GILMORE BROUGHT BACK.

Harry Elmore, who was arrested
in Spokane Wednesday and brought
back here Wednesday night, is now
being held in custody. Elmore was
arrested on serious charge which
grew out of the fact that the par
ents of the girl he married short
time ago thought that he was trying
to desert her and their little baby.
Gilmore has been in Spokane for
few days, but he says that it was
not with the intention of deserving
his wife that he went there. He
went to get work, so he says, to make
some money to send back to his fam
lily. He claimed that he did not at
tempt to evade the police or detect
ives, and Sheriff Grant says that
within thirty-six hours after the war;
rant was placed in his hands for the
apprehension of Gilmore, the latter
was under arrest.
The attorneys for Elmore were al
so seen in regard to his case, and
they give practically the same state
ment regarding the matter.
The parents of the young wife feel,
however, that they had good grounds
for taking the action resorted to,
and will no doubt press the charge
of seduction against Elmore.

deep before rolling. On top of that
comes the wearing course, about
two inches thick, of crushed stones
between half an inch and an inch
and a half in size. On top of this
wearing surface is placed layer of
stonescreenings passed through a
half-inch or three-fourths-inch
mesh. These screenings are rolled
into the wearing surface to fill in
thoroughly the voids or depressions
in it. No screenings. however, are
left over what is necessary to fill in
these voids.
after a thorough rolling, when
the screening has been thoroughly
driven in, the road is usually flushed
with water and rolled again until
the surface cements down and binds
the materials together.
"The success of a macadam re-
quires that the fragments of stone
be angular and sharp, so that they
may wedge together to form a mono
lithic pavement. The stone used
should have sufficient cementing
value so that when ground into a
powder by traffic It will amalgamnte
into a compact surface. 1t can be
readily understood that round,
smooth stones would be useless for
this purpose, as they would not
crush together, but would imply sink
and make holes in the pavement. The
rocks should be hard enough to
stand the grinding of wheels and
horses hoofs and tough enough to
resist the impact of traffic. The
crown or cross slope of the finished
surface of a macadam road should
amount to three-fourths of an inch
per foot. The earth shoulders, built
about four or flew feet on each side
of the macadam way, give that much
added width for the passing of
teams.
sit should be borne in mind that
a thickness of thoroughly compacted
macadam requires as much stone and
will give a much more durable and
permanent road than would ten
inches of loose stone.
when good material is available,
a thickness of six or seven inches
gives permanent road, if it is prop
erly taken care of and repaired oc-
casionally. For extra heavy traffic,
or where the road is not to have
proper amount of care, a greater
thickness is sometimes used
"It does not cost much to keep a
macadam road in repair, and proper
attention, it is conceded, adds much
to it's permanence."

OF the policy of the office of pub
lie roads Mr.. Loder said:
''The office of public roads of the
department of agriculture is main
tanned for the purpose of demon
strating the building of roads after
the most approved modern methods
and of making the best use of what
ever local materials are at hand. The
office is designed to educate the peo-
pie of the country on the subject Of
road building. Its policy IS, by con
structing q model road in com
munity, to give the people there an
opportunity to see and appreciate
what good road IS, and also to train
the local road constructors in the
work SO that after the experts leave
they can carry on the work along
the line Of the ideas used.
Wherever these roads have been
built in the past they have resulted
in stimulating greatly the interest
the people take in road improve
ment, and q number of roads similar
in kind to those we have constructed
are being built by the local authori-
ties in places where the government

have deposited money with the Yak
ina Herald as forfeit binding upon
each to appear on the wrestling mat
sometime between the dates or March
LIST and 10th, to wrestle for the gate
receipts and side bet of $3.50. The
bout will either be pulled off in the
Yakima theater, or the Miller block,
at the corner of First and Chestnut

The date will be decided upon in
a few days. Both men had their rep
resentatives here last night, and are
prepared for business. The match
promises to be one of the best ever
seen in this city.

A GROWING BUSINESS.
The Yakima Foundry Filling Long
Felt Want-In Hands of
Practical Men.

An institution that has heretofore
been little heard from, but which
promises in the near future to be-
come one of the largest institutions
of North Yakima, is the Yakima
Foundry, located on the corner of
West Walnut and Kittitas avenues.
1t is an interesting place to visit, es-
pecially on molding days. Saturday
morning a Herald reporter visited
the place out of curiosity and found
the place a most busy one, as the
force was then preparing to mold up
a large number of casting orders,
which were all ready to receive the
molten metal. BY waiting a few
moments the entire process was wit
messed. The reporter was surprised
to see the character of the work be-
ing turned out. The Yakima Found
ry is gradually becoming equipped
to take care of any sized job that
ly received a carload of pig iron,
which is said to be the first ever
brought to this city. This will i'm
prove the quality of the metal used
and of course give their customers a
finer product Just now the
foundry is engaged in turning out a
large amount of mill castings, and
also window weights and stove
plate. They have a first-class pat
tern maker, and are prepared to do
anything in the line of foundry work.
The management is in the hands of
L. 2. Kari, thorough foundryman
and thorough business man. The
other members of the firm are
Messrs. Manahan and Bunce, both of
whom are mechanics and thorough
ly versed in the business. With this
institution at hand there will be no
need, as heretofore, to send to Sc
attic or other points for work, as it
can be done much more quickly and
as cheaply here at home.

NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE.

l. B. Turmoil, manager of the
North Yakima baseball team, pro-
poses a league for the coming sea-
son to be composed of the towns of
North Yakima, Prosser, Walla Walla
and Pendleton, Ore. The PROPOSE
ton meets with some favor here, and
if the right kind of an arrangement
can be made as to a division of the
gate receipts it is said this city can
be counted on to become member
of the league.
1t is proposed to play Sunday
games only, and the league, it is
understood, is to be an amateur af

HOW TO MACADANuzE A ROAD.


A. E. Loder of the office of pub
lie roads of the department of agri-
culture, who is here to supervise the
construction of the experimental
road in King county, has decided
that macadam is easily the best and
most feasible road than can be built
under conditions as they exist in
most parts of Washington. Mr.. Loder
has never been on the Pacific coast
before, but he says he has met con-
ditions very much similar to those
here in various other parts of the
country.
Mr.. Loder has been in the service
of the office of public roads for a
number of years. He is civil en-
gineer, a graduate Of Purdue uni
versity, and has had much expert
ence in his line Of work. He has
constructed and had part in the
construction of experimental roads
in many states in all parts of the
country. His last work before COM
ing to Washington was done in Ne
braska and Missouri.
In describing the construction of
a macadam road as it is done by
government experts, Mr.. Loder said
''In the construction of these eX-
ever kind of road seems most suited
to the local conditions existing. Here
there is a plentiful supply of stone
of the proper kind, and macadam
road, therefore, is the most feasible
and convenient.
"Macadam roads, as is generally
known, are constructed of crushed
stone, but there is, of course, a
proper way to lay them. The most
essential feature is good drainage,
in order to insure dry and firm
foundation. These must be put in
first, either open or tiled drains.
1.-THE foundation sub-grade should
be higher in the center that at the
sides, in order that the water seep-
ing through the upper surface may
run off and leave the foundation hard
and firm. The foundation is thor
oughly rolled and compacted, and
then crushed stone in three sizes is
placed on it. OF these, the largest,
passed through screen between an
inch and half and two inches and
a half in mesh, is placed on the bot
tom, and rolled by a steam roller to
a thickness of four or five inches,
depending on the nature of the stone
and the amount of traffic the road
is built to carry. This stone, of
course, will be seven or eight inches
