GOOD ROADS IN GALVESTON.

American Motorist.
"Good roads" has become the by
word in Galveston county. Texas, and
the auto tourist who enters Texas
and leaves the state without expert
encing the pleasure of run over the
Houston is unwise These roads form
a part of a system of shelled roads
that have become famous. The main
road forms the southernmost portion
of the Colorado -to-Gulf highway
which will end on Galveston's vitrified
brick boulevard, that stretches four
parallel with the famous seawall, and
commands an excellent view of the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This
main road leaves the heart of the city
of Houston and runs southwark thru
Webster, League City, Dickinson anc
La Margue, then across the great
causeway that connects Galveston is
land with the mainland.
On the island side of the causeway
the country shelled road is available
to the city limits of Galveston, where
it connects with Galveston's splendid
system of shelled streets. The aver
age amount of time consumed in this
trim of so miles is but two hours. The
electric cars of the Galveston-Hous-
ton interurban line make the trip in
one hour and forty minutes. The fact
that automobiles on the shelled road
require but 90 minutes longer for the
trip than is required by the electric
cars is proof of the excellence of the
road. This road is wide and carries
a thick cap of hard clay under broad
crown of crushed shell. This mater
ial has proven extremely durable
under the most trying weather con-
ditions, and the roads are easily
passable after the hardest and most
continuous rains. Within two years
Galveston county has appropriated
s75O,OOO for the construction and
maintenance of these roads, and very
recently the city of Galveston set
aside s15O,0O0 for extending Gal
veston's system of shelled streets.
Many beauty spots are found along
these roads and the delight of the
trip is enchanced by the shade of the
tall pines through which the tourist
passes for miles. Reaching the vi
cinity of Galveston, the tourist is
rewarded with a view of Galveston's
new causeway, 16,675 feet long by
1l9 feet wide, constructed of con-
crete. The mass of material used in
the building of this causeway consist
ed of 1920 tons of reinforced metal,
625 tons of tie rods, 74,4O0 cubic
Yards of concrete, 805,6G0 cubic
wards of dirt filling, 172,0S1 lineal
feet of concrete filling, 246,s2O lineal
feet of wooden piling in foundations,
10000 cubic yards of gravel, 3O,OOO
cubic wards of sand, and S1,500 bar
rels of cement; all of which would be
sufficient to construct several great
pyramids of Egypt. This engineer
ing masterpiece cost more than $2,-
10000 and is source Of pride to
Galveston, to Texas and to large
number of Americans residing with
out the state.
The real surprise Of the trip is re-

Senator Fall OF New Mexico in a

States on Monday set before the
world some startling facts relative
to conditions in Mexico. And, though
We say that he Is a Republican, and
Is. therefore. hostile to the admins

state and is animated by prejudices;
that he is speaking because of per-
n interest or sympathy in mat
ters or men in Mexico: hat he is a
lingo, or that he is seeking noto-
riety. not one of these accusations
will in the least mitigate the horror
OF what his speech discloses nor will
all taken together discredit the evil

that there have been officially
brought to light no fewer than sixty
tour cases Of wanton murder Of Amer
lean citizens since the beginning of
the Madero revolution. and that
American women have been violated.
He does not make any ~specious or
