UNEARTHED RICH TREASURE
While spadlne In His Potato Patch a
Man Digs Up $4,000 In Gold
Dust and Nuggets.

San Francisco, Mar. s.-A special
from Portland states that Richard
Cornett unearthed $4,000 in gold dust
and nuggets while he was spading in
his potato patch near that city. The
treasure, which was in rusty tin
box, Is supposed to have been buried
by an old Australian miner who died
in a cabin on the property over 30
years ago.
After the box had been found, It was
discovered that the place had been
marked by 22 spikes driven in log
near by. They were in a row point
ing toward the treasure, which was
just 20 feet away. The old miner had
confided to his neighbors that he was
rich, but no one believed him. Now
that the treasure has been uncovered
hundreds of the residents are search.
ing for more.

500, 1000 CHURCH DESTROYED
One Of the Finest Houses Of Worship
In Western PennsyIvania Vic
tim Of the Fiery Demon.

Kittanning, Pa, Mar. S.-The First
Presbyterian church, considered one
of the finest houses of worship in
western Pennsylvania, was totally de.
stroyed by FIRE. The loss is 100000
with $4,000 insurance. The fire
started, it is believed, from the heat
inc apparatus, and when discovered
the entire basement and Sabbath
school room we're ablaze.
The flames were sucked up through
the belfry, making huge column of
fire which leaped from the top of the
spire. All the departments from Kit
tanning and Wickboro responded to
the alarm, but could not save the edi
fee. The $4,000 Carnegie pipe organ
and six handsome stained glass memo
rial windows we're destroyed. The
church was built in 1890.

MOTORS TREBLE COST
OF KEEPING UP ROADS.

Expert Shows Need, Of More Durable
urfaoing-Advoeates Use of Btu
minous Cement With Maeadan1-Oil-
ing and Other Makeshifts More
Costly In the End.
Road problems, especially those that
have come with the advent Of the mo-
tor car, are now the subject Of active
discussion. Clifford Richardson, head
of the New York Testing laboratory
and leading authority on street and
road building, recently delivered an
important address on this subject at
Utica, N. Y.
Mr.. Richardson showed that I'm Eng
land the use of automobiles has in
creased the cost of maintaining ordi-
nary roads from % to II per cent. On
the Massachusetts state highways
maintenance cost, due to motor travel,
has jumped from 500 to $500 a mile
year.
"Onr roads are suffering severely
from motor traffic." Mr.. Richardson
said, "and II was for this reason that
the international road congress at Par
is was called.
"The general opinion was expressed
at Paris by the ablest English and
French engineers that this can only be
done by introducing into the wearing
surface of the road some bltumlnous
cementing material. This would bind
the mineral aggregate together in such
way as to make II able to withstand
the destructive shearing action Of the
rear wheels Of motor.
Application Of tar to the surface OF
roads has been most successfully car
ried out by the metropolitan park
board in Massachusetts, and an excel
lent type Of road of this description
Is TO be seen in the Revere Beach park
way, Boston. The original cost of the
application was about 6 cents per
square yard and the renewals in the
nelghborhood Of cents per yard annu-
ally. II Will be seen, however, that an
expenditure of this description will
soon reach that of the additional cost
of bltuminous over ordinary macadam.
The tar treatment can therefore hard
ly be looked upon as economical,
Surface Applications Not Lasting.
"The same statement is true of the
use OF crude Oil Roads treated with 1t
are dustless for a time, but the appll-
cations must be continually repeated,
and the condition OF the road imme-
diately after is far from agreeable. In
fact all surface applications are mere
palllatives and on this account are not
TO be recommended. Our only recourse
which may be looked upon as entirely
satisfactory Is the, construction OF
bituminous macadam surface, using
asphalt in place Of the less lasting coal
tar as a cementing material.
professor Arthur II. Blanchard, as
sistant engineer Of the Rhode Island
state board OF public roads, has shown
that the cost OF bltumlnOus macadam
surface over and above that Of one OF
the ordinary form was for coal tar as
the cementing material 10 cents and
for tar and asphalt in equal proper
tiOns 1873 cents per square yard.
'Where asphalt Is used II results in
surface which supports without de-
terIoration the heaviest motor traffic
for period OF at least ten years. At
the same time the road Is dustless,
while an ordinary macadam surface
subjected to meteor traffic Of concen-
trated type, such as is found on many
Of our trunk roads, would require re-
surfacing In few years"

f.l7a persons have lost lhelr i've IN

f,47g persons have lost their lives In
this way.
These figures are pointed to as en-
phasizing the recommendation in the
recent annual reports Of the state rail-
rond commissions Of Pennsylvania and
Indiana that laws should be enacted
providing substantial punishment for
all persons who trespass upon the pri-
vate rights of way Of any steam or
electric railway.
These cases Of trespass are not only
source of expense and danger to the
railroad and its patrons, but It is felt
that common humanity should prompt
the most thorough measures to elimi-
nate this evil as rapidly as possible.
If these men frequent the company's
tracks and yards they are certain to be
killed or injured no matter how care
full the trainmen may be. Yet tres
passers have, no business whatever
upon the right Of way Of railroad.
The extent of the trespassiDg abuse
is to be found not only in the figure
showing the number Of persons killed
or injured while trespassing, but also
in the fact that during the year 1908,
according TO the figures Just compiled,
1883 persons were arrested for tres
passing, 442 for vagrancy and 1O,45I
for illegal train riding on the lines of
the Pennsylvania system. During the
year 1907 the arrests for these causes
numbered 5,5SS.
The management of the Pennsylva-
mia hopes that the bringing to public
attention of the above unfortunate con-
ditions may serve TO enlist still further
support for the railroad commissions
and the railroad companies, which are
seeking to bring this evil to an end.
In England, where there Is a much
greater umount of unemployment than
in this country and where the density
OF population is much greater, railroad
trespasslng is almost nonexistent, and
that is brought about by the stringent
laws which are enforced to prevent 1t.
