200 MILE ASPHALT
 ROAD PROPOSED
Bee Line Highway To Be Paved South From
 Pulaski, Tenn.
Tennessee Valley Bureau)

ALBANY-DECATUR Ala, July l.- The Bee Line highway soon will have more than POO miles of asphaltic road way through southern Tennessee and northern Alabama. According to re- ports received here Maury county, Tenn, is to get work under way soon on the Pulaski Columbia pike. The road from the Morgan county capital to the Giles county line, it was stated, is to be made of the same durable substance that went into the highway from Pulaski to the Giles county line. That road is one of the best in the south. The completion of the new highway in Tennessee will leave only one really bad stretch be- tween Birmingham and Nashville, that part of the Bee Line between Athens and Ardmore being muddy in wet weather.
 There are nine miles in that stretch but it is hoped that the authorities of Limestone county will repair it before the tourists travel starts sOuthward again. Tourists over the Bee Line this fall will find good roads from the Ten nessee river southward to Birmingham. The link between Hartselle and Gull man is being finished and most of it has heen open for several months. It is as smooth as city streets. Winter will find Albany and Decatur very we'll taken care of, north and south, in the matter of good roads, but west of here the new roads hardly will be completed. Work is now being done in Lawrence county on the pike between here and Moulton but that part of the project which is in Morgan county will not be finished this year.
 Not To Close DOwn-The reported lay off of one week of the Albany Silk mills is not likely to occur, according to Ernest Wright, the manager. He stated while business is not rushing at present the matter of closing a silk plant even for few days was an ex- pensive proposition and for that reason he believed the mill would continue op- eration without interruption.

the News Champion editor believes
that most trees are killed by snow
scald- Usually the damage is done
in maybe an hour, some day in March
or April when a fresh fall of dazzling
snow reflects every particle of light
slantingly against the tree trunk and
adds its heat ia the direct rays of a
brilliant sun. The combination liter

DEBT TO BE CUT IN
UNCOMPAHGRE VALLEY
IRRIG ALTON WATER CHARGES
OF SIS AN ACRE. PILED UP
UNDER INEFFICIENT GOVERN
MENT ENGINEERS WILL PROB
ABLY BE REDUCED TO SIS

Montrose Pr"ss:-
No piece Of news has been Of such
Importance 20 the Uncompahgrc val
ley since the word flashed over the
wires twenty year, ago that the gov
erumeut Of The United States had de-
cided 10 construct the Gunnison tun-
mel. A. that which was sent from
Washington last week to the effect
that the Fact Finding commission
named hy Hubert Work. secTe;ary Of
the Interior, TO make investigation in
20 the reclamation projects, would
make a report TO congress about April
10Th, recommending that the basis of
charge by the government for all pro-
jccts would be the original contract
price and not the price that the pro-
ject actually cost.
When the news was printed in the
Daily Press last Saturday, the teic-
phones were made exceedingly busy
carrying the glad news to all parts OF
the valley 10 the farmers. and little
knots OF people could be seen every
where on the streets earnestly discus
sing the question, and a general air Of
optimism was quickly replacing the
depression that has been felt for the
past several years, owing 10 the fears
that the labor Of many years would be
wiped out by the excessive cost OF the
Uncompahgrc project, which had been
figured by the government officials at
SIS an acre. Hardly farm under the
project could pay such an amount in
twenty years, ard many gave up ard
moved away when it was felt theY
could not stand the strnin any longer.
The original contract for the cor
struction of the project was s25 an
acre. The farmers of the Uncompah-
gre valley can easily pay the SIS an
acre, but the larger figure was pro
hibitive. Believing that ultimately
the right would prevail. the Water
Users Association and others. have
gone on contcsting business OF such
n proposition on the part of the gov
crnment, and on the coming into Of
fee of Secretary Of the Interior, HUI
bert Work, Colorado man, they felt
that their case could he presented 10
one who understood the conditions
and the Fact Finding commission was
the result.
The Water Users Association put
the entire matter into the hands of
Charles ]. Moynihan and Judge F. W.
Catlin, and these men, armed with all
the facts went to the fact finding
hearing at Salt Lake City. and pres
ented the side of the land owners in
such forceful manner, along with
all other projects, that the commits
sion listened.
The splendid report the commission
is about TO make and has agreed upon
is the result of the Salt Lake City
hearing. "Hope. therefore, springs
eternal in the human breast" and hope
has dawned again in the great
Uncompahgre valley.
