Road of Sand and sawdust.

A road made from sand and saw
dust is the latest style of roadmaking
designed by George W. Cooley, State
Highway Engineer. Last spring he
made section of road with clover
and rye on a sand foundation. This
has been very successful. The road
made from sand and sawdust is at
Cambridge, in Isanti County.
Four inches of sawdust was raked
on the sand road after being graded.
This was worked into the sand by
passing teams, and as fast as ruts
were formed the sawdust was raked
into the ruts. to be further mixed
with sand This is a new roadmak-
ing material, and If successful will
make an exceedingly profitable means
of using the immense quantities +
sawdust from the mills of the State.
In those counties where there is
nothing but sand in the roads good
roads are impossible without the ad-
dition of other material. Mr.. Cooley
is now experimenting with various
means of turning the sand into veg
etable loan which can be worked to
advantage. The idea is that the saw
dust will rot and mixing with the
sand will form loan suitable for
roads.
Such a small amount of money is
appropriated by the State for the con-
struction Of roads that the expert
ments have been on limited scale
and the construction Of roads pro-
ceeds slowly. This State spends only
one-tenth as much on State roads as
does New York in relation to the
value of the property.-St. Paul Pho

The moral of the tale is the old, old
one-as old as humanity itself-and
yet one that never grows old. since
in every generation there are those
who will not learn it-until too late.
The lesson Of it all is plain and clear
before us every day. But it needs
ever to be reiterated and enforced
upon the minds of the young, and to
be taken to heart by young and old
alike. It is better TO be decent. no
matter how pleasant it may seem to
tamper with indecency. The prim-

Queen Alexandra has issued a pub
lie statement to the effect that she
does not wear aigrets. and this, Of
course, is intended as a rebuke to a
cruel and horrible practice. The Off
cial statement means something more
even than that. 1t means that no
lady can venture into the Queens
presence with these feathers upon her
head, and Il means that the aigret is
stamped as questionable throughout
every rank in society. Royalty has
its undoubted disadvantages, but
something may be written also upon
the other side Of the slate. The
power to make cruelty Questionable
is one to be envied. and every country

coercive laws to back it.-Argonaut.

state kOa0e.
Public sentiment favors the ex-
tension Of State aid for good roads, in
fact, demands much larger appropria-
lions for the purpose.
In this connection il is we'll TO
recognize that method of construction
is quite as important as amount Of
total expenditure. The lesson taught
by New York emphasizes this fact.
In that State more than SIS, 100000
OF the public funds has been expended
during recent years In building mac
adamized roads, under supervision Of
the State Engineer. Some of those
roads, costing $4,000 q mile and up
ward, have been completely broken
down within four years. They need
to be resurfaced, in fact, virtually re-
constructed, at another cost Of $4,000
to $4,000 a mile.
1t must be apparent that even
wealthy States. like New York and
Pennsylvania, cannot afford the con-
struction and upkeep Of an extensive
system of roads on such scale. They
must have greater permanence, even
at the penalty of much larger initial
cost On this principle the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Highways has
decided to pave Greene County roads
with brick. They will probably be
cheaper in the end than plain mac
adam. In other sections it has been
found necessary to use oil or tar
binders to prevent rapid disintegra-
ton of macadam roads.
Some Of the Western States have
found properly oiled earth roads
much cheaper than macadam and
more durable than macadam without
binder, when kept in shape by Fos-
ter's split-log drag. In Pennsylvania
stone is more abundant and costs less
for transportation than in the prairie
country. But in urging the appro-
priation of State money for road
building it is well to recognize the
fact that plain macadam is not ef-
fcient or economical unless regula-
lions can be applied to prevent the
speeding of automobiles thereon

One County Solid for Taft.

Analysis of the returns of the re-
cent presidential election disclosed
that one county of the United States
--Iapata county Texas-cast its
vote unanimously for the Republican
presidential electors.
This was stated recently to Frank
lin X. Lane, one of the interstate
commerce commissioners, and he
took occasion to investigate the mat
ter. In substantiation of the state
ment he is in receipt of a certificate
Of w. r. Davies, secretary of state
of Texas, declaring that Zapata coun-
ty cast its 429 votes solidly for the
Taft and Sherman electors. The pop
ulation of the county is less than
5000.
Careful examination fails to dis
close a similar case in the history of
American political elections.
There is certainly hope for Texas.
Indeed, political light seems to be
breaking all through the south and
it is not too much to expect that
President Taft will carry several of
the states when he run for re-elec-
ton in 1912.
