BAD ROAD THAT GRAVEL WOULD IMPROVE
supervisor came along who put in a
few hundred feet of tile and crowned
the road surface. and there has been
no mudhole there since
The form which should be given to
an earth roadbed and the methods of
drainage to be used depend in each in
stance upon the local conditions sur
rounding the road. The ability of earth
to sustain load depends in a large
measure upon the amount of water
contained by it, Most earth forms a
good foundation so long as it is kept
dry, but when wet it loses its sustain
ing power, becoming wet and incOher-
ent When softened 10y water soil is
easily displaced by. the settling of the
road or forced upward into any space
that may exist in it, In order. there
fore, that the loads may be uniformly
sustained and the surface of the road
kept firm and even it is of first impOr-
tance that the roadbed be kept dry
The improvement and maintenance OF
a road are therefore largely questions
Of drainage the objects being to pre-
vent water from reaching the road and
to provide means for Immediately re-
moving such as does reach it before
the soil becomes saturated and sof-
tened.
Surface drainage is always necessary
if the body Of the road is to be kept
in a dry condition and is accomplished
by having the surface Of such form
that water falling upon it will quickly
run into the cutters. Underdrains will
not drain water from the surface Of
road, and unless the crown is at all
times maintained and the surface kept
smooth water is likely to stand upon
the surface and penetrate into the road |
And this is just as true Of a gravel or
stone road as of the earth surface.
At the side of the road longitudinal |
bitches must be provided for the pur- |
pose of carrying the water drained |
from the surface of the road to some |
point where it may be turned into a
natural drainage channel. In many in
stances these side bitches also carry.
drainage from land adjacent to the
road. The size and form Of the gut
tiers viii naturally depend upon the
quantity Of water to be carried and
the slope Of the cutters. Where the
quantity Of water to be carried is
small the extension Of the slope of the
road surface may be sufficient without
any special gutter being provided.
In forming a roadbed upon which to
place a gravel or macadam surface the
earth roadbed should be made as firm
and smooth as possible before the
placing Of the surfacing material.
possible the earth after be-
Ing brought to grade and given the
proper form for receiving the surface
should be rolled with heavy roller
until 1t is firmly packed and able to
vield efficient support to the surface.
N any case the surface should not be
Dlaced until the roadbed is thoroughly
ettled and packed in place.

GOOD SAND FOR ROADS.
Value Of Waste Product From Cali
fornia Oil Wells.


fornia Oil Wells.
Two hundred tons Of rich black oil
sand from the Sunset wells at Visalia,
Cal, will be used on some Of the roads
Of Tulare county, in California, this
summer. Superintendent Twaddle.
chairman Of the county governing
board, has been experimenting and
found it satisfactory. The sand comes
from the wells mixed with the oil
When this flows into the sump hole
the sand sinks to the bottom and sep
arates itself, the oil running off. Grad
ually the sand piles up around the
derricks and at the mouth Of the pipe
and fills a large part OF the sump.
There are piles forty feet deep on the
Adeline, Maricopa road, Oil and Gate
City properties, which have accumu-
lated in the course of four or five
years. The sand coming with this
heavy oil is different from that found
with the light oils, even that with the
Kern river product.
Those who have tried 1t say It is su-
perior for roads to any common sand
that may be mixed with oil. It has a
binding quality that is lacking in arti-
fetal products. Before its adoption in
Tulare county it was used quite a lit
tie on highways in the immediate vi
cinity Of the oil fields, It being given
to whoever would load and haul
It away, a wide use Of this byprod-
net by roadmakers will be a boom to
the heavy oil producers Of Sunset by
Kidding them Of a nuisance and trans
forming it into a source Of revenue.

TO CONTEST HETTY
GREEN'S MILLIONS
BEGIN BATTLE
FOR MILLIONS BEFORE RICH
EST WOMAN is DEAD-CLAIM
SHE PURLOINED IT'S START.

New Bedford, Mass, May ga
battle to take Hetty Green's millions
away from her is to be commenced
here by contestants, who base their
claims upon the original will of Sylvia
Ann Rowland, whose trust bequest is
alleged to be the foundation of Het-
tvs enormous fortune.
The fight will extend clear across
the continent. Among the contest
ants are Mrs. William Finnell, Mrs.
William Leacock and Mrs. Fred c.
Button of Oakland, lineal descend
ants of Sylvia Ann Rowland.
Williamson Finnell, who will fl
nance the litigation, is wealthy
land owner of California. He says
the contest will overshadow all
other will contests.
Sylvia Rowland died in New Bed
ford in 1865. The contestants claim
her will left half of her estate of
$2,500,000 to charity and that the
income from the remaining half
should belong to Hetty, with pro-
vision that the property go to the
heirs of a grandfather, Gideon How
land, upon her death.
After the death of Sylvia Ann
Rowland, however, Hetty produced
another will, now declared by the
contestants to be worthless, which
Internationally bequeathed to her
the whole estate.
The suit is based on the validity
of this will. If the suit is successful
the court will be compelled to deter
mine what part of the Green fortune
has grown out of the Rowland for
tune
Finnell stated that claim will be
entered for every cent accruing
from the principal, which the con-
testants believe is rightly theirs.
AS the suit is threatened before
the death of Hetty Green, it is unique
in the history of contested wills.
