OIL IN ROAD BUILDING
How Petroleum Is Used on Top
of a Macadam Bed.
A FINE SURFACE OBTAINED.

Better Than Asphalt, Does Not Crack
and Lump-RolIing Must Not Be
Done In Wet Weather or When
Ground Is Soft.
The old system of 'oiling roads and
streets" is clearly a fiat failure except
tor moderate improvement of some
Of the worst thoroughfares. The new
system of making roads with oil' is
proving a success whenever proper
methods are pursued.
The oil and natural soil no longer
go where real results are wanted,
The use of the heavy ten to eleven
gravity petroleum has become quite
general. It's superiority has been well
demonstrated, but there is a wide diff
ference between different oils of this
gravity and with the same amount of
aSphaltum. Some of that sold is well
nigh useless, although it is unQues-
tiOnably of the specified gravity and
contains the required percentage of as
phalt. The oil must possess the adj
heSive quality and be able to bind the
rock and asphaltum tOgether-in other
words, the necessary petroline
The best roads are undoubtedly the
macadamized highways found in older
sections. The building of such thor
Oughfares with the use Of oil on the
surface to form q top dressing and

PlattevilIe Mines Consolidate.

A consolidation of four Platteville
mines has taken place into one COM
pany, the American Lead, Zinc and
Smelling company, with capital of
81 900, 900. The mines consolidated
are the Empire, Acme, Royal and
Mitchell. 100000 is to be expended
in making improvements. A new
central power plant will be built at
the Empire mine, to furnish power

Empire will also be enlarged and the
working shift increased from 8 to 20
hours day. The new company paid
the following prices for the property:
Empire 100000 in cash and 10000
shares of stock.

the payment of the old company's debt
on mine amounting to $4,000.

Keep Them At Home.

Parents, keep your boys off the
streets, especially after dark. You
know not what annoyance these little
fellows are, besides they learn all
kinds of meanHess, picking up all the
slang phrases uttered by older boys
who have forgotten the prayers taught
them at their mothers knee when they
too, were innocent little tots like your
own boys now. If you have nice
beautiful yards, allow your boys to
play in them, never scOlding them
for their merry laughter, for tbs
better far to be annoyed at home than
to have them mixed up in an ugly
affair on the street of which you know
nothing until it has grown cold on
everyone's tongue. If you value
their education as you should you
will keep young boys off the street,
where no evil association will corrupt
their morals.-Cuba City News.

Fortify Manhood.

Hudson True Republican: The ad-
dress of Ambassador Bryce last week
to the students of the Wisconsin Uni
versity is an event in the history of
that institution. He is author of THE
Holy Roman Empire' and the Gamer
lean Commonwealth" Either is suffi-
Gent to ensure lasting fame, but so
thorough study is the latter of Amer
lean institutions that President Van
Hise addressed its author as having
come to America to teach Americans.
He is man much above the ambassa-
dor class, but he was sent here on
account of his insight into our kind Of
"a government. Under these circum-
stances his opinions ought to carry
much weight. He places Wisconsin at
the head of the state universities; he
commends its practical tendency, its
open avenues into commercial life,
but he sounds the warning that this
must not be carried too far. There is
need of the development of Individual
manhood; of the knowledge of govern
ment that ensures a strong citizenship.
1t is this that preserves the balance
when the country is threatened with
revolution on the one hand and with
Capitalization on the other. The
country does not need an education
unbalanced on the side of commercial
ism. 1t needs an education of the
heart, line of study that will be able
to withstand the bewildering tempta-
tions that surround modern life.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhammed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the EustaChian Tube
When this tube is infammed you have a
rumblfnC sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its nor
NAL condition, hearing VII be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

A Very DANGEROUS Habit.

Platteville Journal: Keep it in
mind, splitting in public places is a
dirty and dangerous habit. Consump-
ton has its origin in that disgusting
practice more than through any other
means. Children aud babies are pois-
oned by the floating germs released
from the dust of dry spittle. The sub
ject is not a pretty or pleasant one.
but the habit costs lives in every city
and village and that makes reference
to it worthy and necessary.

Boating at Darlington.

Republican Journal: The boating
craze has struck Darlington. During
the past winter F. w. Chapman put
in his spare time building an electric
launch. Excursions became popular
and the desire to pillow the raging main
became infectious. There are but few
cities in the state more advantageous
ly situated than Darlington for pleas
ure of this kind. The boat landing is
only about three blocks from Main
street, the dam makes dead water for
nearly eight miles by river of suffici-
ent depth to run a launch at full
speed. This makes round trip
distance of about fifteen miles and it
is evident that after many years our
people are going to enjoy their oppor-
tunitieS.

ROAD READY FOR OILING.

present Il surface like asphalt pave
ment is just in it's infancy in southern
California, says the Los Angeles
Times. In Pasadena there are a num-
Der of streets of this kind, notably
Madison avenue, prepared at a cost of
u cents per square foot and with a
depth of seven inches of foundation.
, Blocks of this street are scarcely dis
tinguishable from asphalt paving.
There are others similar, but some are
not equal to this. At the same time
they are superior to those prepared in
the old way.
The new method of macadamiZing
and Oiling as laid down in a set of
specifications used for Il number of
streets may be outlined substantially
as follows: For the foundation grading
is done by the removal of all earth,
stone, loose rock, cement, shale, hard
| pan, etc, to a depth Of seven inches
| below the intended finished surface
and to q farther depth of two feet be-
| low the Subgrade whenever mud, sand
or other soil material is encountered,
!
earth or gravel. The whole is rolled
witt 4 roller Of not less than twelve
tons in weight until the surface is I'M
| yielding, all depreSsiOns made by the
roller being filed up and rolled again.
| All portions that cannot be reached by
the roller must be tamped solid, and
the rolling must not be done in wet
| IL, ,nft
| and muddy. This subgrade must be
checked by the street superintendent
before proceeding with work.
On this grade a bottom course OF
macadam is laid consisting of stone
not exceeding three inches in diameter
and not less than one and a half inch
es. This layer will be five inches in
thickness and is rols2d with a twelve
ton steam roller until the stone ceases
to sink under the roller or to creep in
front of it.
A top course of stone between three
| fourths of an inch and an inch and a
half in diameter will cover this to a
depth Of two inches and will be rolled
as before after a first coating of oil
| (one-haIf a gallon to the square Yard
is applied evenly SO as to saturate the
entire top layer. Then all voids are
filed in with rock screenings Of the
same material as the macadam not eX-
ceeding three-Quarters of an inch in
diameter, with a top dressing Of the
same material laid to the depth of half
an inch, after which there is given q
second coating Of oil to the same
amount as before and the whole rolled
and tamped until no evidence of the oil
remains on the surface except as
shown in the color of the screenings.
Sharp sand is to be sprinkled wherever
specifications provide that oil shall be
of 10 to II gravity, with 80 per cent
asphaltum at SO penetration and with
not more than 2 per cent water.
The Pacific Electric and Los Angeles
Interurban railways are using this
method on their rights Of way in Pasa-
dena, Long Beach and one or two
other points. 1t is said to be better
than the use Of asphalt, as 1t gives
with the pressure of the rails under
weight Of cars and can be taken up
and replaced without difficulty. 1t does
not crack and lump, as does the as
phalt. It is hard to tell 1t from the
latter sometimes impossible, for the
average person. In Long Beach the
result has been very good.
