The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1902-12-01


while the ideal conditions for road
construction are very simple, they
have heretofore seemed impossible to
fully combine in any one system of
road or street work. However, it is
gratifying to note that all of the i'm
portant features seem to have been
in the brick wheel track road.
"a special feature of this road is
that the bricks which form these
tracks are so placed as to bring the
upper edge of each brick into con-
tact with a straight edge resting upon
as great load can be hauled as on
a steel rail-in fact, it presents nearly
every advantage of the steel rail with
out it's liability to rust from moisture
or warp from heat.
Horses Between Tracks.
"While the wheel tracks themselves
are somewhat slippery in icy weather,
as is the case with brick paved and
asphalted streets, the tracks are so
narrow that the horses will usually
walk between them, where good foot
ing may be found. In this respect
most excellent combination for city
streets is secured by placing these
tracks in old cobble stone and ma
cadam streets, making in many re-
spects an ideal and almost noiseless
street at trifiing cost, and doing away
with the extreme cruel condition OF our
slippery brick and asphalt streets in
icy weather for the helpless horses.
IF long term convicts are employed
to make brick and other road mater
ials, and short term convicts are en-
ployed to make the roads, as is COM
mended by the United States Office of
Public Road inquiries, the cost of con-
structing brick track ways for our
country roads should not exceed $500
or $1,000 mile, and in many cases
could be made to average less than
$500 a mile, exclusive of any necessary
grading and hauling of material. Fur
thermore, if we'll made they should
last for many years.
I'm a recent article in the Review
of Reviews the length of the highways
of the United States, outside of incor-
porated cities and villages, is esti-
mated at three million miles.
Z AT cost of construction of say $500
a mile, brick track roads for the en-
tire country would cost less than four
times the $650,00O,000 loss which 1t is
estimated we are now sustaining each
year on account Of our bad roads.
"In other words, we are now pay
ing for the pleasure OF using our
present deplorable roads an annual
mud tax which in less than four years
would build the finest and best roads
in the world throughout the entire
country, and which would effect saw
ing thereafter over our present con-
ditions of nearly 81 each year for
every man, woman and child in this
country, to say nothing of the
pleasure, the satisfaction and the
moral benefits of driving over good
hard roads every day of the year in
stead of through series of mud holes
or a cloud of dust.
"The proper manner of constructing
the brick track road will vary some

be placed lengthwise under each wheel
track, with suitable outlets, and where
the subsoil is very wet and the frost
penetrates deeply stone or other bal
last should be placed below the bricks,
with the drain tile beneath the stone
ballast.
GAS nearly every form of road is
seriously damaged by the grinding ac-
ton of the wagon wheels, it is at first
difficult to realize that this will not
be the case with the brick track road,
but when we remember that the sur
face of the brick track is nearly as
even and uniform as the top of steel
rail- and as it effectually obviates the
washing of hillside roads, it is difficult
to conceive how any appreciate wear
can possibly take place even in years
of ordinary use, if properly con-
structed.
Good Bicycle And Footpaths.
ut is obvious that by overcoming
the wear and grind of the vehicle
wheels the dust and mud question is
largely obviated, while at the same
time satisfactory bicycle and footpaths
are provided.
while for country roads noise is
not particularly Objectionable, for city
street work it would largely do away
with the noise and din of our rough
streets and prove great boon, es-
pecially when the early sleep and rest
is habitually broken up by the noisy
milk wagon passing over the stony
streets.
Our smaller towns and cities have
many macadam streets that are grad
ually being replaced with brick or
asphalt pavements. By placing
brick track in these macadam streets
superior advantages are secured at
small part of the cost of new brick or
asphalt pavements. The wagon
wheels, being mostly carried by the
brick tracks, will do but little grinding
and forming of dust and mud of the
streets washed clean thus effectually
doing away with the mud and much
of the dust.
'In residence streets heavy sod
can also grow directly up to to the
wheel tracks, thus making the finest
streets possible for residence purposes.
1.-THE continued advance in the area
reached by the benefits of rural free
mail delivery under aid from the ma
tional treasury indicates it's deserved
popularity In the rural sections. A
steady increase seems probable in the
area thus benefited until all of the
more denseIy populated parts of this
country are covered.
Bad Roads An Obstacle.
ITO the rapid and economical ex-
tension Of rural mail delivery only one
obstacle worthy of consideration pre-
sents itself, but that obstacle is of
such a nature as to greatly affect it's
practicability and economy. This is
the present condition of our country
roads.
Without question one of the first
great movements toward the economi-
cal free rural delivery of the mails
should be the construction of passable

each section can be fitted with an adjust

panies each car, his business being TO
make up berths; keep the car clean, and
look after the wants and comforts of the

THE PORTAGE ROAD.

Portland at last seems to be
taking an interest in the por'
tage road at Cello and the
indications are favorableto its early
completion. Walla Walla and
Lewiston capitalists are interested
in the project and their plan, is to
take over the interests Of Paul Mohr
in the present property and give
him stock in the new company to
the value Of his present holdings.
II is claimed that the road can cas-.
lily be put in ope ration within four
months and that freight rates will
be reduced from rs to 80 per cent.
If carried out this project will mean
much for Eastern Oregon and it
will no doubt be the means of hur-
rying rail communication between
Condor and the Columbia river.

George Chamberlain, the demo-
cratic nomi nee for governor opened
his campaign in Baker City the 9TH
er night, and among other things,
he said: "Ifmy opponents can place
their finger on any disbonorable or
corrupt official act Of mine with
any shade or coloring Of truth. |
will retire from this canvass and re-
sign the nomination" That is .
pretty broad challenge for a mod
ern politician to make unless he
knows his position to be absolutely
unassailable and if Chamberlain is
not "called" it will tend to materi-
ally strengthen his position with
the people. The people are getting
weary of political grafters and the
man who can boldly make such an
assertion and not be proven a bluffel
by his opponents will prove a hard
man to beat even if his party is III
the minority.

LON ELL Us. FURNISH.

Hon. Stephen A. Lowell is being
roasted for his recent letter pledg-
ing his support to Chamberlain the
democratic nominee for governor.
Judge Lowell is a life long republi-
can and was a prominent aspirant
for the nomination which Mr.. Fur
nish landed, and this fact is taken
as text by many partisan writer's
and spouters who are busy just now
villifying Lowell as silly sore
head and traitor to bis party. If
Mr.. Lowell's only reason for refus-
ing to support Mr. Furnish is the
fact that Furnish secured the nom
ination that Lowell wanted bis po-
sition is certainly discreditable, to
say the least, but if his reasons are
as he states in his letter, that Fur
nish secured the nomination and
hopes to secure an election through
corrupt influences and by corrupt
methods he is to be commended
as a true patriot and an honorable
citizen. His action may not be
good politics from the stand point
of future personal preferment in
his party but we take Judge Lowell
to be a man who will throw politi-
cal advancement to the winds where
it conflicts with what he believes to
be right. The number of men who
place principle above party is in
creasing wonderfully fast in these
days and in them lies the only hope
Of the perpetuation Of republican
institutions.
