Want Cinders Used

The News has heard it repeatedly urged that the policy of cinder cap ping a few miles of road each year, ought to be followed in the west end of the county the same as about Flagstaff. No wiser plan for secur- ing permanent roads could be adopted. If those parts of the roads most in need of cinders were picked out and first treated in this way. it would not be long until we would have roads that would be good in wet weather as well as in the dry season. A few miles so treated each year would soon add up to large milage.
 Just suppose that the road from Cureton's corner to a short distance beyond Rounseville's homestead, the gumbo portions of the road thru the big pines, and that across Dog Town flat were coated as beginn- ing. One mile of cinders, wisely placed would make the seven miles of road from Davenport In good shape even in wet weather. The same policy followed on the other roads about Williams would soon give us permanently good roads. And this is a policy that would pay we'll in the end for the reason that cinder capped road will last for years with very small up-keep expense.

Roads Getting in Good Shape

Two weeks ago last Saturday the editor of. the News rode over the road to Sellgman, and back. The COconino road from Williams to the county line west, made such a good showing compared with the Yavapai road that he felt impelled to write an article headed, "Roads Getting in Good Shape" Before the article was published, rain and snow came and put the road in bad shape once more. Since then the weather has relented and once again we may say. the roads are getting in good shape. GETTING in good shape. We venture no prediction as to how long 1t will be
 before they really reach that stage for the reason that it is useless to attempt to anticipate what the
 weather will be.

News is in favor of good main roads but not to the utter neglect of the roads for the ranchers. We believe that if the income which the town receives from tourists and that re- ceived from the ranchers were carefully compared, the balance would be many times in favor of the ranchers. Don't forget the rancher's roads. The one leading out around Three Sisters for one, needs some work done on it now.

Be Fair on the Road Question

People should be fair in their discussion of the road question. To be fair, it must at first be admitted that the road men have had a far worse season to contend with this year than has been known in Coco nino for a large number of years It will also have to be admitted that most of the difficulty which has been met with in the roads this year would never have appear ed if this winter and spring had been as mild as those of last year. This being granted and due allow ance being made, there still remain faults to be corrected, and faults which the people and the road work CTS should unite to overcome.
 Take Davenport lake, for in- stance, who is to blame there? The fill across that lake was too low for this years water. That would seem to throw the blame upon the constructors of that fill, upon the old Board of Supervisors. Yet that fill was made eighteen inches higher than the highest high water mark on record, at the time of it's con- struction. The new board would have had the lake drained weeks ago but were stopped in their efforts by the cattlemen. To an onlooker it appears that this fill might have been kept passible by small amount of work done to keep the ruts filled. Perhaps the workers have some excuse to offer for failing to do this, altho we do not know what it could be. The attempt to charge tolls there, was of course, indefensible.
 The blame for it, however, does not seem to rest with the Board or with the County Engineer.
 A lesson should have been learn ed in the construction of the bridge across the Cataract. This was not the first mistake ever made on Coconino county roads but it was a mistake and it is to be hoped that the services of an expert cement man will be secured to direct the construction of further cement work.
 When it comes to the question as to whether the road construction that has been done, has been done as economically per mile as should have been done, no one seems to have any definite proof to tue con. trary, and the grading done seems to have been well done, in a way that once the new bed has been packed, it will last for years.
 And don't fail for one thing, to give the present board of Supervisors credit for having been fair in the appointment allowed the west end.
 It is to be hoped that the public and the, road officials will unite amicably for the improvement of our roads. Let's give the road men a chance to show what they can do with good weather.

said that he should have known. AS
his inspector had been In the city for
the past several years. DR.. Schenck
also stated that he believed IL to be
the field of the State inspection to

districts In the proper sanitary care
of foods. rather than to go into the
cities already having an adequate ana

a reflection either expressed or i'm

Mr.. Dupuy has been the executive
head of the Virginian since the death

had no president. From time to
time there have been circulated in
Norfolk reports that railroad inter-
ests seeking to get control of the
Eirginian planned to name a presi-
dent and proceed with the extension
of the road to a western connection
and the Great Lakes. Several times
1t was reported that the board would
elect Mr.. Dupuy president and that
of the famous Rogers line would toll
low, but Mondays action came quiet
important DEVELOPMENTS in the career
ly. and with bare announcement OF
the election.
Mr.. Dupuy returned to Norfolk
Yesterday morning from New York.
Last night, although a strenuous sea
effort was made to locate him, he
could not 'Le found. None of the
other officials of the Nirginian, who
were asked last night for information,
