ROAD cosnuTTEE ACTIVITIES

One of the great elements in the
growth and development OF Liberal
is good roads. The past few weeks
has found the, roads committee busy
cooperating with the county COM
missioners in the work being done on
the road running north out of Lib
eral. Commissioner Fuest has been
especially active in taking the COM
mittee over the ground and oversee
ing the work. The road. when COM
pleted. will be one Of the best in this
part of the country. The township
road running east to the Blue Bell
district has been brought up for con-
sideration at special meeting. The
road problem is one Of vital interest
to every farmer and they should give
the committee their hearty co-opera-
ton in all of its projects.

COUNTY EDITORS MEETING.

Friday of last week some OF the
editors of the county met at Mis-
souri, Valley and were very pleas
antly entertained by Editor Sniff.
Master Mechanic Graham of the
shops and the Commercial club of
that city. The editors organized
a Ben Franklin club, with A. II.
Sniff president, j. b. Mcknight
secretary, and c.. w. Bays vice
president. The purpose of the
club is to promote the friendly
spirit among the workers of the
press of the county. G.. l.. Cas-
we'll. state secretary of the Iowa
Press association. met with them
for few hours.
The visit TO the shops was
greatly enjoyed. There is a great
improvement there over the shops,
as the Observer editor knew them
when he worked there i'm 1889.
Mr.. Graham has charge of loco
motives and car repairing on al
most $500 miles of trackage and
the capacity amounts to thirty
locomotives per month. Almost
200 cars per month are taken
care of and there were 157 in the
shop and yards the day we were
There. There were not many ia
miliar faces among the workmen
in the shops, though we saw and
spoke to John Seeley, whose early
life was spent north of Magnolia,
and who has been connected with
the shops for many years. We
also met Peter jacobsen who was
an apprentice at IS cents a day
twenty -siX years ago, but now
owns two or three farms and sew
eral residence properties in Mis-
souri, Valley as a result of his
close attention to business and
saving little each month. The
payroll of the shops now amounts
to $4,000 month, we under
stand, and the work is being en-
lsrged all the time
The editors discussed the sum-
mer meeting of the southwest
Iowa Editorial association, which
will be held i'm the Valley in Au-
gust or September. We had a
good time, and Mr.. Sniff proved a
very GOOD host. Though he had
more work mapped out than we
could possible handle in the short
time we were together. Those
present were Editors Bays, Nc
Knight, McCabe, Kelley, Lahman
and Sniff, and there is to be an
other meeting in the summer,
which will be held in Logan.-Lo-
gan Observer.
