A Mixture Of sand Clay. sand and
Gravel Makes Compact Surface.

Ia the state of Minnesota a road Of
deep sand with the road he'd channolrd
out about six inches doep was treated
with n load OF clay spread out tho
width Of the wheel track. ard about i6
feet IN length. Tho same day an equal
amount Of nnc gravel was spread over
She clay. or course this was n very
thin covering, but after the first heavy
rains the heavy loads passing over
ehurned the gravel, clay and the un-
DERIVING loose sand into a soft mush,
which. when It dried out and became
packed made a hard composite Of
these three materials. This road has
stood the test OF nine years OF travel
There We're three reasons why this
road was made so cheaply and easily.
First, the grade was level. Second.
the sides Of the road bed retained the
materials. Third. the sticky nature OF
the clay bound together both the
gravel and the fine sand already there.
This road proved to be as good as the
average country dirt road and cost less
than 81 per rod.
Last year another road was repaired
by using double the amount OF clay.
that is. a load for about eight feet.
with halt MS much gravel. This road
had a fair foundation The result was
one OF the finest roads in the country.
The cost was about $3.50 per mile Il
viii last seven or eigbt years without
much repair.
Another very sandy road was re-
paired with a load Of loose gravel for
every eight feet. Il was a partiai. fail
ure as the gravel did not pack wen.
Recently gravel intermixed with black
loan has been placed on this road with
good results. making a hard. durable
surface.
OF course, where the grade was
steep lore material was used and the
road vas made more browning TO pre-
vent the water from washing out the
track. A piece Of road was tried with
clay alone. The clay was put on rather
heavily so that It could not. by heavy
loads, cut into the sand beneath. The
sequel was after heavy rains an al
most impossible road. To remedy this
the sand at the sides was scraped and
shoveled on the clay. to the depths OF
several inches where Il soon became
mixed with the clay. producing a good
surface but not as good as gravel
would have made,
First. from this we infer that a very
small quantity Of clay mixed with the
sand OF the road will greatly i'm
prove e.
Second. that & IL a mistake to put a
heavy coat OF clay owe sand unless an
abundance Of gravel can be procured
to mix with t.
Third that heavy clay roads AZ times
having bad mud holes can be improved
by adding two or three inches Of sand.

the clay, making II more friable aud
less liable 10 become muddy and full
% holes.
The gravel was hauled az about an
average distance o. 1is miles and the
clay about three fourths Of a milo.
The cost Of about four miles re.
paired this year aud last was nearly
S1q500. or about 1915 per mile.
Where the clay Is nearby and the
gravel az a considerable distance. most
Of the material may be clay. but Il the
conditions are reversed. gravel should
be the principal material using enough
clay TO bind the materials In a hard
solid mass.

INDIAN STORY RECALLED.

The recent Ute Indian outbreak re-

many of the men who were the heroes
of it are no longer here. But a part
Of the story-"All of which saw,

finer company of soldiers ever mus

other state, went up against an army
lof splendidly mounted and armed Ute
warriors ON the east side of Medicine

morning, little after daylight. One
brave boy, Sergeant Waugh, was shot
| TO death while carrying a flag of truce.
