put a dampener on the fan spirit to
see the first one get away-especial-
ly one that looked so easy.
Hibbing was to have played a Sec
ond game here on Memorial Day
but as Memorial Day comes on the
30th of May instead of the Goth, rain
spoiled all hope of "evening up"
There are other days and perhaps
other players coming, however, and
we shall live IN hopes of being per-
mitted to record different story-
even though we wait until the frost

the remaining portion of pavement,
after wearing for period of time
has inherent binding qualities,th
proving that the old portion is Of
value IN making repairs and that it
is not necessary to remove the old
pavement should it become neces-
sary to resurface, while to resurface
asphalt it is necessary to remove
top and binder. Some of Portland's
sleeper grades are paved with Btu
lithic.
"In Seattle the asphalt is in good
repair but in Portland and Spokane
there are Numerous cracks and de-
fects which naturally come to this
grade of pavement. Thi4 is due to
the fact that asphalt lhas approx
ma>ely 10 per cent of vo1ds which
fill up with water and hence affect
the asphaltic cement. The defects
soon enlarge and rapid d,sinte-
grafton of wearing surface follows.
Asphalt pavement is more adapted
to the hot than the cold climate.
"Hassam-This is a patented con-
crete pavement and is used in Port
land, Spokane and Occur d'Alene.
We found places on the light traffic
streets of Portland which were be-
ing repaired, due to defective &C.
ment having been used. On the
heavy traffic streets of Portland,
hassam is not used. A few years
ago Seattle had an unsatisfactory
experience with pavement, and now
it is not included in the speci6ca-
tions.
"Granitoid-This is also a patent
ed pavement, used to some extent
in Spokane, but as all concrete pave
ments have not been in use long
enough to prove their value, we feel
hesitant about recommending the
use of any concrete pavement"

In view of the fact that the matter
of paving is again under considera

council committee from North Yak.

Virg inians from the fact that a
number of former Virginians are

Bitulithic, and Contrac: has since
been awarded for that material.
| The council committee report was
as follows:
1--WE find that the pavement re-
quired for city streets should have
the following essential qualities:
Durability, noiselessness, cleanli.
ness, non-slipperiness, cheapness,
which must be figured by the rule,
the ultimate cost of a pavement is
! first cost plus maintenance
| with these conditions in view we
have investigated the following
| pavements, viz: brick, asphalt, Bit.
ulithic, hassam, granitoid and wood
block. Being quite familiar with
brick and asphalt, having laid
$4,000 square yards of asphalt and
71,2OO square yards of brick in our
own city, we devoted a major por-
tion of our time to the other mater
ials in use
"After spending three days in
looking over the pavements in Se-
attle aud Tacoma, which::a paved
with brick, asphalt, wood block and
stone block, we visited the city Of
Puyallup, where Bitulithic pave
ments are being laid exclusively.
Here about five miles of Bitulithic
pavements are laid, and the con.
tractors were in course of construct

gave Hibbing few feet the best of
the argument in their first score he
evened matters later in the game to
the satisfaction of the most exact
ing.
1t was simply the result of more
steady and concerted play on the
part of the Hibbingites; superior
team work due, peradventure, to the
fact that Hibbing has had practical
experience in the game this season,
while the majority of those wearing
the natty new Virginia uniforms
had never met until within the few
brief moments preceding the game.
The score OF to 2 is not enough
to break faith in the hope that the
