ROADS
r. AND S.
RoAD MAk1NS.&..a
DRAINING OF ROADS.

Rather Better Drain Should Be Too
LARGE Than Too Small.
Tn adjusting the sizes of drains to
roads one important consideration
should always be borne in mind, and
that is that the velocity OF the water
should not be so great as to wear away
the sides and bottom of the drain. Sew
ers are made as small as possible to
SECURE the greatest velocity and scour-
ing power with given quantity or
water The opposite principle must
be borne in mind in designing drains
for roads. The drain should rather be
made too large than too small, and TOO
wide and shallow than too narrow and
deep, in order to reduce the velocity or
the stream, so that it shall not destroy
the drain. Deep drains by the side OF
the roads are very dangerous, says Az
ricultural Bulletin.
The level Of the water in the drains
should be kept well below the material
forming the road. Macadam consld-
cred 8 or inches sufficient, but others
recommend as much as foot at least,
and more even, if it can be easily OBJ
tanned
Where the road has comparatively
steep longitudinal gradient, and the
water must flow with considerable
force, it may be necessary to go to the
expense even of covered drain con-
structed with slabs of stone or stone
ware pipes or masonry.
It is manifest that in some places
drains would not be required On both
sides of the road. One may suffice, but
in these cases the water falling ON one
half of the road would require to be
conveyed to the ditch on the other side
by drains laid under the roadway.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1907-05-23
Width of Roads.

Macadam thought that ''roads near
great towns ought not to be less than
80 or 40 feet wide, but at a distance
from great towns it would be waste
of land to make them SO wide"
No hard and fast rule can be made
unless it is that every road which is
intended for carriage traffic should be
sufficiently wide to admit of two car
riages passing each other easily, other
wise the greatest inconvenience must
be caused. The surveyor in designing
new roads must be guided by his
knowledge of the traffic of the district
and must regulate their widths accord
ingly. For country roads the widths
should be somewhat more than twice
the width of the vehicles and carts used
in the particular country or locality, so
as to allow the wheels to pass each
other easily and for ordinary main
roads twice this width would answer
every reasonable purpose. If road is
made less than the width of two carts,
it should widen out for short length,
at regular distances apart, to a little
more than the width of two carts, so
as to admit of carts passing each other
at these refugees; but this is at best an
imperfect arrangement, as the drivers
do not see each other till they sudden
ly meet, when one must go back to the
nearest refuge to let the other pass,
says R. Stone in the Agricultural Bulle-
tin.
It should be borne in mind that the
cost of maintaining well-formed road
is not in proportion to it's width. but
more in proportion to the traffic pass
ing over it, SO that in laying down a
new road it is better to make it too
wide than too narrow. Greater width
affords greater convenience to traffic,
and the road is not so often under re-
pair. A narrower road, for the same
amount of traffic, is oftener under re-
pair and wears out both horses and
carts much sooner. This is particular
ly the case where the road is formed
with inferior material.

DECISION NOT REACHED
Interstate Commerce Commission
May Ask Courts to Put Screws
on Hartman.

Washington, March 10.-Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce COM
mission said tonight that so far as the
compassion is concerned taking of tes-
timony in the Investigation in the Har-
riman lines case is closed. but that the
commission is considering the advisable
ity of asking the United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York TO compel Mr. Hartman to answer
certain questions which ne did not an
swer to the satisfaction Of the commits
sion during the New York hearing. Pend
ing such action Mr.. Harriman's counsel
asked 20 be heard before the commission
on April I. which request was granted.
and that date was recently fixed for ar
gumenes-
Chairman Knapp explained tonight that
the commission alone has power to con-
clude testimony in the case and that II
Will reserve the right. il il sees fit, TO re-
open the case at any time.
Mr. Hartman will have a conference
with President Roosevelt next Thursday.
When Mr.. Harriman's counsel asked for
the hearing on April 4, at which time they
want to present arguments regarding the
contention that the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific are parallel and Compel
ing lines it was understood by the COM
mission that if Mr.. Harriman's counsel
desired to submit additional testimony on
that date they might do so. and also If
the commission desired to bring out any
point 1t would. but that any such addi-
tiOnal testimony viii be brief
Asked If Mr.. Hartman was likely to go
on the stand in such event, Chairman
Knapp replied that if Mr. Hartman de-
sired to testify he would be permitted.

GRAND JURY IS
TO MEET TODAY
RumorS of RottenneSs in Sew
eraI Different Branches of
Federal Service.
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN
BOISE PEOPLE IN STATE OF Ex-
PECTANrY.
Especial to The Herald)

Boise, Ida, March 1O.-Rumors are rife
tonight that there will be some startling
sensation or sensations as the result of
the sitting of the United States grand
jury, beginning tomorrow. What these
matters are is not known; but there are
many surmises. Hints are given that
some people high up in the scale VIII be
involved. There are cases pending in
which persons are under indictment for
alleged timber land frauds cases in Wash
ington county. but it seems probable
these will not be brought to trial.
Colonel A. r. Green, special agent of the
interior department, has been here for
some weeks. and il is apparent that the
sensations promised are partially the re
suit of his work. 1t is known that he has
been investigating some complaints made
by contractors on reclamation work, but
the understanding has been that it was
simply an interior department matter. the
contractors complaining that they have
not been treated fairly.
One of the hints given out is in relation
to section line surveys for the govern
ment. Another is that some land matters
in the vicinity of of ShOshone falls are
to be investigated. There is a crooked
section line which throws the falls into
another section from that in which it
should be embraced. There are other ru-
mOrs involving names of prominent per-
SONS. but nothing definite has vet leaked
out The names of the grand jury called
TO report when court meets tomorrow
have not been given out. a circumstance
that is rather interesting

BOLD ROBBERY
IN MINING CAMP
Safe of Saloon and Gambling
House at Ely Cracked in the
Most Approved Fashion.
THIEVES SECURE SNUG SUM
MANY SHARES OF STOCK ALSO
MISSING.
Especial to The Herald.l


Ely. New. March 10.-One of the most
daring and mysterious robberies ever
committed in Nevada was the breaking
open of the safe of W. r. Bass, proprie-
tor of the New Resort saloon. early Fri
day morning.
Bass lost ST. 400 and Frank Willis. bar
tender in the saloon lost 10000 shares of
mining stock of unknown value.
Bass left the saloon at 1:3o O'Clock
Friday morning after a good nights bus
mess both at the bar and at the gambling
tables Before leaving the saloon he
locked the safe carefully. Willis. the
bartender left the saloon at 5 O'Clock
Friday morning and locked the doors.
He returned an hour later and went to
bed in a room at the rear of the saloon,
as was his custom.
When the saloon was reopened later in
the morning it was found that the safe
could not be opened by Bass nor any of
the employees A number of local me-
chanics were called into service. but
nothing could he done until a machinist
opening the safe The robbery was then
discovered. The safe-cracker. after TAX
