coon WORK ON ROADS
rs DONE IN FAST ELY

A most creditable piece of street
| work has recently been completed at
East Ely under the skillful supervis-
ion of f. G.. Leak. The principal
repairs were to Eleventh street from
the Nevada Northern railway station
south to Avenue F and on Avenue
F west to the city limits of Ely. From
the intersection of Eleventh street
and Avenue F. the work has also been
| continued east and a new street built
to the Steptoe Valley hospital. The
improved condition of these streets
as compared with their former condi-
ton. has g~laddened the hearts of all
travellers, and more particularly the
automobiles and the auto truck
drivers. Mr.. Leak has all kinds of
machinery necessary for modern road
construction. and under his practical
and competent supervision the re-
suits have been eminently satisfac-
tory. In lieu OF HORSES he has in
stalled a powerful Holt caterpillar
tractor, a power that greatly facilf-
tates road making.
The surface of the streets named
has been worked owe and smoothed
TO a boulevarde evenness, and graded
on each side in a way to carry of
the surface water from rain asd melt
ing snow and insure a dry street.
Particular attention was given TO the
renewal of the cutters that carry the
surface water under the street cross
ings. As the depth was not sufficient
TO install the regulation sewer pipe,
wood cutters have been constructed
of material sufficiently strong ard
laid to withstand for a long time the
heaviest traffic, the cutters being
protected on top by a layer of soil
several inches deep. This form OF
gutter is the same as that used ON
the Lincoln highway, which has given
the best of satisfaction.
The expense of the work on the
county road through East Ely, and
which is the Lincoln highway, was
borne by the county. The new
street to the hospital Is also author
lied by the county commissioners. On
Eleventh street, north from the Lin
coin highway to the Nevada Northern
railway station, the expense OF re-
pairs was borne by the railway COM
pany, the Ely Securities company and
Mr.. Leak, who have shown public
spirited enterprise in making repairs
To the road, and insuring uniform
excellence Of the street all the way
from the railroad station to the in
tersection Of this street with the
county road.

ing which proceedings it Is alleged
Darling struck Baron with his fist
and knocked him against the revolv-
ing fly wheel of the engine. Baron
was struck on the head by the driv-
ing rod and almost Instantly killed.
Another version is that the victim OF
1.-The tragedy was caught in the wheel
and whirled around, his head striking
the floor. At any rate he was killed.
Sheriff Mclean in response to a
telephone call made a quick trip to
the mines, and arrested Darling who
had left the mill and gone to his
bunk house. He made no attempt TO
resist arrest and told the sheriff that
he was preparing TO come to Ely and

The Era-leader., 1918-08-15

There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the priyi-
leges Of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies Of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations Of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu
ton of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, pOtentate or sovereignty; that
he will support and defend the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
mestic, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same.
"False to Their oaths."
All these naturalized citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government in the conduct of the war
are false to their oaths, are forfeiting
their rights of citizenship, are repndi.
ating their honorable obligations, are
reQuiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people Of the United States have well
coined them to the liberty and the Op.
portunites of this free land We mus.
believe that in many cases this Is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really Is.
This is Il war Of defense 1t Is per.
fectly described in the words of the
Constitution which established this ma.
ton, "To provide for the common de-
fense" and "To secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our posterlty"
The national defense demands not
merely force. but intelligence. 1t re.
quires foresight, consideration of the
policies and purposes Of other nations,
understanding Of the inevitable. or
probable consequence of the acts Of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when 1t will be 100 late, and prompt
action before 1t is too late
BY entering this war the United
States availed itself Of the very last
opportunity to defsnd itself.

HIGH
SCHOOLS IN CONTEST

An excellent idea Of what is being
accomplished through the practical
lessons taught by the Agricultural
High Schools of Louisiana will be pre-
sented in an array of products dis
played at the State Fair, October 80
to November 4, inclusive.
Several hundred dollars in prem
iums have been offered and various
schools will be represented The ex-
hibits will be in charge of Prof. P. j..
Guilbeau, state inspector Of Agricul-
tural High Schools.
Better farming means greater pro-
duction and conservation, and these
help Uncle Sam. To get the best re-
suits in producing and conserving is
a patriotic duty. This, the Agricul-
tural High Schools teach.

Good Roads.

Good roads are one of the great.
est assets country can have, and
good roads cannot be obtained in
any other way than by the CO.
operation and assistance of the
people.
The plan submitted to the peo.
PIE of this parish is the only prac.
teal way, for by this method the
best results may be achieved at
the least Inconvenience and the
smallest sacrifice upon the part of
the taxpayers.
Some of the boys in France write
home to their friends saying, that
the goodroads in that country are
the chief thing that enables them
to win the victories which are t..
day covering the American armies
with glcry. Now, if good roads
are so useful in that war town
country, can we not see that they
are necessary here? Let US build
them so that when our soldier
boys come home again they may
see that we, too, have been doing
our bit for the good of mankind
and to tighten the burden of the
future.

Good Roads Are
Absolute Necessity

The following article by Mr.
D. H. Mason, editor and publisbe,
of the St. Tammany Farmer, O.
Covington, La, is most timely, OF
the eve of the election in TIL.
Parish on August 9th, and We
gladly give it space in full:
Covington, La, Aug. 10, 1918
Editor Era Leader:
1t may not seem ethical for ar
outsider to but into your home af
fairs, but the proposition to build
good roads in Washington Parish
is so closely allied to similar plans
in our own parish that there is d
mergence Of interests.
On the 9th instant Road Dis
trict No. l of st. Tammany parish
will vote on tax for hard sufac-
ing roads. 1t has become a
necessity, not simply as a matter
of public improvement, but as a
war measure demanded by tue
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
The statement is made that con-
tracts for ship building will not be
made where hard. surfaced roads
are not provided for transportation
of material and men. In fact il
has become War Measure.
But while every patriotic heart
is fired with ambition to do every
thing that can be done to win the
war, and the Stacker has become
an object of contempt, every mans
prosperity is so bound up in trans
portatlon facilities that good
roads assure the shape Of profits
of the war, instead of sacrifices.
Washington parish, as well as st.
Tammany, has depended large
ly upon timber for revenue. The
manufacturers OF lumber and the
big business interests of the parish
will foot the bill for the roads.
The farmer and small property
owner will pay very small part of
it, but the roads will increase the
value of their property and they
will have roads that will give them
quick travel to school and markets
and in case of sickness put the
physician within timely reach,
which frequently means the diffe
renee between life and death.
The progress of civilation is
barred by bad roads. Comfort.
able living, education and prosper
ity always demand them.
1t is never difficult to get big
business interests to vote for good
roads, because the very bigness
OF their business has resulted
from their foresight and expert
ence. They have studied the re-
suits of similar conditions in other
sections. They know that to earn
money there must be money in
Ehe field. They know that wealth
never accumulated in either agri-
cultural or business sections with
out good roads. With modern
motor travel people will not settle
in q country that has no good
roads, and with continued neglect
in the matter those who have
means will even move to where
they they can have them.
With good hard surfaced roads
in both st. Tammany and Wash
ington parishes quite a large
area would be open to travel
attractive to tourists aud yisiaors.
result, neighboring parish
es would fall into line and this
section OF lilo state would bn larg-
ely advertised. The building of
these roads would be an advance
The Era-leader., 1918-08-15

step toward prosperous future
after the war, when a large amount
Of capital will be seeking invest
ment, and wish to congratulate
the Era Leader on the stand it
has taken in urging a favorable
vote.
Very truly yours,
