Americans Fail as Athletes.

1.-THE failure of Americans as ath-
letes'' is the somewhat surprising title
of a contribution to the October num-
Der of The North American Review by
Charles E. Woodruff. The American
team won more events at the last
Olympic games as will be remem-
bered, than the team of any other
nation, and in view of that fact it
would seem that Mr.. Woodruff's con-
tention has no support in fact But
he examines the history and relations
of the members of the team, and finds
that, where the successful members
were not actually born in other
countries, as some of them were, they
were, in many cases, sons and grand
sons of immigrants. In light of these
facts, he questions whether we are
in this country to evolve a new type
of humanity of exceptional physical
vigor, and he expresses the opinion
that, if we are to keep pace with
other peoples the blood of the nation
must be constantly recruited from
northern Europe. He says:
"Of the native-born, the majority
of the families are of short residence
and should be really classed with the
foreign-born, as their ancestors had
so recently arrived in America For
instance, w. H. Kerrigan, third in
the running high jump, was born of
Irish and English parents; Archie
Hahn, winner of the 100-meter sprint
was born of German father and a
native-born mother of Welsh parent
age; James d. Lightbody, winner of
the 1500-meter run and second in
the S00-meter run, has a Scotch
father and a Hative-born mother of
Welsh parentage; c. M. Daniels, win
ner of the 100-meter swim is native
born of the second generation, his
grandfathers having been Scotch and
Welsh; Edward G. Glover, third in
the pole vault, is native-born of the
second generation, his grandparents
coming from Wales and Scotland /;
Ray C. Ewry, winner of the standing
broad and high jumps, is of the third
generation, two great-grandparents
being foreign-born; F. R. Moulton,
second in the 1O0-meter sprint, is a
native-born Kansan of the fifth gen.
Grafton, and r. G.. Leavitt, winner OF
the 110-meter hurdle, is New Eng
lander of the ninth generation from
England"

CALL FOR NATIONAL ROAD.

Appeal to Have Famous Highway
Rebuilt by the Government.
The National Good Roads associa-
ton, with headquarters in st. Louis.
has sent out the following appeal to
motorists, says the New York Ameri-
can:
'The National Good Roads associa-
tiOn is a powerful force for good, and
Its work is accomplishing results in all
parts of the United States. 1t is en-
gagged in many things that will bene-
fit the people. One of the great
schemes it has in mind and which 1t
has set about to accomplish is the re-
pair and rebuilding Of the great ma
tional road across Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia, Ohio and Indi-
ana.
"That memorable road was intended
to be one of the highways between the
east and the west before railroads were
known. 1t was built at great expense,
costing the federal government over
$7,000,000, and during the early days
was a famous highway over which
thousands Travelled every week. When
railroads came into existence the ma
tional road was neglected, and today
1t is only skeleton of what it once
was.
ut Is proposed to rebuild it, and the
National Good Roads association has
undertaken to have it done by the gov
ernment. The length Of the road is
about 700 miles, and it can be rebuilt
for less than 100000. That is about
the cost Of one good battleship, and we
are building lots Of them. The appro-
priation Of that sum to make this old
road across FIVE states would do as
much good as the average battleship,
for not one such ship in ten will ever
get in a fight. Then when the old road
has been put In good shape to the Mis-
sissippi river it may be that the price
of about three other battleships will be
set aside to build the road to the Pa
clfc coast
zone first class continuous highway
across the continent would be a great
thing. Many traveller would spend
two or three months going and com
Ing by team, bicycle, automobile or
otherwise. 1t would be easy for the
nation to do thing. like this.
"In 1905 10000 Americans visited
Europe and for the privilege of going
over the first class European roads paid
over 00,O0000O."

OIL in ROAD WORK.
EXPERT BELIEVES 1T EXCELLENT FOR
HARDENING SANDY HIGHWAYS.


