my opinion. I am satisfied that iron
Ioadways are the thing for this prairie
country. On the praries ballast of any
kind must in most cases be hauled long
distances. making the cost of the iron
roadway, even with double track. the
cheapest. Amy kind Of ballast needs an
amount of repair equaling the cost of
newroad almost once in from six to ten
years The iron roadway would prob
ably last two OR three times as long, the
repairs being almost nothing.
There need be no flanee or elevation
on the inner side OF the rail- Make then,
perfectly fat: the wagons will not run
off. In common country roads the
wheels do not make ruts more than
twice the with of the tire, no matter
whether the ground is hard or soft.
Teams travelling Oh ice for miles leave a
regular wheel trail not wider than the
rut on the country road. 1 would make
