Mr.. Ridley be gan by paying a tri-

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT SCHEME.
Success of Spokane's Arhor and Clean
Ing Day Movement.

To clean up town and keep 1t in
good shape the following scheme, fol-
lowed for two seasons by Spokane,
Wash. has proved very beneficial to
that city and can be adopted In a
measure by any town:
Forty thousand men, women and
children. including fourteen hundred
students in the high school, participat-
ed this spring In the special arbor
and cleaning day movement originated
In Spokane year ago by the city
beautiful committee of the One Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand club. says
the New York Tribune. Mayor Floyd
L. Daggett proclaimed a civic holi-
day, and from early morning until
the sun dipped behind the west
ern hills captains OF financial, indus
trial and commercial institutions, min
Ing kings, lumber barons, professional
men and laborers worked side by side
with their wives, sisters and children
In making Spokane as spick and span
as a new pin. How we'll they sue
ceeded was shown by the fact that
nearly every lawn was raked, the trees
and shrubbery were pruned. alleys
cleaned and vacant lots sown to grass
and flower seeds. The last named
work was given over to the children,
to whom were presented 10000 packets
Of garden seeds by Mrs. r. Well.
Henry L. Lilienthal, formerly city
engineer was marshal of the day and
had under his direction large number
of teams and vehicles lent by the cor
porations and private individuals,
which hauled refuse to the municipal
crematory and the dumps outside the
city limits. Tree prunings, leaves and
other debris were destroyed In bonfires
lighted in various parts OF the city
under the direction of the fire depart
ment The organization Of the forces
was the work of c. Herbert Moore,
chairman Of the city beautiful COM
mittee, who was assisted by vice
chairman in each ward, in each of
which there was committee, Of ten
residents, one representing each pre-
cinct. Every block In the precincts
was represented by captain, and In
this way every part of the city. even
the outskirts, was looked after.
In addition to the general cleaning
work, patriotic and fraternal societies
planted trees in the various parks,
naming them in honor of the grand
and supreme officers OF the various
lodges. The iWoodmen OF the World
and their auxiliary. the Women Of the
Woodcraft, planted a number Of trees
near their bungalows at the Spokane
interstate fair grounds.
People in Spokane displayed more
enthusiasm In the work this year than
they did year ago." Mr.. Moore said.
"and we have reports to show that not
a single block In Spokane was neglect
ed. Everybody worked, and the man
with the hoe, rake and shovel was In
evidence from morning till nightfall,
the result being that the city was
beautiful and clean. 1t is proposed to
have this day set aside and to make It
a civic holiday every year"

TRIpLEx ROAD MACHINE.

pressed at the forward ends and raised
Slightly at the left or back ends. The

The thSiI to which the doubletree Is
hItched. / he chain has three rings In
II, one In the center to be used when
hauling with scrapers square and one
on either side OF the central ring to
hitch when working with scrapers
diagonal. like the split log drag. ~
THE scrapers are held up tightly
under the frames by bolts passing
through castings fastened to the tops
OF the scrapers and up through blocks
OF wood set between the double sides
Of the frames. These castings act as
fifth wheels and allow the scrapers to
swing under the frames into any de-
sired position, but the bolts, being near
the front edges Of the castings and d.
rectly over the center of the scraper
planks, hold them rigidly against the
thrust Of the earth when scraping Is
being done.
by manipulation Of the levers at the
rear the wheels can be held In any de-
sired position. and the frames and
scrapers may be raised or depressed ut
either end. For easy transportation to
or from work both levers should be
back and the scrapers raised clear OF
the ground. The cut shows right lever
part way forward and left lever part
way back.
by lengthening the long connecting
rods the front wheels may be made to
rise ahead OF the rear ones. thus de-
pressing the front end of the frames
and making the front scraper do all
the work. This would only be done In
heavy work. BY shortening the rods
the back end OF the frames would go
down first and each scraper would
take light cut.
"The machine Is easily turned, as the
front wheels are hung as casters and
when frames are raised they can turn
in any direction. The frames are sep
arated by six inch blocks. so that the
wheels and their supporting levers
work between them. The advantage
claimed for the long rigid frame with
these scrapers Is that It will tend TO
cut off all high places and drop the dirt
into holes and thus equallze the road
surface better than would shorter
machine with only one or two scrapers,
which would naturally follow the sur
face OF the road and not correct Its in
equalitles.
"The wheels are three inch tread and
eighteen inches in diameter, and the
frames are each OF two pieces OF 2 by 8
inches by II feet. The scraper planks
are by inches by 7 feet. These di-
mcnslons may be altered to suit condi
tons under which work is to be done
without changing wheels or levers.
when used like the split log drag, TO
trowel or smear the surface OF wet
road, pieces OF by timber can be
fastened on the bottom OF the scraper
planks so as to prevent the blades
from cutting and 10 make fat sur
face four inches broad 10 smooth the
