BOARD OF HEALTH DOES
NOT FAVOR DEER PARK

Following the preparation Of deer
park just east Of Cook Park by f. f..
Cook, to receive the deer to come
from the asylum at Ionia. it was
found that in the opinion Of the board
of health of this city the placing of
the deer park would not be sanitary.
As a result the completion of the
park and consequently the placing of
the deer has been delayed. The mat
ter will probably be left to a district

CHICAGO TO MIAMI.

Six Governors met in confer
,ence at Chattanooga about a
great highway.
A conference of the Governors
Illinois. Indiana, T e m SIS ee,
Georgia and Florida, has been
called by Gov. Samuel H. Rails
ton, of Indiana, and met in Chat
,tanooga April 3, 1915. for the
purpose of taking definite formal
action looking toward the build
ing of through main highway
from Chicago and South Bend,
Indiana, to Miami, Florida.
The chief executives invited by
Governor Ralston to meet with
him in conference were, Gov.
Edward F. Dunno, of Illinois,
Gov. James B. McCreary, of
Kentucky, Gov. Tom C. Rye, of
Tennessee, Gov. John M. Stay
ton, of Georgia and Gov. Park
'Trammell, of Florida.
The cold-biooded logic of this
highway and its national import
@ance. have caught the attention
of some of the nations most
prominent men of affairs.
As there are competing routes
Soetween designated centers,
Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville,
Nashville. Atlanta, Macon, Jack
ssonviIle and Miami were repre-
scented by big delegations of
Dixie Highway" enthusiasts.
Tt has been shown by good au-
rtherity that the most practical
sway for this road is through
louisville, Campbellsville, Co.
ilumbia, Greensboro, Albany,
Byrdstown and Crossville, Tenn.
where it connects with Bristol to
Memphis State Highway.
The road from Crossville tC
within ten miles of Chattanooga,
lis on the level plateau of Sigma
mountains, which is 1000 feet
high.
There is ten miles of the mos
expensive road on the whole lire
completed and in perfect condi
tion, running out from Chatta
2nooga to the top of Signal Mount
ain, in the direction of Cross
vile. When this gap is com
pleted through Southern Ken
Gucky, through Adair, Russell
and Clinton counties, to the Ten
nessee State line, it will shorter
the distance 100 miles, and Their
will be 100 miles of this road Of
the top of the c u m b e r a n
Plateau, through some of tn
most beautiful scenery in Amer
ica.
There are many sentiments
reasons, among others. for pre-
.viding a highway from the HON
The Adair County news., 1915-04-21

routes. That is to say, when a
county has within its borders a
road that will be a connecting
link in a through route, it will
doubtless be built first.
This is true of the Boone way
running from Central Ken
lucky, to Cumberland Gap, the
Jefferson Davis highway, run
ming from Paducah to Bowling
Green. the Central Lincoln way,
from Louisville, South, and the
Sandy Valley road running from
Ashland up the Big Sandy river
to Pikeville.
Mr.. Terrell states further Ken
lucky will expend under the
State Aid plan about 81, 200, 900
and something like 81, 700, 900
will be expended by the counties
other than by State Aid plan.
Five counties have voted on
bonds to the total extent of ST.
100000 and in the next two
months Is caunties more will
vote on a total of $4,000. 900
worth of bonds.
From the above facts it seems
that Adair, Russell and Clinton
counties should sit up and take
notice of all we'll managed pros
porous counties, who are making
fights for these grand through
roads.
If we are in line between these
great centers and they call on
us for a helping hand either from
Louisville or Chattanooga we
should all to a man come forward
and help.
When shown some considera-
ton. These mountain counties
are very generous and doubtless
would gladly join in financing
this good move within their bor-
ders.
Adair county this year will
build about 10 miles of pike and
4 miles will be on Columbia anC
Albany road.
It will not be very hard to re
move the gates from the Camp
bellsville and Columbia "boule
ward" in Adair county which WI
understand, has been changing
hands for the consideration OF
5000 and thanks.
We have only two things t.

essary for a through main high

way.
Aside from these. the confer
ence of Governors and open con.
in the interest of what
has been commonly called the
Dixie Highway" is the result
of the widespread recognition of
the insistent demands of the
tourist of the Northern States
for such a highway. 1t is in a
measure the outgrowth of the
realization of what it means,
measured in dollars and cents, to
the States which it traverses and
to the, nation.
1t has stirred up the shoulder
ing embers of a local appreciation
of the Importance of connecting
up trade centers in their own
communities and famed it into a
blaze of enthusiasm all along the
route. For highway which
will serve the purpose of con-
Meeting their immediate trade
centers, and providing a through
main highway from the extreme
North to the extreme South.
Given the opportunity to trav-
ell in his automobile, in comfort,
from Chicago to Louisville, Chat
tanooga, Atlanta, Jacksonville
and Miami, leaving a trail of
new money in his wake, the tour
list will be amply repaid by what
the Dixie Highway" and the
territory through which it pass
es, will provide in scenic, histor-
ical and industrial attractions.
These attractions together
with the short time required to
get into the heart of the new
South, the natural inclination to
seek a warmer climate in winter,
the possibility of combining bus
mess with pleasure and the in
ability to tour abroad have made
the demand for the highway on
the part of the tourist, so urgent
that it can be understood.
Some fog.headed, close listed
fellow may argue that a road OF
this kind would only benefit a
few, and the tourist will not be
benefited but that is not the case.
The great highway would be
the trunk line or vine, and the
narrow neighborhood roads
would be the branches.
The wide-awake tourist repre-
sent a class, who have money Il
invest. and are always keenly
alert for good investments
There are many great opportuni
! ties in Southern Kentucky fol
! profitable investments, and i,
we can get some one to visit Vi
who has money, he will certain
ly see opportunities we neve
dream of.

Pctrograd, March 1T is the opinion
Of Baron Roman Rosen that the war
should lead 10 an entirely new concep-
tion of international political relations.
Armed peace, he points out, has been a

Baron Rosen was formerly Russian
