CONSTRUCTING
provement began only small loads were
possible. 1t is important that success
like this should be given wide publicity
because it carries with 1t method as
we'll as encouragement The first thing
done in Pike county was to find out
which Of the cays accessible would
make good road After this impor-
tant matter had been decided bonds
were issued to raise money to buy
equipment. This comprised eight out
fits Of fourteen to sixteen mules each.
wagons. plows. scrapers and hand
TOOLS
1.-The extent to which this form Of
road construction can be used in public
road improvement throughout the coun-
try can hardly be overestimated. In
making small repairs to roads If in
stead Of filling mudholes with brush a
bars and gravel beds found along the
streams In billy portions of the country
were hauled to the road, permanent i'm
provement would result.
ut has been found that this kind Of
road is admirably suited to the north
western part of the United States as
well as to the southern, and it is be
icved that 1t will be found worthy OF
more general study than 1t has ever
received heretofore. Its study should
be Of interest to the public schools in
the rural districts of the country. II
schoolboys We're encouraged to make a
sandclay walk to the schOolhouse, the
teachers task of keeping clean school
building would be sufficiently lessened
to make up for the time taken to inter
est the boys. Besides this actual i'm
provement. 4 lasting benefit would be
given to that community from this sim.
pie study of valuable process. For n
large part OF the country the sand-clay
road is the only road possible or with
in the reach of the rural districts. II
requires less money to build than any
other type of road except the earth
road and less money to repair. 1t is
simpler in its construction than am
other except the earth road and lasts
longer with the same amount of re-
pair"
On the subject of cost the bulletin
says:
1T is Of course impossible to state
definitely the cost of this form of con
struction, as it will be found to vary
with the price of labor. the length of
haul, the width of roadway and depth
and nature Of material. If we assume
however, that the clay can be procured
within mile of the road which is tC
be improved and that the cost of labor
Is about 81 per day and teams SO pei
day. the cost of constructing twelve
foot sand-cay road on a sand fOunda
ton. covered with clay to an average
depth of six inches would be approx
mately for a distance OF one mil,

According 70 the experience If tht

a Rising Chinaman.

An official report states that an
other great man has arisen in China,
one who, by his ability and his
achievements, gives promise Of being
fit successor TO the late Ii Hung
Chang. This new leader in the Celes-
tial Kingdom is Yuan-Shih-Kai who
not long ago was appointed president
Of the board of foreign affairs at
Pekin. He was formerly viceroy OF
Chih-Li. entering on the duties OF the
office when that province was in dis
order and chaos. He grssped the
reigns of government with firm
hand, put down thieves and plumber
ers of all kinds, and made himself
feared and hated by all evil-doers In
that section OF the country. The good
effects OF his strong and righteous
rule became speedily apparent, and
he was recognized as the ab'est and
most patriotic official in the whole
empire. While governor of Chih-Li
he instituted good relations with for
eIgners, and became popular with the
