Elko had rather expected to win the
track meet but it was not at all sure
of the baseball game. Neither Claw
! son or Fernald were there and their
places had to be filled with less ex'
perienced sones. But they kept their
heads In the tight places much as II
| they had been veterans, and it is due
J to this fact that the score stood as 1t
4 4 @ft
Elko took the lead with 81 score
in the first inning and they kept 1t un
til the end although they were hard
pushed at times. Turner started the
game as pitcher for the Elko boys and
kept the hits well scattered for six
innings. He was then replaced by
Porter who pitched until the last hall
Of the ninth when Mayer took his
place.

 The preliminary work of locating the route and getting cities, towns iind rural people interested has already done much tc stimulate interest in bet ter roads. The various commercial: organizations interested in the high way have had meetings, closer com mercial and industrial relations are being discussed, and an optimistic feeling of cooperation has started.
 Such highway can not pass through every state and every county In every state it teaches, but every county and state can have highways and better country roads. While the various highways are being located and worx started, let every community begin by holding meetings and talking good roads. Let the good roads sentiment be started in every community and while there is talk let the work be- gin. l. will require interest, time and money to build reads, but if the peo- pie are really in earnest roads can be built We are paying for good roads in our loss on acccunt of bad roads.
