DiONEER DAY.

r
Sixty-one years ago today the hardy
little band OF pioneers under the
leadership of Brigham Young descend
ed into the valley of the Great Salt
Lake and founded a state. Many Of
them have long since passed away,
but the fruit of their toll remains. and
upon each recurring anniversary of
the 2ith OF July. lS41, we let our
thoughts wander back over the inter-
vening years to the time when the
Mormon pilgrims. hot. tired and dusty,
came through Emigration canyon and
pitched their camp upon the banks of
City creek.
Sixty-one years ago Utah was part
of the possessions of Mexico and few
white men had penetrated the noun
tains and cast their eyes over the
promised land" Kansas and Ne
braska formed part of what was
known at that time as the great
American desert" and the rush of the
gold seekers to California had not be-
gun.
Sixty-one years ago James h. Polk
was president and the country was at
war with Mexico John Quincy Adams,
Webster. Clay, Calhoun and Benton
were still alive, and the halls of con-
gress resounded with their eloquence.
The question of the extension of
slavery was looming up black and por-
tentous. the final settlement of which
embroiled the nation a few years later
in a bloody, fratricidal war.
Sixty-one years ago the railroad
lines were comparatively few and in
significant and confined to the eastern
portion of the country. Steamboats,
and stage coaches were the ordinary
means of transit for travellers. while
emigrants sailed over the plains and
valleys in prairie schooners, drawn
by horses or mules or the patient. but
going oxen.
| Sixty-one years ago Chicago was a
mere village when compared with st
| Louis and Kansas City, Omaha, ST
! Paul and Minneapolis and other bust
| ling cities of the west We're still IN fu-
| turity. though struggling villages ma!
have occupied ground now covered

Coming down To the present, how
| our hearts swell with pride as We
stand upon the hilltOps and look out
over the surrounding country and se'
| clusters OF farmhouses and cultivated
fields. with here and there a little VII

that July day in lS47. when the pio
neers first set their stakes and began
to clear the land that they might rear
a harvest as soon as possible. Neal

the arrival of the first settlers IN TN
valley we accord them all honor TO
their achievement and wish the few

unalloyed happiness.

STICKING TO ONE BRANCH.

At a mems cafe one night young
Americar-a bar Der-fell in which an
Englishman. The latter was berating the
Yankees for doing all manner of bust
ness in their shops and for not follow
ing the better English plan of sticking
to one branch.
The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved. The barber
gave his face an extra good soa ping and
left him, at the same time seating HIM
self to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a few
minutes when. seeing his attendant read
ing he blurted out:
why don't you shave me. sir?''
You will have to go up the street for
your shave" quietly replied the barber.

MODERN ROADWAYS
Santa Clara County 0rganiza-

Method Used in Southern Cali
fOrnia Proves Successful,
Dust Free and Durable
By George b. POIhemus

From time to time we hear OF the
good people coming together to con-
slider good roads. and in many cases
good results have been attained. but
in the main there is too much discus
sion and not enough actual work. The
santa Clara county automobile club
has been through this, but it has done
things and is still doing more.
The automobile club, seeing the ne
cossity for permanent roads, sent Super
visor Hubbard aid County Surveyor
DTcMiIlin 10 southern California to in
spect the petrolithic roads there. Their
report being favorable. Hubbard pur-
chased the necessary implements. en-
gagged a foreman recommended by the
builders OF Los Angeles. and began
work on seven miles of thoroughfare
south OF San Jose on the Monterey
road. which is much used.
This work was done in sections, and
It IS supposed to follow certain
schedule. given out by the petrolithie
company Of Los Angeles. After a GER
tain amount OF asphalt has been
tamped into eight inches OF the plowed
up road. and really tamped so hard
that you can hardly make an impress
sion on it with a pick. two and a half
inches Of rock is tamped into this hard
surface it being wetted and thus soft
ened by water to allow the tampers to
do their work.
IMPROVEMENT MADE
Finishing a section in this way We
felt il was not exactly Of sufficient
durability TO be considered a perma-
nent road for heavy teams. so Super
visor McRon made a trip south. The
result Of this trip was that a section
was built by softening the tamped
eight inches with asphalt instead OF
water, and six instead Of two and
half inches of broken rock was forced
into the road, making what we have
every right to expect to be- roadbed

other road improvements Another
important feature Of this road is that
II IS easy 10 repair if repairs should
become necessary. The repairing is
done by simply putting on a layer of
rock and tamping il into the defective
spot.
OF course. this kind Of road building
requires funds and the available road
bonds provided are not sufficient to
build any great amount of this road.
our best road club or association was
formed TO secure funds for road build
ing and soon had 1,200 members. A
committee was chosen and waited ON
the supervisors. asking them TO increase
the taxes 10 per cent the increase to
be used for road building which was
