COURTHOUSE.


 We find the courthouse in good re- pair as far as we were able to tell, and in more sanitary condition than in the past We would respectfully suggest to the court that the vault that we now have for the protection of the public records for this county is wholly inadequate for the increas- ing volume of business, and would suggest that the present vault either be enlarged to at least twice it's size or that the present vault be given over to the county clerk for the stor- ing of the county court and tax col lector's records and that an entirely new vault be built for the circuit court and recorders records. POOR FARM. Owing to the inclement weather just on the eve of our adjournment, we did not visit the poor farm. The records show that there are only two inmates on the farm and that J. I. Holt is the keeper of the same. We find that he has filed his bond and Icontract and that they have been ap- proved by the county court.
 COUNTY OFFICERS.
 We have carefully examined the re- ports of the county officers, the re port of the justices of the peace and Iconstables of the county, and find that the justices of the peace have made their reports and that the constabes have paid in the money as the law re quires.
 ROADS AND BRIDGES.
 We find that the public roads are in reasonably good condition for this season of the year, except in a few places. We find that since the re cent heavy rains that many of the small bridges and culverts have teen damaged and some washed away. We recommend that the road overseers look after this part of their work as soon as they possibly can,
 We desire to return our thanks to the court, prosecuting attorney and the county officers for their courtesies and assistance during our short ses- sion.

SAYS HEALTH BOARD
 SHOULD TAKE ACTION
CORRESPONDENT ADVOCATES CLOSING OF SCHOOL ON AC-
 COUNT OF MENINGITIS.

Browns Crossing, Jan. 21.-This neighborhood has received a great shock in the death of Mrs. Joe Tucker and her son, Will. They both died with meningitis, their deaths occur ring within four days of each other Mrs. Tucker was an old resident of this place and member of Old Lib erty Baptist church. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her sad loss, and they have the heart felt sympathy of the entire commun- ity.
 We received news by phone that Mrs. Ethel Wilkinson, who lives two miles west of Conway, died this morn ing. Mrs. Wilkinson was a daughter of Hill Langley and was raised here. She leaves a husband, mother, four brothers and two sisters and a host iof friends to mourn her untimely death.
 | Have we a board of health in this county? If so, we think they should close the school which is being taught only half a mile from where two have , died from meningitis, and over 20 have been exposed. We think the di- rectors should have closed the school but when they failed to act then the board of health to whom we all look
 for protection from contagious dis ease, should act promptly.

SUPPORTERS OF
 ROBINSON HAPPY
OVER DEFEAT OF PRIMARY
RESOLUTION FOR THAT PUR- POSE DEFEATED IN AR
 KANSAS SENATE.

Little Rock, Jan. 21.-The feature of yesterdays session of the legisla- ture was the debate in the senate over a resolution presented by Senators Going and Lundy, providing that the state central committee call a pri- mary next month to nominate can didate for United States senator to succeed the late Senator Jeff Davis.
 A mot.on by Senator Covington to postpone consideration of the resolu- tion until March was adopted by vote of IS to 17. The forces favora- ole to Governor Robinson favored the postponement.
 The supporters of Gov. Joe T. Rob nson won a victory Monday morning when a motion prevailed in the sen ate, Ly vote of IS to Y, postponing further consideration of the resoIu- tion requesting the state Democratic
 entral committee to call a primary 10 settle tAe senatorial fight. Sena- aor Webb Covineton led the fight to postpone further cons iteration of the motion to March 1, which is conceded ay ell to mean the same as indefinite poztponement. and in speech charac eerized throughout by bitter invective and ridiaule, he attacked the resolu- i. on and it's supporters.
 Senator Covington declared the res Iolution was in direct conflict with the act of congress which requires that each state legislature ballot on the sandidates for United States senator F he second Tuesday after the meeting Iand organization of the legislature i The resolution requested the state Democratic central committee to call 2 primary to settle the race for Unit ed States senator. 1t provided for the primary to be held not earlier than February 5 and not later than Feb ruary 28, 1913.
 The vote on the motion made by Senator Covineton was as follows: 1 Ayes Calvert, Christian, Clerget, Coy.ngton. Deaton, Futrell, Great ihouse, Harris, Hughes, Jacobson, Martin, Miles, McBee, Mccall, Over 'man, Smith, White and President Old ham.

 Immediately after the reading of inc journal Senator George L. Chris uan, the only member of the Bull
 Moose party in the Arkansas senate called up senate concurrent resolution

 mary to settle the race for the sena-
 tolia toga. Senator Webb Covingtor
 moyed to postpone further considera-

duced the county to build them a
shorter and better road, with the re-
suit that they now can market their
produce at a profit, whereas formerly
the greater part of their residue was
eaten up through the expense of mar
keting.
These are but isolated examples of
the results to be realized from good
roads. Hundreds of others may be
found, particularly in France, where
the science of road building has been
carried to its greatest perfection. So
perfect is the system of roads in many
parts of France that freighting is done
by team and auto truck in annually
increasing quantities, the railroads
reaping their share of the profits from
the increased tonnage of farm products
hauled to their tracks. England can
furnish the same story. New Jersey
has been building good roads since
1892. In Essex county farm values
have increased Al per cent in the last
decade, while taxes have decreased al
most so per cent. From North Caro-
lima comes similar intelligence, an in
stance being cited where, prior to the
campaign for permanent roads, it was
difficult to make the trip to market
with single bale of cotton drawn by
a team of sturdy mules. Now two

