SANDY CLAY ROADS

The road builders and those who
have studied road construction are
rapidly coming around to the APP
probation OF the sand-clay road as
d permanent form OF road con-
structng material. The old and
very expensive system OF macadam
is certainly losing in favor, as it is
proving that the sand-clay is an
exec lent substitute and immeas-
ureably cheaper. In fact, it is the
cheapest kind OF roads, the cost
o. an average not exceeding $3.50
a lnne, while the average cost OF
mace dam road is about 20 times as
much.
Gle eand county has recently
made some extensive experiments
win the making OF sand-clay
roads. The Hickory Democrat
says OF the work in this county:
contractor Eddleman, who is
working a chain-gang force OF
about 20 men, builds his roads this
way: He grades the road or Is
feet wide and uses a crown 70 feet
wide. He does not mix the sand
and clay, but puts on a top soil on
the level grade, about ~ feet slop-
ing slightly to either side. This
top soil he gets out OF the ada
cent fields. MIR. Robinson brought
some of it with him. 1t was a grit
ty, ye,lowish soil with a good deal
Il sand in it.
"Alr. Eddleman does not pack
this down with steam rollers but
uses wheel scrape and smoothes
it out. If it should go into a hole
he would go over again and scrape
again.
He does not use an expensive
Stoclade FIR his convicts, but sim
DIv a shack Is by so. Each man
IS chained to a long iron rod at
night. He feeds and clothes his
Tc1 well, and works them for all
dat S il them. The Changing,

oterilng Furniture company, of which
Charles Hayes and E. V. Dalton are
the active partners, will be ready to
take possession of it's new quarters in
the Crider building, on the corner of
MIL and Jefferson streets, which the
carpenters, decorators and finishers
are completing as fast as possible.
with the additional space of the new
building added to what they now have,
the firm will occupy one of the larg-
est furniture stores in the valley, the
total floor space of which will amount
to nearly $4,000 square feet.
The large display room provided in
the new building is unique in that it
has practically unbroken plate glass
window frontage of about by 40
feet, an advantage that is seldom
found in the larger stores of the cities
New plate glass windows have been
installed in the old building, and with
the upper range of prism windows the
company will have a ground floor dis
play area of $3.50 square feet, excep-
tionally we'll lighted throughout.
Several new departments will be
added, among them being one devoted
to trunks, suit cases and similar arti-
cles.
Aside from the display space men
toned, about 500 square feet will be
used for the baby carriage department.
Another of 500 feet will be occupied
by linoleums and kitchen goods. over
1900 feet are taken up by the CALLER
les, and in the rear a storeroom of
1900 square feet is made use of.
A building with floor space of 500
feet is required for the shop, which
is equipped with a complete set of
wood working tools, including lathe,
band saw, pony re-saw, power for
which is provided by a three and a
half horsepower electric motor. In
the mattress factory a power wool
picker is operated.

CITY WATER SUPPLY SAFE
w. v. Fuller Investigates Reported
Danger From Forest Fire.

That there was no occasion for the
alarm caused by the report that for
est fires were threatening the water
supply of this city, was shown when,
in order to ascertain the truth of the
rumor, w. V. Fuller went up the La
Creole Friday to the big dam, which
is about ten miles above here, and
found that the fires were not within six
miles Of the source of the city's water,
and from where he could see 1t, he
thought that there was no danger Of II
working down to the dam. The fire
was in the logged-off lands on the up
per LaCreole, north of Black Rock
Since the rains, the fires have been
rendered practically harmless.
This city is supplied with the purest
of water, piped direct from the noun
tains. and after having enjoyed 1t for
so long Dallas people would be 10th
to have to accept a substitute. because
there is none Just as good"

POLK COUNTY SCHOOL YEAR BE-
GINS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.
Professor III. III. Parsons to Assume
New Duties of Supervisor
Next Week.

The coming year in the public
schools of Polk county will be one of
activity and progress. The new fea-
lures provided for by the last legisla-
ture will be put in effect, and several
changes in the course of instruction
have been prescribed by the state SUI
perintendent. School supervisors have
been provided for each county, and 1t
is expected that a closer system of in
spection and greater uniformity of in
struction may thereby be maintained.
In Polk county the Office of supervisor
will be established September is, and
on that date Professor H. II. Parsons,
the new appointee to that position,
will assume his duties.
In Polk county there are 50 dis
tricts, requiring 1870 teachers. All of
the positions for the coming year have
been filled, condition Of affairs that
is unusual at this time of the year.

find the school houses in good shape to
meet the new sanitary requirements Of
the state board of health. Nearly all
with the regulation earthenware hy-
with the regulation earthenware hy-
genie water receptacies, and the re-
mainder will be rapidly supplied. Polk
county is far in advance of any other
portion of the state in these respects,
for the school authorities have been
preparing for it during the past two
years, so that when the bell rings on
the opening day the poor eXiled germ
will not have where to lay his head.
New Buildings.
The building spirit has been rife du--
ing vacation, and over $4,000 will
have been spent for that purpose by
the fall opening of school. An addi-
ton costing $1400 has been placed on
the Perrydale school building, and at
Buena Vista a 5000 annex has been
built. The following new school
houses have been built since last
spring, the expenditures in each case
being shown:
Guthrie, $1,000.
Lincoln, $1,000.
Oak Point, $1,000.
Butler, s120O.
Plans are now drawn and work will
be started soon on two new buildings.
One will be at Cherry Grove and the
other in the new and unnamed dis
trict, No. 6S, in both of which a $1,000
structure will be put up.

There is now comparatively little real
competition between the Southern and
Northern mills, on account of the differ
ence in the class of goods produced. In
the South they are mostly of quality
adapted to local markets of that section
and places IN the West easily reached
by rail.
These consultations have proceeded
from combination of the leading stock
holders of the old companies, with a
view to mutual advantage There is no
promoting or exploiting for incidental
profit in effecting the merger. There
can be no monopoly effect of advancing
prices or enhancing profits unduly
There is no escape in that industry, even
with the help of the tariff, from domcs-
tic competition, because manufacturing
establishments are widely distributed
from Maine to Georgia, and the mar
kets are spread over the whole country.
