ON THE ROAD.

In England when vehicles meet upon
public roads each one is required by law
to turn to the left in passing, but the
rule is different in this country. Near
ly all the states have laws requiring
persons travelling upon the public roads
with teams and vehicles and going in
opposite directions to pass each other
by turning to the right. Each one
must give half of the road, This does
not necessarily mean half of the whole
width of the roadway, but half of
the travelled part of it. Each passer
must leave sufficient room for the
other in passing. A failure to observe
this rule will generally render the neg
ligent party liable for all damages that
may occur by reason of his failing to
turn out, or by his turning out on the
left side This is true even when there
is no collision of teams or vehicles II
injury results otherwise, az for instance,
where the refusal of one driver to turn
out at all, compels the other driver to
drive upon the side of the road where he
is Injured by collision with post stand
ing near the roadside or runs into a
drain or ditch thereon, breaking his
wagon or injuring his horses. The OBJ
stinate driver who refused to give part
of the road would be liable for such
damages.
Every person has right to travel up.
on any part of n public highway when
there are no teams or vehicles coming
towards him; but when one is travelling
upon the wrong side of the road he must
keep sharp lookout for coming teams
aud vehicles and be ready to give them
the rights he claims for himself.
The general rule in Iowa and some
other states is that pedestrians ana
horsemen must yield the whole Of the
travelled part of The road to vehicles, and
that light vehicles must yield in like
manner to heavy ones. but this seems to
be more the result Oh custom anu usage
than Of written law However, snch
custom and usage have come to have
the quality of n law, at least to the ex-
tent that would render a party setting
them at defiance guilty of negligence in
case of collision.
When two teams are going in the
same direction and the driver of one at.
tempts to pass the other, if the foremost
one is notified, it is his duty to turn to
the right and it is the duty Of the hind
most one to pass him on the left.
The foregoing are merely general
rules There may be circumstances that
would render them inapplicable. After
all, it is matter of give and take and
when injuries occur the question al
ways is, who was guilty of negligence
under the circumstances The Wiscon-
sin Farmer

is it not the result Of dishonest discriml-
nation, obnoxious special privilege and
breach of public trust? If, on the other
hand. Mantowoc and Two Rivers are
getting only square deal with all the
other lake ports, then what becomes OF
the supposed preeminence of home

portance of Mr.. Davidson?
is the matter of getting harbor APP
propriations and mail routes matter OF
dishonest tricks requiring an old and
thoroughly trained practitioner, or is 1t
a plain matter of honest business in
which intelligence, tact and industry In
presenting the facts are, and ought to
be- the only factors of honorable success?
In the latter, will the Herald insist that
M.. Davidson is so pre- eminent in tact,
ability and industry that the people OF
Manitowoc County ought to frown upon
every other candidate?
Although the above seems plain
enough, the Chronicle Is not willing TO
leave any possibility of its being mis-.
understood. 1t therefore adds this,
namely, that it does not believe Mr.
Davidson has resorte1 to any tricks,
procured any discrimination or special
privilege in favor of Two Rivers or
Manitowoc, or been guilty of any breach
of public trust. The Chronicle simply
answers the strained and unfair sug
gestions contained in the Herald.

"HOW TO GET TO DALLAS"
Development League Will Send Book
lets On That Subject For
Eastern Distribution.

Hon. U. s. Loughary, president OF
the Dallas Development League,
received the first booklets issued for
use in the boosting campaign on
How To Get To Dallas, Oregon"
Tuesday evening. They are gotten
up In beautiful style and will prove
most attractive advertisement Of this
city and its resources.
The front cover, printed in two col
ors, displays a figure of Mercury,
symbolic of progress, with uplifted
finger pointing to the title of the book
let. "How To Get To Dallas, Oregon" >"
Four pages are devoted to an exposi-
ton Of the resources of Dallas and the
remainder of the booklet contains
tables giving complete instructions
on how to reach Dallas from any Of
the important Eastern cities, the cost
Of making the trip and information
concerning the various tourist and
colonist rates in their seasons.
Two excellent maps serve as a
further guide to the person seeking to
learn about Dallas, and every page
contains one or more fine half-tone
engravings Of scenes representing the
typical features OF the city and sur
rounding country.
On the back cover page is a picture

HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH
City Has Carried Through Enormous
improvements During Past
Year.

The following figures, relative to
the cost of the macadam pavement
laid in Dallas this year, are submitted
by Mayor A. B. Muir and will be Of
interest to all of the property holders
of the city.
Amount of macadam completed
6O15 yards.
Total cost of improvement to city
and to property owners-$ll, ,69l,61.
The bid of the Portland contractors
at 1925 per cubic yard for macadam
and IS cents per yard for excavation
would put the cost of the work COM
pleted this year at the following:
6O15 yards, macadam ..... .$13, ,533.75
6Ol5 yards, excavation .-.,.,. 1,275.40
Total cost -,....,.......,.. Sl4, ,o09. 10
The amount saved to the city by
refusing to let out the contract is the
difference between $l4,SO9.15, the con-
tractors price, and 1,691,6l, the
actual cost, or SO, l17.54.
The city rock quarry near Glendale,
purchased for $50, has been opened
up and developed by the past sum-
mer's work until its value as it now
stands is estimated at $1,000, and the
company which sold the city of Dallas
its rock crusher year ago for $13O6,
states that it would not duplicate the
machine at the present time for less
than $l7OO.
Street paving, however, is not the
only important work that has been
inaugurated and carried forward
within the past six months. Messrs.
Venske & Taylor, the contractors on
the new sewer job, are even now put
ting the last touches on their work,
which, when completed, will give
Dallas nearly 81 miles of new sewer.
The new mains, in addition to those
already laid on Mill and Court streets,
complete system better than can be
found in any other city of equal size
in Oregon and fully as good as the
systems employed in many Of the
larger cities of the Willamette Valley.
