between Thermal and Coachella. In
California, a distance of three miles.
The waste waters from the Coacheila
Ice plant are diverted along this high
way and extend almost to Thermal be-
fore they are absorbed by the soil,
says the Los Angeles Times. The
proposition is now made that fig trees
be set along the highway. on the water
ditch, where they would be kept grow
ing by the waste water. Within a
year these trees come into bearing, and
the three mile highway, lined with
bearing fig trees. would not only be a
most attractive drive, but might be
made to yield profit for road i'm

GOOD ROAD CONGRESS-.
Purpose and Features Of the Interna-

Purpose and Features Of the Interna-
tlonal Gathering at Paris.
Colonel Charles g. Bromwell, Cliff
ford Richardson and William Page
have been appointed by President
Roosevelt to represent the United
States at the international rond con-
gress to be held In Paris during Octo-
Der, 1908.
Napoleon was great advocate of
road building, and since his time
France has spent between S500,000,-
600 and $0O0,OO0OO0 on her highways.
Tho advent of the automobile has
proved a serious menace to the sur
face of the roads, and the purpose of
this congress is to hear opinions of
experts on the subject and to con-
dense them into practical idea of the
treatment and caro- OF the surface OF
a road.
This congress-, to which the govern
ments of the various nations have
becn officially invited to appoint rep
resentatives, will bo opened Oct. IL
and will be I'm session seven days.
1t Is proposed during tho life of the
congress to give several festivals In
Paris and also excursions, one par
ticularly to Nice, to enable the mem
bers to visit especially fltted up roads
or roads in course OF preparation.
The United States government Inns
made several tests at Washington late
Ily, principally by taking photographs
OF the clouds OF dust raised by each
automobile. going at different rites
OF speed at from FIVE to sixty miles
an hour. These dust clouds were
weighed in order to determine how
much of the surface OF the road was
taken of by motor going at an ex-
cessIve rate of speed, This point and
a number OF others which have been
ascertained by the government of the
United States undoubtedly will be
brought to tho attention OF the con-
gress by one of the American repre-
sentatlves. and 1t is more than likely
that Colonel Bromwell will read q pa

OILED Maoadom aa Rain pefIer.

During long continued period OF
wot weather at Kansas City and ylcin-
ity the merits and disadvantages of
difreront roads were strongly empha-
sized. The dirt roads, though fairly
good in favorable weather, were al.
most impassablo in many places. But
tho mncadam roads TINT had been
oiled were In excellent condition. AIT
or tho oil has penetrated the macadam
no amount of water can affect the
flrmness OF the paving, Tho rock roads
have heretofore been extremely dusty
In dry weather and sloppy and rutty
in wet spells. Since oil hns been ap-
piled to the surface they remain prac-
tically the same regardless of tho state

FllIInq a Lamp.

Reservoirs of oil lamps should never
be filled to the brim. as oil expands
when heated, and the overflow is apt
70 exude. causing smell of parahin,
while to prevent the oil from flowing
over the edge OF the burner after
the lamp has been filled the wick,

Rural carrlers and Roado.

1t is only right that the postal au-
thorlties demand good roads over
which the rural routes have to travel.
The. people owe 1t to themselves to
build the roads anyway, says the Boli-
var Herald. IL a farmer would fig
ure the time saved to him by having
the mail brought to his door he could
well afford to build and maintain n
good gravel road over every mile Of
the route. Did you ever stop to cal-
culate how much you save in time and
money each year by the rural routesf
Besides these, think of the convenience
aud satisfaction derived from them.

SPLIT LOG DRAG EFFECTIVE.

chance 20 PfoNo ttsof.
Tho heavy fall OF rain that the Red
river valley and northern Minnesota
experienced recently proves beyond
doubt the extreme efficacy OF the split
log drag as good roadmaker. The
streets OF Thief River Falls and many
OF the rural highways leading into the
city have been consistently worked by
these drags for two years. The re-
suits were most apparent and strlk-
ing the other week, just following the
heavy rains.
In spite OF the amount Of traffic
that the streets Of Thief River Falls
carry daily, they arc in excellent con.
,dition, nicely graded and as hard as q
paved street. The country roads that
have been dragged for two years are
as passable as during the driest sea
son In summer, while the roads that
have not been worked by the drags
arc almost impossible.

Death of an Estimsble Lady.

11h A0nouhS - AutoI NNN6NAosS Sse4t
1908, Mrs Ella RadfoTd Fowler,
wife of q. q Fowler, died after
an illness of six weeks.
The death angel, that unwelcome
visitor whose steps we are power
less to stay, entered the homo and
bore away the spirit of our dear
friend and neighbor.
This very kind home is robbed
of the love and sympathy of a Low.
ing wife aud mother; on her
tongue was the law of kindness.
The ohuroh and neighborhood
has Lost much, the family much
more. yet her gain is infinitely
more than our loss.
We miss our good sister in all
the sooial interoourses of life; her
death will be felt, as her life was
an impulse for good at every point,
in the ohuroh, Sunday school,
home and neighborhood,
One word in regard to her ohrie-
tisnity.
When / as called to her bed
side in view of her death, it seemed
as if the atmosphere was sacred,
and as we hurried too and fro try.
ing TO do something to relieve her,
we thought how sacred and how
solemn and yet how grand was the
going out of pure sweet life.
Many are they, who know from
sweet experience, that with her
friendship was sacred and eternal
Death approached in slow. yet
certain step; she cav the enemy
at distance and bore her suffering
with patienoo.
Thus a good woman has gone to
her rest and the world is poorer
for lts loss, though richer and
better because she onoe lived.
And to those who knew her, no
word oan add anything to the in.
conse which invelor es her memory,
or increase the respect which in
life her character challenged from
all with whom che oame in CONTACT.
She sank rapidly in the last few
hours of her illness, and passed
quietly away, wearing the flower
of pure life.
Our sympathy is with the bo
reaved husband and ohilden. whose
home is made desol4te by the loss
of On affeotionate wife and loving
mother.
Time with its healing wings will
heal their grief, and their reliance
must be on Him, who doeth all
things we'll,
A FRIEND AND NEIGHBoR.
Maggie, w. Va.
We sometimes speak offs sad still hour,
When the spirit must go alone
Away from friends aud familiar
scenes,
To the realms Of the great unknown;
But If we keep near tho Savior's side,
When the last earthly moments
come,
His love will cheer all the mystic way;
1t will only be going home.
BeA ond the fearful sad toned fnrwells,
Gladstone greetings for us await
Sweet words of welcome from angel
friends,
As we pass thro' tho poarly gate;
Our risen Savior has conquered death,
And when Iife's twilight hour has
come;
And we are leaving the shores of time
1t will only be going home.
