pairs on Them.
COnsUl Halstead of Birmingham,
England, reports TO the department OF
commerce and labor results of unintel-
ligent, unsclentiiic road repairing. He
quotes some excellent advice about how
not to make or repair a road. He
writes:
"When in London recently l noticed
that the great road along the Thames,
one of the most important thorough
fares in London, known as the Thames
| embankment, was very rough. and in
a recent article in the London Mail. en-
titled How Not to Make n Road some
observant person tells of the methods
used when the embankment was last
torn up and remetaled and rcironed,
which confirms in many respects the
dispatch l recently had published in
| Daily Consular and Trade Reports,
| Sept. 0, entitled Dust and Motor Cars
| This writer had thought that sound
| knowledge would surely be displayed
| in repairing such a thoroughfare as the
Thames embankment After the scarf
| fer had been at work and the road torn
| up, loads of blue metal he said. were
dumped down, but this stone was of Il
very uneven nature, both as to size and
shape, many of the pieces being long
and narrow, while others were small
and approximately cubical, and there
was additionally large proportion Of
irregulariy shaped stones. The loads
were roughly spread across the road
way, ami in many cases the wheel ruts
of the carts We're not even raked out"
Continuing his description Of what was
done as roalmaking for tie great thor
oughfare, lie says:
"Oyer this chaotic heap was strewn

manned as mud on the surface. Then

the roadway looked quite smooth aud

have passed by and said. That Is a

North Dakota, especially that portion
lying west of the Red river valley. has
soil that is especially adapted by ma
ture for good roads, says DIR. Dwight
s. Moore of Jamestown. \. d., In Auto
Advocate and Country Roads. As a
general thing, very little attention Is
paid to the subject of good roads In
North Dakota.
Only exceptionally In wet season
Is there much necessity for the problem
to be considered seriously from the
standpoint OF traffic and local transpor-
tation. The subjects of the advantage

to facilitate the hauling of heavy loads
and of long even pull over compare
lively level ground, in preference to
short steep ascents in a straight direc-
tion toward the goal. are very little con
sidered or thought Of apparently by the
farmers, the very class Of people who
should be most deeply Interested In
such questions.
Even on these praires slight I'M
petus was given to the good road move
ment by the adoption Of the bicycle.
The use OF the bicycle has somewhat
died out as recreation among people
of wealth, culture and education, and
as a consequence the use of it has ceas-
ed to be so much OF a factor In the ere

The automobile has been more than a
substitute as an incentive to interest In
the subject of good roads everywhere

Maintenance of Gravel Roads.

In order to maintain a gravel road in

OF gravel alongside at frequent inter-
walls. so that the persons who repair
the road can get the material without
going too far for it. As soon as ruts or
holes appear OH the surface some OF
this good fresh material should be add

dated.

Wa am glad TO write my endorse
ment of the great remedy. peruna,
as nerve tonic. do so most
heartily. "--JuIia MariOwe.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
ccnters become bloodlcss for want Of
proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host OF invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes al the root of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs Of life with
vitality which leads to strong. steady
nerves, and thus nourjshes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have vocs-
tions that are trying to the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigOx
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands of testimonials from
women in all parts Of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without On equal as nerve
tonic and q vital inyigorator.

RANCE IN BAD CONDITION

sheep and cattlemen are certainly hav-
ing hard time Of IL trying to find grass
sufficient to keep their stock alive until
the snow falls when feeding time will
begin, Heretofore the dry falls have
been partly set of by an abundance Of
dry feed left over from the spring season
but this year is different, as there lie
hardly spire OF grass on the outside
range, and the hope for rain mas almost
vanished, for il is now so late in the
season that rain would practically do
more harm than good. We understand
that T. ii. McGreer and others, who
rangs their sheep on the John Day river
have already commenced feeding their
sheep, rs that portion of the country is
shorter on grass than the Shaniko Sec
ton.

The valley is now iust about cleaned up,
everything having been sold. The cat
tie sales here this year have been heav-
ier than for several years past. The
price received is not of course what the
growers think they are entitled to.
There has been q heavy demand for two
year.old steers and one offer $25 so was
refused rs it seems to lie the opinion of
some of the growers that there will be
steady rise in the price OF cattle and
by next year the grower will begin to
realize something neag what the stock is
worth.
