low the line were used. Stone as near Is
inches as could be found were placed for
the sides. All stones easily broken
we're thrown on top. About l cent per
lineal foot was spent breaking and
pounding the stone on the face Of the
road with a sledge.
The roadsides and nearby swamps fur
nished a covering of grass and weeds for
the stones, over which the ak inches Of
dirt was placed, and the road was ready
for travel. The testing time had come.
Its opponents sat down to watch for it
to go to pieces. It's friends stood guard
to remedy any defects that might appear,
The water washed holes here and there
through the stones, but a shovelful of
dirt was usually enough to fill them.
Probably one day, with man and shovel,
was spent the first fall and about the
same the next spring in filling these
holes. Fewer holes appear each season.
They are almost all outside of the trav-
eled path.
After three winters and two summers
the road is where 1t was put two and
one half years ago. II dozen stones
have come up and had to be removed, l
have not seen them. If any have gone
down they have left no openings. The
road is always as good and much Of the
time better than the ordinary dirt road.
The spring breaking and mud is thing
of the past. 1t will be seen that this
road will cost $2,376 per mile. AS Il
feet in width is all that ia needed fol
country roads, the cost, conditions being
the same, would be only 81 726 per mile
AS q foundation for crushed stone there
could hardly be better.
| believe that aid could be had for this
class of work. No roller was used in thu
construction of che road. 1t is self-drain
ing. It will cost no more to keep it il
repair than the ordinary country road
probably not go much, If it gets attention
when it needs it.
AS the road is now in the condition
that the winter frosts and spring rain
have left it, not shovelful of dirt ha

There have been lively times in Samoa

have been landed in Apia to PRO-
tect property. Numerous casualties
have resulted on both sides. Admiral
Kautz and the commanders of the British
ships are anxiously awaiting sdvices
from their Governments, and in the mean
time the Smelling goes on daily. The
operations against the native rebels and
TO the friendly attitude of the German
consul toward the rebels may be charged
the blame for all the trouble. III Johnny
