Milwaukie-At an adjourned meeting
of the Milwaukee council a 20 year
franchise was granted j. L. johnson 6,
Co. to construct and operate a water
works plant east of the Southern Paci-

two water companies.

Trust in No Danger

New York, July 5.-There is little
probability that there will be any prose
cution of the sugar trust until August,
when United States District Attorney
Wise, who sailed Saturday for Europe,
returns TO New York. The failure of
the Federal grand jury to file indict-
ments in its investigation of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company adds to
this impression.

In the movement for good roads to

unattainable and even unnecessary.
Dirt roads will prevail In the more
strictly rural districts for many years
to come, possibly until aerpplanes and
dirigible balloons take the place OF
the good old farm wagon.
Therefore it will be we'll to look
around and try to learn from the ex-
perience Of others how such roads
have been made in other countries suf-
tcient for all the needs Of rural life,
what has been found to be the chief
enemy to overcome and how the con-
quest has been effected.
The one great enemy Of dirt roads
is stagnant water. which, after heavy
rains, and especially in clay Soils Is
unable to get away. Realizing the SOL
vent properties Of water, it Is easy to
understand how destructive its con-
tinued presence is to the solidity Of
dirt road and therefore how necessary
is its removal.
1t IL not only the surface water OF
heavy rains or melting snow that has
to be got rid Of. The action Of what
science knows as "capillarity." the
constant rising of water from great
depths toward the surface, has also to
be contended with. That this natural
process is always going on Is well I'M
derstood, though its causes and meth

bate. To catch and control this water

known as a water plane some three or
