The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-12-15

from ditch bottoms are piled in the
middle of the road in a ridge, making
mudholes a certainty. 1t is important
in using a grader to avoid building up
the road too much at one time. A road
gradually built up by frequent use of
the grader will last better than if COM
pleted at one operation.
The foreman frequently thinks his
road must be high in the first instance.
He piles UP material from 10 inches
to foot in depth, only to learn, with
the arrival of the first rain, that he
has furnished the material for so
many inches Of mud. All material
should be brought up in thin layers,
each layer we'll puddled and firmly
packed by a roller or traffic before
the next is added A common mis-
take is to crown too high with the
road machine on a narrow road.
The split-log drag should be used to
fill the ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed. The drag pos
sesses great merit and is so simple in
construction and operation that every
farmer should have one.

TO MAKE DIRT ROADS BETTER.

TO MAKE DIRT ROADS BETTER.
With a sandy soil and subsoil of
clay or clay and gravel, pillow deep so
as to raise and mix the clay with the
surface soil and sand. The combina-
ton forms a sand-clay road at tri-
fling expense. If the road be entirely
of sand a mistake will be made If it
is plowed, unless clay can be added.
Such blowing would merely deepen
the sand, and at the same time break
I'D the small amount of hard surface
material which may have formed.
If the subsoil is clay, and the sur
face scant in sand or gravel, blowing
should not be resorted to, as it would
result in a clay surface rather than
one of sand or gravel.
If the road is of the kind which,
according to the above instructions,
should be plowed over it's whole width,
the best method is to run the first
furrow in the middle of the road and
work out to the sides, thus forming
a crown. Results from such blowing
are greatest in the spring or early
summer.
In bitches a plow can be used to
good advantage, but should be follow
ed by a scraper or grader. TO make
wide deep bitches nothing better than
the ordinary drag scraper has yet been
devised. For hauls under 100 feet, or
in making fills it is especially serv-
iceable.
1t is a mistake, however, to attempt
to handle long-haul material with this
scraper, as the wheel scraper is better
adapted to such work. For hauls OF
more than 800 feet, wagon should be
used. The machine most generally
used in road work is the grader, or
road machine. This machine is espe-
cially useful in smoothing and crown
ing the road and in opening bitches.
A clay subsoil under thin coating
o. soil should not be disturbed with a
grader It is also a mistake to use a
grader Unfortunately and to pull ma
terial from bitches upon sand road.

MACADAMIZED ROADS NOT NEG
ESSARY

The cause of the good roads move
ment is very often hindered by lot
of theoretical and extravagant notions
advanced by those who do not thor
oughly understand conditions in the
rural districts, says The Farmer. When
the good roads crank from the city
first joins the movement, perhaps at
ter a rough ride in his automobile
over country roads, he often seems to
think that our country roads should
be paved, macadamiZed or remOdeled
so that they are of the same quality
as the rural roads of the thickly set
tied eastern states or those of Europe
of which he has read. When these
theories get to the farmer and he be-
gins to think of the immense cost of
these new tangled roads he Immediate
ly balks and we don't wonder at it.
An agricultural paper in the North
west recently advocated macadam
roads. AS a matter of fact we in the
Northwest, with our newly settled
country are just ready for the primary
principles of road making. We have
not as yet gotten the most out of the
raw materials we have at hand. AS
a whole, we have not yet learned to
construct our roads SO that the water
has a chance to get off. We have not
yet learned to grade the road and fill
it with good hard dirt instead OF sod.
We have not yet learned the economy
of making good permanent bitches
and culverts and bridges that will not
be continually out of order. Consid-
ering the present condition of affairs
we are not ready for macadamized
or brick roads or any other expensive
kinds of roads for several years to
come, except in old settled sections.
What we need now is to have every
Job of road work under the supervi-
sion of experienced men. We need a
proper expenditure of the road taxes.
We need a better knowledge through
out the country on the best shape to
make a road, the proper way to keep
it solid and free from excess water.
We need a more general use OF the
split log road drag. We are glad to
side with our Northwestern farmers
when they refuse to listen to foolish
theories about expensive country
roads. On the other hand we believe
in having the road work done under
experienced supervision and in the
best use of the raw materials we have
at hand. We can better our country
roads a hundred per cent by the use
of little common sense and energy
we'll directed.
Recently good roads convention
was held in Missouri and prizes were
awarded to those farmers who came
to town on King road drag. A prize
was given to the man who rode his
drag the farthest, another for the best
constructed drag, and another for the
best outfit, team and drag to count
equally.

