IMPROVEMENTS
State Road Engineer Present AZ Special
Meeting Of The Mayor Aud
City Council

The City Council met i'm special ses-
sion yesterday afternoon for the pul-
pose of consultation with state Road
Engineer W. w. Crosby, who viii act
as consulting engineer To the city
during the progress of the improve
mentS authorized under the ordinance
providing for the issuance of bonds.
The session lasted several hours and a
most satisfactory understanding was
reached ON various points connected
with the character Of the type of road
way to be constructed -iarred ma
cadam.
The members OF the city Council ex-
pressed themselves as delighted in
having secured Mr.. Crosny's services
in the matter. lie is a thorough expert
ON matters connected with paVements
and roadways and stated To the Coun-
ell that he was glad to be of assistance
in the matter.
The grades OF the different streets to
be improved were gone over and APP
proved in a general way. The prints
of these grades are on file at the City
Council and can be seen by anyone
interested. The property owners along
the streets to be improved will be
glad to know tnat the grades have
been run so as TO disturb existing
curbs and pavements as little as pos
sible. ON Market, Conduit, Union
and Charles streets, where the side
walks are almost entirely paved, there
is very little change in the grade.
In the Murray Hill section there is,
of course, some slight change of
grades, bu these are almost entirely in
the parts where no sidewalks are
laid. The grades have been fixed with
the idea of causing as little expense
and inconvenience to property owners
as is consistent with securing sulii-
cient grade for drainage.
MIR. Crosby spoke very highly of the
tarred macadam pavement. lt is i'm
pervious TO water, he said, and last
ing. There is no Odor, no sOftening
by heat, little noise and ii is very
pleasant as a driveway. Contrary To
general opinion, there is no dust from
the material of the roadway. This is
explained on the ground that the tar
substance of n properly constructed
pavement absorbs the dust from ths
rock screenings. The only dust is
from substances which fall or are
blown on the pavement, just rs in the
case of vitriiied brick.
MIR. Crsoby also indicated to the
Board his belief that the sum of
money provided was ample TO com
plete the improvements. Upon every
point he gave maximum estimate
and the work was still well within
the proceeds of the bond issue. This
indicates that a number of the
streets at Murray Hill, in which it
was not originally the intention TO
lay curb, can now be curbed

Health Guides cup to Date"

When public teacher comes to the
front with a treatise on health, with
the claim that it is based upon the
flight Of modern science" the public
has right to expect something new
and worth while. We are not children
and don't object to minding old saws
and proverbs and health rules if they
fit the situation. Every sort of expert
ment has recently been made to show
what diet enables man to endure most
in way of physical strain, and some
faddists go so far as to say that they
can order a diet which will enable
men who follow it to live a century.
1t has never been proved and probably
never will be proved. but no doubt
every generation will have its prophets
to voice the extravagant claim.
Dr. Daniel S. Sager is the health
evangelist who offers to guide man.
kind to "well being through proper
eating and living in the light Of mod
ern science" His health creed, sum-
marized by himself and recommended
to result in perfect health and happi
ness to every individual" is set forth
in nine rules, as follows: Deep breath
ing, slow mastication, free drinking of
wuter, bodily cleanliness, exercise, alb
stinence from stimulants, avoidance of
excuses and self control, which in
clEdes cheerfu,ness and patience. Mod
erl science can well say amen to this
health code, but will not be likely to
ella i'm it as a discovery. It is as old
as civilization and has been practiced
as long by untold thousands of people.
many OF whom never read a health
code Ior even heard Of one. 1t seems.
however, that centenarianS without
nuInber have violated at leas> half Of
the coie and scored their hundred just
the same. The spread of the creed
can do no harm and may do good
amnn- that small class who think that
BOOK :alk is the only kind worth re-
gar.ling. But it is nothing new and
not aB experiment and therefore can
lose nothing in force by standing on
its merits as the common sense code OF
the u;,cS.

Columbia Survey.

A special report from Washington
states that Congressman Jones of this
state, after making a careful eXami-
nation of the subject, takes the posi-
ton that the chief engineer having il
charge the proposed survey of the up
per Columbia river and it's tribu-
taries, may proceed with the survey
between Bridgeport and Kettle Falls
under the authority conferred in the
river and harbor bills of 1905. with
out further action by congress.
The report states that the engin-
GERS Office is rather inclined to agree
with Jones in this matter, and has
intimated that if the committee on
rivers and harbors should pass j
resolution setting out that the com
mittee does not consider that the re-
port already made shows a cOmpli-
ance with the instructions of the act
of 1905, the office will feel disposed
W accept THAT view Oh the SlIudJlOn
and proceed at once to make surveys
of the Columbia river between We
natchee and Kettle Falls.
The Improvement of the Columbia
between the points last named is one
for which Congressman Jones has Ia
bored faithfully for years, and if his
present contention is sustained, work
on the survey will very likely be
started at an early date.
