U. S. GUNBOAT OFF
FOR HONDURAS.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 9. —
Responding to an appeal from the
Honduras government to the
State department, the United
States gunboat Princeton is to
night headed for Amapala, a rev
olutionary hotbed, to look after
American interests.
The Princeton, commanded by
Commander Charles H. Hayes,
under instructions from Acting
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop,
left Cholupeea for Amapala at
1 o’clock this afternoon and
should reach there in a couple of
days. The vessel has been work
ing down the coast from San
Francisco the last ten days.
Meantime at Amapala Gen.
Jose Marie Valladares, the com
mandant , self-appointed to that
island post three years ago, and
too influential in that vicinity to
be ousted, up to the latest advices,
is a figure of interest to the
Tegucigalpa governmout.
Valladares is credited with
having made threats against the
foreigners about Amapala find
the consular corps there protested
to President Davila, who promis
ed to remove him yesterday.
But the Davila government real
ized that that action might fan
the revolutionary spark into a
blaze and took appitiona! precau
tions to safe-guard the govern
ment’s interests.

LONG DISTANCE
ROADBUILDING
Highway 380 Miles Long Fin
ished In 0 e Hoar.
ALL THE WAY ACROSS IOWA.
Ten Thousand Farmers Turned Out
With Teams, Plows, Scrapers and
Road Drags For Great Sixty Minute
Job Between Council Bluffs and
Davenport.
The greatest piece of road building
the world ever witnessed was pulled
off in lowa a few days ago when, in
the short space of one single hour, a
line of road 280 miles in length and
stretching entirely across the state of
lowa was put in the most perfect con
dition of a fry road west of the Missis
sippi river. Weeks and months were
spent in preparation for the work, but
not a pick or shove! was used until
the designated second was licked off.
Then, as if by magic, 10,000 workmen
swarmed out on to the roadway, and
when they ceased work sixty minutes
later lowa had one of tlie finest long
distance roads in the entire west.
And not the least interesting tiling
in connection with the tremendous
piece of work is the fact that not a
man of the entire 10.000 engaged on
the work received one cent of wages.
(Good will and patriotism alone are re
sponsible for the splendid showing.
I,apt winter the lowa roads became
so fearfully bad that traffic was prac
tically killed and farmers wore com
pelled simply to remain in (heir homes.
Finally the matter became a political
question, and both parties got behind
the movement. Governor Carroll call
ed a “good roads” meeting at Des
Moines early last March, and out of
this meeting was evolved the plan of a
“river to river” road, stretching from
Council Bluffs, la., on the Missouri
river to Davenport, on the Mississippi,
a distance of 380 miles straight across
the state from east to west.
“Make the river to river road as near
perfect as is possible to make just
common dirt,” was the sense of the
good roads convention.
Instead of appointing new commit
tees to handle the work the regular
Republican and Democratic commit
tees in eardi county through which the
road would pass were appealed to.
The chairmen of the committees of
each party were asked to get in the
game and work for the road. Every
body was agreed to do so, and soon a
rivalry was created between Repub
licans and Democrats, each to see
which party would have the most
workmen “on the job” when the time
for work arrived.
A Saturday was selected as the day
and fi'ipn 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock the
hour of work.
Every farmer along the way was
personally seen by the committees, and
practically every man agreed to give
the one hour that was asked for.
Farmers were asked to bring their
plows, scrapers and road drags, and an
organization equal to those employed
in professional railroad building was
worked out.
In the weeks preceding the work all
bridges and culverts along tlie road
were repaired and put in first class
order, that no delay might come to the
road builders when once the latter
started working.
The result of the organization was
shown on the Saturday the road was
built. Shortly before 9 o'clock in the
morning farmers began getting out in
the road. Hundreds and thousands of
plows, picks, shovels, scrapers, road
drags, grading machines and other im
plements were brought along. Every
farmer brought his team with him.
Superintendents and overseers had
been appointed in readiness when,
promptly at 9 o’clock, the order was
issued to “fall to.”
And 10,000 determined men “fell to.”
For an hour they continued working
with inUrhf and main. At 10 o’clock
tin* job was finished and the farmers
went back to their fields, leaving lowa
the possessor of the finest piece of long
distance roadway in the west.—Pitts
burg Gazette-Times.
Mud Roads Relic of Barbarism.
Mud roads are a relic of barbarism
and always indicate a people of slow
and uuprogressive habits. If a stran
gar should ride over all the roads In
any county and find them all mac
adamized he would be ready to bet on
the superior intelligence and enlight
VK-nf of the people, whether lie met a
single one or not. The* roads of any
county can be greatly improved by the
road drag, and now is the time to do
It. Some farms have already been en
hanced several dollars per acre by the
simple process of keeping the roads to
them in good condition by the vigorous
use of the drag.
Keep Good Roads Good.
In commercial life we are a won
derfully practical people. A man does
not let a house go to ruin for lack of
hammer and nails and a few boards
to make repairs or occasional coats of
paint to preserve the timbers. He
does not use his carriage or his steam
engine or his watch or his clothes >r
anything else on such a fool theory.
Hi, applies the wise maxims of the
“ounce of prevention” and the “atitch
In time” to his personal and business
affairs, but such maxima seem to have
no application to road maintenance.

WATSON’S PLAN TOOK
TWENTY THOUSAND.
Atlanta, Oct. 9.—Did the vote
polled for Governor Joseph M.
Brown ns an independent candi
date-for re-eldction put the final
! quietus on Thomas E. Watson
politically?
Many believe it did. Very
j many hope so, it is safe to say.
Perhaps it is hardly fair to
| speak of t he governor m this con
nection as a “candidate.” since
|by implication, if not in plain
words, he disclaimed any connec
tion with the movement which
sought to repudiate the first rule
of the Democratic white primary
| and put him in the chief execu
j five’s chair again.
Tom Watson declared himself
in his magazine editorials on the
independent movement that he
was staking his all on this etl'ort
to beat Iloke Smith.
But that is what In* said before
lie came to Atlanta to make Ins
auditorium speech that was hoot
ed down, and In* bobbed up fight
ing os hard after that as though
it hadn’t happened.
Watson was the leader of the
“independent” movement. He
conceived it, and launched it. He
went over the state making speech
es. He furnished all the noise
for it —as well as mapping out
the working details. It was in
reality a Watson campaign, a last
desperate stand of the* one-time
powerful I’opulist leader to re
coup his fast, ebbing political
strength.
And now that it failed sustain
ing about, as crushing a defeat as
the voters of Georgia have ever
dealt at the ballot box, there are
many who incline to the belief
that henceforth Watson will stay
out of the political arena.
