A SUBSTANTIAL
ROAD OF DIRT
Illinois Commission Builds One
Without Use Of Stone.

DGisC itEuGEtSE Hi HUI LHO
The Severe Wear Caused by Automo-
biles Has Made 1t Necessary to Find
Something Stronger Than the Mac
adam Road-Experiments With Mix
turs of Dirt and Oil Show Results.
Macadam roads have been the worlds
standard for many years. but under
conditions of modern traffic they have
80 quickly worn away that In the
country which boosted the enduring
military roads of Napoleon a con-
gress of the road engineers of the
world was called to discuss means Of
preventing them from going up In
smoke or dust. The iron tire Of the
horse drawn vehicle rolled and COM
pacted the limestone road. The pneu-
matte tire of the motorcar sucks UP
the dust and draws it into the air to
blow away. 1t was formerly compac-
ton by traffic; now 1t is suction.
This fact has been strikingly DEM
onstrated by the work Of the state
highway commission of Illinois. One
of the best miles Of macadam road
ever constructed. and surface bound
with a gravel of peculiar cementing
quality. has been ripped up and blown
away down to the large. sharp pointed
rocks that constitute the basic course.
Other experiments with oil and tar
have proved the binding and protect
ing properties Of those substances.
Value of Oil.
The value of oil of heavy asphalt
base-the residuum after refining out
the volatile oils-as a binder for rock
roads led to experiments with it in the
construction of dirt roads without the
use of stone. The idea was to com
pact and bind the dirt so that ii would
be waterproof and as wearproof as
possible-in other words, to bind the
particles of dirt together so that trac
ton would produce little dust. One
of the most striking experiments with
oiled black mud was made 1T Bement
in Piatt county. and herewith we re-
turn to our illustrations. The Remen,
section ranks among the richest il
entral Illinois. 1t is rich because ii
ia fairly bottomless. 1t was low lynn

The method of construction was sim
pie. The road was plowed six inches
deep and the dirt scraped to each side
In the bed thus made layer of oil
was sprinkled, the oil in tbs expert
nent being what is usually called sc
to So per cent asphalt oil. After the
oil was applied two inches of dirt were
scraped back into the roadway and oil
and soil were thoroughly dsked to-

A FOREST RANGER HERO.
Tragic incident of the Forest Fires Of
1910 In Idaho

Tragic Incident of the Forest Fires Of
1910 In Idaho.
Overton w. Price. vice president Of
the National Conservation association,
in his book The Land We Live In"
tells this story of heroic forest
! ranger:
THE summer of 1910 by reason Of
great drought and unusually high
winds was the worst for Forest fires
that tbe west has ever known. In
Montana. Idaho aud Oregon the dan
ger was greatest.
''On the Coeur d Aiene national for
est. in northern Idaho. Ranger Pulaski
had under him forty men. who after
many hours of hard work had got Il
big fire practically Under control. Sud
denly the wind strengthened until it
blew a gale IL immediately became a
question of saving the lives of the
men The fire fish, 2rs were in deep
forest many miles from a railroad and
far from any clearing.
Pulaski remembered that within a
mile Of where they were working there
was an abandoned mine shaft running
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He rushed his men to the shaft as
quickly as possible and told them as
they passed through their camp to
catch up their blankets as they ran.
The shaft reached, Pulaski hurried his
men into it and. packed like sardines.
they filed it up. Pulaski placed him
self at the opening. across which he
stretched a blanket.
within a few minutes after the
men we're in the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught.
and Pulaski jerked it away and hung
up another. which caught in its turn.
The blanket caught again and again.
aud each time Pulaski replaced it I'M
til toward the last he held the blanket
across the opening with his bare
hands.
THE shaft grew hotter and hotter.
and the smoke and fumes grew thick
or and thicker until the mems suffer
ings were almost beyond human en-
durance They began t0 break for the
opening. Pulaski. whose strength was
great. like his. courage, for awhile
forced them back. Seeing that he
would soon be overpowered and that
his men would rush to their certain
death, he drew his revolver and said
that he would kill the first man who
broke away.
In perhaps twenty minutes the
worst of the fire passed by Five of
the men in the snaf: we're dead from
suffocation; the thirtyfive others were
alive. Pulaski was blinded and seri-
ously burned upon the face and arms.
It was three months before his sight
wss partly restored. Had not his hero
ism and presence Of mind been what
they were he would have lost all Of
his men instead Of five. That Is the
kind Of men there are in the forest
service. "%s - n

LEMON RATE CASE IS
ORDERED TO Be RETIRED

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission is TO
retry the lemon rate case of South
ern California Immediately. 1t has no
titled the officials of the Southern Pa
cifc, Santa Fe and San Pedro. Los
Angeles and Salt Lake roads and the
lemon growers of the south.
Representative of the growers and
G. W. Luce of the Southern Pacific,
Edward Chambers of the Santa Fe
and other railroad men and attorneys
are row on the way to Washington.
The case affects about $4,000 car
loads cf lemon shipments annually
valued at $7.5oO,00O
Recently the Commerce Court per
manently enjoined the commission
from enforcing its ruling reducing, the
rate from S115 10 ST. The court held
that the commission erred in reducing
the rate on'the' ground that the South
ern California growers had to meet
European competition in Eastern cit
les of this country The court was OF
opinion that such competition had
TO do With import business and the
tariff and that the commission only
jurisdiction was over the reasonable
ness of the rate itself. regardless of
the tariff on lemons and imports Of
the latter.
On a retrial therefore, the commits
sion is to consider solely the reason

commercial CLUB WAS
Scene Of ROBBERY
THIEVES ENTERED CLUB ROOMS
AND SECURED SMALL SUM
OF MONEY
No Trace Of Manner in Which they
Entered the Building or How They
Got Away.

The commercial club members are
a loss to explain how robbers en-
tered the club rooms and got away
again without leaving any traces Of
their entrance or exit. The club was
robbed Monday night, and the thieves
were evidently we'll acquainted with
the premises. They left no trace as
to how they got in and there are sesv-
eral differences. They may have
crawled in through one of the win
dows, or they may have entered while
the club was still open and secreted
themselves in some dark corner or
closet and hid until all was quiet and
then made their getaway. All that
was taken was the money in the cigar
case. This has been kept in a cigar
box in the case which was not locked
The robbers stole this money which
amounted to about $40 in cash and
currency and also about $50 worth of
checks. They left about 81 worth
of nickels in the box. None of the
cigars were taken, the police have
been working on the case for several
days and hope to locate the offenders
soon.
