BUILDING OF
Good ROADS
Suggestions For the Treatment
Of Rural Highways.
NO PATCHWORK WHATSOEVER
The Work to Be Done In Sections-A
Mile Should Be Carefully Finished In
Its Entirety - How the Roadway
Ought to Be Cared For

How good roads should be made and
how they should be cared for is tersely
described in the Iowa Homestead by
an enthusiast, who says:
in the first place, there should be no
patchwork roadmaking having for its
object only to make one particular spot
paSsable. Road work should be done
In sections. For instance, mile of
road should be taken and completed in
its entirety. Every inch of it should
be made a good and safe road. | ven
ture the assertion that not more than
one mile of road in every ten is safe
or free from some dangerous trap to
cause trouble to careless drivers or
those not given to close observation of
the roadways. They should be made
so that a child might safely drive over
them
Beginning, would establish Il rea-
SOnable grade so that no steep hills
remain when the work is finished.
would make over the entire width of
the road from fence to fence | would
make the actual roadway of usual
width, with only rise enough in the
center to shed rain. From the gutter
at the side of this roadway | would
make smooth and even grade to the
fence line. Then | would compel the
property owners along the road to keep
the roadside we'll set in grass and to
NOW and care for it just as they do
their meadows. No deep, unSightly
and dangerous gulies would be per
mitted, and the man who scrapcd
lot of grass, weeds. clods and trash
into the center of the road should at
once be condemned to penal servitude
for life. Capital punishment would be
too good for the one who secured his
pillow in the road.
The road worker who pIowed up
stretch of road late in the fall and
left 1t to mellow up until spring
should be banished to rOadcss Sibe-
ria. A plow has no place in any road
that has once been properly made
The care of road made according to
my plan would be only that of going
over it occasionally with a drag The
occasion for the use of the drag, how
ever, should be from the viewpoint of
the need of the road and not the con
venience of the operator of the drag
No man would be permitted to drive
drag over a road unless he were a
licensed graduate of roadmaling
school. A road drag is a dangerous
thing (for the road in the hands of a
man who does not have sense enough
to use it.
| would build a complete and effec-
tive drainage system to take care of
the water that finds its way to the
road-not a guesswork one, but one
planned by a drainage engineer who
knew how
l would make culverts and bridges
the width of the road. No small cul-
verts should be built. They invaria-
bly, fill up and remain a damage. A
good, big concrete bridge is the safest
and cheapest that can be made.

a rental that will induce merchants to
occupy them.
This plan will carry out an idea
often suggested, but never extensively
tried, of having all the stores in n
village under one roof. \ further ad-
vantage will be that the general ap-
pearance of the town will be enhanced
and the market will offer a protection
against the erection of unsightly struc-
lures.
The Illustration gives good idea of
the appearance of the proposed mar

FOR MOTHER
OF DEAD AUSTRIAN
County Officials Want to
Give Her Savings of Her
Son, Totaling $40.

Austrian officials and the consuls OF

be requested by Wayne county Off
cials in all probability to locate
Katherine Zaker in order that her de
ceased sons savings may be forward,
ed to her or her descendants. The es-
tate will hardly be worth the effort as
it amounts to less than $40.
EURO Zaker died at the county in
firmary on January 90, from tuberculo
sis. Superintendent Brumfield found
in his effects the money which had
been carefully hidden in the lining OF
his suit case 1t was turned over to
the county auditor and the count!

the Pennsylvania railroad with which
Zaker was at one time affiliated was
communicated with by the Officials
and while it was stated the relatives
of the decedent had no death beneflts
coming from the company. they 1ur
nished the information that the de
cedeni's mother was supposedly resi-
dent of Jaska HorvOtzaka, Austria
where he was born in 1888. Zaker had
been resident of the United States
! for several years and was employed
in railroad construction work. II the
county officials cannot locate his rela
tives. the money will be placed in the

THINKS FARM LIFE

Commons Says that His Bill

palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Feb. 4-Senator Wal
ter Commons of Richmond, conserva-
tive, came forward with a progressive
measure today when he presented a
bill for the establishment of an lndi-
ana state farm of 500 acres to which
it is planned. are to be sent prisoners
who would otherwise be committed to
county jails or warehouses for thirty
days or less. The bill. if passed,
would nearly duplicate in Indiana,
New York's famous farm for reforma-
tion of drunkards. Senator Commons
believes farm life will rehabilitate
men physically and morally and that
sound bodies lead to better lives. He
does not approve Of the present sys-

The sending of prisoners to the state
farm is left largely to the discretion
of judges. The bill provides that any
prisoners now in Jeffersonville re-
formatory, who it appears, are inca
pable of learning trades may be
, transferred to the farm. This plan
for the making over of men is in line
with the conclusions of the best So
biologists who have studied the prob
lem of the class of offenders for which
the bill is framed" said Senator
Commons. THE bill has the indorse-
ment of many commercial and civil
bodies of the state. 1t is thought to
be much better than the plan for dis
! trict work houses"
Senator Commons also presented a
bill intended to permit the trustees
of the old Quaker cemetery on North
Tenth street, Richmond, to purchase
lots in Earlham cemetery and remove
the bodies to them. The old GENE.
terry site is now too valuable to be
used merely to hold dead people and
besides it is said, a graveyard is OBJ
noXious to the neighborhood which
has grown up around it.

He W|THDRAWS HIS
SUPPORT OF WIFE
Harry Eliason, Missing Four
Weeks, Advertises to
That Effect.

Harry ]. Eliason, farmer, who
lived about four miles northwest of
the city. four months ago left his wife.
lsadore Eliason, after providing her
with money, and nothing more was
heard of him until Friday when an
advertisement was inserted in the To-
cal evening papers that he would no
longer be responsible for the debts
which his wife might contract
Eliason is still in parts unknown
except to his more intimate friends
and relatives. They declare he has
gone for good. Even though he has
withdrawn his support from his wife
the authorities will take 10 action.
In the fall Eliason disposed of his
farm utensils and nearly all his per-
sonal property at public sale and
then moved his family to South Tenth
street where his wife still resides.
One morning early in January he left
the residence giving his wife to un-
derstand that he was going up town,
but instead. it seems he went to the
depot and left the city.
At the bank at the time was an
account in his favor, which also was
subject to check by his wife, which
amounted to several hundred dollars.
This support he later withdrew and
on Friday informed merchants and
the public generally his wife would
have to shift for herself.
Both come from prominent families
She was before her marriage Miss Isa.

connections of Mr.. Eliason are large
land owners in Center township.
