the county
Superintendent of roads and who shall
be under the supervision of the, state
highway engineer. Thus uniform
system of road building will be OBJ
tanned. Of the apportionment for
each county 80 per cent is allowed
for actual construction while the re-
manning 20 is for maintenance. Each
township is allowed one overseer of
roads who shall receive So day. for
actual work and the supervision of
dragging the roads is placed under
him. This bill will undoubtediv he
come a law as it carries cut the in
tent of the road amendment that the
people approved at the last election.
County Option was defeated BY
tie vote SO to SO. Two members
were absent Ffender, and Weseott,
but these are against the bill so it
would have made 81 against. This
is the nearest the county option peo.
pie have come of passing their bill.
The surprise, if any, is not in the
defeat of the bill but in the fact that
it received as many votes as it did.
"A house divided against itself can
not stand" and that is the exact
truth about the anti saloon people in
this state. Look over the political
map of the state and you will discover
that in every county option district.
Calderwood has commissioned kid
early in the summer of the last two
campaigns to make collections and
agitated for prohibition party csndi-
date to take votes away from the
county option candidates and eonse-
Quently the election in many cases Of
members opposed to temperance legis%
lation. 1t is useless to look to the
leaders for relief. Calderwood has
about as much use for the Anti-Saloon
League as LaFollette tor a Bull
Moose and az long as the revenue is
ample he will likely continue to play
. part that in reality is the greatest
construction to county option IN the
Estate.
