where | lived were summoned twice
year to work the road from Opos-
sum Greek to Roberts Rock, a dis
lance of about four miles. This
road received a part of days work
just before February court and an
other two days just before August
Court. That was the sum total Of
all the work the road received. PeO-
pie at that time rode to church on
horseback and hauled their goods in
a tar axle wagon. Not many We
hicles passed over the highways.
Then there came buggies and car
iages-traffic increased. The law
was so amended that convicts were
placed on the thoroughfares. A tax
was levied on the property for road
purposes. Then came the motor We
hicle and traffic increased so rapidly
that the Federal and State Govern
ments gave aid to road Improvement.
Then there are four great forces
which are cooperating with each
other for the betterment of the high
ways of our State-the people liv-
ing on or near the roads, the county
and state in which they are located
and the Federal Government. If the
best results are to be achieved,
there must be close and harmonious
cooperation of all these forces All
must work together. There must be
pushing and pulling.
Some time ago there was a prog
ress meeting held in the little town

doctors, merchants and farmers
made speeches. Everyone was of the

meeting was about to adjourn when
q black negro named Enoch Butler
who was in the gallery said, white
folks, viii You let a negro say d

He came down and said that there
must be cooperation wtth every
body-white and black.
Gentlemen, there must be pushing
and pulling. All must help. We must
not be like the deacons of a colored
church who decided that the pastor
must have a new suit of clothes, but
all lived in a boil weevil country
and had no money. They all agreed
however, to bring such products as
they had, carry the same to town,
sell and get the suit. The day came.
Some brought corn, some meat,
some syrup and some potatoes. The
wares were put in a wagon to which
was hitched a pony and all started

PINE TIMBER SUPPLY
Good Timber Becoming More and
More Important, Turner Eays,
After Survey

ATLANTA, Ga, May 24.--The
conservation and proper utilization Of
the southern forests is one of the
biggest problems confronting the
south today, Roland Turner, direc-
tor of the development service of
the Southern Railway stated today,
Mr.. Turner has been making a study
of the problem and he declared it
has q bearing on every business and
individual in the south.
As the south continues its pres
enC rapid development, the question
of a good timber supply will become
more and more important" Mr.
Turner stated. The exhaustion of
our nearby supply of timber simply
means that We must go farther and
farther back each year for or lum-
Der. With the exhaustion OF our
Eastern forests we must turn more
and to our last great reservoir of
timber, the Pacifice Northwest. Tie
convert these forests into timber and
to haul it across the continent or
around the coast to the south in
wolves an economic loss ohargable
to forest improvidence in the
south and which the southern lumber
consumer must pay in cash.
The United States Forest service
states that southern yellow pine con-
tinues to be the most important sim
gle factor in the lumber production
of the country, furnishing about for
ty-one per cent of the cut Of soft
wood timber and thirty-five per cent
of the entire lumber cut in the coun-

tant factor for the next ten or fif-

rabbit and the dogs. The festive
hare was being chased by the fleet
footed CANNES. Over fields and
through woods was the chase. Bye
and bye a road was reached and the
rabbit ran up the highway as fast
as his little feet could carry him. The
dogs were not far behind. Some men
watched the chase and cried out to
the rabbit, run, rabbit, run" The
little fellow had his ears levelled
and was going at full speed, but the
saying is he followed out, Il am do
ing my best-stop the damn dogs.
Gentlemen, you are doing your best,
Just stop the barking, chasing critics

F|REMEN MAKE MERRY
At ANNUAL BALL At B|JO

Everything is set for the sixteenth
annual ball of the Ely Volunteer fire
department, which will occur OF Bio
hall Monday evening. The annual
ball of the fire department is always
looked forward TO by all the young
people who like TO attend a duly ap-
pointed social function, hence, of
course, the affair will be well attend
ed. The giving of an annual ball is
the only means which the fremen
have of replenishing their treasury,
as they serve the city without pay.
From their treasury ONE the funds
which are instrumental in holding
the department together by giving
occasional smokers and other enter
tainments pulled off during the year.
The treasury is also used not in.
frequently to assist brother fremer
who have been hurt in the line of
duty and without which some of
them would be put to great incon-
yenience in times of temporary need.
Ely has every reason to feel proud
of its fire department., which is I'M

state, ranking up well with regular
/ paid fire departments. The very fact
that Ely has never been visited with
a destructive fire is due to the eff
cheney OF the local fire department.
In fact, their heroic work Christ
mas night saved what otherwise
might have been a very disastrous
fire, and this is only one instance Of
many similar occurrences during the
present year.
Business men and property own
ers are naturally expected to pur-
chase IS tickets for the ball, whether
they expect to use them or not Many
business houses have always been in
the habit of purchasing several such
tickets, and it is hoped for the well
fare Of the department that they will
always continue The same liberal pat
ronage.

INLAND TRANSPORTATION

Inland communities distant from actual or pro-
ected waterways likely to take little interest in the
water transportation problem, because they think it
does not affect them What have they to do they ask
with the navigation of the eastern and western
coasts, the Mississippi the Great Lakes etc?
That question is being partly answered already in
the effect that increasing coasttocoast water trans
portation through the Panama Canal is having the
transcontnental railroads The roads are lowering
rates to meet the water competition. Also-and per-
haps this is more importan-they improving their
service
With much of the bulky transportation taken off
their hands, the railroads left with better facilities
to handle what is left, and they inspired by the
new competition to increase their facilities. Thus
many inland section which hitherto has had no
transportation outlet either by land water stands
to profit by the railroad situation. When ships
and river steamers and canal barges take full advant
of water facilities it will be the most natural thing
in the world for the railroads to turn inland laying
tracks and bidding for business wherever there is raf
fic to be had.
1t is shortsghted policy, therefore, which leads
people in any part of the country to discourage water
traffic and oppose reasonable expenditure for har-
bors, navigable rivers and canals.

this section of the state stands in special and pecu
lar need of just such he. But it is generally
recognized that is of just such stuff of which he is
made that judges must in order to preserve
the confidence in the courts that is necessary to MAIN

Judge Conkling is rugged type of judge He is
well grounded in the law; lie has had much expert
ence he has courage he possesses honesty and nteg
rty; he has the physical we'll the intellectual
strength to carry the increasing burden of ursprud
We think the people generally of Imperial Valley
will agree with the Press in this estimate of our good
friend and neighbor. In this particular instance the
rate of Judge Conkling in his legitimate and praise
worthy aspirations for higher honors lies in the hands
of the governor of the state There smany con-
tenders but certainly there is who more
honorably satisfactorily fill the position than

the continent And the people of the country will gain
