A Gospel Swamp correspondent says: We wish to call the attention of the good people of this vicinity to the fact that we stand very much in need of a postoffice. We hope that some of our influential citizens will take the matter in hand and proceed at once to supply this long-felt want. We also need a blacksmith shop.

Only 258 votes were cast, whereas it was expected the total vote would go to nearly 300. At noon 150 votes were cast. Voting during the afternoon hours was not at all brisk. Fletcher, Rust and Berdrow were elected city trustees. Merritt defeated McKinley for city clerk. H. Cahen was re-elected treasurer. The fight for marshal resulted in the re-election of N. F. Steadman. The surprise of the day was the small vote cast for Harrison Kuebler for this office. Out of the total vote of the city, he polled only six votes. Out of the first 100 votes counted, he received only one. The total vote was as follows: For city trustees, Louis S. Fletcher, 148; C. O. Rust, 137; William Berdrow, 186; Arthur W.

Hunter, and John Eymann. Lieut.-Col. W. G. Schreiber has been temporarily returned Extensive Program For Highway Work Seven Hundred Miles Ordered Improved by Commission The state highway commission between this date and September 1 will spend $600,000 throughout the state in oil treating some 700 miles of crushed rock and gravel roads, according to announcement at the commission office in Sacramento. The work will be carried on with the least possible inconvenience to the motoring public. Pointing out that the commission and engineer have approved an extensive program for oiling unpaved state highways, the announcement said that under direction of the maintenance department roads are now being prepared, materials purchased and equipment assembled for this summer's work. Sections scheduled for treatment on main routes, interstate connections and important recreational roads will be completed prior to July's heavy traffic. In this treatment the road receives two applications of fuel oil, three to six days usually intervening between each application. The first is left uncovered and allowed to soak into the highway, while the second is immediately covered with fine rock. "The effective life of the resulting surface is economically justified, not only by the immediate benefits of reduced maintenance and elimination of material loss, but also by the fact that traffic is served by dustless roads whose smoothness rivals that of more expensive construction types," the chief engineer says. "Wherever possible, suitable detours will be used. Those will be adequately signed and, as the treatment progresses rapidly, should be of short duration. Where suitable detours are lacking, the road will be oiled half width for short stretches and one way traffic controls established. Regulation of traffic under these conditions is considered necessary, especially during the period the oil lies free on the roadway. At this time speeds in excess of five miles per hour result in splashing, and too often the impatient motorist does..." McKinley, 33. For treasurer, H. Cahen. For city marshal, N. F. Steadman, 155; J. H. Brunworth, 89; Harrison Kuebler, 6. The election board was composed of H. Gade and George Bond, inspectors; A. Rimpau and J. S. Howard, judges; Joseph Hatfield and Frederick Spencer, clerks; Ralph Hunter and Max Boege, ballot clerks.
