ALL DONE

Contractors Carey-Reed of Lexing-
ton. who have had the work of the as
phalt streets in the Sixth Ward and
Court street yesterday completed their
work in this city and Will soon dis
mantle their asphalt plant preparatory
to removing it from Maysville. The
contractors started on their work al
most year ago. The concreting was
,nished last fall, but no asphalt was
put down until about a month ago.
Maysville now boasts of the best
system of street of any city of Its
size in the State of Kentucky. All OF
the main streets are either bricked OF
asphalted.
Now that all all of the streets are
down we doubt If there is a Taxpayer
in the city that regrets one cent thai
has been put in them. The street!
are down and are good for many years
wear. 1t has been 10 years since tn,
first brick street was laid in Maysvill'
and this street today is practically Al
good as new.

Americas Air Offensive

The news from Washington as well as from
the battle front in Belgium and France tells us of
the Importance of the aeroplane in the future of
the great war. The romance of air flying is fast
becoming grim and expensive romance.
The British and French commissioners i'm
pressed upon American officials the Importance
of air craft in military operation. The advisory
board of the council of national defense has been
investigating the possibilities of airplane con-
struction in this country on tremendous scale
but what form the advisory council recommends
ton will take is not yet known. 1t is pretty GER
tain, however, that the idea is fast crystallizng
into unanimous sentiment that this country can

BY S. w. WALL

Secretary, Justice to the Noun
tain Committee.
This very vital and illuminating
chapter in the history OF the pro-
ceedings at Washington for the
elimination of the hyphen from
the mountains name Is to be de-
voted, as | promised, to the dis
interestedness of Victor j. Farrar.
research man of the University OF
Washington.
The preliminaries are cleared
away have now arrived at the
point where this story really be-
gins.
We ('our side") had employed
stenographer to report the pro-
ceedings but-because of the con-
fusion, no doubt, and the uncer-
tainty of statement-the result
was not all that was desired.
For we tour side) desired the
record to be complete and unas-
sailable. Chairman Braid asked
us to ttfn over to the board a
copy of the report.
Refuse to Revise IL.
Accordingly, l took the very
considerable labor and pains to
visit every witness on both sides,
submitted the report OF his state
ment, permitting him to correct 1t,
and then had 1t typewriter again
as corrected.
Mr.. Farrar took the report of
his statement and promised to re-
turn it o. KID. but never did so.
Mr.. Conover had gone to Balti-
more and, accompanied by Mr..
Farrar, | went over there to see
him.
He refused to have anything to
do with 1t. He said he had been
assured by Mr.. Braid that Il was
not necessary. | told him Mr..
Braid had asked us for a couy of
the report.
He finally called up Mr.. Braid
over the long distance at Wash
ington, talked to him a minute
and returned, saying Mr.. Braid
had again declared it was not me-
cessary. Farrar had told me the
case was already decided. 1t did
seem so.
1t was on the train going over
that the following conversation
took place between Mr.. Farrar and
myself:
Makes Suggestion.
"Oh, am ready to admit that
the name Tacoma has some m.r-
It," said Mr.. Farrar, "and | am
free to confess that II the people
Of Tacoma or their representatives
would write a letter just asking
that the mountain be given that
name because it is something the
people of Tacoma want very much
just like that--if some one IN
authority, or spokesman for
them, would write a letter like
that, l would promise to with
draw my opposition and say go
ahead and grant It."
would you do that? I might
write letter like that" said L
in a dazed way.
Yes, I woodland think Con-
over would too; I am sure he
would IL he wasn't so angry at
Johnson for the way he question
ed me at the hearing. That made
Conover mad. If Johnson goes to
making trouble for me about this
thing I'll show him that 1t works
both ways. There were people In
that side room that overheard all
that. They are worth millions and
they would rally to my support"
His History
81 don't think the matter will
go any further SO far as johnson
Is concerned. It was simply a part
of the days work. But you do
think the name Tacoma has some
merit? How long have you been
in the west, Mr.. Farrar "
Three years"
