The Road Problem.

/ To have good roads is a problem
that has been and is now uppermost
in the minds Of farmers and travel
ing people in general, in fact every
body. Our present road system does
not seem to satisfy the demand for
good roads. In the first place to
macadamiZe them is too expensive on
taxpayers for the return they get-
1t may be all right for those living
along macadamized roads, as travel
I'M j. made easy for those, but, the
great majority OF taxpayers receive
no benefit therefrom yet must bear
the greater part of the cost in con-
Gtructing such roads. The one solu-
ton OF this question Is simply this.
There must be road system in
operation that will BE- benefit to all.
"a system on the order OF the one
governing railroads, viz: AS soon as
weak spot shows in any part of
the road bed repair IL at once, have
man to go over the road once or
twice a week for the purpose of de-
tecting such spots and repairing
them, which will be according to the
old saying: "A stitch in time saves
nine" Give man a part or the
road, say or 10 miles to see after
and pay him salary for his atten-
ton and work.
Scraping a road once in a year ~
all right but not sufficient by any
means to have a good road. Think
of railroad with one Oh two days
repair work put on it In a whole
year, what would become Of it, why
no train could be run over 1t at all.
Some one may say such a system
would be too expensive. In my esti-
nation the expense would not be
near a. much as 1t is to build State
roads at $4,000 to $4,000 per mile
for the benefit of a few.

CLIFTON CHAPPELL

Clifton, the oldest son of Sidney A. and Julia Chappell, died at the home of his parents in Hot Springs on June 1st after an illness of three weeks.
 He was born in Prescott, Ark, June 11th, 1902, and lived here until four years ago when the family moved to Hot Springs.
 In his death the parents sustain a great loss, as he was boy of rare ability. He completed the grade school this year and was advanced in intellect far beyond his years. He had many friends in Prescott who mourn his loss.
 The father, mother, brother and sis ters have the sympathy of their many friends in Prescott and Nevada. County.
