SENATOR TERRELL STICKS
To His Implied Obligation to Support
a Marion Man for the
Ensuing Term

The Star is in receipt of letter
from Mr. Glenn Terrell, our state
senator.
Mr.. Terrell says he had no knowl-
edge of the move put on foot by some
of his friends to nominate him again
for state senator. He expects to sup
port Marion county man for the Of
fee, and doesn't believe Sumter man
could win against a Marion man for
the ensuing term.
This is practically what the Star
said several weeks ago for Mr.. Ter
rell, without consulting him, because
it was sure it was what he would say,
and now he confirms it.

The Star regrets to hear of an ac-
cident to Mr.. L. C. Carpenter. This
young man, who is a member Of
Company A, was at his home near
Oak for a brief visit. He went out
rabbit hunting with his brother yes
terday, and while pushing through a
thicket discharged his gun, which was
pointing at the ground. The load
struck him in the foot, mangling two
toes so badly they had to be ampu-
tated.

A farmer who is firm believer in

from his town superintendent when
snow blocked the six and one-half mile

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Little Texas City Finds Merchants OF
Neiqhboring Towns Get Trade
on Account Of Roads.

Two years ago Rockdale Tex, voted
a bond issue for the construction of
good roads in that neighborhOod. The
people Endorsed the bond issue, but
certain interests fought it In the courts
and the roads were never built. Now
the citizens are working to secure the
issuance of a much larger bond issue
for the same purpose.
Neighboring towns and precincts
have surrounded Rockdale with good
roads to such an extent that the
merchants of that little city are find
ing their trade leaving them to travel
the better roads. AS commerce fol-
lows the flag, so does country trade
follow the better roads, and the mer-
chants of Rockdale know it-nOw.
Every community in Texas that has
spent money for improved highways
has made good investment. The only
trouble has been that Texas bond is

MoRE DISCUSSION OF THE
F0R6S CREEK GRADE ROAD

Mr.. Svoboda replies to Mr.. Wilmot
as follows
In answer to Mr.. Wilmot's article
which appeared in the Clearwater Re-
publican of the 23inst., wsh to ex-
plain few facts to him, also put
myself right in the eyes of the pub
lie. | didn't try to mislead any OF
the signers to my petition as they
are ali aware Of the Fact the canyon
road as it has been proposed and look
ed over by the former commissioners
is shorter and much better grade than
the one you people would have finish
ed. M aybe, if Mr.. Wilmot had come
to Orofino and talked the matter over
with us when the commissioners met
the 5th of March, instead of waiting
till the next day he might have found
out a few points in which he is lack
ing. For instance, he would have
found out that Messrs. Choate and
Harlan had been over the proposed
road several times and found out that
the grade can be made on an average
of from two to three per cent. IN
places, and six per cent. at the high
est. so YOU see | am not alone in my
huge joke as you call 1t.
Now as for the $4,000 which you
stated in your petition had been spent
already and we wished to throw away,
you are greatly mistaken or misin-
formed. Did you stop to think that
part of that money was spent in re-
opening the old part of the grade that
had caved in, and also culverts and
the bridge at the Pech place? Fur
thermore three-fourths of a mile OF
that road would be included in the
canyon road.
One more thing wish to rectify
and that is that the road would only
benefit me. Now at the present time
there are six places that would bene.
fit, namely: Jordan, Farrance, Erbs,
Pavel, inertia and Dorothy, as well as
being a much better. way for the
travelling public between Pierce ano
Orofino, since it would cut out those
steep hills between Pech's ant
Coontz's places, which you know are
bad to travel even with an empty rig
In conclusion l wish to state whel
we started this road business we die
not wish to create any hard feelings
but l think as taxpayers we are en-
titled to some consideration, so WI
have no more to say at present on TIN
subject, and what we have said can
not be disputed as it is truthful AM
handed. The rest we leave witt

FIX ROAD FOR AUTOMOBILES
Radical Change In Treatment OF High
ways That Bear Brunt OF Travel
Is Suggested.

The suggestion made by Francis NJ.
Hugo, secretary of state of New York,
that radical Change is called FOR in
the treatment of the roads that bear
the main brunt of automobile travel,
must strike laymen, at least as highly
important. He points out that only a
small part of the width of these roads
is actually used by most Of the vehi-
cles which pass over them, and "yet
when the road has to be repaired or
renewed the whole width has to be
dealt with, for mere patching in most
cases cannot be regarded as the most
practical method of maintenance" Ac-
cordingly, he proposes the use Of pre-
pared tracks "made Of special ma
terial, continuous and smooth In char
acter, and sufficiently wide," which
would "bear nearly all the traffic and
would lengthen the life Of the road ten
times its present period."-New York
Times.

MONEY FOR RURAL HIGHWAYS
Bonds for County Roads Should Never
Run Longer Than 80 Years, Say
Agricultural Experts.

Bonds sold for county highway inn
provement, in the opinion Of road spe-
cialists of the department of agricul
ture, should never run for more than
80 years, and retirement even earlier
is better where this can be accom-
plished without too great an increase
In the tax rate. It is dangerous prac-
tice to have bonds run for a long pc
Rod, because in such cases the in
debtedness often outlives the estimated
life Of the improvements made with
the money so raised. Money borrowed
to build roads should be repaid BY
those who enjoy the benefit Of the i'm
provements thus financed, and not to
be debt upon those who gain no benc-
fit from the expenditure.
