Prairie Roads.

In some sections of the country
stone and gravel cannot be obtained
for road-building purposes. Under
such circumstances it is necessary to
resort to grading and tile drainage if
there is season of heavy rainfall, so
that ample outlet may be provided for
the surplus water. This is all that
can be done in some prairie districts.
In such localities the grade Of the
roadbed must be raised above the sur.
rounding level, properly crowned, and
with due regard to the contour OF the
adjoining ground. Road-grading ma
chimes are of great value in accom-
plishing the work.

Another Sample Road.

The first sample road built under
the direction of the Good Roads Bu-
reau of the Agriculture Department
was lately laid at New Brunswick, N.
J. A second one, begun OF Geneva,
N. Y, will be nearly mile and q half
long, macadamized in the centre, with
rolled dirt roads on either side. The
foundation will be five inches of
broken field stone, which is covered
with fine rock siftings, and made a
firm, compact foundation by means OF
q twenty ton roller. On this is laid
three inches of broken tap rock, which
in turn is rolled SO smooth as to be
impervious to water. '"The whole
secret of good roads," says Mr.. Har-
rison, special agent of the depart
ment, ''is to make them water-tight
and keep the foundation dry. That is
the reason we use the heavy roller 80
much. In the absence of water frost
does not amount to anything" This
road will cost about $4,000, but the
Government supplies only s5OO.0O,
the balance being furnished by the
citizens.

MRS. LEASE AND THE DRUMMER.

Mrs. Mary Z. Lease last night boarded
the Santa Fe train here for Atchison,
where she had a lecture date. She found
the car crowded. the only vacant seat
being by the side of Chicago travelling
man. OF course the travelling man moved
his big grips and made room for her.
This brought from the "uncrowned queen
Of the Kansas prairies" a thank you
and a pleasant smile.
The ice thus broken, the travelling man
proceeded to make himself agreeable.
one word brought on another and the
travelling man soon had got far enough
along in the conversation TO ask Mrs.
Lease where she lived.
AT Wichita she replied.
"Ah, Wichita" said the travelling man.
Il suppose you know the famous Mary
Ellen"
~ know her quite well"
shes a great old girl; I'd like to meet
her"
There was a merry twinkle in Mrs.
Leases eyes. She saw some fun ahead.
The travelling man continued: Il learn
ed a good deal about Mrs. Lease through
a Topeka friend of mine who was her
attorney-Hagan. Eugene Hagan-that's
my friends name-defended her the time
Lewelling tried to remove her from the
board of charities. Hagan said she was a
great fighter. but Notwithstanding hsr
reputation as a crank was a very easy
client to get along with. Hagan said she
paid his fee of $500 without question and
he thought she would have paid $1,000
just as willingly. She is the first woman
l ever heard OF who wouldn't quarrel about
a bill that is. if she had to pay it herself"
Mrs. Lease beamed upon the travelling
man. and said she had heard the subject
of the chat was that kind of a woman.
What sort of family has she?" asked
the travelling man.
she has a number of very bright chill
dr5n. Mrs Lease replied, two boys and

Galveston, Texas, September CIV. ID.
Mahon. president of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION of Street Railway Employees. who
is in attendance upon the Labor Day tes-
tivities in this city, talked Interestingly
with Post man today upon matters relat-
ing to the striking coal miners. Mr.. Ma
hon was president OF the recent st. Louis
labor conference.
An Associated Press telegram received
Saturday suggesting settlement Of the
strike was tho basis OF the interview. Ii
was the result of conference held at Co
lumbus, Ohio. on September and be-
tween the presidents OF the United Mine
Workers OF America and representative
committee OF the pittsburg district oper-
ators, at which two propositions were sub
mitted. The first was the resumption OF
work at 6i-cent rate OF mining, the sub
hitting of the question TO board of ar
bitration to determine what the price shall
be. the maximum to be 90 cents and the
minimum 80 cents, the price TO be effective
from date of resuming work.
The second proposition was that q
straight price OF 6S cents a ton continue
In FORCE until the cnd OF the year, WIN Inc
understanding that joint meeting of OPP
orators and miners be held in December
for the purpose Of determining what the
rate of mining shall be thereafter.
The executive and district presidents
recommended the latter proposition, but
the miners will decide whether it is best
to reject or accept the proposition.
"All conditions considered" said Mr.. Ma
hon, Il think it best that the miners ac-
cept the second proposition. My opinion
however is that they will not do It, Ohio
Indiana and Illinois are not considered w
the proposition; 1t covers only the Pitts
burg district, and as the Ohio. Indiana and
! Illinois miners control a majority OF the
vote it will never carry Even some Of the
men in the Pittsburg district will. | am
sure, oppose It's adoption. 1t is within the
province of the executive board to recon-
meud, but the question will have to be-
brought Before the miners and 1t will fat
CT adoption by large number OF votes
Illinois has more union men among the
miners than even the Pttsburg districts
and they will never consent to a settle.
nient on such a basis.
What dc think OF the situation" The
mire-s' position Is stronger than It wa.
when the strike was inaugurated. It I.
true that they are suffering untold hard
ships, but. as some of them put IT. the,
were starving when they worked, and theil
condition is not charged now. oeliev,
the strike will continue. ! see no pros