BOY LOSES FOUR FINGERS
BY PLAYING WITH CUTTER
Sent by His Father from Hollywood to
Purchase Leather, He IneautIousIy
Experiments with Recently
Oiled Machinery

Melborne Astholz, an 11-year-old
school boy whose home is at Holly
wood. suffered the loss of four fingers
of his right hand while playing with
leather cutter in Los Angeles es-
tablishment yesterday.
The boys father is q shoemaker at
Hollywood. Needing some leather yes
terday he decided to send his son for
it, as he was unable to leave his shop.
The boy came to this city and went
direct to the place where he was to
secure the leather. While waiting for
his purchase to be wrapped he began
playing with a large cutter. The ma
chine had just been oiled and when
he pressed the lever the heavy blade
descended. Before the boy could jerk
his hand back his fingers were cut OF
as smoothly as II the work had been
done by an experienced surgeon.
His cries of pain attracted the at
tention of employees of the shop who
rushed to his assistance. He was hur-
ried to the receiving hospital, where
his injuries we're dressed. His parents
were then notified and his mother came
to the city for him.

BUCKET SHOPS
RUMMELL AND MORRIS PUT ON
THEIR TRIAL
JUSTICES COURT LOOKS LIKE
BROKERS' OFFICE
Constant Clashes Between Attorneys,
Reticence Of Witnesses and objec-
tlons by Both Sides Mark First
Day of Proceedings

Clashes between attorneys. constant
objections on both sides and efforts by
witnesses to give only the most nom
committal answers marked the day In
the trial Of H. H. Rumme1l and r. b.
Morris, charged with conducting
bucket shops. from the time their cases
were called in Police Justice Cham
bers' court yesterday morning until the
close Of the afternoons session.
The court room closely resembled a
brokers' office, as around the walls
were ranged great blackboards, each
bearing market quotations of different
and on the tables and desks were scat
tered piles and packages OF forms. de-
posit slips, contracts and order blanks.
The morning was passed trying to
have these different boards and papers
admitted in evidence.
Walter Auble, captain Of police, told
of entering the rooms of Rummell and
Morris and identified the different ar
ticles as having been found in the Of
fees. He told where they were at the
time the police entered and described
what business was In progress.
&c. Hobbie, the second witness. told
of having dealt in the place and identi-
fed contracts as having been signed by
him. He said he frequently put up
money. but never actually received
any stock for 1t.
Other witnesses testified to the same
effect, but all their testimony was
brought out only with the greatest
effort on the part of the attorneys for
the prosecution.
At o'clock the case was adjourned
until this morning, when other wit
nesses will testify in regard to pur-
chases of stock alleged to have been
made in the offices of Rumnell and

The usual colonist rates to Califor-

Transcontinental Passenger association
did not take action on the matter at
its last meeting.
I. Q. Peck, general passenger agent
of the Salt Lake route, has announced
that the usual rates will prevail over
that line and ]. J. Byrne of the Santa

1t is also understood that the South

The California roads are putting the
rates into effect because the eastern
roads, by refusing to agree to the usual
regulations and rates, sought to pre-
vent the large travel that annually
comes to the Pacific coast while they
are in force.

to the reading public of this city the
fact--you will please notice don't

cratic conventions are the exceptions
which prove the rule, and they come
only every four years. IL our advertis-

of the Republican convention that Mr..

Sunday Paper as Medium
"In the brilliant argument made last
week in defense of the evening paper
II was admitted that the morning
paper. on account of its Sunday edt-
tior. was superior to the evening In
that respect. Just how far superior
the morning paper is on that occa-
sion is hard to say, but want to tell
you this--that It has been proven IN
| the past by results and is being DEM
onstrated in the present by actions,
that the advertiser has found the sun
! day morning daily to be so far superior
to any other advertising medium that
he uses from four to ten and even
twenty times as much space on that
day as he does any other day In the
week, and desire to impress upon you
this one fact--that the father, the
mother, the sister, the brother, the
son and the daughter all read the sun
day morning paper from cover to cover
and that there are more ads read IN
the Sunday morning paper than are
read on the other six days OF the week,
either morning or evening"

OFFICER WHO ARRESTS HIM

While carrying a large bundle OF
sacks, many OF them new, E. Ybarra,
formerly employed as a track laborer
by the Southern Pacific, was arrested
on Macy street at 5:35 yesterday morn
ing and is now held at the central
station on suspicion.
Ybarra was seen by Patrolman Tur-
ner passing through an alley. The
officer followed the man, who was not
aware of the patrolman's presence un-
til Turner laid his hand on the mans
shoulder.
AS he did so the Mexican dropped
the sacks and tried to run, but Tur-
ner held to him. For several minutes
the men fought, but Turner at last
mastered him and took his prisoner to
Jail. Ybarra is suspected of having
stolen the sacks from a warehouse,
and efforts are now being made to

RUNS FROM PATRoLMAN, BUT
IS PROMPTLY MADE CAPTIVE

r. Kiln, suspected, of knowing more
than he should about several recent
robberies, was arrested by Patrolmen
Glenn and Stevens yesterday and is
now held at the central station on
suspicion.
Kiln was arrested on East First
street. His actions when approached
by the officers were what led to him
being taken into custody.
The patrolmen saw Kiln across the
street from where they were walking.
They stepped over to speak to him
and he entered a saloon and ran
through the rear entrance. When
caught he refused to tell any reason
for trying to get away.
