no NILES NEW ROADS
That Number Has Been Accepted by
Ely Since July |, Last.

State Highway Commissioner Ely
saws that since July the state has ac-
cepted about 100 miles of state reward
road and there are applications on
file for nearly rs miles more.
''We are making special effort to
keep in touch with the people regard
ing the lettering of the highways. and
we find that more interest is being
displayed than ever BEFORE adds Mr..
Elv.
He also says that out of the SO
counties 30 are working for the state
reward In the construction of roads.
Eight of this number are upper
peninsula counties, and many of the
northern counties of the lower penin-
sula are also after the reward.
1t is noticed that some of the south
ern counties of the state have as yet
made no such move, and in some
counties little progress has been made.
Sixty per cent of the roads alreadv
built and under construction are of
stone or macadam. the balance are of
gravel.
AS is known. for stone or macadam
road the state paws reward of 81, 900
Der mile, and $500 for gravel roads
many of the roads that have been
constructed are wider and better than
required by the state. which shows
the interests taken by some town.
ships.
The department has several inspec-
tors on the road and inspections are
made of the roads. both while under
construction and after completion.
About 60 per cent of the highway

state INSPECTORS. 1t is said, aids greatly
in the work of building the roads.
The estimated cost. states Commits
sioner Elv, for a gavel road is from
$500 to $1,000 per mile. and for stone
or macadam 81, 900 to 81. 600 per mile.
according to the conditions existing.
The department has a report from
Munisiug. where two miles of ma
cadam road have heen completed at a
cost of SIS. s.OO4 I5. Part of this road,
according to the report, was through
an old cedar slsshing and swamp.
where the muck was from three to
five feet deep.
A large portion of the, stone used in
the state in the construction of high
wavs Is limestone, which is said to
make a fine road.
In Millington township. four
miles of grave, roads Is under con-
struction. Screened gravel is be-
ing used. and in fhe opinion of
Commissioner Ely the screened gravel
makes far better road than when

Erie Road Makes Test Of Device
Which HaltS Cars In Space
Of Sixty Feet
0PERAT 0RS IN ZONE
Further Experiment VIII Start Engines Toward
Each Other in Expectation Of
Their Being Stopped

A Newark. n. j.. dispatch in
the Boston Monitor of Nov. 3. said !;
The Erie railroad has tested a wireless
telephone which it is believed will
not only make telephonic communica
tion with distant points possible for
train passengers but will act also as an
automactic brake for trains which are
entering upon danger zone covering
two miles ahead. The telepone Is the
invention of Fred Lacroix, young
electrical engineer of San Antonio, Tex.
and In operated by third rail. This
rail NAV be touched.
The test was made on train moving
between Newark and South Paterson
at an average speed of about 80 miles
An hour.
The contrivance is much like an or
binary telephone 1t is operated bv
the engineer and is suspended in the
locomotive cab. 1t records on clock
arrangement each stop of the train,
and when there is trouble on the
road within two miles in advance of
the train the device automatically sets
the air brakes. the degree of their
application being determined by the
engineer, who NAV set the macine to
apply the brakes Immediately or by
degrees
The test train was run close TO a
local and when it reached the danger
zone the air was automatically cut off
and the train brought to a standstill
within 60 feet. despite the fact that
the engineer was holding the valve
open. The train was moving at about
25 miles an hour and there was no
jar In the stopping
A public test will be held on Novem-
ber 10 in about the same vicinity and
two engines will run from opposite
directions at full speed. Mr.. Lacroix
says he is confident his device will
top both engines and prevent a
collision.
Telephone communication was estab-
lished and it was said that voices
were carried plainly.
