try, but were it not for the great highway they would leave as quickly as they could. The magnitude of the effort can best be realized by the fact that large part of the road has to be blasted from a sheer mountain side, and built with high retaining walls and deep fills.
 At 6:45 we reached Mt. Judea Spring, 152 miles from Little Rock. Here lived family by the name of Sloan, and soon we were making &C., quaintances and friends of two bright boys and two attractive girls, and were invited to come to the home for the night. But we stretched our auto bed, cooked and ate supper and spent our first night out in comfort.
 But we were told the next few miles of road, to Jasper, the county seat of Newton, were awful, the buiid- ing of the highway not having been quite completed, and the soft earth being badly cut by travel. J. c. Sloan suggested he would get a spade and help us thru, a thing most de- voutly welcomed. He did, breaking down the ridged earth at several places and filling the too deep ruts, and we made it without stalling even once. Asked how much we owed him. he said: "Oh, I didn't do anything. and don't want pay for helping you a little" A nephew, Freeman Sloan, went with us the six miles to Jasper, and there we met a Mir. Smith, one of the highway commissioners, who as- sured us if we came back that way in two weeks we would find the road very much better. Here we also met Will son Moore, the town banker, and were given most cordial invitations by him and others to stop and fish and swim in Little Buffalo, a beautiful stream. see the crystal cave and other at fractions, and they are many.
 Leaving the good friends at Jasper we travelled 10 or 12 more miles of terrible roads, partly on unfinished highway and partly along gulches and creek beds where the old road still was in use. But we were only we'll shaken and had no trouble, and fin ished the trip into Harrison. Roone county, over very good roads, by 2 ?. m., having passed many well-kept orchards of peach and apple, but no fruit at all. The other crops, corn and oats, and the gardens looked fine. We had added 27.1 miles to our distance. and most of them were fully equal to the worst of our own Eagle Gap route from Acorn to Eagleton.
