"Cheer up! The worst is yet to come"
comforted the clerk. Harvey glared at
him. and then, with grin, wheeled about
and strode away to his apartments. An
hour later, as he entered the brightly
illuminated park, he found assembled
there, an audience of at least a thousand
people. Many nations were represented,
and most every walk in life seemed to
have contributed its quota of representa-

ENALD beaumont neeOS no lntrO-
duction to you l am sure. If you
are not acquainted with him
through the medium of his stories, which
appear in the Red Book each month, you
are missing out on something. Of all the
writers who tell of the individuals, whom
we class among the, sporting gentry,
Gerald Beaumont stands alone. l shall
attempt to analyze the reason for his i'm
mense popularity and incidentally why
the Red Book magazine pays him an al
most fabulous sum for every one of his
stories.
Beaumont is a versatile writer, yet his
stories all have to do with class of peo-
pie who could be listed in the same cate
CORY For time he confined his efforts
entirely to the various members of a Coast
League Ball Team and be it known in
this connection that he halls from the
Golden West Then the Information Kid
and Henry the Rat were introduced to
his public, and two more lovable char
acters are not known to the reading pub
lie. Both are typical race-track hustlers,
crooked when the end justifes the means,
but always adhering strictly to their in
dividual code of ethics.
Stories of the border towns have come
from MrA Beaumonts gifted pen; tales
of professional gamblers, pugiIists, touts,
and poets. He understands the people he
writes about as a class, and it would be
impossible for him to create his charac-
tiers if he were not familiar with them,
their environment, their loves, prejudices
and hardships, their camaraderie, and all
that goes into the making of their kind,
for they are as a people apart.
l believe that l have read every story
that Gerald Beaumont has ever written,
indeed l would consider it a calamitous
happening if / should miss one. But try
as / have / cannot name one that was
better than the others, like his stories of
the turf best, but if there is the slightest
preference for any ore story it is Rose of
Kildare. No one but true son of the
Emerald Isles could have written it, yet
one does not need to be Irish to appre-
ciate the sentiment and pathos. 1t was
essentially Irish nevertheless, bringing
memories of the Irish ballads so popular
few years back-Mother Machree, The
Tumble-Down Shack in Athone and My
Wild Irish Rose. The story was beauti-
full; you shared the loves and trials of
the gossoon and his colleen Drawn. Yes
I'm Irish, so perhaps prejudiced.
Then there was Lovin Reilly, broken
down race-horse, who was retained by his
mistress the keeper of a second-rate
boarding house for jockeys because of
the strong bond of sentiment that en-
deared him to the big-hearted woman
The jocks were her "byes,' and each and
every one was ready to do battle for her
upon the slightest provocation. Then
Lovin Reilly was given the once over by
a shrewd hustler and daily workouts be-
came the. order. A storm came up during
one of these, and the hustler discovered
that the broken down dog" was hound
in the mud. Of course Loyin Reilly won
the race with the jocks playing him on
the nose. Page 2, Col. 81

dry weather and the very wet
weather shows it up.
Ever since the agitation for the
bond roads was started, it has been
stated and admitted, that it would
be absolutely necessary to expend
considerable money annually on the
roads to keep them in repair after
they were built. 1t has been re-
peatedly stated by prominent men in
the county whose counsel is usually
considered worth needing, that if the
new bond roads did not receive con-
siderable attention and repairing
right thru from the summer of 1920,
they would "go to pieces" in three
or four or five years and we should
lose the main part of the investment
before we had hardly started to pay
for them. A good many men had be-
moaned the circumstance of our be-
ing without funds at this period so
that we could not protest and pre-
serve the new roads. Others have
bemoaned the fact that we have a
board of county commissioners who
are so close penny-wise that they
were not expanding money on the
roads to preserve them from going to
pieces.
At first we accepted these things
as being correct, just because so
many people were saying it was so
or it would be so. Each year we
have seen more evidence that it is
not true. The places where the
roads have broken thru and got into
hod GO
far apart that it does not constitute
a greater fractional part of the
whole construction than one expects
and finds when he builds a house or
a store or when town builds
sewer system or a waterwOrks or
when any ordinary construction is
accomplished. There is always some
defective material creeping into the
average job or some work is done
that is not well done or the materials
in spots are not well understood and
do not prove satisfactory, and some
thing has to be taken out and done
over or if it is a pipe line it caves
in at places where it was thought to
have been done like the rest. In this
new country where materials are not
all well understood, where people
Ire not much disposed to take time
% do things for great permanence,

OUR ROADS HAVE
TAUGHT US

The, roads of this county are q
subject worthy Of some special re-
Election and comment at this time,
and especially because there is a les
son in it for us all.
There has been considerable rain
and this has put the roads to the
test, and made an enforced compari-
son between the fiat roads that have
never been disturbed or graded, and
between the graded roads and those
that have been graded and surfaced
with some hard coat.
The comparison is the more valu-
able to the people of this county be-
cause it clears up some popular mis-
takes that have been carried in
mind, and which it is worth real
money to exchange for the truth so
we shall not go on making the old
mistakes and spending our money
accordingly.
1t has often been said that the
roads had better never be graded at
all than to grade. and not surface
them, and examples can be pointed
out to prove it, But there are ex-
captions to this rule and people can
at this time study the roads and dis
cover the exceptions. The undrained
and the fiat roads where the soil is
spongy, possessing no gravel and
clay or hardpan mixture. Such
places need grading and draining,
but much fine native roadbed has
been ruined by grading and the very

crumbles or it gets wet and soft and
breaks thru.
1t seems to us that the people of
this county have reason to feel a
degree of satisfaction which they
have not felt justified until recently
Those who have felt that the roads
were being lost by lack of repairs
can go out and find nearly the whole
of that property in fine condition and
rendering service of great value
during the rainy season this fall,
with prospects of accommodating a
heavy winter traffic to enable the
potato growers to follow the pro-
gram of orderly marketing thru the
winter. There have been times when
potatoes were in demand at good
prices and we had rain and no roads
that we could haul over. That can
hardly happen to more than a frac-
ton of the farmers this year for the
roads reach to most of the centers of
production and of shipment. The
slogan during the time of locating
the bond roads was to let the people
say where to locate them, and the
people said to connect the farms with
the loading centers.
This country is subject for con-
graduation on account Of the ex-
tended program of road construction
covering the past two years, that we
did not have to pay much money for
nor issue any bonds for. The county
officers who discovered the way and
found the means to get state and
federal aid, and have pulled the
several projects along TO completion
have had long, hard job, job that
others had failed to accomplish at
all, and all the disagreeable details
and annoyances of the construction
period will be forgotten in the en-
joyment of the fine roads now open
to use.
