HooKER-TYRoNE RIGHT
OF WAY is ASSURED

Progress is being made this month
in opening the Fort to Fort highway
along the railroad between Hooker
and Tyrone. Easements are being
secured from owners of land and by
the end of the month, most of the
road will be an assured fact. Title
to the road is not taken, but only the
right of the public to pass over, and
all oil and gas rightsare reserved to
the owner. Practically all right Of
way between 0ptima and Hooker has
been secured. 1t has not been found
necessary to condemn single tract
so far, as the prospects of a graded
and dragged road appeals to land
owners to have it come by their hold
ings besides the shortening of the
road by at least one third to two
markets. The increase in value of
adjacent lands to the road is no small
factor to be considered.
The grading of the road has been
completed from Goodwill to TeXho-
ma and a contract will be let in Sep.
TENDER to bridge the Beaver at the
railroad bridge. Some culverts will
be put in across Pony Creek north
of Optim aas soon as concrete car
be had. This road will be the Longest
stretch of straight road in the Unit
ed States. and will be the route of a
least two National Highways. The
traffic of the Nation will then go b!
the route from coast to coast acros
our door, as we will have the short
continent.-Hooker Advance.
