P I "Mother, the old car certainly deserves

our old friend Car ought to have a new

“We can’t any of us afford to gamble on whether

ANOTHER INVESTMENT THAT
PAYS DIVIDENDS.
In yesterday’s Independent we at
tempted to emphasize the great need
of good roads in Jackson county and
explain that all the “booms” do not
fall flat and fail to pay dividends.
AH that we had to say in this argu
ment of yesterday may well apply tc
the standstill that has been estab
lished dir Newport among our citizens
who do not favor civic development
and advancement.
We once knew a man who opposed
the building of a railroad through
fhis town because it would change the
appearance of things. It seems that
some of our Newport citizens would
oppose the expansion of our city be
cause it would necessitate the removal
of some of our old landmarks tc
which we have all grown accustomed
For instance, there is the mud on
Front street just after a rain which
'sticks and in which one is compelled
to wallow almost to get through. If
an estimate of the cost of the upkeep
of Front street, that portion unpaved,
for the past ten years could be ar
rived at, we will venture to say that
the thoroughfare could have been
paved ad almost paid for with the
amount, which would prove bigger
than many imagine.
The streets of Newport should be
paved, and a plan to give the city
protection against high waters, fitf

Then arises the imperative need for
