WHO IS TO BLAME.

We hear it said by some ohe oh .hS streets each day-"Look what Hope Is doing, and why is it that Prescott IS not more active in boosting the oil in- terests in this county.
 In this connection we want to ask question or so.
 Believing as we do that Nevada coun- ty will in all probability become one of the big oil producing counties of the state, our feeling of pride in the poss- Utilities before us, is tinged with re- eret when we view the deplorable con- dition of the roads leading out to the oil fields at Sutton and Bluff City.
 Even if this city and county is bless ed with the producing wells SD hopeful iy expected, the visitors who come here from other parts will carry back to their respective homes the story of neg lected highways, and our reputation for non n-progressiyeness will spread tar and wide.
 As a member of the last legislature, the editor of this paper undertook the establishment of permanent road in provements-but at no time was the building program given the proper nor al support of the business men of Prescott. When little differences arose in the matter and manner of road con struction, we want to ask, if indiffer enee on the part of the business men of Prescott, is not largely responsible for tie chaotic Conditions of the present road situation existing in Nevada co,n ty today.
 Your present. representative in the realing the road laws in this county By your silence he + permitted to be Ieye that Nevada county needs no pub in improvements and witto.t ri Ing over the protest of the business inter- ests of Prescott ind surrounding coun- try, he has right to beliey" that his course ca grles your favor aaa claims ~on endorsement.

 these questions are asked in all kin6ness but likewise in all seriousness
 At all times in1 under all cir 'um- stances has the editor of the Picayune stood for the upbuilding of Prescott and the greater development of Neva- da county, This is our home and we share in common interest with you sn the general welfare of our splendid citizenship; Therefore we feel the cry ing need of forward step toward bet ter highways, cognizns their SUI preme importance to the prosperity and comfort of our fellow citizens.