The wealth of Mexico in agricultural
mineral and natural resources has
proven so alluring that American rail
roads have entered the field with zest
and have expended millions of dollars
in construction of trunk lines and
branches reaching far into the interior
and tapping the richest sections of the
country. Apparently no attention has
been paid to the expense entailed in
reaching the goal, for canyons have
been trestled, mountains pierced and
rivers spanned that but few years
ago challenged the skill of the best
engineers. Rich valleys and mineral
laden mountains are thus reached in
this strangely unrestful country and
the scenic wonders of many portions

Failure of Present System Is in Upkeep

fit. A centralizing of the authority
in the county court seems to have been
the most effective method of dealing
with the problem of upkeep, close
supervision being found necessary if
the roads are to be kept in perfect re-
pair.
The necessity of the patrol system
is made more apparent from the widely
different effect of wagon and auto
traffic. The dust surface, kept con-
stantly forming by the travel of horses
and vehicles and so essential to the
permanency of the roads, is sucked up
and whisked away by the swiftly-mov.
ing motor, while the same motors wear
off no dust from the stones remaining
to take the place of that removed.
This condition has brought about much
experimenting in the making of sur
face, but as yet no solution has been
found. 1t has been demonstrated
however, that with an effective patrol
system one man can attend several
miles of road with a single horse and
cart, carrying with him some of the
materials for repairing and keeping
others in stations located at intervals
along his route. The expense incurred
in this manner is found to be slight.
the first cost proving to be practically
the full cost. In Europe road, once

mules will haul 12 bales of cotton any
month in the year over the same road.
A contemplation of the difference in
expense arising from these changed
conditions will convince the most skep.
tical of the value of a system of good
roads.
In many counties throughout the
United States, vast sums of money
have been spent for the construction of
permanent roads, but the most import
ant feature of the movement has been
overlooked. This is the upkeep of the
road after constructed. County officials
seem to regard the newly constructed
road as completed. The upkeep is neg
lected and almost before they know it
the surface is gone, the bottom has
been undermined and the work has to
be done again at the expense of the
taxpayer. To overcome this evil there
seems to be but one remedy-the pa
troll system. Properly organized, this
method of handling the roads will be
found inexpensive and efficient, the
road once constructed properly being
kept constantly in as good condition
as when new. Authority is distributed
among too many supervisors in the
majority of cases and each is given a
free hand for the maintenance of the
roads of his district as best he sees
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1913-01-24

constructed, is constantly watched and
kept In repair. In America it is sci.
dom touched after it is built. Here is
our mistake. In many countries the
best road-building materials are to be
found along the highway, thus reducing
TO minimum the cost of upkeep. It
has been found that about 20 per cent
OF the roads carry 30 per cent of the
traffic. The patrol system, adjusted to
meet this condition, would find the ND.
keep of the roads less frequently used
to be very light.
The reform of our system must begin
with repairing. Nothing speaks better
for a community than a system of ex.
cellent roads. Nothing is so discourag.
ing to the prospective settler or the
casual observer as good road full of
chuck-holes, the result of neglect. If
the patrol system is followed in this
country as it is in Europe, there will
be no bad stretches of road, for the
methods now known and advised bv
our government are superior to those
OF the old country. Until about three
years ago nothing had been done to
Dring the matter before the public.
Now the Importance of the automobile
as factor in road construction has
made imperative a close study of the
best methods in order that surface
may be kept that will not yield to the
suction of the soft pneumatic tire and
at the same time come within the limit
OF the Taxpayers pocketbook. With
the government to advise and with n
thorough upkeep system, this result
may be attained and the full benefits
OF permanent road system be de.
rived. A national association for high
way Improvement is the next stem in
this great movement.

Demand for Good Roads Becoming Nation Wide

From north and south, from east and
west comes, as if by a single voice,
the cry for better roads. The country
districts demand them to facilitate the
marketing of their crops. The towns
insist upon network of substantial
highways leading out into trade terri
tory, that the profits of their merchants
may become greater. The autoist de-
mands them to make possible the open
ing up of new territory for his bust
ness and pleasure. The public at large
demands them that land values may be
enhanced and the general good be in
creased. The agitation has reached into
county courts, state legislatures and
the national congress, SO that today an
awakened people are looking for the
best information as to road construc-
tion to be found. The subject is being
treated scientifically in the agricultural
schools; the government is flooding the
states with literature in which the re-
suits of careful scientific investigation
are set before the citizen without
charge. The result is a general de-
termination on the part of authorities
in every section of the United States
to get out of the rut and stand among
the progressive communities of the
country.
So great has been the agitation in
this country during the past few years
that congressman have been pressed by
constituents to secure the passage of
laws that would permit the govern
ment to participate in the road build
ing of the country. Nearly hundred

challenge the eye of the passing tourist
as do those of our own country. One
looks down from the rapidly-moving
train seemingly fathomless distances to
the Jagged bed of the canyon below;
or up toward the stars to where, hun
dreds of feet above, the mountain peak
pierces the blue, reaching, as it were,
for a closer communion with the in
finite; then the mountain is entered
and the train emerges after a spell,
upon change of scene that calls forth
new exclamations of admiration and
wonder.
The expenditure of so much money
in country so belligerent has brought
loss to the capitalist during the recent
months. For Mexico is country of

contestants. During the late revolu-
tions of Madero and Orozco bridges
were dynamited and trains wrecked,
the replacing of which entailed the
expenditure of millions of dollars.
Wherever the presence of bridge
proved of advantage to the enemy, it
was blown up with dynamite, and
whenever either faction could find a
trainload of the enemy's soldiers en-
route, the spreading of the rails, or
the undermining of trestle spelled
the doom of the entire force. Saber
and bayonet finished the work not ac-
complished by the wreck. But, despite
the losses incident to the revolutions,
repairs have been made and further
work projected. The best engineering
talent available is even now at work
on new construction proposals.
