A splendid showing is being
made in the Idora mine in the
upraise for which a contract was
recently awarded. Contractor

The work of the office of public roads
during the past year was reviewed BY
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson in
his annual report. presented to the Pres
ident last week, and some interesting in
formation was presented concerning good
roads Proper construction and main
tenance of public highways still engages
public and official attention to great
extent and the office of public roads, he
said. has proved its usefulness to the
general public more emphatically than
ever before. The adoption of state aid in
the construction of public roads by more
than half the states and the consider
alton of the question by the remainder,
together with large bond issues by many
counties. are indexes. he said, of the gen.
eral interest being shown in the work,
and have occasioned a great demand
Upon the office for advice and assist
ance. These have been given to the
sources of the office. and have brought
about more active cooperation and larger
material results than ever before.
In referring to the experimental work Of
the Office Secretary Wilson had this to
say:
THE most important problem consd-
cred has been that of preventing the de-
structive action of automobile traffic on
costly macadam roads. In working out
this problem experiments have been made
to secure satisfactory binders and dust
preventives with reasonable cost. Excel
lent results have been attained in the
use of asphalt, tar and other bituminous
binders. waste from sugar refineries and
wood-pulp mills and other by-products.
1t was largely to consider this question
that the greatest road convention ever
held was convened at Paris, France. in
which twenty-nine countries participated,
the director of the Office of public roads
being chairman Of the commission of
three representing the United States. Es-
pecial attention has been given to exper
i1nents with blast furnace slag-alone
and in combination with other materials
in the construction of roads, to find a
way to utilize the large quantities of
this waste material available. The sand
clay road has bean found so satisfactory
in the south that it has been introduced
into several of 1.-THE western states, nota-
bly, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. The
construction of such roads Is expected to
prove of great value in the transmits
sissippi states. In the experimental work
of the office that on the corrosion of
iron and steel has been continued with
favorable results. This work was in
augurated to find means of lessening de-
probation in iron and steel culverts in
road work, and was later extended to
fence wire. Upon the findings of this
office a number of manufacturers have
installed approved methods of manufac-
ture which promise to remove many of
the difficulties heretofore encountered
