The special session of the
Texas legislature, now in ses
sion, has ratified the national
prohibition amendment and
increased the “dry” area of
that state by passing a law
creating a ten-mile prohibition
zone around all military
camps, including cities where
shipbuilding plants are work
ing on government contracts.

their work has been largely a
matter of pride in superior
sake. Now there is the added
incentive that every gain ef

has the fuil knowledge that
his or her individual efforts
are not only appreciated but

spur them to the effort to dis

Plans are Completed for
North Arkansas Road
(Continued from front page)
Louisiana line, another from
Little Rock to Memphis, anoth
er from Little Rock to Hot
Springs and another from Lit
tle Rock to Fort Smith, thus
covering all the state except
North Arkansas. Hon. T. J.
Raney of Newark who was in
Little Rock at that time as a
member of the State Charity
Board, had a bill drawn bv the
well known law firm of Rose,
Hemmingway, Cantrell & Lou
ghborough forming a road dis
trict from Little Rock to Bates
ville and Mammoth Spring.This
was only ten days before the
legislature adjourned and Mr.
Raney took the bill to Senator
W. O. Edmondson who intro
duced it in the Senate and se
ured its immediate passage by
the senate.
When the bill reached the
House, a number of difficulties
were encountered, among them
being opposition by the repre
sentatives from Pulaski, Lo
noke, and White counties who
launched a tight upon the bill.
Mr. Raney went to the Little
Rock Board of Trade and se
cured the co-operation of that
organization which resulted in
lining up the Pulaski county
delegation for the bill. The
matter was then taken up with
the business men of Searcy
which resulted in a train load
of the leading citizens of that
town going to Little Rock and
lining up the White county
representatives for the bill.
This resulted in giving the Lo
noke county delegation the
same thing that Teddy got at
the Republican National Con
vention at Chicago in 1912 and
the bill passed by a large ma
jority
After the passage of the bill,
the railroads offered consider
able opposition while it was
; awaiting the governor’s signa
ture. This however, was of
no avail and the bill was sign
ed and became a law.
A similar law' creating a
road district from Little Rock
to Louisana was carried
through the supreme court and
stood the test. The U. S. War
Department recently declared
the road a military necessity
and the government will aid in
pushing construction of *he
road.
The North Arkansas High
way has been surveyed from
Little Rock to Batesville and
the State Highway Depart
ment has completed the plans,
blue print and profile of the
entire road. This would havt>
cost about $25,000 if done by
paid engineers. But the com
missioners have done the work
with the aid of the State High
way Department at an expen
se of only about $1,000, which
has been paid by the various
counties. This is one of the
few districts ever organized
that is practically ready for
construction work where the
district itself has not been out
a dollar’s expense.
The U. S- Government has
put up .$67,500 for its part of
the cost of the road through
Independence, Jackson and
White counties, and it is said
that Pulaski and Lonoke have
money enough to build all
their part of the road.
The following letter to Mr.
Raney, Independence county’s
member of the North Arkan
sas Highway Commission
shows that the matter is now
up to the various county judg
es for their approval.
Hon. T. J. Raney,
Newark, Ark.
Dear Sjr:
This will be your advise that
complete sets of plans for filing
in the various counties togeth
er with necessary court orders
for filing same will leave this
office Tuesday morning Feb
ruary 26th.
I am very sorry these plans
have been delayed but when
you receive them you will
realize the great amount of
work necessary in their prep
aration.
Yours very truly,
H. R CARTER.
State Highway Engineer.
The commissioners anti coun
ty judges of the various coun
ties through which the road
will pass, will have a meeting
at Newport today for the final
approval of the plans.
Mr. Raney states that the
commissoiners expect to be
able to begin work on the road
the coming summer. It is their
plan to clear, ditch and grade
the road and put on enough
gravel this year to protect the
road and then complete the
work next year. Through Big
Bottom and Oil Trough it will
be necessary to put down a
foundation of flat rock eight
or ten inches thick and cover
this with a coating of gravel
or crushed rock. It is planned
to secure these flat foundation
stones from the cull slabs at
the Pfeiffer Quarry near Bates
ville which it is said can be
done at small cost.
The entire length of the
road through Independence
county is to be graded and sur
faced with gravel or crushed
stone.
The great value of such a
road as this is plainly apparent
to any thinking man and the
