INsrALLMENT THREE.

The Minneapolis Gaze.
Minneapolis has had q remarkable
and pleasant experience with creosot-
ed wood paving. In 1902 the city de-
termined upon an experiment with
wood block and paved Tenth street
with the material. The erect upon
the people was wonderful and today
practically no other material IL used
In the city. BY the end OF the year
1911 the total creosoted pavement In
Minneapolis will exceed 100000 square
yards, the equivalent Of street tEir-
ty feet wide and fifty miles long. A
poll OF several hundred Minneapolis
business men showed them to be
unanimously in favor OF this form Of
pavement
There is a reason for the remark
able durability OF creosoted wood paw
ing well worthy of consideration.
The secret lies in the fact that wood
possesses more units OF required
strength for paving material than
any other substance. Blocks which
have been subjected to heavy traffic
for eight or ten years have been taken
up and measured. and I'M no instance
has the combined wear and compress
sion been found to exceed one eighth,
OF an inch. and frequently not more
than one -tenth Of an inch.

LABOR BRINGS FAME
Hard Work Rather Than Wonderful
Ability Brings Success and
Greatness, Says Kinssford,

In brief address before the stu
dents OF Fargo college yesterday, Pro-
lessor Kingsford OF the Moorhead Nor
NAL declared that hard work rather
than any special gift of nature brought
success and greatness and he gave ex-
amples, citing Lincoln, Edison, Henry
Irving and others.
Respiration rather than inspiration
is the cause OF success, the speaker
contended. and declared that indie
fatigable labor was the sure road
to success and fame. rather than any
great natural ability which might not
be used to the extent that the man
OF lesser ability does his efforts In
helping the world along by his untir-
ing work.
President Creegan, who has Just re-
turned from his New York trip, fol-
lowed the speaker of the occasion with
a few remarks on the subject, which
were quite apropos, and then told OF
the baseball games he witnessed be-
tween the New York and PHILADELPHIA
teams.

The size OF the blocks depends upon
the type OF street for which they are
intended. The common size Is q
Mock four inches deep. three and
three quarters inches wide, and from
five to ten inches long. These blocks
are suited for the heaviest traffic

cified ds three inches.
Amount Of Oil.
There has been much difference OF
opinion as TO the amount Of oil with
which the block should be impreg-
mated. The earlier pavements were
treated with from ten 10 twelve
pounds Of oil to the cubic foot OF tim

TO sixteen pounds and frequently
twenty pounds have been specified.

FINAL SESSION HELD.
Columbia Association of Baptist
Churches Concludes Business.

The annual meeting of the Columbia
Association of Baptist Churches, which
has been in session for several days past
in the Second Baptist Church. came to
close last evening with an address by
President Elmer B. Bryan of Collegiate
College, New York. AS the pastor of the
Second Church, Rev. Hinson V. Hewlett.
and a number of the other Baptist pas
tors of the city are members of the Col
gate alumni of this city, deep. interest
was manifested in the address of Mr..
Bryan.
What is it that Determines Values?"
was the subject of President Bryan's adj
dress, and during the course of his re-
marks he declared that a man whose edu-
cation never goes below his head is of
little value to the world and in solving
the great questions which the individual
finds here.
A decision was reached during the
meeting to aid the Baptist work in Con-
gress Heights and the sum of $1,000 was
appropriated, which, it is declared, will
go far toward materially advancing the
cause of the denomination in that section.
A decision was also reached to give the
work in Petworth 5000.
