(E. F. Ayres, Engineer, o. A. c.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.-How to maintain the high
ways of the district and yet save
enough money to improve some new
section each year is the most per-
picking problem confronting our
supervisors. If any permanent i'm.
provement is attempted some road
must be neglected, and If no gravel
or macadam is laid he is accused
of wasting funds by spreading them
out too thin. In either case, the
supervisor Is sure to become un-
popular with some or all of his
constituents.
Wherever the highways are built
of clay or other heavy soils, they
may be maintained at slight ex-
pense by use Of the drag. The SUI.
pervisor alone cannot get the best
results from this implement, each
one must look out for the road in
front of his own property. More
depends on the time the road is
dragged than on any other one con-
sideration, and only by taking short
stretches can the work be done
when the soil Is in proper condi-
ton.
No road can be built with a drag.
Stumps and rocks must be removed
from the travelled way, proper drain
age must be installed, and the road

Manner and Customs.

The manners Of some people en-.
countered in taking walks abroad are
suggestive Of the report made by the
old British sea captain who was sent
out to investigate the manners and
customs of the inhabitants of new.
Undiscovered Pacific island. His re-
port was brief, as follows: manners
they have none, and their customs
are beastly."

Do Not Lose Your Temper.

Anger is lack Of sense. That is

when he is angry as he is at other
times. He may be angry and still
have more sense than some people
have when they are not angry. but
he is not as wise when he Is angry
rs at other times. He cannot reason
30 we'll; his brain does not work in
as sane a groove; he is more foolish
than other people who may have
much less sense than he has when he
Is in good hunor.

LIVELY DOINGS
NEAR ESMOND

Esmond, n. D., Feb. 6.-The CONF
ing season promises to be an unusu-
ally busy one for Esmond. 500 grad
ers were here the other day and
located their grading camps about ten
miles north Of Esmond, near Fillmore
postofiice. Peter Nelson of Mime
apolis will have a contract for about
ten miles of grading on the new 500
line, east of Fillmore, and will have
force of LOO men, 200 horses, and
two steam shovels. While here he
made arrangements with local parties
to haul lumber from Esmond to the
location of his camps, and the work
of building stables and bunk houses,
etc. will begin at once. BY Feb. 20
his horses will arrive from Canada,
where he has just finished a big con-
tract, and they will be driven overland
from Harvey on the 500 to the camps.
The steam shovels will be unloaded
at Esmond and taken to the ground.
over tracks that will be built for them
as they go. They will travel about
a mile a day, and will therefore take
about ten days to get on the ground.
1t is believed there will be a new town
somewhere near Fillmore, or else
straight south of Knox. 1t is a good
country, and will be greatly benefited
by the new railroad.
In addition to this hustle on the
500, it is said that the contract has
been let for the grading of the ex-
tension of this oberon Esmond branch
from Esmond to Towner. A Rugby
man has been solicited by a con-
tractor to take sub-contract on that
extension.
The new Fargo Minot line Of the
Great Northern, fourteen miles to the
south of Esmond will also be ironed

AN INTERESTING
STORY OF RELIEF
WOMAN WHO SUFFERED AND
WAS ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE
SAYS SHE COULD HARDLY
KEEP FROM THROWING HER.
SELF FROM BRIDGE.

During the past year have spent
over $40O in the hospital and became
so bad that when my husband brought
me to Fargo was unable to sit still
being SO nervous and over wrought
that I could hardly restrain the i'm
pulse to throw myself off the bridge
and end my sufterings once and for
ALL"
This story was told to newspaper
reporter by Mrs. Jens Nelson, the wife
Of a well known and prosperous farm
er at Maddox, n. d. 1t is story
which deals with the cure Of woman
who had suffered for eighteen years
with the diseases to which women are
subject suffered acutely, took all
kinds Of mediclne-doctored with all
kinds of doctors-submitted to two Sc
we're surgical operations then
Just as she thought the door of hope
close shut in her face she found re-
lief and a cure Mrs. Nelson said:
For the past three years I have
been a very sick woman; / became
seriously sick eight years ago and had
suffered for nearly ten years before
that time with complication of wo.
mems diseases which were gradually
wearing my life away. After my
troubles developed into the most
serious form I became almost a physi-
cal wreck; was so nervous and un.
strung that could hardly sit still
took patent medicines till / thought
could take no more, doctored with
all kinds of doctors and on the advice
of two different physicians was
twice operated upon, all without any
sign of relief and actually growing
worse all the time.
II came to DIR. Gates four weeks
ago. l got relief from the first treat
ment, began to mend at once and
now, after the treatments for this
short period ] am going home re-
joicing in a cure that is little short
of miraculous. Not alone that, but
during my treatment have seen
scores of others from all sections of
the northwest cured of different dis
eases, all of them sufferers like my
self who had exhausted the resources
of physicians, surgeons and medi-
cines. 1t is wonderful what this man
Is doing.
mo wonder he is overwhelmed
with patients who come to him as a
last resort. / hope the good work
will continue and that many, many
more may learn Of this man who
makes the hopeless sick to rejoice.

