A GRAVEL TRAIL.

The result of a conference between
the boards of supervisors OF five coun.
ties held AZ Storm Lake Friday eve
ming was that road from Carroll OF
the Lincoln Highway To Spirit Lake
lSo miles long will he permanently
graded and graveled at once. The SUI
pervisors from Clay county were pres
ent to tell how they secured unanimous
endorsement from a convention Of o0t
citizens to grade and gravel the entire
county road system of Clay county
within two years and issue bonds fol-
the expense. This plan seemed so good
to the ,Buena Vista county board that
after a short caucus they announced
that they would hold a mass meeting
in Storm Lake on March % and adopt
the Clay county plan if endorsed in the
meeting. The Sac county board is
planning upon doing the same thing.
Buena Vista county offers one of the
Stunning examples OF what can be &C
complished by good engineering and
broad business policies. Last year its
board issued $4,000 In bonds for the
permanent bridges that We're needed
and her engineer now estimates that
every temporary bridge in the county
can be replaced with permanent ma
sonry as fast as the old bridges wear
out and be paid for out of current
funds. Inside Of eight years this coun-
ty will be completely bridged with ma
sonry and can then cut It's bridge levy
by an amount equal to its present
county road levies. Such is the re-
suit of employing a competent engi-
neer for the past eight years and doing
permanent work instead OF patching.
Buena Vista county's engineer esti-
mated that the county roads could be
graded for an average
cost of 81 600 per mile and that they
could be graveled for about s1.l00 per
mile, there being plenty OF gravel in
half the county and contractors with
tractors and trains Of dump cars could
haul to the remainder Of the county at
much less than team costs. He esti-
mates that the entire Job of grading
and graveling Buena Vista county's
county road system could be completed
in two or three years. bonds issued for
the expense over and above what cur
rent revenues would meet and the
bonds would all be paid off in the
ninth year out of the present tax
levies with interest and enough
to maintain the roads. Buena Vista
county could then take more township
roads into the county road system and
Improve them with county money.
This is the estimate made by one of

conquerors having destroyed the de-

obscene regiment and follow the track
of the victorious troops killing such
struggling males that may have es-
capped and by disease communicated in
a manner that must be limited at and
not told forever polluting life at its
very fountains and thus destroying the
hope of new growth OF the race thus
poisoned. The vague description of this
leprous regiment is shamefully shock
ing. 1t ought not to be in print.
Why does the average magazine in
literature? A story like the one men
toned emanates deadly poison in the
home. 1t has nothing 10 recommend
it above morgue, indeed the morgue
may resent the comparison. Beside it
the killing room Of a slaughter house
Is bright as parlor.
1t is insidious and dangerous, this
slow encroachment of moral and physi-
cal obscen!ty upon the homes thru the
magazines We have learned TO trust
and welcome into our homes.
