Franklin Ladies Send
Out Appeal for Old
Loved Burial Plot

The Advertiser is glad to publish the
following communication received at the
office this week, relative to keeping one
OF Holmes county's hallowed spots in
presentable shape, and for the senti-
ment attached to friends and relatives
who have loved ones sleeping in this
old burial ground. The letter follows;
up to fifteen years ago, the cemetery
at Franklin was neglected spot, over
run by sassafras sprouts that were fast
becoming trees, as we'll as grass and
unsightly weeds. Then the Ladies Aid
Society OF the Franklin Presbyterian
cnurch took charge of the cemetery, had
1t cleaned up and kept it clean. But
the society was small and they could
40 this only with the help of those peo-
PIE who had an interest there, so thev
sonclted yearly donation of 81 90 from
each family with relatives buried there.
AZ 1lrst this request was responded to
"liilngiy and promptly, but as time
passed, people seemed to regard this as
gift to the society and some ignored
is.e request altogether. Now, there are
oniy seven names on the rolls Of the
society and they cannot carry on this
work without the aid Of those who have
buried here, and if those peo-
p!e VINO have moved away appreciate the !

Two Hurt; One Badly
When Bridge Falls
In, Near Eulogy

The collapse of bridge in course Of
construction and almost completed with
the exception of placing and boiling the
truss beams across the 4O-foot span over
Houses creek in Beat 1, about miles
from Eulogy, and II miles southwest of
Lexington, resulted in a serious acci-
dent to Elmer Froma and L. johnson,
OF Durant, Monday morning about 8
o'clock, Elmer Froma being pinned un-
der the heavy timbers and receiving Sc
we're injuries of the back, head and
stomach. Johnson was also caught in
the fall, but did not suffer serious in
jury, as his wounds consist Of painful
bruises on his legs and hands.
According to L. Froma, brother of
the injured man, four of them, includ-
ing R. Keith, had carried their trucks
down there to get load Of lumber from
the mill located on Guy Malone's place,
and proceeded to 60 out on the bridge
to ascertain if the structure would allow
thaga to cross with the loads As john
se.f and Froma reached the middle OF
the bridge, they were in the act of test
ing and shaking it, when the structure
gave way, carrying them with it, pin
ming them in the crash that followed,
they were hurriedly extricated and
'ushed to Lexington in Frank Hocu's !!
ruck, and examination made by DR.. F. |
!. Bott, who recommended that Mr..
'orma pc carried to his home at Du-
ant, where further developments must !
e awaited. due to probable complica-
ions and internal injuries. He was
laced in c. S. Harrelps ambulance and
ushed to Durant, and the other men in
ne party accompanied him to this place

ity. I,
The accident is greatly deplored as i

WILLIAMS INFORMS ROAD BUILDERS AT
 SESSION, ALASKA
ALASKA DELEGATE TO CLEVE- LAND CONVENTION MAKES
 INTERESTING TALK

Road builders from Maine mingled with road builders from California, as well as from Mexico and Alaska, in fact from just about every State in the Union, at the recent 18th conven- tion of the American Road Builders, at Cleveland the forepart of last month.
 The delegate to the convention from Alaska was M. D. Williams, district engineer of Alaska, Bureau of Public Roads. And that he served Alaska we'll is evidenced by copy of the Cleveland Press, which reached The Gateway office in the last mail
 Extracts from the convention bear ing on Mr. Williams, and Alaska, are republished:
 Altho handicapped by every natur- al handicap, great progress in road building is being made in Alaska, Will Hams reported at the opening session.
 IA discussion of road construction methods in Alaska before a group of men like this,'' he said, "is very much like demonstrating kindergarten meth ods as an educational feature before class of calculus.
 Many of the methods which circum stances and conditions force upon us have long been superseded in the greater portion of the United States. Ours is an archipelago comprised of thousands of islands varying from a few square feet to million acres-all heavily timbered and interspread with navigable waterways.
 "The saturated condition of the ground" Williams pointed out, makes the use of heavy equipment impossi- ble." In practically all cases subgrades are allowed to settle and drain for one year before an attempt is made to apply surfacing.
 "The maintenance and construc- l ton of all roads during the winter months offers number of unusual problems the speaker declared. First, the very short period of day light practically precludes all con struction should weather conditions permit, and in the higher and inland portions of the territory glaciating of small streams and heavy nowfall make snow removal and winter main tenance impossible.
 Coast roads are open at all times, altho the maintenance is made diffi- cult because of the varying frost con ditions in the saturated, subsoil. These roads are maintained by the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads under the Federal highway act. Approximately S5OO.0OO of Federal forest funds are expended annually by this organixa- ton in cooperation with the Territor- ial Board"
