The force is now about Double Branches and will continue to up the road as far aa Gilgal, then they will move lock, stock and barrel over to Plum Branch anti work down to Liberty Hill. Mr. Edmunds expects t<> reach Plum Branch in about a week. Owing to the limited number ol' convicts, the work of improving the roads must of necessity progress slowly, and yet where they do work it is thoroughly done. Should Not Monopolize Automobile owners and drivets are asking whether or not carriers of the Uuited States mail have a right to monopolize the public road. It matters not what their legal rights are, mail carriers, like ail other good citizens, should be will ing to share the public roads with other travelers. Even if a servant of the national government did have the legal right to hold the center of a public highway (which right The Advertiser does not concede) a man who posses-es a magnanimous spirit would not claim that right to toe embarrassment and inconveni euee of his fellowman.

"The onlA* difficulty which we had enroute, said Mr. Gray, was in being hauled across rivers where bridges had been washed away. We were obliged to lay over in Roswell, New Mexico, and Plainview, Texas, on account of the rain. At South Canadian, Okla, where a bridge had disappear, led, we loaded the car on a wagon and had it hauled lacross the river by four mules. Near Brawley, Cal. ?is the big sand stretch known as the M arnot h Wash. This is a bad spot for automobiles and most cars! require assistance to get through-in fact, one indi vidual makes a business and an excellent revenue hauling cars across this seretch.
