Hardware Dealers on Good Roads,

At the annual meeting of the State
Retail Hardware association, held in
Syracuse, n. T., last month, the pres-
dent, Louis ]. Ernst, in his annual ad-
dress discussed among other subjects
that of good roads, Mr.. Ernst said
among other things:
"A great factor in business is that of
good roads. and it behooves ell Of us
to do what we can to have as many
roads throughout the state put in such
condition that travel over them.is pos
sible at all seasons Of the year. Good
roads enable the farmer to drive to the
nearest market place with ease, dis
pose Of his produce and make his pur-
chases. This is a matter that has re-
ceived any amount of attention during
the past few years and great strides
have been made toward Improvement.
We. however, as interested merchants,
should give the matter our active and
moral support to the end of extending
this good roads system and to see that
other roads through the rural districts
be improved and that they be kept in
repair. In that respect there is much
carelessness."

nize as being one of the most imDor-
tant features for building successful
road. We next excavate the earth to
| One-half the thickness of the stone to
be put in. Before putting in the stone,
however, our subgrade is thoroughly
rolled down by our ten ton roller The
first layer of stone is put in four or five
inches thick, consisting of stone run
ming from three to four inches screen
ed to size and well rolled. This is fol-
lowed by another layer of same size in
like manner, also well rolled. and then
just enough screenings put on to fill ND
all vOids and bond the stone and again
rolled.
The third or last layer consists of
stone running in size from one to two
inches put on two or three inches thick,
well rolled, with only enough screen
ings to bond the stone and leaving the
road with a smooth finish. Care is nee
essary where narrow track of stone
road is built to keep same above the
earth road and with enough crown to
allow all water to run readily to the
sides or cutters. We start our grade
with crown Of three or four inches
which we hold till the road is finished
The first two miles Of road built
were constructed under favorable cir
cumstances, as we had to haul the
stone but one and one-half miles, and
teams made seven and eight trips
apiece per day. It required about $500
tons Of stone to the mile. We have
been using limestone and Inst year we
had to pay CT cents per ton freight on
board cars at Oak Harbor. This year
we were compelled to pay so cents
per ton. The average cost of road
ten feet wide and ten inches thick
would, estimate. be about $1,000 per
mile.
This year we built one of our main
roads sixteen feet wide, ten inches
thick in the center and five inches on
the sides. This cost us $500 per mile,
the cost, Of course, depending upon the
cost of material and the distance at
which it has to be hauled. In this es-
innate labor, fuel for road roller and
other expenses-the donated labor be-
ing counted the same as hired labor
are figured complete.
We own our own steam road roller.
and we find this one of the most neces-
sary implements for road building and
for repairing the old roads. The work
of construction is placed in charge of
the township trustee. We do not en-
ploy an engineer or contractor Bids
are asked at the proper time for the
crushed stone and then the contract
for this is awarded to the lowest bid
der. So far limestone being the mos:
available material we have used Il.
and the figures ! have given are based
on the same.

~ poor sailor, chanced to marry
~ pretty wife, possessed of thou

Well, come out on the piazza. We

love to listen to the roar of the surf.
1t reminds me of old times, you know.
Light fresh cigar. You have nothing
like them in the states, can assure
you of that And now for my yarn.
Many years ago l was chief mate
on board of down east brig engaged
In the South American trade. The
captain was good enough at heart, but
he did love gold dollar SO much that
the passion of avarice at times warped
the better and prevailing instincts Of
his nature
was young, careless and free, with
out soul living / could claim as kin,
and as happy in my lone state as you
can well imagine. / had but little
responsibility on my shoulders, the
skipper taking entire control, even to
details.
We were to the southwark of the
line, outward bound, and upon the
eventful night in question, which was
truly an era in my life, l had the first
watch. The wind was light and the
ocean as calm as though asleep.
We had all our light kites set to WOO

water not over three knots an hour
Absorbed in my own thoughts and re-
flections, l was leaning idly over the

from the man at the wheel brought
me to myself

by the man and, to my intense sur
prise, saw a bright light, not unlike Il
bail of fire. which threw a lurid. trcmu-
lous light across the dark waters.

seaman, with an inquirlng look.

In another instant was rapping in
no gentle manner at the shippers state

''What-what Is the matter?" he
stammered, rubbing his eyes. "Is there

NO. sir: it's as pretty night as l

GOOD ROADS FOR THE WEST.
Convict System Employed to Advan-
taqe In California.


California is rapidly coming to the
front in regard to good roads system.
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Frank
Lindsey, who has been demonstrating
some automobile cars, relates some of
his experiences while on his trip
through California. He says: II en-
dured more hardships the year and a
half l was out there than all the rest
of my life. There are very few roads
out of San Francisco. In fact, they
are not roads, but mere passes. While
the roads leading into Los Angeles are
fair, they are far from being excellent.
Our seyerest test was while touring
the southern part of California through
sand and over mountains. At times
we were compelled to use fiat bot
toned boats, the rain having washed
away the roads entirely.
Now California has recovered from
the earthquake the state has taken IN
the good roads movement that is SO
rapidly advancing and which in time
will place our country on a par with
our foreign neighbors.
California has adopted the convict
system of road building so successfully
employed by other states. While tour
Ing through southern California we
saw convicts at work on the improve
ment of roads, with their camps every
few miles. The convicts work in gangs
OF twenty each, with an armed guard
to each gang
California holds charms which draw
large and increasing numbers of motor
lists each year, and now that good
roads work is being done the Golden
Gate State will become one of the most
popular touring sections of our coun-
try
