A MILE OF SAND
GUMBO ROAD.
State Highway Engineer is Look
ing a for Material to Take
the Place of Rock.


Columbia, Mo-, Sept.-A mile of
sand-gumbo road, the first in Mis-
souri,, has just been built in Mississip-
pi county. 1t is one mile long and
extends north of Charleston. The
road was built as an experiment by
Curtis Hill, state highway engineer.
Sand-clay roads have been in use
several years in the state of Missis-
sippi and other places where they
have proven successful. The road at
Charleston was a sand bottom in
which wagon wheels often went to
the hub. The first work was to clean
out the bitches so that it could be
perfectly drained, Then a trough l6
feet wide was made. Gumbo was
hauled and placed in this trough and
mixed with the sand.
The mixing was done by plows,
disc harrows and tooth harrows, A
sprinkler was used to get the gumbo
wet. All was mixed together and
then the road was rolled. In time
this mixture hardened so that it be-
came cemented together in such a
manner as to turn water.
81 am trying to build roads out OF
the materials at hand with the small
est expense possible" said Mr.. Hill
today. "There are six counties in
Southeast Missouri, known as the
lowlands, where there is no rock to
construct roads. They have plenty
of sand and gumbo. This is what we
have tried down at Charleston.
These roads are not expensive.
1t cost less than $1,000 to build the
mile down in Mississippi county,"
said Mr.. Hill. "The money was rails
ed by donations solicited by j. Rus
sell Ellis, the county highway engi-
neer. j, E. Warner, the engineer of
Scott comfy, saw the work done and
he is now raising money for road in
his county on the north. "
The county courts of only sixteen
counties in Missouri took advantage
of the law passed by the last legisla-
ture, and levied a special road tax of
twenty-five cents on the 500 valua-
ton, according to the state highway
engineer. These counties are Bollin-
ger, Cole, Cedar, Harrison, Howard,
Jasper, Mississippi, Monroe, Newton,
st. Clair, Saline, Schuyler, Stoddard,
Webster and Worth. Twenty-nine
other counties assessed a portion of
the levy.
Nine counties OF Missouri have
township organizations and the spe-
cial road tax creates a township in
stead of a county fund. They are
Bates, Carroll, Charlton, DeKalb,
Henry, Mercer, Nodaway, Sullivan
and Vernon.
The special road tax creates fund
under the control of the county court
1t is assessed against all the property
in the county, The general road tax
which may he 20 cents on the $l0(
valuation is assessed against property
not incorporate limits of towns anC
cities. This last fund is divided am
ong the road districts of the county.

Wealth in Missouri.

The peach harvest in the Ozarks is
half over and the crop in the Koch
konnong and St. Elmo districts of
South Missouri has turned out much
better both as to quality and quantity
than had been expected. The quality
was never better. During the past
week the choicest Elbertas sold as
high as g. per crate, or 81 200 per
car. Many towns in South Missouri
have shipped from three to 100 cars
direct to New York and Boston.
Thousands Of pickers and packers
have been at work in the South Mis-
souri, orchards at wages ranging from
81 to $3.50 per day. Many of the
orchards sold the products Of their
orchards on trees to commission men
from the East, realising all the way
from 5000 to $4,000. The large
orchards in Oregon county brought
their owners from $4,000 to $40, 600
this year. The products Of one

Livingston, Mont, Aug. 10, '09.
Mr.. P. j. Jewett,
Butler, Mo.
Dear Friend Jewett:
Twas QUITO the ranch for two
weeks and while there we set up the
road grader, Jewett, and proceeded
to make about 5-8 of a mile of road
and about Ia of a mile of ditch. viii
say that the grader worked like q
charm on both road and ditch and the
longer we worked with it the. better
pleased we became. 1t worked sc
nicely that I handled it myself and an
going to bring it to town some day
and show the city what you can de
with it on the streets. | believe it i:
going to be an unequaled success.
Yours truly,
