UNIVERSAL APPROVAL.

Whatever may be said in favor of or opposition to this or that other project for the advancement of Hot Springs, everything is favorable to the subject of good roads.
 Nobody denies but that good roads would help Hot Springs as a resort. Nobody but seems to regard good roads as an essential. Everywhere it is known that we could build roads cheap by comparison with other sec. tions of the country
 So, if everything else fails, let us by all means have a 100 miles of good roads in Garland county. con- meeting with the Little Rock road, and forming a nucleus for the ocean-ts- ocean highway.
 Florida and California, our rivals for resort patronage boast of ther good roads They have good roads But their good roads stretch over an expanse of ocean front that is a same ness from end to end Our goou roads would wind through valleys and gorges, over hills, through wooded country, and our visitors would never tire of the sights of nature.
 Roads can not be built without money. The present revenue is in- sufficient The improvement district plan, whereby bonds might he issued would answer the question. It is tims that the suggestion of County Judge Mooney was acted upon. The inn provement district plan. as Judge Mooney suggests, makes the building of the road free from politics and poitiea influences. The taxpayers elect their commissioners and the commissioners do the work.
 So, if we can having nothing else to advertise as feature for resort patronage in the coming years, we can at least have good roads, if we will take immediate steps for the for mation of an improvement district of Garland county.

 The mineral resources of the terri tory between Hot Springs and Ash down on the K c.

This office is temporarily established at 50S Citizens National Bank Building, and we are now assembling a cOllec- ton of Kaolin, Fuller's Earth, MaTl, Phosphate Rock, Lead.

When some one tries to tell you
about the advantages of some other
state, just remind them that Iowa has
six thousand factories and that among
these are six of the largest industries
of their kind in the world and SIX
