Governor Asks s5oo,ooo to Aid Pueblo
Sufferers.

Denver.-Governor Shoup has issued
a proclamation in reference to the Ar
kansas valley flood sufferers, calling
upon the people of the state 10 com
plete a fund of not less than S500000
''for the purpose of partially rehabili-
tating these suffering fellow citizens
and placing them on the way to self
support"
In his proclamation Governor Shoup
cited the facts that in Pueblo 1000
persons are in absolute want, that the
flood utterly destroyed $50 homes and
wrecked as many more, and that the
unusual nature of the tremendous
damage TO the business and farming
interests in the Arkansas valley was
such as to preclude the possibility of
collecting any insurance.
Simultaneously with the issuance of
Governor Shoup's proclamation, the
directors of the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association made public
statement in regard to the Pueblo flood
catastrophe, calling for further and
substantial responses by the citizens
of Denver and Colorado"

CHAPTER II.
A Man and a Woman.

It was late in the afternoon, the day
dark, with chilly wind blowing off
the river, when / reached Jersey City.
The first policeman encountered gave
me all necessary directions, so that l
alighted from IA street car within
block of my destination. A saloon on
the upper corner of the block fur
nished me the necessary clew. and,
using 1t as marker, l succeeded in
tracing back until satisfied had thus
safely located 1915" 1t was an aban-
doned factory, built of brick, two sto-
ries high, evidently extending over con-
siderable ground at the rear, but with
a frontage not to exceed forty feet.
The lower windows were boarded up
u number of those in the second story
broken, and the main entrance, large
enough for the passage of a motor
truck, was tightly secured by an i'm
mense iron bar. smaller door to the
right alone offered any possibility of
entrance. although 1t was tightly
closed.
To all outward appearances the
place had been unoccupied for months.
and perhaps years. From the sidewalk
1t was impossible to gain any glimpse
within. Only one discovery served to
convince me that i might be on the
right track-that l had not been en-
tirely deceived. A small sign, so COW
cred with dust and dirt as to be almost
unreadable, was nailed over the smaller
door. In the growing dusk l was
obliged TO study II intently to decipher
the words, but finally made them out
letter by letter:
"OFFICE ALvA MALLEABLE IRON
COMPANY"
Here was strange coincident, IL
nothing more, for Gustave Alva had
been one of the names signed on the
hotel register. Beyond doubt this old,
abandoned iron foundry was his prop
erty, and what better spot could be
selected In which 10 meet and concoct
scheme of crime? What place to
hide arms for shipment. Whatever
doubt l may have felt regarding my
venture vanished In the presence of
that unusual name. This was unques-
tionably the place named In the letter
as a rendezvous; here was where the
recipient Of that letter was to go and
receive instructions; where he was to
use the mysterious raps, and the coun-
tersign "Cervantes," in order to gain
admittance. The knowledge that l
was actually upon the threshold of
such a discovery brought with 1t de-
termination not to lose the advantage.
But what could j dor What further
steps might be safely taken alonef

for the full extent of the block, until
the saloon on the further corner came
into view. Its cleaning hospitality in
posite walk, my coat collar turned up
to shut out the drizzle, and finally
crossed over to where l could peer In
through the dingy windows. The man
behind the bar was Enthusiastically Pol
ish. and Of no high type, and at first
i saw no other occupants OF the place
except two roughly dressed men at a
table just inside, who were playing
cards silently. The room was clean
enough. and quiet, yet l felt no incli-
nation to enter. Those were not fell
lows 1t would be safe to question. and
would have turned away. but at that
instant i perceived the indistinct fig
ure of young woman In the further
corner, sitting beside table alone.
Her presence stimulated my curios-
ity. She appeared to be young, not
badly dressed. and her being in such
a place unattended rendered her of
some interest. 1t surely could do no
harm II dropped In for a sandwich
and a glass of beer. / crossed to the
bar, furtively watchful, but no one
except the proprietor apparently paid

scarcely more-merely turned her head

GOOD ROADS
The Story of Modern Progress
and Civilization is that
of transportation

Before Robert Fulton made his
experimental trip by steamboat on
the Seine in 1903 no man had ever
travelled over water more rapidly
than sails could carry him. Before
the first steam railway was oper-
ated, also early in the nineteeth
century,-the date is uncertain,-
no one had ever travelled by land
faster than horses could transport
him.
The story of modern progress,
growth and civilization is the story
OF the advance of transportation.
Without steamship and railway,
without the great commingling of
people and the annihilation of dis
tances sinces the nineteenth CEN
tury began, we could not have had
or could not have had SO easily and
abundantly, many of the conven.

in the outlay for tires that the
community at last aWoke to the
need of better roads. The desire
for comfort and economy, not COM
passion for the horse, led to the re-
form, but the horses benefit though
they make no comment.
When the Observation-Disclosures
engine was first applied to the
motor car the roads of America
were probably worse than those of
almost amy other thickly settled
civilized country. That is now all
changed. A great deal remains to
be done, but the wise course has
been followed Of imposing sub
stantial taxes on the use of cars
and of devoting a large part of
the proceeds to improving the
highways. States and the general
government are cooperating in the
work, and millions Of dollars have
Newark post., 1921-03-02

been spent in carrying it on. 1t
is now possible to go from north
to south and from east to west by
automobile without encountering
any such roads as formerly dis
graced the land.
Heretofore, as was proper, only
the main lines of communication
have received much attention.
Country towns and villages can be
,, made accessible by use of the gov
ernment appropriations, but local
funds must do the work of i'm
proving the crossroads and village
streets, and local pride should
furnish the money. Money spent
in making the avenues of communi-
cation clean and smooth is well
spent, for it cheapens transporta-
| tion for both business and pleas
ure. And perhaps our friend the
horse has a valid claim to consider
alton.

For nearly a hundred years the
advance was owing to improve
ments in the steam engine, which
year by year made the locomotive
and the steamship more efficient,
by increasing their power, their
capacity and their speed. But the
horse, dragging the buggy or the
loaded truck, could not be dis
pensed with. He had the ways in
which he was used remained un-
changed, and so for the most part
remained the roads over which he
travelled, usually roughly made, ir-
regular in surface, half the time
deep in mud, and the other half
deep in dust. But the horse was
dumb and could make no protest
against the hard conditions in
which he had to do his work.
Then came the automobile. The
