GRAvELED ROADS VS.. "PERMAN-
ENT' ROADS.

/ have heard considerable discus
sion lately concerning the policy Of
ours tate highway commission in
constructing the kind Of roads it has
decided upon, and it is often argued
that the only type Of road is the so
called permanent road, the one that
needs no maintenance.
If one will take a pencil and do
little figuring. he can easily convince
himself that the policy Of the state
highway commission is the correct one
Let US consider first Of all the expeu-
sivc type Of road construction, such
as concrete, or the best grades Of
macadam. This type of road will cost
approximately $4,000 per mile and
let US suppose that the cost of con-
struction is met by issuing 2O-year
az per cent bonds. The annual cx-
pense on account Of this first cost
would be about $3.50 per mile. And
these roads will need some mainten-
ance, possibly not much over $50 per
mile per year. This brings the total
cost up TO about $3.50 annually per
mile for the expensive or so-called
permanent type of road.
Now take a well-constructed gravel
road and the cost for this road will
run about $4,000 per mile for con-
struction, figuring again on a basis
Of 2O-ye'r AZ per cent bonds and the
annual account for first cost will be
about s31O per mile. The cost for
maintaining these roads if properly
done, runs up pretty high and it can
be well done with an expenditure Of
about S24O per mile per year.
This makes a total anual cost then
for the surfaced road Of approximately
$3.50 annually per mile. A comparison
Of these two annual costs show $3.50
per mile per year in favor Of the
cheaper roads.-E. B. House, State

CYCLONE AT TWO BUTTEs.
One Man Killed. One Badly Injured
and Much Property Destroyed by
Twister That Visits Our Neigh
boring City.

On last Friday evening a little aft
er six o'clock a small cyclone struck
the town of Two Buttes southeast of
Lamar, and in almost the twinkling
of an eye slammed men and property
around in the most promiscuous man
ner. Its course was hard to trace and
there was even much divergence of
opinion as to the direction it wa
travelling, but all agreed as to IL
force and destructiveness. The wors'
destruction was at the Holeman groc-
cry store. The stone building was
torn open in the front and back sec
fions, the walls falling out and roof
caving in. Seven people were in the
building and all miraculously escap-
ed injury. However, Mr. Truett
printer on the Two Buttes Sentinel
was found afterwards in the ruins
with his head crushed. He was not
in the building before but was evi-
IDENTIFY picked up from the street and
hurled there. Mr.. II. d. Gather, who
runs the hotel and is one of the best
known and most popular residents Of
the little city, was on the street IN
front of the hotel and was picked up
and slammed back on the ground with
great force. Four ribs were broken
and one of the broken pieces pierced
his lungs. He was very seriously in
jured but late reports are favorable
to his recovery. He has many warm
friends in Lamar who hope sincerely
for his complete restoration TO health.
The exact extent Of damage to prop
erty could not be learned. Two store
buildings and three residences were
badly damaged and nearly all tho
business houses and many residence
had the window glass all broken out
There seems to. have been very little
damage outside Of the town so far a
news has come to Lamar. The track
of the storm was only about 100 fee
in width, but it committed all x
Of freaks such as pulling loose q
supports of large windmill and tank
without doing any damage to the up
per part, and tearing hencoop all q
pieces and leaving an old hen calmly
sitting on a nest Of eggs unruffled by
the destruction Of all her surrounding
Several autos from Lamar started
down as soon as news reached here
which owing to telephone wires being
down was not until next morning
but when they arrived the excitement
was all over and little help could be
given. There was no rain, hail or
lightning accompanying the storm.

COLORADO's CROPS.
Banner Year in Yield and Price for
The Farmers of the State.

Reports coming TO the Colorado
State Board Of Immigration from all
parts of the state, together with the
detailed reports Of the Bureau Of
crop estimates Of the Department Of
Agriculture, indicate that the crops
grown in Colorado this year will be
worth in the neighborhood Of 30 per
cent more than those Of 1916. The
value Of Colorado's 1916 agriculture
output was the largest on record to
that date.
These reports are based upon es-
Inmates Of yields of principal crops
as made by the Bureau Of Crop Es-
Inmates, and prices at the market
time, as indicated by present prices,
price tendencies and in some instan-
ees the prices whicn certain products
are now bringing for future deliv-
cry 1t is safe to say that, unless
some unforeseen and unprecedented
damage occurs at this late date, the
states crops from farms and orch
ards will be worth S13000O,O00, or
more.
OF course the yields will not be 30
per cent greater than last year,
since much Of the increase in value
is due to higher prices, There is in
creased production, however, OF al
most all crops. The states fruit
crop this year will be very close to
the record. The hay crop also Is
very large. The bean crop shows the
greatest increase, being 347 per cent
greater than last year. This is due
principally to the large increase in
acreage devoted TO the cultivation Of
the Mexican pinto bean in the cast
ern part Of the state.
This increase in crop output has
been due largely to the appeals made
early in the season by the Federal
and State government for maximum
production Of food products as an aid
10 the conduct Of the war. The Colo
RADIO State Board Of immigration made
an appeal to the people in every coun-
tv to organize promptly for increas-
ed production and the campaign was
nut under way early. The Governors
War Council was organized later, took
over all this work. and has been Of
much service to the farmers Of the
state in meeting the many problems
they encountered because of their at
tennis at increased production at
time when seed was scarce and high,
labor hard to find and farm imple-
ments all working at full capacity.

Good Dry Land Crops.

Fred Chambers yesterday brought
in some fine samples of crops raised
on dry land about thirty miles south
west Of Lamar on Butte creek. They
were from the land Of George Thomp-
son and there were both wheat and
broom corn samples. The wheat show
ed fine solid heads and is estimated
to go Is bushels to the acre in spite
of the unusual drouth this season. The
broom corn shows a fine brush and
will make a good crop. Mr.. Thompson
kept cultivating his crop right through
the dry weather. Mr.. Chambers in
forms US that there are many otho
fine crops in that section. If
they can make it this season they
should have no trouble on an ordin
ary year.

kept and saturated the seats with oil
and set it on fire. Yesterday word

To All Officers, Directors and Mem
bers Of the Various Clubs Affiliated
With the Young Mems Business
Club of America.

Gentlemen
When it became evident that our
nation would become involved in tho
world war, /, as President Of the
Young Mems Business Clubs OF
America, wrote to a number Of the
Clubs in the National organization,
regarding plans for our activities dur
ing the period Of my term Of office,
and it appeared, in most instances, to
those to whom letters were addressed,
in view Of the circumstances, that it
would be the patriotic things for the
officers to refrain from unusual activi-
ties, until the situation should more
fully develop. When war was declared
and so many thousands Of our young
men began TO enlist, it appeared to
me that the proper thing to do WIS tr
submit the question Of postponing the
National Convention, scheduled for
this year-Aug. 2S-29-3O-at Lamar
and Pueblo, Colorado, until next year
to the various Clubs and Officer
This have done, with the result that
there has been an unanimous vote to
postpone same.
