That the good roads movement now
under way locally will result in I'M
proved highways leading from Madrlu
in all directions is the general opinion
Of men Identified with the agitation.
The two roads leading north OF
Madrid are now being graveled. WORK
on the west road began two or three
weeks ago and On the east road eS-
tending north today.
4 half mile or so Of the Elk Rapid
road leading ives. from Madrid has
been gravele6 this season. placing this
road in excellent condition. With the
exception of that stretch OF road gray
eled this season, the road contained
natural deposits which made it good in
nearly al. kinds Of weather.
There is some reasons for hoping
that the road leading south from Ma :
drid may be graveied also. The Des
Moines automobile clubs have been in
terested by the Madrid Commercial
Club and the local club has been en-
courag cd to believe that beneficial re-
suits will follow. The road has been
graveled as far north as the Hyperia7
Club
There is also a movement for gravel
ing the principal streets Of Madrid.
Just how this will be done remains 10
be seen but it is morally certain that
something will follow.

of former President Cipriano Castro

Castro's revolutionary operations. 1t

is in charge, is giving no quarter and
that every armed adherent of Presi-
dent Gomez who tails into his hands
Is summarily executed. One dispatch
states that General Castro is inaugur-
ating reign of terror among the
peasanty and they are being forced
either to join his army or suffer cruel
ties for which the Castristas long have
been famous.
The revolutionists are plundering
the villages and much property al
ready has been destroyed. Entire
families are fleeing in advance of the
Castristas, whose numbers, it Is said,
are increaing daily.
Several New York capitalists inter.
ested in business enterprises in the
revolutionary zone will appeal to Sec
retary of State Bryan to impress upon
the Venezuelan government the urg-
ent necessity of affording Americans
and American interests in Venezuela
the protection to which their rights as
