TO USE OIL ON THE ROAD.
The Commissioners of Montgomery
County win Be Asked to Experiment.

Independence, Kas., Aug. 13.-The
board of county commissioners of
Montgomery county will be asked at
their next meeting here to try the ex-
pertinent of oiling the roads of the
county. The Standard Oil company is
not purchasing the heavy oil which is
produced by many of the oil wells in
this county. The oil is worth about
so cents a barrel and those who are
interested in improving the condition
of the roads in the county will ask
the commissioners to use this oil.
Wherever oil has been used on roads
it has been found to be one of the
best materials for improving the con-
dition of the highways. 1t not only
keeps the clouds of dust down, but
tends to prevent the damage done by
the heavy rains.

LAYING HEAVY STEEL.
Santa Fe Railroad Improving the
Western Division.

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 1s.-The
Santa Fe has almost finished the task
of laying over 125 miles of S5-pound
steel on the western division. The old
steel is being shipped to Newton to
run through the railsaw, and it is I'M
derStood that it is to be used to re-
place the light steel on the Panhandle
division. The fact that so much money
is being spent for track improvements
west of Newton leads many to believe
that the cutoff from Belen, N. M,
to a point on the Pecos Valley line to
shorten the distance to California will
not materially affect the business now
being handled this way.

The German fob Is "foppe." and It is
believed that il came from Europe
through the Puritan, whose dislike for

gaze This conjecture is strengthened
by the fact that n short fob" chain at
