ROAD INSTRUCTION.


Suggestions For IL Course on High
way building.
Professor W. r. HOag, University of
Minnesota, recently offered the follow
ing suggestions for course in schools
on highway construction:
To begin, the students should be
brought into sympathy with the subject
by developing an interest in it, and to
that end few lectures on the historical
development of highway construction
are useful. These can be followed by an
equal number on transportation in gen
eral, with special reference to the part
played by the common road. The sub
ject is thus shown to be a broad one,
farreaching in its scope and not merely
a relatively narrow one of grading
draining and stone laying.
All the forces at work for the better
ment of the highways should then be
considered beginning with the national
office of road inquiry, national road as.
sOCiatiOn, state associations, state insti-
tutes, engineering societies, cycle clubs,
other organizations dealing with the
subject, and the attitude of the press
toward the movement. The state laws
should be gone over and carefully studied
where efficient and successful systems
are established.
Visits to permanently good and habit
ually poor roads should be made and
the causes that have led to the different
results should be discussed and identi-
fed. Road conventions and other meet
ings at which papers on road building
and maintenance are read and discussed
should be attended. Some good work on
the subject should be used as general
guide, and this should be supplemented
by studies on special topics, essays and
discussions, drawing upon all possible
sources of information and constantly
observing roads and streets i'll process of
construction and under traffic

Covery from the panic has been more

respondent Of the Boston Transcript.
Whatever may be the terms Of the com
petition Of the coast cities, and includ-
ing Portland and Astoria. Seattle has
plainly carried off the palm Of the Klon-
dixie trade. Nobody seems able to give
any good reason for it, except that the
Seattle people We're a little "smarter"

Eastern people can with difficulty
realize the enormous volume Of business
which the Klondille has turned into
Seattle 1t was the place where the
crowds going i'll either direction stopped
to think and to spend money. When the
excitement broke out, thousands of adj
venturers from eastern cities boarded
its trains for Seattle with only the
vaguest notion of what came next, how
they We're to proceed and what they
needed. Trains for many months We're
so overcrowded that commercial travel
ers tried to cover their district on an
east bound trip and to get west ly some

Almost like children, these people Were

Few persons realize the great benefit
a city derives from a big convention
Its principal benefit comes Of course
from the advertising, which is done
principally by the railways. When a
convention of some organization which
is national i'll its scope is announced to
take place i'll IA certain city at "a specified
date, the railroads for several weeks
previous to that time insert large ad-
vertisements announcing special rates
and putting the name of the city i'll at
tractive type. Thus nearly every i'm
portant newspaper i'll the country is
daily printing the name of the city, and
i'll addition the railroads print pam
phlets giving descriptions of the city and
naming its advantages and attractions

Additional roads of shale are being
laid in IA practical way III Orange couu-
ty, n. Y. Mr.. a. E. Goddefroy, who is
rOadmaster for the town Of Deerpark
has used considerable of the material
this season on properly prepared road
beds. About nine inches of the coarser
rock is first put on, thoroughly wet
down and rolled with a four ton roller
until it is reduced to about six inches,
and then a top dressing of finer material
is put on and rolled. The result is a
surface that is smoother than any mac
adam and most delightful to ride upon.
These stretches Of good roads must III

roads, built i'll a scientific way and prop
erly maintained, are a benefit to them.

The Progressive Town Doesn't Sit

While the residents of many towns
are going to sIeeD and LETTING things
run themselves others are up and doing
and losing no opportunity to make the
most of every chance that presents
itself. Not only that they are reaching
out after chances and are reasonably
certain to catch more than one good

ROADSIDE AOORNMENT.
Much Attention Paid to This Matter
In France.


In France road is not considered
completed, even though it be Of the
most perfect construction, until proper
attention has been given to the trees and
shrubs which grow along the side.
There are two reasons for this-to please
the eye and to lessen the cost of repairs.
Hedges and rows of trees are planted
Systematically along the roadsides.
They are pleasing to the eye, afford
shade for man and beast and protect the
roadbed "from the softening and melt
ing of the materials of which the roads
are constructed i'll the summer and the
deteriUrations produced by the cold in
winter. In fact, they do the service of
parasOl in summer aud of an umbrella
in winter, for the water that is not alb
sOrbed and blown over by the leaves is
utilized by the roots" The hedgerows
retain in position the loose ground on
the sides away from the road and form
a sort of wall for one side of the cutters,
which are usually dug near their roots.
Trees, however, require considerable
care at first, and it is continued, though
gradually lessened, until they are ten
years old. For three or four years after
planting the ground around them is dug
up and turned so that air and moisture
can penetrate to the roots i'll both spring
and fall, and then for three or four
years more it is done only i'll the spring.
Young trees are also frequently sprin-
killed..
Each year, about the end of February,
the trees and hedges are cleaned of the
nests of harmful animals and vermin
and dead parts, which are burned up.
In May and August the young branches
which rise much above the general sum
nit of the trees are trimmed off, and in
the fall there is "a general pruning,
while from time to time, about once in
three years, a general cutting takes place
so as to give vigor and abundant sap to
new growtbs. HorticulturIsts are en-
ployed Ey the government to do the

