SCOUTS TO GIVE
DEMONSTRATIONS
LOCAL BOY SCOUTS ARE IN
CAMP AT FAIR GROUNDS AND
WILL GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
EACH AFTERNOON AND EVEN
INc-RIcHTER STILL HERE.

This afternoon at 500 o'clock a
demonstration of first aid to the in
jured and making FIRE by friction will
be given at the boy scout headquar-
tiers on the fair grounds. The scouts
secured q concession yesterday and
last evening pitched a tent south OF
the Merchants pavilion and made
preparations to camp there all week.
Mr.. Richter who is still in the city,
helped the boys get settled at the fair
grounds and offered many very help
full suggestions in regard to laying out
the camp and putting on the demon
STATIONS. This afternoon one OF the
boys viii cut his foot accidentally on
purpose and the manner OF attend
ing the injured person. stopping the
fiow Of blood and putting on the
bandaEes and carrying him win be
shown.
Following this a demonstration OF
producing FIRE by friction will be put
on by the scouts at their headquar-
tiers. The scouts will also do some
cooking In the open. In the evening at
s o'clock like demonstrations viii be
given. This camp at the fair grounds
is a big boost for the scout movement
in the city, as the boys are taking so
much interest in the affair.
A test for the tenderfoot members
will be given tomorrow afternoon and
on Friday afternoon a test for the SEQ
ond class scouts will be held. If there
are any who can qualify for the first
class scouts, tests for them are to be
given. Mr.. Harrison. who has charge
of the scouts at the fair. expects to
have six scouts with him at the camp
all the time and It is hoped that visi-
tors will take time to visit the scout
headquarters and see what the boys
can do.

One Of the chief features Of the aft

by the boy scouts under the excellent
direction of Dan e. Richter Of Min

scout editor OF The Minneapolis Tri-
bune. Mr.. Richter is member OF the
Minnesota bar and has practiced In
this state. having tried cases before
Judge Pollock within the past year.
He is quite interested in the boy
scout movement and Is doing q great
deal to further the interests Of the
scouts in the northwest. During the
last week he has talked here before
the local scouts and was prevailed
upon to stay over here to give these
demonstrations for the benefit OF the
public at the fair.
The demonstrations today will con-

clay is then dumped on the surface
and spread to depth of from six to
eight inches at the center, and grad
ually decreasing in depth toward the
sides. A layer Of clean sand is then
added, which is thoroughly mixed with
the clay, either by traffic or preferably
by means Of plows and disk or tooth
harrows.
The sand-clay road, after compile
ton, should be carefully maintained
until the surface becomes firm and
smooth. The construction of this type
Of road is by no means quick oper-
alton.
There are so many kinds OF gravel
that it is almost impossible to lay
down principles Of construction which
will hold good in all cases.
The following are the principal
causes of failure in gravel roads:
First, poor material; round water
worn gravel too little binder or too
much sand, earth or clay.
Second, unstable foundations; plac-
ing gravel on surfaces filled with ruts
and holes.
Third, poor drainage; too fat, or
too high In the middle, side bitches

Because of it's simplicity. its eff

is an excellent device for maintaining
earth and gravel roads.
The best results have been obtained
by dragging once each way after each
heavy rain. In some cases, however,
one dragging every three or four
weeks had been found sufficient to
keep a road in good condition. The

avoided by locating the road around
instead of over the hill, without ma
terially increasing the distance.
The earth road should have at least
six hours OF sunshine each day. Such
brush and trees as impede the drying
action of the sun and wind should be
removed. With gravel and stone roads
this Is not necessary, as certain
amount OF moisture is needed on such
roads. especially during the summer.
Relocating roads is not an engineer
ing problem alone. One must also
consider the effect Of the road on
those who now live upon it. Many dis
like to have the road placed back of
their houses, or out Of sight Of 1t. II
requires tact and good judgment to
secure a suitable location without
arousing harsh antagonism.
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a reversible road
grader. Picks, shovels, scoops and
plows should not be used for this pur-
pose. One road machine, with suit
able power and operator, will do the
work OF many men with picks and
shovels, and do it better.
In order to dispose Of storm water
quickly. before it has time to pene-
trate deeply into the surface, the road
should be properly crowned. For an
earth road which is "a feet wide, the
center should be not less than six

laid so fiat that they are soon filed

Fourth, spreading gravel in dry
weather, dumping it in piles and leav-

Fifth, making the road too narrow
to accommodate the traffic, or so mar
raw that wagon; will track and soon
cut the surface into ruts. Sixth, fail
ure to keep ruts and holes filled with
gravel.
With good binding or cementing
gravel, satisfactory roads may be
made by surfacing the prepared sub
grade with one or two layers of this
material. The earth foundation is first
shaped with road grader, and II
possible, rolled with an eight or ten.
ton roller.
The earth foundation should be
crowned but slightly. The material
is spread In one, two or three layers
to total depth Of from eight to
twelve inches in the center. and from
four to six inches at the sides, gradual,
ly diminishing In depth to feather

the maximum load that a team can
draw is the load that it can draw up
the steepest hin or through the deep
est mud hole on that road.
Wherever possible, roads should be
located on straight lines. In a hilly
or mountainous country, however,
straightness often causes heavy
grades. Straightness and grade must,
therefore, be handled together. The
best location is one which is straight
in general directions, is free from
steep grades, is over solid ground, and
serves the largest possible number of
people.
In studying the relations OF grade
to distance, the following principle
should be borne in mind: To life
a ton one foot high requires 1000
foot-pounds Of energy; on a road, the
surface Of which offers 100 pounds Of
tractive resistance per ton, the same
energy would roll the ton horizontal
distance OF 20 feet. To save one foot
of grade the road may therefore be
heightened 20 feet.
The elimination of one or two steep
hills on a line of road will frequently
enable horses to draw three or four
times as much as they could draw on
the old road. 1t takes approximately
four tines~ as much power to draw
loads up ten per cent. grades as on a