Moorhead are crowded with people
who are enthusiastic in his praise.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH WITH
METALLIC ROOTS MAY BE
GROWN IN HUMAN JAW

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Artificial teeth
with metallic roots may be planted
and grown in the human jaw. This
is the claim for new invention
brought to Chicago by DIR. E. ].
Greenfield of Wichita, kan, who
hopes to interest the local profes-
sion and the universities.
According to DR.. Greenfield, the
metallic roots of the artificial teeth
are transplanted into the hole left
by the newly extracted tooth. The
wound is prepared in much the
same manner that gardener pre-
pares the soil for a young set. The
metallic roots consist of four
prongs inclosed in a basketwoork
Of rings Of iridio platinum.
Chicago dentists assert that If
the new cultivated tooth proves to
be all that is claimed for it, it will
mean the Disappearance Of the
plate now used for false teeth sets.

~ magazine Of national scope which
is being published by the western
Underwater Co. of Cincinnati and
Chicago. There lis q possibilitv that
Mr.. Thurber will take the managing
editorship OF this publication, and il
ne does II Will necessitate his moving
to Cincinnati, Q. The decision on such
change will not be decided until
later. however.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Thurber
is an enthusiast in the work of fire
prevention. He says ''The preven-
tion Of fires is wonderful subject and
one that is filled with mysteries and
secrets. We will never reach the eli
max or end of the question as there
viii always be new problems to solve.
The agitation for fire prevention, bet
ter fire protection and building con-
struction is now spreading to the re-
motest corners of our nation and peo-
pie are just awakening to the fact
that In fire prevention we have a ma
tional problem and one that must be
handled with care but with certainty.
Our high cost of living, which the pa
pers are full of now days. is not so
much the fault Of tariff, trusts and
such political questions, but rather
should be blamed to the national
habit OF our people-the habit of waste
1--WE Americans are the most waste
ful people on the face Of the globe and
have been since the beginning of time
for the United States, and in no way is
the national habit more clearly exem-
plified than in our national annual
fire waste. Think Of it, $3.50, 200. 900 a
year goingyyup In fire and smoke and
thousands of human lives. That is a
loss the nation can never recover-it
is gone forever
"And to think again that at least
80 per cent of this is caused through
carelessness and is preventable is
enough to make a patriotic citizen
hang his head in shame. Our national
fire loss is from eight to ten times as
great as that in European countries,
and we dig down in our pockets and
pay from eight to ten times as much
for the cost of cur fire insurance. This
loss is also added to the price we pay
for clothes and the necessities of life.
There's the main secret Of our high
cost Of living.
'If we can arouse the people to the
danger Of the present existing condi-
ton of this great annual fire waste,
and how that with ordinary care we
can prevent at least so per cent of it,
twill be the means Of saving thou
sands-yes, millions of dollars to our
tax paying citizens annually, the saw
ing of property which is valuable as
set OF our nation and the saving of
thousands of human lives, whose value.
can never be estimated. 1t is busi-
ness proposition in the saving of money
and property and problem of hui
manity in the saving of human souls"

"Lemme see 'em," demanded
Phillips.
"Sure," said the lucky gent, and
carelessly threw down four per-

They were perfectly good aces.
The only trouble with them was
that they didn't all belong in the

hearts.

gestively.

This was the proper thing to
say in the circumstances, but the

his arms that way. A fifth ace
dropped from his sleeve, and the

became the look of a man hunting
trouble and meaning to find it.

had been in thesgame, and who is

half in, half out of the window.
Mr.. Phillips took a shot at the
half of Mr.. Brooks which was in
the inside of the window, thus
breaking Mr.. Brooks leg, and
then went toward his hotel,
breathing fire, vengeance and
sudden death to anyone who in
terrupted him.
Later, Mr.. Phillips, having
nursed his wrath somewhat and
Gained it down, gave himself up
to the sheriff.
But it all goes to show that the

hold four aces at opportune mo-
ments is we'll founded.
