Progress, from the standpoint Of
the Road Commission, is largely a
matter of available funds. While

lature, S4,5O0,ooo Of the proceeds of
the first will not be available until
next year, and Ss,o0o,00o0 of the

s3o,000,000 which is not yet avail
able.

West Virginia is wildly indicated by
the great increase in automobile

which our state leads the entire
country. The West Virginia per-
centage of increase is 400, Kentucky
is second with a gain of $50 per

Of the people of any state is becom-
ing more and more linked up with
motor transportation and the grow

entirely upon the extension of hard

at the Virginia line with road to
the south. 1t crosses Route No.
at Clarksburg, and Route No. at
Gauley Bridge.
Other Important Routes
Besides these translate routes,
there are several others of no less
Importance in the regions which they
traverse, and also of Importance to
the state as whole. Route No.
for instance, which runs through
Mason, Jackson, Rosne, Calhoun, Gil
mer, Lewis and Upsnur Counties
and into Randolph will open up a
region rich in natural resources, and
SKILL also form one of the most inn
portant links in connecting up state
institutions. Route No. 6 is of great
Importance to the northwestern part
of the State, including the northern
Panhandle. 1t starts at Moundsville,
crosses, Marshall, Wetzel and Mar
ion Counties, and connects with the
Northwestern Turnpike in Taylor
County near Grafton, from which
point, north and south route No. A
may be easily reached. To the ex-
treme southern end of the state,
Route No. 8 is one of the most inn
poTtant. Starting at Huntington,
where it connects with the Midland
Trail, this road runs through Ca
bell, Wayne ,Mingo, Wyoming, Nc
Dowell and Mercer counties, and
connects in Mercer County with
north and south Route No. 4 Route
No. 8 connects the eastern Panhandle
with Route No. !. Route No. 20
connects Hardy, Grant and Pendle-
ton Counties with Route No. in
Hampshire County. Route "a con-
meets Randolph, Pocahontas and
Greenbrier Counties with the Mid
land Trail, with Route IS, which
leads to Route No. Route No. Sc,
which has been designated by the
government as primary Federal
road, starts from Route No. / at
Grafton, runs through Taylor, Bar
bour Randolph and Pocahontas Coun-
ties, and connects at the Virginia
border with a hard surfaced road
leading to Staunton and points east.
Other Federal routes in West Vir-
GINA are the four great framework
thoroughfares hitherto destcribed,
the National Road across Ohio Coun-
ty, Route SO across jefferson Coun-
ty, and Route 50 across Berkeley
County. Both Of these latter routes
conect with Maryland and Virginia.
Of the $500 miles included in the
state system, $40 miles have been
completed, and LOO miles addition
a are under contract. Contracts to-
falling 1870 miles viii be let in De-
cember.

Travel Certain TO BE Heavy

While it is impossible to forecast
relative volumes Of traffic over the
main stage routes when completed,
it is certain that travel over all Of
them win be heavy. Owing to bet
ter connections eastward It is pro-
bable that traffic over Route No. /,
the Northwestern Turnpike win Be
greater in that direction for while
at least than over the Midland Trail.
Some Of the traffic which now pass
es over the National Road will be
diverted to the Northwestern route
when it is completed The Midland
Trail will be for time the best out
let westward for all the southern
part Of the state. Both the main
north and south route will be trav-
eled heavily by those going to and
from Charleston, as well as by those
having business at intermediate
points along these important high
ways and their connecting roads.
In addition to their traffic impor-
lance, it is believed that the north
and south routes will be of great
significance in bringisg about closer
relations, and therefore better UNI
Outstanding, between the northern
and southern parts of West Virginia
Due to geographical reasons, these
two sections of the state lave some
extent different Interest," and con-
sequently, different sediments. This
has sometimes led to alta genism and
bitterness. The. situation Is the same
on a smaller scale, as existed between
the North and the South before the
Civil War.
When, through the Teton of
good highways, the Peep IF north
ern and southern West Virginia are
brought into closer contact and thus
obtain better knowledge of one an
other, and better understanding of
each others problems, this unfortun-
ate condition will be corrected,
Progress Depends Upon Funds
All of these roads cannot be built
Immediately, but progress has been
and will continue to be rapid. The
law which requires that work shall
be carried on simultaneously in all
the counties, prevents the concentra-
ton Of money and labor on the COM
pletion any one route no matter how
desirable or important. Each coun-
ty has its lawful quota from the
state fund, which the State Road
Commission is not permitted to ex-
coed. Splendid cooperation may be
given by the various counties through
bond issues, and in many cases this
is being done. Every mile built by
county out of it's own funds on a
state route is of value both within
the county and to the state system.

PASSONNEAU SAYS "50-5O CON-
TRACT ALMOST ASSURED

Success of the so-called "5O-5O con-
tract" between the beet growers of
Colorado and the Great Western Su-
gar Co. is practically assured today
with the report from Morgan county
that more than 5000 acres in that Sec
ton have been added to the pool, ac-
cording to Joseph Passoneau, state
director Of markets.
"The total acreage signed up now
lacks only 10000 acres of the quota of
$4,000 acres" Mr.. Passonneau declar-
ed at meeting in Fort Morgan last
week. "This means that when t h e
conference is called between the Off
cials of the Mountain States B Be e
Growers association, and the sugar
company, the farmer is going to have
his first opportunity in history to say
what his beets are worth.
"The sugar company can hardly af-
ford to turn down the contract, be-
cause they can't make much sugar
without the $4,000 acres that are in
the pool"
The $3.50 contract is defined as
contract providing that the farmer re-
ceive fifty cents for every dollars
worth of sugar that his beets pro-
duce. ut is not the fault of the Great
Western that the farmer has not re-
ceived a better share for his products
before" said Mr.. Passonneau. ut is
simply the fault of the farmer, and it
is his fault because he has signed in
dividual contracts with the company"