Roads Augment Wealth.

1t is difficult to iustill into the mind
of the average rural inhabitant that ev-
cry judicious improvement i'll the estab
lishment of roads and bridges increases
the value of land, enhances the price of
commodities and augments the public
wealth. 1t is needless to say that the
task of improving the existing roads Of

U. S. SUPREME COURT.
No Rebates on Alcohol Under Wilson Bill
Adverse to Oklahoma Sooners Right
of State to Regulate Stopping
of Trains,

Washington, Feb. 20-In the supreme
court today, the case of Dunlap VS.
United States was disposed of, the deci
sion being in the interest of the United
States The case involved the validity
of the clause in the Wilson tariff act
providing for rebate tax on alcohol used
in the arts and manufacturers. The
opinion rendered by Chief Justice
Fuller was against the payment of
rebates.
Justice White, today, handed down Il
opinion in the case of C. L. Calhoun VS..
Oscar Violet involving the right of
"Sooners' in settlement of Oklahoma
territory. Calhoun claimed special pri-
vileges. because he was an ex-union
soldier. The court decided against
him.
A decision was also handed down by
Justice Harlan, constituting the consti-
tutionality of the state law in Ohio reg
ulating the stoppage of through trains.
The law requires that any railroad
company in the state shall have at
least three trains a day, if so many be
run, stop at any station containing not
less than 5000 population. Action was
begun against the Lake Shore company
because of it's refusal to have three
trains stop at West Cleveland. The
court held the question involved was
only that of subscribing public convent
ence, and the state had right to legis-
late to that end. The Judgment of the
Supreme court of Ohio was affirmed.
Justices Brewer, Shras, White and
peckham dissented.

A Pleasant. Simple, But Safe and Effectual
Obre fnr r.

Catarrh OF the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or Watery risings.
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure Of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate mu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. To secure
prompt and healthy digestion is the
one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
meal a tablet, composed of Diatase
Aceptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough d-
gestion will follow their regular use
after meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher of 271O Dearborn St,
Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is To-
cal condition resulting from neglected
cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane Of the nose becomes inf1amed
and the poisonous discharges therefrom
passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach with
out cure but today am the happiest Of
men after using only one box Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap-
propriate words to express my good
feeling. 7 have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as we'll as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any

BEEF COURT OF INQUIRY
Finishes the Usual Orthodox Preliminaries
and Then Settles Down to Business
with General Miles as the
First Witness,

Washington, Feb. 20-The court oil
inquiry to examine into the beef con.
troversy, assembled this morning. The
paid their respects to the president.
then called upon Secretary Alger, and
then upon General Miles.
General Miles was sworn as the first
witness. He was asked about the al
legged interviews in New York news
papers. He said they were not al
together correct. Miles said his use of
the phrase "Pretense of experiment in
speaking of army beef was unfortunate.
He disclaimed intending any inference
of fraud and said he should have said
that the refrigerated beef issue was ION
the theory of experiment. and "a very
costly one.
Colonel Davis asked General Miles
what his idea was as to beef supply
for the army:when the war broke out.
General Miles said he felt confident the
usage of 100 years would be followed
and herds of cattle be shipped to the
army in the tropics and killed there,
just as they were during the civil war
in the south, and in Arizona, Texas and
Mexico. where it was so hot that soldiers
could not sit upon the rocks. Witness
said he understood the troops in Porto
Rico were still being supplied with
refrigerator beef, although the country
was as good grass country as any in the
world and cattle were plenty. Now
however, there were ice machines on
shore. During the war there was not
ice enough for the hospitals.
General Miles said native beef killed
at night, could be very well fed the men
next day. When asked If native beef
would keep as well as refrigerated beef
in the OF absence cooling apparatus. he
said: Il am quite sure it would unless
refrigerated beef was chemical treated
with preservatives.
