PAVED HIGHWAYS
REUNION TRAVELS
Jacksonville Has Many High
Class Roads to Points
of Interest
Trips to Be Taken Over Them In Az.
tomobiles During the Reunion Of
confederates May 6, z, 8.

Jacksonville, Fla, April.-It Is safe
to say that hundreds, and possibly
thousands, of visitors to Jacksonville
during the week of the great Reunion
OF Confederate Veterans and Sons OF
veterans, will make the trip from
their homes in automobiles. Numer.
Gus inquiries have been received from
all parts Of the country concerning
road conditions, and especially in re.
gard to the practicability of reaching
other points In Florida by automobile
trips from Jacksonville.
For the information of auto owners,
DESTROYS Of bringing their cars to
Jacksonville at the time of the Re-
union, attention is called to the fact
that the city license books show that
there are over 1000 licensed automo-
biles in the city of Jacksonville alone,
and during the past winter season
more than $500 motcr-driven vehicles
have passed through Jacksonville en-
route to various places on the Florida
peninsula. Unless there were fairly
good roads, leading from jacksonville
to other sections of the State, there
would not have been one-tenth as
many cars In Florida this season, and
the home people of Jacksonville would
not have invested so heavily in motor
vehicles.
Duval county, Of which Jacksonville
Is the county seat, was among the first
of the Florida counties to issue road
Improvement bonds and to begin the
paving of its highways with vitrified
paving brick and concrete. With a |
population Of only $4,000 in 1909. this
county issued road improvement bonds
that year to the amount of 81 900 900,
and 1t was provided that not more
than $250.000 was to be expended in |
road construction each year for four |
years. The bonds were sold at a |
handsome premium and the money
has all been expended on the roads of
the county. with a result that this
county now has some of the very best
In the South, and these roads are a
Joy to the joyrider and to all persons
who use them.
But this Is not all; for the Board of
County Commissioners Is at the pres
mt time working up interest in q

way four hundred feet in width and
twenty miles in length. Here is the
ideal automobile course and 1t is Wis
Tied by thousands of cars every year.
From the city to the seashore the
county has constructed a magnificent
boulevard, paved with vitrified brick
and with concrete for the entire dis
lance Hundreds of cars traverse this
Atlantic Boulevard, as 1t is known,
daily, and during the Reunion many
thousands of visitors will make the
trip by auto to the beach Once on
the seashore they will find much to
interest them. Surf bathing will be
at its best during the Reunion week
and many visitors from interior points.
who have never before had the oppor-
tunity to plunge into the big breakers
of Old Ocean, will find the experience
novel and delightful one.
From Jacksonville to st. Augustine
the distance by auto is 3S miles and
the trip is easily made in two hours.
In fact, the record for the trip is one
hour and nine minutes, but that is al
most too fast for a trip to the Oldest
city in the United States.
The road from South Jacksonville.

the going is good. Then comes six
miles of brick paving over which the
cars fairly skim along. The next four /

not yet been paved, but a temporary

fifteen miles from the city. This road
Is well paved with shell for the entire

themselves are an attraction to ALI.

Miss Johnson he knew it was a case
Of love. With the young woman It
was apparently the same.
Before the messenger boy left the
house they arranged to be married,
although they had never seen one an
other prior to that meeting.
A few days later the young woman
came to this city from her home
in an automobile, called Gray by tele-

ried,
After riding around for several
hours in the machine, Mrs. Gray bade
her husband keep the marriage Sc

no more from her until he received

she was dying, and bidding him come

apologies having been made for pre-

Mr., Wilson denied that at any time
during the negotiations prior to to-
day had Huerta offered to fire any
salute, though some subordinate of
ficials did attempt to sound out the
American government on the question
of saluting the Dolphin. That was
regarded as a private salute to the
Dolphin and not to the American flag,
and was declined. The president made
it clear that orders to the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets had not been changed.
No Time Limit Fixed
No time limit has been set for the
salute according to the president and
final word of the Huerta offer had
not been passed at 3 o'clock p. m. 1t
appeared that Huerta's offer would be
accepted but the president would have
no comment to make until the salute
was fred Mr.. Wilson spoke of his
hope that the present situation would
mot require going to congress to de-
liver a message. He declared that
there was ample precedent for the
executive branch Of the government
to land marines and declare a pacific
blockade, but said that inasfhhch as
congress was in session he would go
to congress if an emergency arose.
Mr.. Wilson disparaged the idea of
pacific blockade as futile move
to enforce a demand inasmuch as 1t
merely would shut off Mexico from
commercial intercourse witH the Unit
ed States and the question had never
been definitely determined in inter
national law as to whether the ships
Of other nations could be prevented
under such a blockade from engaging
in commerce with Mexican ports
