TILE FACTORY
IS ASSURED
G. E. Sims, of Lincoln, ILL.,, Has
Formed Company, With
Local Support
Capital to be SIS, 900, Nearly All
of Which has Been
Subscribed
Work on $4,000 Plant to Begin
as Soon as Incorporation
is Perfected

Mr.. Chas. E. Sims, Of Lincoln, ILL.,,
who for some weeks has been figuring
on establishing a concrete tile and
block factory in Worthington, arrived
in the city the latter part of last
week and set to work to interest To-
cal capitalists in the project with such
good results that the enterprise is now
assured. The company is to be CAPT.
talized at $4,000 with $4,000 paid in.
Mr.. Sims and his friends in Illinois
axe Sc, 800, and loca! people are ex-
pected to take the balance, $500,
and at this writing all but few
hundred of this amount has been
subscribed.
Just as soon as incorporated the
company proposes to erect a plant
costing $4,000, which will be the
largest of it's kind in the state. The
plans presented by Mr.. Sims call for
a concrete block building 60xl5O
feet, which will ho use the boiler and
engine, stock rooms and a large
steam dry kiln.
It is proposed to manufacture all
sizes of concrete drain tile, building
blocks, sidewalk blocks, reinforced
fence posts, and to contract for all
kinds of concrete construction. Mr..
Sims is a practical civil engineer
who has had wide experience in con-
crete construction and comes highly
recommended both as to his profess
sional and business capacity and his
character as man. He has implicit
confidence in the venture and in
Worthington as location, believing,
as we all do: that this is one of the
best points for an enterprise Of this
kind at present unoccupied. The
field is wide and the demand for tile
and building material practically un-
limited. Worthington is fortunate to
secure this enterprise, which is the
first important catch made by the
Commercial club, and cordial man
ner in which solicitations for stock
subscriptions we're met shows that
our people are alive to their interests.
The factory will employ from half
dozen to thirty or forty men, accord
ing to the demand for it's product,
and can be operated the year around
Plenty of good sand has been found
within easy reach which will furnish
the bulk of the raw material and last
for years to come. As yet no site
has been located so as to have track
age from both railroads.

HOW TO MAKE GOOD ROADS
Suggestions by State Engineer Cooley
Of Minnesota.


State Engineer George w. Cooley Of
Minnesota. who recently discussed
macadam roads with the members or
the road aud bridge committee OF the
county board. also discussed the snecl.
fications for Ramsey county road work
aud gave the members OF the commit
tee many valuable suggestions. Mr.
Cooley spoke OF the growing popularity
or macadam roads I'm the eastern
states. where the best roads that mon.
ey can procure are demanded His
opinion was that good earth road
Us the best that can he had, but they
are hard TO keep In repair. whereas
macadam roads may be built 10 last.
Scientific methods should be adopted
and specifications must be carried our
10 the letter.
In building macadam road the
foundation Is the main thing. The
voids In the crushed limestone founda-
ton should be tightly filled with gravel
Instead OF clay, which Is sometimes
used. A very little clay may he used
but for tllllng purposes gravel Is much
more satisfactory. There should be
no shoulder ON the side OF the road.
but the macadam should he gradually
feathered OF TO the edge and made
water tight. The material used for n
nller should be applied before the road
Is rolled. On top OF n foundation of
Tour inches OF crushed limestone an
Inch and n half OF pit gravel. Wash
the gravel I'm with street sprinkler
and then roll. The next layer should
consist OF three inches OF smaller hard
stone treated In the same way ana
then a layer OF pit gravel feathered or
to the edge
Mr.. Cooley said all the materials
should be specified and nothing left to
the choice OF the contractor. Even the
gravel pit should be designated. The
contract should be SO worded that I'm
the event that the gra rel pit desIgnat-
ed failed TO pan out well ah the way
through the contractor can be required
to go elsewhere for this supply upon
making an equitable adjustment with
him. Such an arrangement would be
Tar more economical than To permit the
contractor 10 20 ON with unsatisfactory
materials. In this way the board could
control the sources OF supply and moth.
Ing would he left 60 the within OF the
contractor.
Mr. Cooley also went into the ques-
tlon OF maintenance of roads, which he
considered quite as important as con.
struction. The contractor. he said,
should he required to keep u man OH
the road for two weeks after It's COM
pletlon TO look out for defects

There are a great many contrast
ing border effects and many of them
are exceedingly beautiful. but there
are also tucked borders. and the
plain coaching parasol is always in

In part due to the needs OF the mo-

But no one style OF parasol can be
said to prevail for the carriage any

The new state of Oklahoma has
laready enacted law taxing state
banks. the fund thus accumulated
to be used in paying the depositors
OF any state bank that from any
cause becomes unable TO meet its
obligations. A special session OF
the Kansas legislature has been call
cd for the purpose OF enaeting legis-
lation similar TO the Oklahoma plan.
The governor OF Nebraska IS DON
sidering the advisability OF calling
special session OF the legislature
on account Of the growing belief
among the people that protection TO
bank depOSitors in the form Of state
or federal guarantees OF their be-
posits will stop the boarding OF
money, bring into circulation sur
hcient currency to conduct the bust
ness Of the country. and prevent
recurrence Of such disastrous panics

now passing.
