the old Jackson military road. the
ridges are followed as much as possi- |
BILE. so that there is the fewest mum.
Der of climbs even in this, the most
broken part Of the route. --.s
"On the central Alabama route, there
are mountains to be crossed or circum-.
vented. All the country north and
south of Birmingham is more broken
and mountainous than any part of the
old route, From Montgomery west,
the proposed route follows lengthwise
the prairie formation and the same
thing is true west of Selma, while the
old route by Florence and Columbus,
Miss, crosses the prairie at right
angles and at practically its narrow
est point. 1t is a well known fact that
it is very difficult to maintain road
across this prairie section, because of
the character of the soil and the diff
Guilty of securing adequate drainage.
Even rock-surfaced roads are not sure,
because in the long winter rainy seas
ons the core of. the road is liable to
become soft and give way beneath the
surface finish.
"Oh the Jackson military road there
are but four rivers of any magnitude.
There are good steel bridges over the
Tennessee at Florence, Ala; over the
Tombigbee at Columbus, Miss, and
over the Leaf at Hattiesburg, Miss.
Thus, onlytthe Pearl in the extreme
southern part of Mississippi, is to be
bridged, and a bridge across the Pearl
in that section would not be difficult
or expensive undertaking.
"On the central Alabal lha route there
is no bridge over the Tennessee and
no bridge over the Tombigbee at Jack
son, Ala. Between Mobile and New
Orleans are the Bayou of Pascagoula
and the Bay of st, Louis, which are
both wide water courses in a marshy
country. Yet these must be crossed if
the highway follows the proposed cen.
tral Alabama route. There are Meth.
er bridges across these streams nor
levees across these marshes. Both are
absolutely necessary to have good
roads in this section.
Construction Difficulties.
There are no unusual difficulties to
be met in the construction of good
road along the route of the old Jack
son military road. 1t is simply a mat
ter of going ahead. Through nearly
it's whole extent there is excellent
road-building material in easy reach
consisting of sand, clay, gravel and
rock. Nearly all the streams have
good bridges over them, and, where
good roads are already built or in
process of building, these bridges are
lof steel and concrete.
"These same facts do not apply tc
the Central Alabama route, In sec
tions of that route, the building of g
good highway will be exceedingly cost
ly, because of the character of the
country through which the route pass
es. For instance, over the section be
tween Mobile and New Orleans, 1t will
be practically impossible to maintain {

travel from Nashville into Mississippi.
1t was all that time, and is now, known
as the Jackson military road. So well
known is the road that Senator Under
wood, in his speech at Nashville, said:
If it were the question of locating
Jackson military highway, no other
road would have any right to the name
as compared with years. In trying to
minimize a historical fact, he claimed
that the convention should locate
Jackson memorial highway, and that
it would be no infringement on the
name of the Jackson military highway
to employ the name Jackson memorial
highway to an entirely new route. The
substitution of memorial for military
would be an argument in favor Of
building a memorial road along the
original route, for the location Of the
Jackson highway along the route Sc
lected by Jackson himself would not
only make it all the more a memorial,
but also commemorate one of Jack
sons greatest achievements.

Comparative Topography.

For the most part, the route along
the Jackson military road is through
a comparatively level country. 1t was
this fact that caused Jackson and his
engineers to select this route in prefer
ence to any other, when all this sec
ton of the country was a wilderness
and any route might have been chosen.
From Columbus, Miss, south, the hills
are few and far between and those
that must be climbed are of small con-
sequence. Between Nashville and Co.
lumbus, Miss, while the country is
more broken, still the difficulties of
travel are small, so far as hills and
mountains are concerned, because Of
the fact that the government engineers
who laid out the route chose the lines
Of least resistance. On this part of

BOARD
TO rule TODAY
ON PLEASANT0N

AT a meeting of the liquor license
commission, scheduled for a late hour
this afternoon, the application of the
Pleasantcn hotel for selling privileges
was to be taken up again and prob
ably definitely denied.s The attorney
general gave an opinion several days
ago on this matter. ruling that the
board must take action, and since the
petition does not meet the laws re-
quirements the board could hardly do
otherwise than reject 1t.
The beard was prepared TO act on
the petition at its last meeting several
weeks ago, but the disclosure was
made that it did not carry the neces-
sary number of signatures of property
owners and the petitioner then asked
permission to withdraw It, for the
purpose Of seeking to remedy the de-
feet The attorney-general holds that
permission Of withdrawal should not
be granted when it plainly is sought
as a means Of evading adverse action
by the commission.
The only other application which it
is understood was to be considered is
that OF S. Kubey, for q general whole
sale license, somewhat similar to the
one held at present by Joel c. Cohen.

TRAFFIC OFFICER
IS DRAGGED BY A
HORSE, UNHURT
Policeman Aea Clings to Reins
of BoIting Animal and
Brings II to Stop

In attempting TO force Japanese
driver Of a fr1sky celt to obey the
traffic ordinance John s. Aea, new
patrolman on duty at Fort and King
streets, was dragged more than coo
feet this morning after the horses
bride had been broken and the colt
had started on a Wild dash UP the
street.
According TO Supervisors Horner
and Quinn, who were eye-witnesses,
the japanese, riding in a one-seated
buggy, drove across King street and
ignored the signals OF the traffic offl-
Ger. The Japanese refused TO stop
when the policeman made such an
order, according 10 bystanders, and
the officer grabbed the bride OF the
horse. The colt became frightened,
the bride broke and with the police
man hanging on the animal turned
up Fort street and made a wild dash
Of more than a block before II was
brought to halt.
The policeman was not injured and
be promptly took horse, buggy and
Japanese 70 the poli2e station where
the driver was booked on a charge OF
violating the traffic ordinance Crowds
standing on the sidewalk who wit
messed the act of the patrolman
cheered him as he returned leading
the horse, with the Japanese follow

BIG BOND SALE
TO CLEVELAND IS
NOW CERTAINTY
Change May Be Made in Detail
of $400, 900 Blocks
Delivery

The sale OF the 100000 block OF
territorial bonds to Otis K Co. OF
Cleveland is considered closed, the
purchasers taking II, as told in the
ar-Bulletin yesterday, at price of
one cent above par, or $10o0.10 for
every $1,000 bond. A change may be
made in the details of the blocks de
livery to them, however.
Treasurer Mccarthy has written
Otis & Co. suggesting that they agree
to take the bonds on March Is next,
instead Of March 5. as at present pro
posed. The first interest coupon on
the new bonds falls due March 10, and
II the firm takes them March II
will necessitate the payment Of inter
est by the territory for the 10 days,
on the first coupons. This is an item
of small Importance but would tend
to complicate the transaction and be
really not worth the bother, either for
the purchasers or the territory While
the territory may not insist on the
brief delay Treasurer Mccarthy be-
lieves the Cleveland people will gladly
acquiesce in it.
As already stated, the money real
lied, 100000, will be available for
public use here as soon as the paper
is delivered in New York city. The
manner and the items on which it
will be spent was determined by the
legislature Of two years ago. II goes
into appropriations, chiefly for the
reconstruction or extensive repair OF
three local wharves and the approach,
wharf shed and warehouse at the
new Kuhio bay pier at Hilo
Plans for these improvements are
either well under way or finished. In
the case of the Hilo wharf bids are
to be opened shortly for the building
Of the shed. Everything probably
will be In readiness to begin active
work on practically all these projects
just as soon as the funds become
available. By this method the money
on which the territory will be paying
interest will be put into use and be-
gin making return for the territory
and the public at the earliest possible
moment