Cost Is About One-third That Oi
AIacndam, or 81 1900 Per Mile, Says
Kansas PrOfessor-severaI Practical
Tests Made.
"Roadmaking with oil believe to
be commercial success, which will In
time be generally adopted in improv-
ing the sandy roads of the state"
This is the opinion Professor Albert
Dickens Of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, the man who for the past
year has been assigned to the work Of
expendlng the $500 appropriated by
the last legislature for the purpose of
experimenting In oil roadmaking, gave
the Topeka Journal.
"The cost of oiling sandy road"
said Professor Dickens while the guest
of F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board Of agriculture, twill be about
$1,000 a mile. Some roads will cost
more than others. This is only about
one-third the cost of macadam and
where stone is not plentiful is much
less than a third.
1--WE have constructed oil roadways
in four different parts of the state.
Our most extensive experiment was
near Garden City, where we oiled
little over a mile Of road. The sandy
soil absorbed vast quantities of oil.
Four carloads were put into the road
way with a sprinklng cart. At Hutch
inson we made nearly mile of oil
road, and we built short stretches at
Manhattan and Maple Hill.
whether the oil in the roadways
will have to be renewed remains to be
seen. OF course there are certain por-
tions of the oil which are volatile and
will pass off into the air. But we use
for this oiling only the reavy residuum
oil left after the kerosene and gasoline |
have been extracted. This oil IS thick |
and heavy and works better than thin |
oil.
up at Manhattan the people who
own fast horses were so well pleased
with the oil road that they have oiled
the race track and claim that it makes
their track one of the best in the state.
"Out at Garden City, where the sand
S probably as heavy as any place in
he state, the oil experiments are
with the greatest interest.
The whole of western Kansas will be
greatly if the oil road comes
nto general USE There is rich
armlng country tributary to Garden
Jity, which is at times almost cut off
rom the town because of the heavy
and in the roads. The roads are so
)ad that a horse cannot haul more
han ten bushels of wheat at load.
"The farmers living near Garden
Jity and the merchants In the town
re talking of Oiling the main roads
eading to this tributary country, so
hat the farmers can come into town
egardless of the sand.
1--WE have found that narrow tired /
yagons cut up the road badly after it
as been oiled, while the wide tired
yagons tend to make it more solid and
rm. This Is of course true to great
xtent Of the effect of the tires on ordi-
ary roads" :
1t is likely that the next legislature
ill be asked to continue the appropri-
ton for oil road experiments in order
nat tests may be made in other por-
ons of the state and establish fully
ne practicability of this method of
Ood roads making.

Utah Visitors Here

President Elias s. Kimball, of
Blacktoot, Idaho, and Mr.. II. c,
Mortensen, of Salt Lake City, who
are visiting in the valley en- route
home, after visit to Tampico,
Mexico, called in to see us this
week. These men have many
good things to say about our val
ley They are immensely inter
ested in our products, our splendid
horses and cattle, the development
of our farms, and are very highly
interested in the splendid class of
people they meet from day to day.
1t is surprise to them, as it is to
many others who are unacquinted
with the conditions in Arizona, to
fiud here that we are not only up
o-dute, but abreast with the times
in everything. These gentlemen
by way of diversion, 10 connection
with selling stock in their com
pany, are helping President An
drew Kimball to sell policies in
the Beneficial Life Insurance Com
pany of Salt Lake, Mr.. KImball
being one of the projectors of that
new company and one of its most
ardent supporters.
The Beneficial Life Insurance
Company is purely a home com
pany, the stock has all been sub
scribed for by the people of the
Rocky Mountains,-no individual
being allowed to hold more than
$4,000 stock. The members of the
board and all its officers work
without compensation. During
the year 1906 the company earned
seven per cent on its investment, a
record unsurpassed by any com
pany ever organized. Over mil
lion dollars annually go to eastern
companies to pay premiums, but
every dollar paid into this com
pany will swell the amount to be
loaned at a reasonable rate of in-
terest to the people of the inter-
mountain region. A man does
not need TO belong to a corpora
tion or have any special tavorite
"pull" TO get money from this
home company, They are look
ing after their policy holders who
are enjoying at very reasonable
rate of interest the earnings of this
company. President Joseph f.
Smith and the leading men of the
general church organization, as
also several of the presidents of
stakes, all men of the highest
moral pnd commercial standing IN
Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Arizona,
are represented in the board of
directors.
President Elias s. Kimball was,
previous to the late Spanish Amer.
lean war, president Of thesouthern
states mission, and had six hun
dred elders under his supervision.
At the beginning of the war he
was appointed chaplain of the
Second Regiment of Volunteer
and served some five
in Cuba. At the close of
the war be was called by the pres.
idency Of the church to preside
over the Blackfoot stake, Idaho,
where he is still in charge.
