HOW TO HELP.

Drivers Are Given Cards of instruc-
ton.
The North Carolina Good Roads as
sociation is distributing throughout the
state cards which read as follows:
How to Keep This Road For Years
This road was constructed for your
use.
Don't drive in one track. Avoid
making ruts.
IF all use one place all the wear will
be in one place and make a rut.
IF you use little care and do not
drive exactly where the last wagon
did the wear will be distributed. which
will keep the surface smooth and the
road will remaip good for years: 9TH
erwise it will soon be rutted and the
smooth surface gone"
It is believed that II those who use
the road will give little attention to
where they drive. so as not to drive di-
rectly in the same track as the team
ahead Of them has done. it will pre-
vent the roads from becoming filed
with ruts and will have a general tend
ency to pack the greater portion Of
the road.

OLD WISCONSIN MAN
| GIVES UP LONG FIGHT
Six Years of Warfare Is Ended
When John Dietz Displays
White Flag.

st. Paul-Old John DietZ, the fam
Gus defender of Cameron Dam, has
been beaten at last, after desperate
rifle battle with the deputy sheriffs
at his cabin on the Thornapple river
in Sawyer County, Wisconsin,, that
lasted nearly all day.
Deitz surrendered and brought tc an
end the stubborn resistance of the
man whose stand for the last six
years against what he considered an
injustice, has attracted widespread in
terest. The surrender did not come
without death and bloodshed. One
man is dead, four men and woman
are wounded and much property has
been destroyed.
The surrender of Dietz was dra-
matte. The alert lumbermen leaning
on their rifles at the edge of the clear
ing and gazing intently at the windows
of the log cabin, suddenly saw the
flutter of a white handkerchief at the
door. Then little Helen appeared and
advancing with the cloth over her
head, walked to the edge of the clear
ing, where she announced that her
father was willing to surrender.
Dietz was wounded while firing
from the barn during the afternoon.
when a bullet went through a crack
and passed through his left hand.

spoke as follows on the surfacins of

"The question of surfacing material
for road is one that is causing road
builders considerable trouble, for with
the introduction of the automobile, the
wear and tear on our public roads,
especially of the surfaced roads, is
very materially increased. 1t is not
due to the automobile alone. but to a
combination of the cutting action Of
the narrow iron tires of heavy wagons
and the suction of the rubber tires of
the automobiles. The iron tire has
cutting and grinding action which re-
duces the surface of the road to a
powder and loosens up small frag-
ments. which are readily lifted up
and thrown to one side by the suction
power Of the rubber tire Of the auto
mobile. The iron tire alone or the au.
tomobile alone would not do such great
damage. for the material ground up by
the iron tire acts as protection for
the surface Of the road beneath it and
remains as such protection until blown

FOREST FIRES BURN
MINNESOTA TOWNS

Winnipeg-Scores of lives have been
lost in a great forest fire which ragged
along the Canadian border in the
Rainy River country and in Northern
Minnesota. The towns of Beaudette,
Spooner. Gracetown and Pitt, Mimi,
have been wiped out and refnsNSs
from the burning district who fled
into Rany River report seeing many
charred corpses along the roadside in
the burned district and the loss of
millions of dollars worth of property.
The fire was entirely unexpected. In
the last summer there were many
great fires in this same region, but the
fighters had about subdued them
when out of the northwest of the
Rainy River country there appeared q
great fire which swept through the
dried timber, carried in it's onward
rush by a heavy gale, and, soon be-
yond control, it caught the unwarned
settlers in its path of death and de-
struction.
Estimates of the loss of life place
the number between 1000 and 1000.
More than 1000 persons are missing,
5000 are homeless and all these are
destitute.
Stories of wild animals, fleeing for
safety side bysside with human be-
ings, of mothers burned to death
with babies on their breasts, and of
men cremated while endeavoring to
shield their children, were among the
tales Of horror brought in by refu-
gees.

tion Of the macadam road. but he
must also know when it is possible to
use a thinner layer of stone. thus re-
ducing the cost Of construction. He
also must be so familiar with this type
of road that he will not make a mis-
take of using too thin a coating of
macadam. According to the character
of the subsoil and the hardness of the
roadbed. the thickness of the macada m
will vary from four inches to ten
inches. The cost Of four inch mac
adam is so much less than ten inch
that an engineer will wish to use it
as often as possible. and there is often
tendency to use the thin coating
where the thicker one would give bet
ter results.
THE character of rocks suitable for
use in the construction of a macadam
road must also be known to the road
engineer for the reason that many
rocks are not at all adapted for this
purpose on account of their softness
and lack of minerals that make a good
binding surface. The best rocks for
this purpose are trap. diabase and gab-
bro. These rocks are all basic in
character and when used as a top
dressing for macadam give the very
best binding qualities. Many other
rocks. as granite. gneiss, quartzite,
limestone. etc.. have to be used on ac-
count of the inaccessibility of rocks
of the other type. There is a great

ROAD WORK IN TEXAS.

Wide Are Built.
The method of constructing roads in
Ellis county. Tex. was described at a
recent road convention in that state by
County Judge Spencer. He stated that
during the preceding year eighty miles
Of roads had been completed in the
county. the rate of construction having
been between eight and ten miles per
month. The commissioners court has
full charge of the work, the commits
sioners acting as superintendents. but
receiving instructions from the court.
Four camps were maintained. each
camp consisting of grading, gravel.
a concrete and a rock and labor crew.
Two convict crews were hired at $1.25
per work day per man for loading
wagons. Foremen receive $75 month.
assistants $45 month and concrete
foremen So per day. Labor is paid
$1.5O per day, teams for scrapers So
per day and the same for those haul
ing one yard loads Of gravel. with $3.50
per day for those hauling loads of one
and one-quarter yards each. One man
is employed to do nothing but locate
and test gravel. The equipment. such
as scrapers. water wagons. wheelbar-
rows, picks. drills, shovels, tool boxes,
tents. etc.. costs about $1,000.
A roadway of at least forty feet is
aimed at. The roads are built almost
entirely of pit gravel. which is bought
by the acre at an average cost of about
cents per load. The first twenty
miles of road cost an average per mile
as follows:
Gravel rock and pit work .......... 1915
Labor and salaries ................... 367.48
Gravel and rock hauling ........... 1885,
Dynamite and powder ............... 1909
Engineering ......................... .5S
Concrete construction ............... 1925
Miscellaneous Observation-Disclosures. 1888
The average width Of gravel was six
teen feet and the average depth four
inches at the. edges and Twelve to
twelve and two-thirds at the crown.
The average number of heads of graveb
