Built For the Future. BRIDGES AHE OF CONCRETE Construction of Roadway j and Bridges the Best That Money Can Obtain. El Paso county can boast of more substantial roads than any other coun ty ta the state. The first road iu EI Paso county, rttru'ariv surveyed and graded, "was the rnnii flmrn th vallav through Ysleta, I Socorro. San Elizarlo, and ending- at Qiedrllla. It was built in 1SS6. The first macadam road iu El Paso county was built Iu 1906, under tne ad ministration of the commissioners court over which judge Sweeney so ably presided. In 190S the taxpayers of this county TO..C-1 a quarter of a million dollars to improve the roads of this, county. That marked the beginning of that extensive system of road, building- that will give to the public a 50 mile driveway through the entire irrigated section of the Rio -..i. miiav ,ti cm Pacn eouniv When completed, as it it will be by the close of the present year. El Paso county will takfc a front rank In modern road build ing, among the counties of our country. 1 The term modern road, is meant a roac that will endure modern traffic. Automobiles and Roads.

Its placing is a simple process. Imagine an old fashioned macadam road, just built, the rock still loose. Heat a tank of asphalt to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and pour it on the rock, 20 pounds to the square 5'ard. Then while the asphalt is still hot, dash on top a half inch of screenings (a small rock the side of a pea) and follow this Immediately with a 10 ton roller, mash ing the screenings and hot asphalt down Into the voids of the large rock, and iron it with the 'roller until it is emooth. Half an hour after this Is done, it is read- for any kind of trif fic, and the longer it Is dorvn, the bet ter and smoother if becomes. -First Cla8 Rosdx Only. The plan that the commissioners' court has steadfastly adhered to, has been to build a first class highway throujrh the irrigated section of the JRio Grande valley In this county. In spite of fervent appeals to expend the bond issue in cross roads and side lines, the court has remained firm, and the end of the present year will see an ahphalt enacadam road from Anthonv on the wet to Fabens on the east, a speedway of 50 miles through a valley that in a j few years is destined to be celebrated I as one of the most beautiful and pro- j ductive spots on earth.

Thev also say that this alleged . maioritv will vote against any saloon restrictive measure, such as the pro posed three mile and quart sale laws. The claim of these antl-prohlbltionists may be well founded, although it is known that a majority of jow favor the proposition of submitting a state wide prohibition amendment to the constitution to a vote of the people of the state. But as it takes a two-thirds vote of the house and senate to do this the submission strength in the legislature mav not count for anything.

The legislators would probably vote on the 'proposition as they did at the las-t regular session, almost to a man. The suggestion has been made that governor Campbell will not submit any anti-saloon legislation at tlie special ession unless petitioned to do so by a majority or good working strength of , the two bodies. It is expected that the pressure from the prohibitionists that statutory prohibition be considered at this session will be very strong. Conipbeir Control. Il is a well known fact that a retiring governor has very little control over the legislature, either in special or n-gular session. He has no patronage at his disposal, his political utility to the members of the lawmaking body Is practically at an end. The legislators have no further favors to ask of him and l)is recommendations usually count for little. It Is a case of "the king is dead, long live the king." Unless all s'gns fall governor Campbell has cut out a heap of trouble for himself dur- InS the coming dog days of summer.

The interest in the proposed repeal of the fire Insurance rating- board law and the enactment of a measure to take its place is state -ivide. The law directly affects almost every business interest and home otvuer in the state. The insur ance companies are said to be deter mined to fight for a fair test of the present law, and if it is repealed they will seek to have a new measure enact ed that will be as much to their Inter est as possible. The lenirth of tne SDecIal session is i ' problematical. It is certain that all of I j 30 days will be occupied, and it is not Improbable that a second session may J ne called to finish the business that the J i governor may recommend for considera- J ! tion.

The crovernor is said to have several matters on his slate which he wants the legislature to clea.n up before he retires from office. The Texas Liquor Dealers' associ ation, through Its representatives, is making a strenuons effort to have the test provided for voters at the coming primaries by the state Democratic ex ecutive committee Ignored In the anti prohibition counties in order that Re publicans may vote.

"When she was a girl it was necessary to sew everything by hand as the machines had not yet been invented.

When she was a girl of 17, Mrs. Pickrell, who -was still Elizabeth Vin cent Titus, .went with her parents to the great lakes country of northern Ohio, where her grandfather had been good enough to leave her father a large tract of land. This was near AVaugh paughkaughnetta, which name was obligingly spelled by syllables by Mrs. Pickrell, -who said the name had been that of a bier indlan chief who had probably died young, because of the weight of such a name.

DI Cameron, During His First Term, Gets Them Through. Smith Failed in Eleven. 4 HISTOEIC FLAG FOE NEW MEXICO Standard That Waved Over National Capitol When Statehood Bill Passed. AVashington, D. C, June 25. Dele gate Cameron got $30,000 for a public building for Phoenix in the public buildings bill, which was finally passed by both houses yesterday, and $15,000 each for sites for public buildings at Globe, Tucson and Douglas. "If he had been here 22 years, like Mark Smith was, he would have got public build Ing for every city in the territory," re marked an admiring friend today. As a matter of fact Smith never got apubllo building for Arizona all the time he was In congress, neither did he ever succeed in getting through a statehood bill. Cameron got putjlic building appropria tions for four cities and got the state hood bill through in his first term. Delegate Andrews of New Mexico, has secured the flag that waved over the capitol the day the statehood bill was concurred in by the house, and will send it with the pen with which president Taft signed the statehood bill, and a photo of the president, to the New Mex ico Historical society. Following the signing of the state hood bill, the president called for a number of his own photos and after writing some appropriate, words, and signing hi? name gave them around. Then delegate Andrews requested one for New Mexico, and the president wrote upon it: To my friends In New Mexico. AYith congratulations on their certain prospect of early statehood. AV. H. Taft." This is the one Andrews said he would give to the historical society. As all were shaking the hand of the president, after the signing of the bill, the president said: "Now all must work antr work hard to secure a good consti tution, with no freaks in It. And I hope it will not be necessary to send Mr. -Bryan out there to write the con stitutions." v In the box containing the pen which delegate Andrews handed to the presi dent for signing the bill, was printed this statement: "This pen is presented to the president o'f the United States, to be used'in sign ing the act of congress granting state hood to the territory of New Mexico.

There was rather a sad story in con- nection with the quill pen. Mr. Pax- ton, who supplied it, was owner of large landed, irrigation and mining interests in Taos county. Although very iH, he had remained for several months in the city expecting to have the pleasure of. seeing the president sign the bill with that pen, but he died the day before the bill was passed the last time in the house, and the remains were shipped to Joplin, Missouri, the day before the bill was signed.
