DIRT ROAD BUILDING.
How TO Make the Roadbed Solid anu
Do Away With Ruts.

Do Away With Ruts.
In the construction Of a new road
through an open country the usual
custom has been to excavate bitches
with the road grader and throw all
the material into the center of the
roadway, thus making what is often
called a turnpike. The objection to
this method is that the most important
part Of the roadbed the foundation.
is composed largely OF soft material.
which does not easily become conson-
dated. \ better way would be to re-
move entirely all sod from the DOR
tons eXcavated and use it for filling
IN the low places, where It can be Gov
cred with at least three feet of earth.
says Samuel II. Lea, state engineer of
South Dakota. After the sod Is re-
moved the road grader can be prop
erly used for carrying up the earth
into the roadway, and the entire road
bed is formed Of solid material. which
In It's future settlement is compacted
uniformly and will be less likely to
develop soft spots, as would be the
case If sod is thrown into it indlscrim-
inately. On level or nearly level
prairie the rOadbed should be built I'D
a foot or two above the original sur
face to provide suitable drainage from
the center Of the roadway to the
bitches, and the crown Of the road
Should be sufficient to allow the water
from rainfalls TO be quickly carried of.
\ good road In order TO stay good
must be properly maintained and kept
IN good condition A very important
feature Of proper maintenance is that
Of keeping the ruts out by continual
raklug or dragging Whenever ruts
are allowed 90 remain they will hold
water from every rain, which, unless
removed will soften the roadbed and
result iu chuck holes. Injurious alike
70 the toaY, the wagon and the driver.
The process Of dragging, smoothing
and planning the road with one Of the
numerous styles Of road draRs now
happily coming into use in many 10
caIiles Us so simple and inexpensive
that there is no excuse for allowing
any road To- become rough and rutty
through neglect

CHICAGO: Governor Charles N
Haskell, Of Oklahoma, has resigned
as treasurer Of the democratic nation
al committee. The resignation was
announced by himself three hours af
ter his arrival in Chicago from Guth
rie, Okla, and after he had conferred
with officials of the democratic ma
tional headquarters here.
In giving out his decision, Mr.. Has
kell in response to a question de.
clared he did not desire to be re-
sponsible for any embarrassment
which might result to the democratic
party by his retaining the office OF
treasurer.
For the past week the papers OF the
country have been full OF rumors as
to Governor Haskelrs connection
with the Standard Oil company and
certain railroads and the steel trust.
During the campaign N Oklahoma
last year these same charges were
brought against the governor, but it
would appear that little credence was
given them by the majority OF the
voters Of Oklahoma.
The revival Of these charges during
the present campaign was inagurat.
ed by w. r. Hearst, one of the found.
ers OF the new independence party,
who made open charges against GER
tain men in both Of the old parties.
AS the result Of these charges the re-
publicans forced J. B. Foraker, OF
Ohio. to resign from the national
speakers bureau.
This occasioned general charge
being brought against the republican
leaders by the democrats. These ac.
cusations brought forth oper letters
from both President Roosevelt and
w. j. Bryan. The president made
charges against Haskell, which me-
cessitated trip to Chicago for con-
ference with members Of the national
committee, which resulted in the res
ignation OF Governor Haskell as the
treasurer of the national democratic
committee.
When Mr.. Haskell arrived in Chi.
cago he declared that he had not re-
signed and that Mr.. Bryan had not
asked him to resign.
He then went from the station to
the democratic headquarters at the
Auditorium Annex. When a list OF
questions was handed him he retired
to his room, saying he would give
out any answers later. In his room
he was closeted for a long time with
National Committeeman Martin J.
Wade, Of Iowa, and Josephus Daniels,
chairman of the democratic press
committee. IL was midnight when
Mr.. Haskell reappesred from the
room. He had in his bands a writ

lance, said to have been organized
at Muskogee, Okla, to fight the local
labor unions, Mr.. Haskell denied
that alliance was ever organized. In
reply to questions concerning the
Standard Oil company he related his
icrmer denlals or ever having nau
anything to do with that company.
