MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS TO BE
iNTERLINkED BY SIX MODEL
PIKE ROADS
SOON TO BE REALIZED
Direct Routes From All Parts OF State
To Kansas City Also To The
Northeast To St. Louis
Missouri.

Little Rock-The proposed Missouri
highway system, cutting Arkansas il
six places, will when it and the Ar
kansas system are completed give
practically every section of this state
direct routes to St. Louis and Kansas
City. and every section of Missouri
direct routes to Little Rock.
For purposes of convenience the
proposed Missouri highways cutting
the Arkansas line have been number
ed from 1 to 6, west to east.
Route 1 leads north through Nc

souri,. into Springfield over a federal
primary road, then north over a state
primary road to the connecting road
between st. Louis and Kansas City
Route No. 1 cuts Arkansas at Sulphur
Springs, Benton county, passing
through Bentonville and Rogers and
south to Altus, where it taps the Lit
tie Rock-Fort Smith Highway.
Route No. 2 extends north through
Barry county, Mo, to Monette. where
1t strikes the same federal primary
road as No. 1, and the route there
after is the same. 1t enters Arkansas
south Of Seligman, Mo-, and connects
with the scenic North Arkansas route
extending through Russellville.
Route No. is a state road extend
ing northwest through Oregon and
Howell counties in Missouri and di-
viding in Texas county. One arm ex-
tends east, tapping the state primary
road at Springfield, and the other
north forming a junction with two
state primary roads in Phelps county.
One of these state roads is that be-
tween Springfield and ST. Louis, and
the other extends north, tapping the
Kansas City-St. Louis Line. In Ar
kansas 1t cuts the state line at Man,
moth Spring, joining there the North
Arkansas system.
Route No. 4, state primary road,
runs almost due north through Poplar
Bluff to Fredericktown where it joins
the ST. s-Caruthersville primary
state highway 1t cuts the Arkansas
line~north of Corning connecting with
che Little ROck-St Louis Highway

then east to Charlottesville, Pemiscott
county. where it connects with the
Charlottesville st. Louis highway In

Merscham wrote a diary of his last
hours which in part follows:
Personally, l have been kept so
busy on this last day in an effort to
wound all up, and at 40 p. m. took
II one,half grains of morphine, which
will be sufficient a quantity but which
works slowly. Now, at 6 45 D. M,

low the morphia up by a draught of
cyanide OF potash, the deadliest of all
poisons, but am putting it off until
the morphine's effects will be more
marked and my extreme reluctance
to swallow the nasty cyanide be over
come.
Is it not foolish for a man determ-
ined to die within one hour to rather
wait than partake of an unpleasant
drink?
My thoughts are with my beloved
wife, whose love and devotion have
rendered me infinitely happy for many
years, and with my two grandchildren,
who unconsciously brought sunshine
to me.
But although l deeply regret the
grief my voluntary parting from life
for a time must bring on my beloved
ones, i'll health and late reverses. make
my step desirable.
TIT p. m. Did | not know that
have taken sufficient poison to war

from my condition. Aside from flut.
tering heart action, and contracted
eye pupils, and moderate drowsiness
feel no effects. Still | cannot make
up my mind to swallow the cyanide,
and have lit cigar awaiting a fur.

hope to be soon able to coax myself
into the inevitable.
TAP p. m, I am here yet. Hes
tated to take this cyanide. My
thoughts become blurred from the
morphine and a sensation of supreme
quietude reigns in me- If it was not
for my beloved wife, who Just phoned,
l would go on waiting, but am afraid
of too long delay because a lapsing
into Inconsistencies might result in
being saved by medical assistance.
