finished up their work on the Mari

all of the worst hills were graded.
The right of way was changed near
c. J. Billiards and some other slight
changes were made, taking out some
of the curves. At Mud Creek a fill
was made and bridge put in. The
work done is quite an improvement TO
the road. The crew has spent just
little more than 80 days here and
some time was spent in working the
adjacent roads. They have done
good work.
We want to speak in behalf of the
citizens here and thank the County
Commissioners, Supt p. H. Randall

provement on our road. We hope the
Commissioners will see fit to return
the crew and put on top soil at an

ready to help in this part of the
work
A number of our citizens wanted
to show the road crew their appre-
citation of the good work done and
on Saturday the good ladies prepared
dinner and on Sunday while all of
the crew was in the dinner was car
ried to the camp and was spread for
the bosses, guards, and convicts, all
of whom seemed to be highly pleased
with the treat.

sure, but President Thompson said
1t must be understood that the mem
bers or the association are of the
opinion that more can be accomplish
ed by working with those in favor
of such legislation than by opposing
them. The present bill, he said. is
defective, inasmuch as it does not
limit the loans on farm lands, and
the proposed scale of loans, so per
cent of value on improved lands and
40 per cent on unimproved farm land
is excessive
"In the general discussion that
followed several members called at
tention to the provision of the pend
ing law which allows loans on unim-
proved farm land to the extent of 40
per cent This was denounced as
dangerous and calculated to promote
an era of wildcat speculation.
