"The good roads movement In the east does not coiuixtre with that of the west," snld Horace O. (iordon of tho Oklahoma Good Roads association while lie was In New York on a visit. "I think the work of the good roads advocates in the east has stirred u;> the public demand and desire for 'the l>est roads in the world' la the west, but I do not believe the eastern states are carrying out the work so thorough ly us the western states. "We In the west appreciate the fact that tho opening of the western coun try depends entirely upon Its roads, and we are not going to build high ways which will last merely a decade, like your eastern state roads, to be torn up by automobiles. "We are building roads which the motor cars cannot tear up. We feci that the automobile can do us more good than the horse, because we have to cover hundreds of miles where you In the east cover tens of miles. "It seems a ridiculous thing to build n road for the use of the horse, which is on the decline, and then when tho automobile comes along and tears it up to jump up and yell that the motor car is destroying our roads. The thing to do Is to build roads for the automo bile, and then the horse can use them as long as he lasts, which will not be a great while." Forest Service and Good Roads. Realizing that with thicker settle ment and iucreaslng use of the na tional forests good roads will become more and more a crying necessity, it has been arranged that the otlice of public roads of the department of agriculture shall co-cperate with the forest service in drawing up plans for comprehensive systems of roads and trails in the na tional forests. Hitherto the funds al lotted by congress to the forest service for permanent Improvements on na tional forests have largely been used for road and trail building, but the amount is too small compared with the total area of the forests to make i>os sible more than a small beginning. Building each year under the new ar rangement can be done with refereuce to a carefully worked out plan, escap ing the danger of undirected effort. The roads, trails, telephone lines and fire lines alrendy constructed in na tional forests are proving of great value both in the work of fire protec tion and In serving the convenience of the public. The further'this work can be carried the greater will be the use fulness of the forests to the surround ing regions. This Is only one of the many ways In which the forest service la promoting the interests of the peo ple. Poor Roads Bad For Smoker*. "It's hard to run out of 'tobacker' during wet times." complained a farm er, "being headed off from the source of supply by Impassable roads and with nothing to do but to brood over the situation."
