ERS INSPECT
NEW ROAD
HIGHLY PLEASED WITH MANNER
IN WHICH 1T HAS WITHSTOOD
ELEMENTS, AND WILL USE 1T
FOR A MODEL IN THE FUTURE.

The board of county commissioners
adjourned yesterday afternoon after a
session in which a mass of business
was disposed of. Yesterday afternoon
the board inspected the two miles of
gravel road leading from the city lin.
its northeast to the Chickasaw lake,
to see how it has stood the test of the
heavy rains OF this season.
Commissioner Young stated this
morning that he was more than pleas
ed and a good deal surprised to see
the condition of the road. He stated
that it looked as if a drop of rain had
never fallen upon it, and that it was
getting as hard and firm as a rock.
This road was built by popular sub
scription together with a donation
from the county commissioners. of
six hundred dollars, under the super
vision of the state highway depart
ment and is going to be the model for
all road building in this county from
now on, Mr.. Young stated that he was
going to begin as soon as possible to
extend the road from the Chickasaw
lake property on through to Berwyn,
built in identically the same way as
the two miles was constructed. There
is bad place in the Caddo bottoms
that will have to be filled, but this
will be done, and as the river never
1verflows at this point, there will then
be a fine road from this city to Ber-
Syn, from Berwyn on to Springer, and
rom Springer back to this city. Mr. !
Wilson at Springer has offered to do I
late a lot of work toward the road 1
between this city and that place. The /
county commissioners are paying /
more attention to permanent road I
in the county than ever be- I
ore since statehood, and it is their
lesire to make every mile permanent 4
n the future and not have to rebuild |
t added expense, roads constructed in
temporary manner, that are washed
way by the first rains and are con-
erted into impossible bogs.
Asked when he proposed to begin
IN this road, Mr.. Young stated that

which was destroyed by fire some time
ago, to the Hargrove college proper
ty, they soon came to an understand
department for some time, and it be-
gins to look now as if the school might
be opened here before the first of the

negotiations for the Hargrove proper
ty, they coon came to an understand
ing with the Deming Investment Com
pany who held a mortgage of six
teen thousand dollars on the prop
erty, for its sale, but when it came to
perfecting the title, it was found to
be faulty. For this reason negotia-
tions were suspended until the mat
ter was Strengthened out, and last
night Jack Simmons, representing the
investment company, was here from
Oklahoma City, and stated that the
had complied with every re-
quest of the department, the papers
had been forwarded to Washington,
and he expected the money to be
paid over in a few days.
Mr.. Simmons stated that he under
stood that some extensive additions
were to be built for the accommoda.
ion of the students, more additions to
he school building proper, and the
erection of more dormitories. besides
cottages for the superintendent and
eachers.

accessible regions of this state, such
as the territory for fifty miles around
Soto La Marina, thousands have eaten

Hopeful view taken by some is
that prevailing famine conditions are
not due to agricultural or economic
conditions; but are caused by con-
slant military operations and conse-
tuent interruption of communication

a hunger truce between the factions
might save hundreds of thousands of
