Will Work Roads

Friday evening the Chamber of
Commerce held special meeting at
the Hotel Guy. They were served |
at seven o'clock with splendid din
ner, after which the house was call
ed to order and the matter of
Lyceum Course YVES talen up. The
Ellison-White representative being
present the matter was thoroughly
discussed and committee appointed
to look over the attractions he had
to offer and while this committee
was out the matter of good roads
for Kendrick and the surrounding
country was taken up. Consider
able time was taken up in talking
over the best ways to handle the :
proposition. A resolution was pre-
sented and voted upon, which was
to be signed by the citizens of the
town, asking the City Council to
make some move in the rocking OF
the streets of Kendrick this spring.
The Rock Crusher was then the top
ic, which caused no little comment.
A committee was appointed to col
lect money from the members end
others to pay the expense of getting
the crusher and roller shipped from
Cornwell to this place, and they
were instructed to get il here at.
once. The matter of rocking the
road from the Wauncher bridge to
the Bear Greek bridge was discussed
and committee to make arrange.
ments to do the work and secure
the assistance of the citizens in the
matter. A special road day will be
made as soon as the weather will
permit and every male citizen and
all the other sex that wants good
roads will be asked to take their
pick, shovel and strong arms and
work the roads on this day. The
road proposition in this section of
the country is one Of the most i'm
portant. If the town of Kendrick
expects to build up and get the trade
from the outlayIng districts they
must make the roads in order to get
it. The Farmers on the fotlatch
are building some excellent roads
from Southwick this way. Big Bear
ridge Farmers are doing their share
in getting a good road into Ken
drick. American ridge has good
road to the city limits and from the
limits into town is the worst piece
of road in the country. Texas ridge
Farmers tell US they are ready and
willing to help build their road in
to Kendrick if they can get little
help and a good word from this end
of the line. Little Bear ridge roaC
is another one that is in bad con
ditian and it fixed up would be the
means of getting more of the Farm
ers of that ridge coming this way
The Cedar Creek Farmers have
spent several hundreds of d ,llars il
building a good road toward Ken
drick and they are more than will
, ing to continue their work if the!
can see an interest taken in this ent
of the line and can see somethin,
being done to prove to them tha
5 they are wanted to help make bet
ter Kendrick.
Some may not like the idea O
the Chamber of Commerce taking
2 up the road question, To those W
would ask, "If we don't do it, who's
r going to?" Are we going on. yea
!. after year, talking good roads, an
never touch them? No. The NOV
is on and the work must be accom-
plished, and it is the aim of tn
:, Club to be ready when the fros
q leaves the ground to start action
: and with the help Of everyone "
will have the desired roads. Let
{ all boost for GOOD ROADS for tn
), country surrounding Kendrick an
= also for GOOD STREETS in Ker
drick. After the good roads wor
was finished the Committee on tn
= Lyceum Course returned with RI
port that they had picked out fou
a attractions they thought would tax
q with the Club and then the Gu
l. voted to accept the report and tt
Lyceum Course for the years 1861
