Smyrna times., 1923-10-24

There is no disputing the fact
that Smyrna's hotels, restaur-
ants, ice cream and soda foun-
tains, cigar stands and other
business places have felt very
materially the DETECTION of the
up and down state traffic from
Main Street to the Boulevard.
There are no considerable num-
ber of citizens who feel the
Boulevard route should have
been right thru Main Street.
There are others who feel that
Main Street was too narrow to
accommodate the growing motor
traffic and that the saving of
wear and tear on our brick
street would more than offset all
the transient trade that could
come to Main street merchants.
However, the time for action is
passed and there is no further
use arguing these points. The
thing for Smyrna to do is to
make the best of it. One thing
can help the situation immeas-
urably and that is to make at
tractive the approaches to Mair
street. A new wide concrete av.
enue from the Boulevard tt
Main and North Streets on thu
north approach, and a cOncret,
pavement from the Boulevarj
over Lake Como Causeway VI
Main street to Chestnut, at tn
south approach, would fix SmyI
ma finely and no doubt would at
tract many motorists thru tow
while the trucks, as well as ger
eral traffic, would continue o
the Boulevard. This BoulevaT
crosses Commerce street an!
way and even this approaC
could be made more attractiV
by extending the tarvia roadbt
the full width of CONNER
street from East Street to Il
Boulevard with uniform Gu
lines and /gutters. Smyrna
infinitely better situated tn
Milford or Georgetown viii
are some distance from t
dupont Boulevard. For t
beauty and material grow
of Smyrna, we should make
effort to maye all the approach
from the Boulevard as attr
tive as possible.

MAY BUILD SHELTER
 IN MAYO DISTRICT

.,., Livingston Wernecke, resident man. ager of the Treadwell interests at Mayo, says that work on all proper. ties fin the Mayo district was very sat isfactory during the summer. In the matter of ore being shipped to Mayo landing he said. the Treadwell people are shipping about 700 tons per month while other interests are exceeding this amount very little, but not enough to make the total shipments over 1900 tons per month.
 MT. Wernecke states that with 5O,. 900 tons in sight smelter could be built at Mayo and pay for itself in the smelting of this amount; but as there are now approximately only 43,000 tons in sight, the story that the Treadwell people will build smelter at Mayo this year is without founda- tiOn.
 When questioned as to his opinion of Mayos future, MT. Wernecke said that it looked bright at present, but that developments have not reached the stage where a conservative pre- diction can be made, as the process of development will slow.
 A test of the tractor versus the horse in Alaska is on between the Treadwell people, who are using Q large tractor in transporting their ore from the mines to Mayo Landing, and the Guggenheim interests, who use 4S horses for the same purpose. Up to the present time the Treadwell trac- tor has handled very nearly as much ore as the AS horses of the Guggen- heims.

AGED COLCRED MAN WHO
 WON KENTUCKY DERBY IN
 YOUTH DEAD IN MONTANA

MISSOULA, Jan. 20.-Josejh Wells colored, who claimed he once won the Kentucky Derby and was one time a member of General Nelson A. Miles's bodyguard, died of pneu- monia here at the age of 115 years. He was believed to be the oldest man in Montana.
 He was born in Louisville, Ken lucky, in 1907. His mother was a slave.
 With his mannerisms and time warped visage, his story of how he won the Kentucky Derby, strapped to the back of the winner of the Blue Grass classic, was an interest ing tale.

Recommendations were renewed again last year and the board re- versed its former action. Breaking the above mentioned rule, however, does not violate any precedent, said Colonel Gotwals, as 1t has been done on former occasions in a few in stances.

CAMPAIGN OF
DESTRUCTION
is CONTINUED
Irish Free State Is Confronted
BY Grave Problem in
Matter

Dublin, Jan. 31.-That the Free
State government still is confront
ed with q grave task is shown by
the intensified campaign Of des-
truction and incendiarism that is
being carried on by the irregular
forces. These acts are considered
proof Of the determination of the
Republicans to resort to every pos
sible means to prevent the govern
ment from functioning and break
the country's morale and thereby,
il possible, prevent the holding of
elections.
BY means known only to them
selves, the irregulars continue 70
amass arms. ammunition and ex-
plosives ann to manufacture bombs
and land mines, the destructive pow
ers of which are alarmingly great.
Two houses were mined Monday
night and completely demolished
within a few minutes.
There seems to be systematic
attack on houses belonging to men
prominently associated with Irish
newspapers.
Portions of the populace of Dub
lin are becoming apprehensive and
are asking whether the government
forces are strong enough to protect
the lives and property of citizens.
Some uneasiness also is apparent
because of the admission of Wilt
am T. Cosgrave in the Rail Eireann
that few government officials had
been suspended on suspicion Of COM
plicity in the activities of the. ir-
regulars.
