Suggestions Submitted by well-Known
Canadian Engineer.
Country roads IRE commonly di-
vlded into two classes gravel and dirt,
writes A. w. Campbell. C. E. high
way commissioner for Ontario, in
Farmers Advocate. The terms 'good''
and bad" are frequently regarded as
synonymous with these, and as our
roads are usually constructed, this in
terchange of words is to some extent
not without reason. The way to con-
struct good gravel road is to first
build e good dirt road from the nat
ural soil.
A good dirt road to those who have
driven through sloughs designated
"bad'roads during the past spring,
will seem an impossibility. And yet
these bad roads are chosen in June by
the teamster in preference to the
"good" gravel roads. These latter are
now collection of parallel ruts, with
rocks firmly set, protruding or rolling
loose under the wheels and the feet of
the horses.
The diseases being so perfectly
known, it is poor recommendation for
our inventive powers if we cannot pro-
duce the remedies. For dirt roads,
take the water out and keep it out;
for gravel roads, this and more. There
will be less moisture remaining in the
roads after the rains fail to assist the
disintegrating and upheaving action of
the frost. There will be less water to
be carried away in the spring, and more
ample means to do it quickly. A dry
foundation for a road is as necessary
as for any other structure. Were the
benefits of drainage better known, our
system of roads would soon be vastly
improved.
Drainage must be secured at the sur
face of the road and beneath it.
Underdrainage-there may be few ex-
ceptions-wiil accomplish more than
surface drainage. Where and how to
place the drains is a matter regard
ing which no definite code of laws can
be formulated, since each mile or less
of roadway may lead to an entirely
new combination of circumstances.
Surface drainage is attained by round
ing up the road bed ordinarily with a
rise of not less than one nor more than
one and one-half inches to the foot, pro-
viding open bitches on each side of the
grade. Crown the roadway on hills
slightly more, Sc as to draw the water
sharply to the bitches. Water al
lowed to follow the track of the wheels
will wear them to ruts, and deposit a
softened mass Of mud at the foot of the
nil. ....a -- -
The drains running parallel to the
road about three feet below the surface
and at the edge ST the grade will -usual-
ly afford the best method of under
draining. Take advantage of all nat
ural water courses to relieve the bitches
of their water. Use hard, well-burned
tile laid carefully to z uniform grade.
with fall of not less than three feet
to the mile, and if it can be obtained at
reasonable cost, not less than six feet.
Provide culverts where needed, and
do not allow the roadway to interfere
with natural drainage. Do not build
culverts higher than the approaching
roadway. as muddy hollows in each

TODAY'S CABINET MEETING
1t Was Shorter Than Usual and Mr.. Morton
Was the Only Absentee.
No Evidence of Friction Between the
Rumors of a Cuban Comm issfon.

The cabinet meeting today was much
shorter than usual, adjournment being had
about 1 o'clock. Secretary Morton, who is
studying forestry at "Biltmore," Wander
hilt's place, North Carolina, was the only
absentee. Secretary Olney, who has been
in Boston on private business since Sauur-
day, returned here this morning in ample
time to take part in. the deliberations of
the cabinet.
His absence from the department yester-
day was treated mysterious secret by
undue significance by the newspaper men
who We're unable to learn the Secretary S
whereabouts.
To some it was an indication that the re-
lations between the President and the Sec
ietary of State were severely strained, as a
result of the Presidents reputation of the
deliveranCe" Of the administration Cuban
policy, generally credited to the Secretary
of State. Secretary Olney's friends say he
is in nowise responsible for the deliver
arce" in question, but the Secretary ilim-
self Is completely silent on the subject, and
viii neither admit nor deny the soft i'm
parchment"
If there is any difference of opinion be-
tween the chief executive and the premier
OF his cabinet this subject there are no
outward indications of il. All seems quiet
and serene at the White House and at the
state Department, ard if any friction eN-
lists ii is successfully concealed from the
gaze or knowledge of the public
1t IS rulnored that the President has sent
a special commission to Cuba to investigate
the situation for the benefit and guidance
of the executive, but the report cannot be
verified and is dlscredited in official circles.

The Daily News QiberaH thinks that MI
Goschens statement to the effect that the
naval program had been agreed upon last
November and not menace TO the
United States thus showing that the esti-
mates were framed for defense and not
for defiance, largely influenced the house.
The Times. commenting upon Mr.. Gosch-
ems statement, is inclined to think that
recent events ought to have modified the
estimates.
Nobody has a right to complain" says
the Times, IF the nation takes measures
for her own security when manifest dam
gers spring up around her.
When the naval estimates came up last
night John Dillon and William Redmond
contended that the rayal proposals We're
intended as menace to the United States,
and for that reason every Irishman would
oppose them.
Mr.. Goschen first lord of the admirably
declared that the suggestion was absurd
Mr.. Goschen added that the naval mo-
gram was settled in November last

thereto would be taken.

THE SCHOMBURGK LINE
Important Contribution to the Controversy
by Minister Andrads.
The Venezuelan Side Stated at Length,
Accompanied by Historical
Papers and Maps.

Minister AndrlGe, the representative of
the, Venezuelan government, has submitted
to the Venezuelan boundary commission
the official history of the discussion be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain on the
question of the boundary line between the
former country ami British Guiana.
The Venezuelan side of the case makes a
good-sized volume of about 40 pages. 1t
purports to contain all the treaties, con-
ventions and official letters and other COM
munications that bear in any way upon the
subject.
The introduction includes a copy of the
original articles by which Holland ceded to
Great Britain the colonies of Demarara,
EsseGuibo and Berbice, and the conven-
tion between Great Britain and the United
Provinces of the Netherlands relating to
their colonies, signed August Is, 1914. There
is also copy of a communication from a
parliamentary paper, dated May II. 1910,
giving the real objects of Schomburgk' 5
work in NereZueia. The official correspond
ence begins with some paragraphs from the
instructions given by the secretary of for
eisn affairs of ancient Colombia to her
minister in London, dated 1892.
Accompanying the volume is a handsome
map of the territory in dispute. showing
the advance of English claims on Venez-
uelan possessions. In one corner of the
map Is brief resume of the history of the
English claims. as follows:
In the year 1914 England acquired about

The models of the battle ship Oregon and
the armored cruiser New York have dis

the corridor of the Navy Department near
the Secretary's office. They have been

Navy Department between $1,000 and
$1,000. They are about seven feet in length
and give an excellent idea of the vessels

to carefully drawn scale, and to an ex-
