ROAD
MAY BE REBUILT.
PLAN WILL BE LAID BEFORE
COMMISSIONERS TO TAKE
IMMEDIATE ACTION
HIGHWAY NOW IS VERY POOR
COM. BORGMANN WANTS SUR
VEY MADE THIS FALL AND
WORK STARTED IN SPRING

There is strong probability that
the Westport-Sauk Centre highway
leading west from Stiles corner, will
undergo a complete rebuilding next
spring.
Commissioner Ferd Borgmann of
the Stearns County Board of Com
missioners, has plan which he viii
lay before the commission at its next
meeting and which will call for an
immediate handling of this highway
situation.
Mr.. Borgmann, is anxious to have
ia survey of this road made this fall
so that work may be commenced ear
|ly in the spring to reconstruct the
roadway.
This highway runs through the
town-of Ashley in Stearns county
as far as the Cooper farm and with
in one mile and half of the village
of Westport, and will commence with
the state road at the Stiles corner
five miles west of Sank Centre.
The condition of this piece of road
has been thorn in the side of the
county for many years. No effort
has apparently ever been made
to improve the condition of this road,
and in wet weather traffic over the
highway is almost impossible.
Then too, the roadway runs
through bit of swamp land and
where bridging has been necessary
streams are crossed by broken down
and decaying wooden bridges over
which heavy traffic could never pass.
No attention has been paid to the
road or the approach to these
bridges.
The aplan of Commissioner Borg
mann is to have new state highway
built from the Stiles corner clear
through to the Pope county line.
Pope county will then, no doubt.
be asked to lend their aid in the mat
ter with the result that when the
work is completed, there will be a
good state highway between Sank
Centre and the village of Westport.
Under the present conditions, it is
necessary in places to drive through
bordering fields in order to get over
the ground safely. The present high
way is narrow and dangerous to
automobiles traffic. 1t is merely a
prairie trail through some of the
richest farm country in Stearns
county.

ior:
northampton, Mass, Feb. A.
For the first time in the history of
the Smith college, citizens Of this city
and vicinity, and the college author
tiles. have come to odds regarding a
college policy, when a number of the
residents of Northampton, Easthamp-

thier disapproval of the Smith college
students peddling their wares of soap

those cities, in the aid of their drive

The young women, among whom is
Miss Elizabeth G. Bates, prominent
senior who resides in Richmond, Ind.
have also canvassed from house to
house and have had remarkable sue

tests from a few citizens, evidently
firm believers in the old blue laws
and with but little sense of fairness
have caused the entire campaign tc
be withdrawn, thus averting what
promised to become grave crisis
through court action.

ACCEPTING PUBLIC OFFICE.

Many Of the scverest critics of the mistakes and
inefficcncy of public work would not give up even
small fragment of their own valuable time to
help make things any better. 1t is hard to get
good business government, when many men of
first class ability have this feeling of rrespon-
sbility.
Perhaps some of these exaggerate the sac
rfice they would have to make if they accepted
nominations the legislature took a local or
county office. A lot of them have able assistants
who would keep their business running all right,
If business ana professional felt able to
give their time generously to the public
service, the government would be much bet
ter that business enterprises would be relieved from
many handcaps and would show better results,
One reason why many not willing to
take their share of public service is that they feel
If they become candidates for office that they are
going to be attacked, and their motives miscon-
strued. They hate have their past history raked
over, and all kinds of mud thrown at them
Yet it does not pay for people to be too sensi-
tive. Those who willing to take few hard
man, and his friends and the general public value
him and believe in him all the more. Faithful per-
Torrance OF public duty brings very high hon
ors. A man who has honest record need not
fear that his reputation is going to be injured.
Those who attack him hurt only themselves.
