Since Senator La Toilette has
spoken on the rate bill it will behoove
President Roosevelt to treat him as
a senator of the United States should
be treated. Any further discrimination
against him will be resented by the
great mass of the people of all parties
whose hearts have been won by the
junior senator from Wisconsin. The
senator's great speech obliterated
party lines.

The revelations following the de-
struction Of Chinatown in San Fran
cisco were of startling character.
Report is made of an underground
city of many passage ways and
chambers reaching to a depth of 100
feet below the surface and extend
ing through vast area far greater
than was suspected by the officials
of the city. 1t is known that many
prisoners and victims within this
underground city persisted in the re-
cent confagration. Oriental civiliza-
ton is too much for Americans, and
it is to be hoped that if there are any
other Chinatowns containing such
denominations as existed in the one
just destroyed, that they will be
ferreted out, and purged by the Of
ficers of the law.

thrown toward the center of the road,
for this width and for sections of about
forty rods in length. No earth is re-
moved, however, and no excavation is
made to receive the stone.
After blowing the road grader is
started and the loose dirt thrown by
this means to the shoulders. The
crown is formed to q curve of about
one and one-fourth inch to the foot
from the center to the side bitches.
The roadway is then rolled thoroughly.
Crushed stone not exceeding a four
inch size Is spread to depth of four
inches and thoroughly rolled. The
stone is scattered from spreading wag-
ons and not dumped on the road to be
drawn out with rakes, and it will be
noted that for the first layer it is of
nearly the usual size.
Four inches of two and one-half inch
stone are then spread and brought to
even grade, and before this course Is
rolled a large quantity of screenings
and dust Is spread over and scraped
into the interstices of the stone by
means of the points of the square shov-
els. The road is then thoroughly sprin-
kled and rolled. Then more screenings
are added for the surface course.
This method requires from 1850 to
1000 cubic yards of broken stone per
mile, the amount depending upon the
soil on which the road is built Sandy
soil does not require as much stone as
soil of clay or muck. The stone
must all be shipped into Saginaw coun-
ty and costs $1.35 per cubic yard de-
livered at Saginaw, and the total cost
Of turnpiking, ditching, grading and
macadamiZing amounts to from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile. Most Of the draw
ing is done with traction engines.
When hard heads" are crushed for
stone road material Mr.. Kerns recon-
mends the use of 25 per cent clay
gravel as a filler instead of limestone
screenings. And he also says: 81 would
advise counties taking up road build
ing to secure a man to manage their
work who has practical and mechan-
ical ideas. | do not consider it neces-
sary that he should be a civil engineer,
but he should be good manager and
man who understands handling men
and work. Roads built on paper are
not very satisfactory to taxpayers SO
it Is essential that the proper man be
selected.
ITO sum it all up. | would say that
there are four principles involved. The
first Is drainage which must be thor
ough and ample; the second is scien-
tific grading in order that the roadway
may have a waterproof roof; the third
is horse sense in mechanical ideas
relative to roads, and the last is execu-
tive ability to handle the work expedi-
tiously, making the cost as light as
possible to the taxpayers and at the
same time finishing the road In way
to make the Improvement permanent"

WINS THE BIG MARATHON RACE
Canadian Splinter Distances All Com
petitors at Athens,

Athens, May 2.-The Marathon race,
| the big event Of the Olympic games,
i was wen by William Sherring Of Ham
llton, Ont. The Canadians time was
2:51:23a5. Svamberg of Sweden was
! second, finishing in 2:58:20. w. G..
Frank, representing the Irish-Ameri-
tan A. G. of New York was third. His
time was 3:00:46.
The days events raised America S
score to eleven firsts, against four for
Great Britain, three for Greece and
two for Sweden. Nothing remains but
the prize-giving.
Interest in the Marathon race over
Swallowed everything else. Every one
was in fever of Impotence until the
result was known. All shops were
closed and business was completely
suspended The whole population Of
Athens and its suburbs and of the vii
lagos in the vicinity, altogether some
10000 persons, filed and overflowed
the stadium and spread along the
Marathon road and the surrounding
hills, forming human barrier behind
the troops along tho entire length of
the course
Classified by nationality, the runners
consisted Of 26 Greeks, Britons, in
Guiding Canadians and Australians; 5
Americans. Germans, F'renchmen,
2 Italians, 8 Swiss, Belgian, 1 Dane
and 2 Egyptians.
The contestants started in three
ranks, one meter apart, at exactly 8
o'clock. The weather was splendid. A
mounted officer rode in front with
chronometer and acted as timekeep-
er. The race started at hot pace. At
the tenth kilometer Frank was lead
ing. AT the twentieth kilometer Blake
was leading, followed by Frank and
Sherring. Soon afterward Sherring
took the lead, followed by svamberg
and Frank. Sherring kept the lead
until the end.
The crescendo of cheers along the
road grew into roars as, at $50 p. m,
cavalry officer, followed by single
runner, was seen approaching. At the
gates of the stadium Sherring, smil-
ing and looking fresh and not at all
distressed, was joined by Crown
Prince Constantine, who ran along
side until he ended his long journey in
front Of King George and Queen Olga.
The king handed Sherring a bouquet,
whilst ladies showered flowers and
gifts upon him. There was great
cheering and enthusiasm, although the
Greeks evidently were disappointed.

Thorough and Ample Drainage the
First Requisite For Permanence.
The Stones Should BE Scattered
From Wagons and Not Dumped,
Michigan is operating a system of
road improvement which is termed
estate reward" as opposed to what Is
generally known as state aid" says
the Good Roads Magazine. It amounts
to a similar assistance from the state
to the locality, but with less super
vision by the state commissioner In the
inception and progress of the work of
building road. If the finished road
appears to conform to certain require
ments the laid" is Forthcoming in q
payment from the state treasury OF
certain proportion Of its cost.
Joseph W. Kerns is the road commits
sioner Of Saginaw county and is one
Of the most successful Of the road
builders of the state. In answer to
questions regarding the methods he
employs In making macadam roads on
the naturally sandy soil Of his locality
he gives these following points, which
will be suggestive to road builders ev-
erywhere operating under similar con-
ditions:
The first point to be considered in
Saginaw county, as in every other
place, is the question of drainage. Good
and efficient drainage is the first requi-
site for permanence in macadam con-
struction. If there is any place where
It need not be quite as thoroughly es-
tablished as another it is on sandy soil,
for a little water is a benefit to the
sasd and causes it to pack, and, too,
macadam needs some moisture. But
the danger is all on the side of INSULT
clent drainage, and so Mr.. Kerns de-
mands thoroughness in this particular
as of the first Importance even in
sand
The center of the highway is ac-
curately determined, and from this
point the roadway to be metaled is
marked off four and one-half feet each
side, making it nine feet in width. 1t
