RED RID TO GOLF
Dallas Takes the Lead and Solicits
Co-operation of Other Counties
Alorg the Line.
A Dallas special to the Galveston
News says:
A macadam roadway from Red River
to Galveston will soon be built if the
plans of the county engineers' depart
ment of Dallas county and the Dallas
Automobile Club are carried out. The
proposed road will be a little more
than four hundred miles in length and
will pass through Grayson, Collin, Dal
las, Ellis, Hill, Mclennan, Falls, Rob
ertson, Brazos, Grimes, Waller, Harris
' and Galveston counties.
Assistant County Engineer Cade has
been in correspondence with members
of the commissioners' courts in most
of the counties through which the
proposed road is to pass, and all from
whom he has heard have expressed
themselves as being favorable to the
idea and have indicated a willingness
to assist In building the road.
One hundred and fifty miles of the
proposed road is already macad
amized, but it will require the united
efforts of all the counties to close up
the gaps along the route. The road as
proposed will be to take the most
practicable direct route and pass
through the county seats of the vari
ous counties.
Beginning at Red River, Grayson
county reports that there is ten miles
of good macadam along the proposed
route, Collin county 5, Dallas 30, El
lis 15, Hill 10, McLennan 13, Falls 20,
Waller 10, and from Houston to Gal
veston the joad is already completed.
Grimes, Robertson and Brazos coun
ties have not yet been heard from,
but all the others interested seem to
favor the project.
Another route is also being consid
ered, and whether or not the first one
outlined will be the one chosen de
pends on the commissioners' courts
of Robertson, Brazos and Grimes coun-
' ties.
The other route being discussed is
the same as the first one as far as
Waco. From there it is proposed to
go through Bell, Williamson, Travis,
Hays, Comal and Bexar, then to Har
ris and Galveston. Some of the pro
ponents favor the second route, stat
ing that this route has many advan-
;t:cs over the ether from the fact
1 that many more miles of the road
'are already built.
! Several of the counties along the
line have Issued bonds to be used In
improving their roads and In others
bond issues are contemplated, and tm?
i promoters of the idea are confident
'that it will not be long before auto
imobllists and others will have a first
! class road from the northern border
;of the state to the coast.

HANDICAPPED.
This Is the Case with Many Dryan
People.
T o many Bryan citizens are handi
cap el with a bad back. The unceas
ing pain causes constant misery, mak
ing work a burden and stooping or
lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest, and in the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may give
relief, but can not reach the cause.
To eliminate the pains and aches you
must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills help sick Kid
neys. The following statement should con
vince every Rryan reader of their effi
ciency. Mrs. A. F. Thomas, of Navasota,
Texas, says: "I am glad to recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills, as they
proved to be an excellent kidney rem
edy. I suffered for some time from a
severe pain in my back. This caused
me a great deal of misery and worry.
I had heard so much ot Doan's Kidney
Pill 3 that I procured a box and in a
short time after I began using them,
every symptom of my trouble disap
peared. I gave a public statement
recommending this remedy over a
year ago, and I am now glad to say
that I have had no recurrence of my
former trouble."
