cHAs. BUTLER or IOWA Wis.
TING HERE THIS WEEK

Charles Butler, Of Muscatine, Iowa,
arrived here Monday morning Of this
week to spend a few days visiting
with his brother and old acquain-
stances
Mr. Butler was one Of the early
settlers on the South Plains, having
located in Lynn County in 1885. He
is well known over the entire country
as pioneer cattleman. In speak
ing Of the fine crops which prevail
not only over the plains country, but
most Of the States. Mr.. Butler says
that Iowa will have probably the larg-
est yield Of corn than for many years.
A fine rain about ten days prior to
the time when he left that state put
corn conditions in fine shape. IL
was thought for some time a short
age would occur in corn in that state
on account Of dry weather. Oats and
other small grains will yield light. this
year on account Of the excessive heat.
Mr.. Butler still has property in
terests on the South Plains which he
will see about while visiting here.

In pursuance TO an invitation from
the Commissioners court for the
Chamber Of Commerce and interest
ed citizens to meet with them Mon
day afternoon to discuss road mat
ters and the issuance Of road bonds,
quite a number Of people met with
the court and a discussion Of the
road question and the advisability Of
bonds was entered into. A number
of talks were made pro and con, and
il was decided that the court should
first secure the services of a compe-
tent engineer from the State or Fed
eral department TO come and make a
thorough survey Of the roads in
question and report to the court the
approximate cost per mile, and the
amount of State and Federal aid that
would be received. also to investigate
and report on the material in the
county that would be suitable for
road building purposes, and this was
the sense Of the meeting and unani-
mously expressed in the presence of
the Commissioners Court
Since that time Judge Moore has
sent a letter to the state department
making known the wishes Of the
court, and il is expected that within
a short time a reply will be received
and in all probability the survey will
be made in the near future When
this is done it will be great help in
determining the future actions Of the
court in this matter.

ing at this important proposition in
way that it will result in the very
best interests Of the County.
By getting the figures on the cost
OF construction the analysis Of the
road building materials in the coun-
ty, and all other items Of expense
that goes into the building Of fine
road. the court can have better
idea what they can do, and the
amount of bonds that will be neces-
sary for the work they have in view.
The general opinion Of the meet
ing was favor Of good roads, and
about all the opposition that develop
ed was on account Of the high cost of
materials and labor These objec-
tons though well taken at this time
are matters that may be overcome
before the road work could begin
even should the election be ordered
and the bonds carried at this time.
II would be some time next spring or
summer before actual work could
possibly begin, and year before
any taxes would have to be paid on
the bond issue, so after all these OBJ
jects might amount to naught.
The court will take the matter up
at a future meeting, and at all times
they want the people to know what
they are doing, and invite the public
to meet with them at any time. They
regretted very much that more Of
the Lubbock business men were not
