Important Pointers in Mainten
ance of Dirt Roads.
In last week’s bulletin, atten
tion was called to the necessity
for dragging the road at this
time of the year. It is exceed
ingly important that this drag
enne he done at, the ODDortune
tinte. If your roads are too soft,
the drag will have the effect of
plows. If your road is too dry,
the drag will not take hold. The
object of dragging is to give
your road a surface to sustain
the traffic, as well as a roof to
shed the water which may fall.
Be careful to see that sticks
and stones are thrown from the
roadbed. Oftentimes a drag will
uncover loose stones that may
be lying just underneath the
road surface. Take time to pick
these stones out and throw them
to one side. Every moment
spent in this character of work,
is worth money to your road. No
road can be successfully main
tained with different characters
of material in its surface make
up. A clay road should be all
clay, and holes in these roads
should not be filled with gravel,
sandy loam or other material
than clay. The same is true of
a sandy loam, the gumbo soil
and other materials. The rocks
in the road make hard spots,
consequently, producing holes in
your road- Get them out during
dragging or before you drag it,
and the results will be a uni
formly smooth road surface.

Oldfield To Decide Soon.
Batesville, Sept. 24.—Congress
man W. A. Oldfield expects to
return home the latter part of
the week or the first of the week
following. It is expected that he
will then make known his in
tentions about being a candidate
for the United States Senate.
Numerous reports have been
sent out from Washington stat
ing that he would be a candidate,
but it has been known here all
along that he would not be a can
didate until after conferring
with friends at home.
He stated when he left here to
attend the extra session of Con
gress that he would not know un
til after the extra session ad
journed whether he would op
pose Senator Clarke for the
Senate, and he has not changed
that statement since that time
It is believed that he will make
positive announcement early in
October.
1000 Men Build Roads.
Fort Smith, Sept. 23.—By ac
tual count more than 1,000 men
turned out in the Greenwood
district today to build 33 miles
of roads in compliance with a
proclamation issued by Coun
ty Judge Hester- The work will
be completed tomorrow, when
the ranks of the road workers
are expected to be swelled by
several hundred additional re
recruits. All labor is being do
nated and it was estimated here
tonight that it would cost $10,
000 to contract for the work ac
complished today. The roads
that are being built lead to La
vaca, Hackett City and Mans
field and connect more than a
dozen towns. Funds subscribed
by Fort Smith business men will
be later used to build connecting
links in the highways. Every
business house in the towns on
the route will remain closed both
days. The roads proclamation
of Judge Hester is in line with
that of Gov. Hays, but owing to
the drouth in this section it was
decided to postpone work on the
roads at the time set by the gov
ernor. A prize of $200 is offered
by Judge Hester to the district
having the largest force at work
and $100 for the second largest
gang.
