SPLIT LOG ROAD DRAG.
Costs Little and Makes Good Roads
for Ten Dollars Per Mile.

Nashville american.
Claude Fl. Miller has al interesting
article i'll the June number of Farm
ing. showing how good roads can be
constructed at cost Of 80 per mile.
This is done by means of the split log
rnal drag. which costs very little to
build and but little more to operate.
BY its Use the "coru belt' roads are
bein" changed from mud holes to
model turupikes. Mr.. Miller says in
his article that ten years ago Mis-
souri, farmer who had studied the sub
ject Of good roads hit upon plan for
improving the thoroughfares in his
neishborhood. He rugged up a home
made eoutrivance out of an old wood
en- pump stock that the frost had
spoiled and an oak post. BY means
of three pieces Of fence board he nail
ed these together so that they were
held parallel to each other. Then he
made rough plank platform on
which to stand, and by means Of wire

at such point that it would drag
along over the road with q slant Of
about As degrees.
He began with the road that ran in
front Of his own farm. When it was
at its worst he drove up and down,
from his own front gate to that Of
his nearest neighbor. Like huge
mason's trowel smoothing off mortar,
it seraped along cutting down the
inequalities and rough pieces and
filling up the wagon ruts. He kept
at it, and after a number of drag
gingsy in place Of the flat basin that
had served as q water course for every
storm to settle in, he had built up a
road with crown and surface that
was smooth enough to shed water

of his lsalor premise. HIf. I can gpi

 Later-We have just received a letter from o. D. Flake stating that about ? a. m. on the morn ing of the 26th two Mexicans went to Bazan's and asked to get in the store, he informed them he did not do business at night, they said they were hungry and he gave them the key and told them to get what they wanted, and then went to sleep. It was perhaps half an hour afterward his wife awoke him saying man was trying to pull her out of bed. He raised his gun but dare not shoot as his daughter raised up between them. 'Bazan got up ordered the man to surrender and he would give him trial in court and not shoot but he kept moving off so Bazan fired four and heard nothing more of the man until daylight when anoth- CT Mexican found the body of Montana about 70 yards from Bazan's bed and a trail of blood after the first twenty or thirty feet. Bazan went to Snowflake and gave himself up and the cor oner's jury exonorated him.
 Montana had been working for Bazan for a year but the busi ness was not paying well and he was discharged on the 14th of July, apparently, they were the best of friends and Mir. Bazan re- grets the affair very much.

feature too much neglected by Ameri-
cans. The Columbia has a history as
interesting as that Of the Rhine.
Would Keep a Few Indians.
Preservation Of the Indians was
strongly advocated as part of the his

Better Things Than Niagara.
The Dissertation of Niagara, ruined

said he would rather see Crater lake
than Niagara Falls. He would rather
see the big trees IN California; the
gigantic peaks; the awful canyons,
PLAYING places Of the gods.
A fine picture of the canyons was
drawn and an idea put forth as to
their origin.
The Yosemite has been worth more
to California than the gold mines, said
the doctor. Exploit the islands of the

was an idea forcefully presented.
There are rivers running beneath all
