ENGINEER
ON ROAD-MAKING
Continued from first page)

Los Angeles County in the past five
years has constructed three hundred
and twenty five miles of paved road,
principally of the type known as oil
bound macadam, at a cost of three
and one-half million dollars. Kern
County just north of here recently
voted $1,750,000.00 for good roads.
Orange County on our south has a
million and quarter devoted to the
construction of roads similar in type
to the state highway. Riverside Coun-
ty has set aside $1,125,0 100000 for
concrete roads.
Farther south, San Diego County
completed her highway work under a
million and a half bond issue nearly
two years ago. San Diego was one
of the first counties of this state to
start the good roads movement, build
ing several hundred miles of road,
mostly unpaved, but through soil
composed largely of disintegrated
granite (quite similar to the rock in
the bluffs below Redwood Falls). These
roads open up a wonderful back coun-
try of mountains, cannons and valleys.
The visitor of 1915, or any other year,
will be repaid thousandfold for all
time and money spent in the pictures
que back country of San Diego. I
worked ten months in that county, so
know whereof | speak.
Take Your Blanket With You
am not familiar enough with the
road building of the northern and
central counties to give any informa-
ton. Undoubtedly they are not far
behind southern California. So you
can figure out for yourself what a
treat you have in store when you
travel through this state. Come by
auto if possible. Bring blanket roll
and camp outfit 1t is economical
and sometimes necessity, and "ev-
erybody's doing it." You may doubt
my word, but seeing is believing"
Where ! have just been working, on
the road between Santa Anna and
Whittier, I have seen every day lit
orally hundreds of auto parties car
rying camp equipment.
These happy tourists travel through
the state, to beaches and mountains
Independent of hotels and towns when
they so choose, dependent only upon
the fullness of the grub box and the
gas tank. Wayside stores are scat
tered all over this blessed country,
and they are invariably auto supply
stations. Some "towns" | know con-
sist Of but two places of business, a
general store and garage.
Enough is enough. | fear have
long since passed that point, though
| have only made fair beginning.
Our good roads are certainly worthy
of many boost and brag. Califor-
mia has an infinite number of beau
ties, attractions, features, call them
what you will-you are all more or
less familiar with them.
We hope to see many of you out
here next year. Redwood Falls has
a beauty all her own. Nowhere out
here have as yet seen anything to
compare with it. But come and see !,
a few hundred other varieties of the
wonders and beauties of this earth.
ks5 Adios,
EDGAR AIKEN.

these amiable qualities are conspicuous
by their absence in regard TO Germany.

Swiss Would Fight.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Doubting
a report from Paris that the Four
teenth Austrian army corps had in
vaded Switzerland, the Swiss legation
here today announced emphatically
that if the neutrality OF its country
had been violated, 10000 Swiss SOL
diers would have resisted bitterly the
advance of the Austrians.
"The neutrality of SwitzerlanG Will
not be violated by any country with
out resistance said the secretary of
the Swiss legation today. The report
probably is confused somewhere, the
proba bility being the Austrians are
located along the border. Had they
crossed the border and entered Swift
zerland am sure that bitter opposi-
ton would have been met.
"Switzerland does not want to enter
this war. but its neutrality will be up
held if necessary by force"

Double Header for the Price of One
Admission to be Offered
Here Tomorrow
Afternoon
HOLIDAY PROCLAIMED
Mayor Moorhead to Proclaim Hall
Holiday Wednesday on Account
of Game With St.
Louis.

double header for the price of
one admission will be played between
keokuk and Waterloo tomorrow after
noon IN order to make up for the game
that will be lost on the schedule when
the Indians meet the ST. Louis Ameri-
can league team at the ball park here
Wednesday Of this week. The first
game tomorrow afternoon will be call
ed at 2:15, the usual time for the first
fray in a double bill.
The Jays are now giving Muscatine
the hottest kind of fight for the
leadership of the league, and it can be-
depended on that the Indians will do
their best to make a good showing be-
fore the home fans after their dfsas-
trous trip on the road. Both games
should be good ones and the one ad-
mission charge should draw a big rep
resentation of local bugs.
The biggest boost for the St. Louis
Browns game here Wednesday was
made today when the mayor assured
Secretary Fred H. Overton, of the
baseball association. that half holi-
day would be proclaimed for the af-
ternoon Of the game Merchants will
be asked to close their places of
business on this day. The grocers are
always closed on Wednesday after
moons, and this is big step toward
getting the other places Of business
to close their doors
Requests are coming in from all
sides for tickets for this game and
present indications point toward a
record breaking crowd. Every fan in
Keokuk Is being depended upon to at
tend and besides these there will be
a large number from cities and towns
in the vicinity and from the country
around Keokuk.
The receipts from this game are be-
ing depended upon to amount to
enough to finance the club for the rest
OF the year. Subscriptions cannot be
collected to any extent at this time Of
the year, while at the same time the
club Is badly in need Of money.
