Auto Accident.

Last Friday night returning from
North Troy with Bishop Bliss, Rev.
w. C. Bernard, Miss Kathleen Ber-
nard, and Mrs. George Morse, one
of the Orleans Motor Company's cars
driven by Harry Knapp, in attempt
ing to pass load of gravel near a
culvert collided with the wagon and
the cement guard of the culvert. That
the car did not turn turtle seems al
most a miracle. The ladies were
thrown from the car and the others
received serious injuries. Bishop
Bliss received a black eye and all
were severely shaken up. The car
was quite badly damaged. The pas
sengers in the car report Mr.. Knapp
was driving carefully but acknowl-
edge the passing point was too mar
row.

ON HARD ROADS
START IN DICKINSON

The county engineers and an en-
gineer OF the state highway commits
sion are making the official survey
and maps for the hard surfoce road
across south Dickinson from Her
ington TO the west line. II will be
brick TO Harrington to Hope and
concrete or brick the remainder of
the way
They will also survey the Golden
Belt from Abilene to the Geary
county line where 1t Will meet a
concrete road in Geary. The Dick
inson end is to be gravel No petit
ton has been started from Abilene 10
Solomon and there seems to be no
activity there Between Detroit and
Chapman the petition is yet TO 20
signed. So it may be long time be-
fore anything is done on the road as
as a whole
The gravel road from Abilene to
Sand Springs which has been neglect
ed for five years is something fear
full to behold and is condemned by
every tourist. Beyond the sand hills
the road is in fair shope. From Sa-
lima to Solomon in Saline county It
is kept dragged and planed and is a
boulevarde.
C. A. Hodge who has been over
the Golden Belt to Denver four times
this season says there is no 3 miles
between Abilene and Denver that is
so bad and poorly kept as the road
between Abilene and Solomon.
The Enterprise roads is as usu-
al undragged and rough, one of the
worst roads in the county. The De-
troit road is only fair being good in
places but without any systematic
work 1t is deteriorating.
The Blue Line which crosses
Dickinson eight miles north of town
has been extended to Colby and is
getting much travel 1t is reported
that petition for a concrete road
through Dickinson over this line is
in prospect which will make 1t moro
popular than ever with the Golden
Belt in bad condition as now.
