WeII-center of Highway Should Be

Them Matters Of Importance.
The United States office of public
roads In Washington sent out the fol
lowing bulletin regarding the proper
manner of road drainage:
With an average of 2700O tons of
water falling in the form of rain on
each mile of public road in the United
States annually. it is scarcely to be
marvced Mt that the ten command
mcnts of the road builder can be sum
med up succinctly in the word drain
age" The saying has truth for
basis, as good drainage is the primary
requisite for all roads Even in sand
roads this holds true. for there good
drainage" means such as will safely
remove the storm water without ero-
sion or Outlying and still retain the
surface moisture
TO obtain good drainage one must
take into consideration both the sur
face water and the underground wa
ter. The surface water must be re
moved quickly and completely and
without Subjccting the road to excess
i've scour or erosion. For this reason
the center of the road should be raised,
and the slope toward the side bitches
should be from onc-half to one inch

Convict Labor In Building Of Roads.

At Il recent meeting of the national
good roads board, held in New York
city, Senator C. 7. Lassiter of Virginia
outlined the method Of building roads
with convicts In the Old Dominion.
G. Gordon Neff, the chairman Of the
board, has decided to make canvass
of the entire United States to find out
which states employ convicts In the
building Of roads. This will be fol
lowed up later WITH an effort to get
other states to use convict labor In
road building, There is a general
movement to abolish convict labor in
lines of the Industry where 1t inter
feres with organized labor. but In no
section of the country does organized
labor object to the use Of conytcts IN
the building of good roads.

CAPTAIN OF ROOSEVELT
DISCREDITS COOKS STORY

St. Johns. N. F. Sept. 6.-Commander
Robert e. Peary. who announced today
that he had discovered the North Pole
on April 6. of the present year, found
no trace OF DIR. Frederick A. Cook, of
Brooklyn, who reported to the world
five days ago that he had made the
same discovery in April of the preced-
ing year. This news reached here to-
night through Captain Robert Bartlett
of the Roosevelt. Peary's ship. en- route
to Chateau Bay, Labrador.
Captain Bartlett telegraphed to rela-
tives that Peary had found nothing to
indicate that Dr. Cook had reached the
pole. While Peary does not expressly
repudiate DR.. Cooks contention in so
many words, his statement may have
an important bearing upon determining
the extent Of Cooks explorations.
The Roosevelt was in good condition
and the crew all right, wired Captain
that the schooner Jeanne. carrying sup
plies for the expedition. had met them
or the coast of Greenland.
Coming south the Roosevelt passed

DR.. Cook had preceded Peary

Led Many Expeditions.
Peary's attainment OF the pole
crowns the work of expeditions that
he has led for number OF years His
last expedition was In 1906. when by
means OF the little Arctic steamer
Roosevelt, and by journeying on
slsiges he succeeded In reaching ~
degrees, 6 seconds north latitude.
This was accomplished on April 81
1905 after q gag gag journey In the
Arctic ocean, exactly two years 10
day before Dr. Cook Is said to have
reached the pole. He regarded that
expedition as simplifying the attain
ment of the pole by fifty per cent and
his failure TO reach the pole then was
attributed by him to the fact that the
winter was not a normal one, being
q particularly open winter throughout
the northern hemisphere. He believed
that he could nave reached the pole
then In spite OF the open season II
he had known what the actual condi-
lions were northward as he sub.
sequently knew them. for he would
have modified his route and made

An explorer following In his steps
and profiting by his experiences on
the last expedition. according to Com
mander Peary. could not only attain
the pole, but could make deep sea
soundings throughout the central
polar ocean and delineate the unknown
gap In the northeast coastlfne OF
Greenland from Cape Morris Jesup to
Cape Bismarck.
Commander Peary's last public ap-
pearance at Washington was when
President Roosevelt presented to him
on December Is, 1905. the Hubbard
medal Of the National Geographical
Society at the annual banquet OF that
organisation 1t was then that Peary
declared That man and the Eskimo dog
are the only two mechanisms that
could meet all the contingencies of
arctic work.
"Fror over three centuries the world
has dreamed of solving the mystery
OF the North" said Commander Peary
on that occasion, addressing President
Roosevelt. God willing, I hope that
your administration may yet see those
Stars and Stripes planted at the pole
itself. For between those two great
cosrnic boundaries, the Panama canal
ana the north pole lie the heritage and
the stupendous future of that giant
whose destinies you guide today. the
