AS matter of fact, no foundation
is suitable for street travel except one
of Portland cement concrete of suffic-
lent depth and strength to carry the
load imposed upon the surface with
perfect rigidity, and it is equally true,
as determined by years of careful OBJ

that their particular kind of wearing

BOY SCOUTS HAVE Big
TIME AT THEIR CAMP

The Boy Scouts of Moscow report
a royal good time at their camp in
the Kumerein, on Moscow mountain.
There are eighteen of them under the
direction of Dr. Steinmen, their scout
master. Their nine tents, arranged
along the bank of the stream, make a
very attractive camp. They have made
a large table and benches in the shade
of some tall pines and cedars for their
dining room. The boys also built a
dam across the stream to form small
lake for bathing and swimming. The
conditions there are ideal for boys
camp.
The youngsters occupy their time
in playing scout games, learning
about the trees and plants, telling
stories and singing songs around the
campfire, contests in scoutcraft, hikes
and exploring expeditions. A specimen

$50 anf.--Turn out, bath, etc.

STANDARD PAVING IS

ENTERTAINED AT THE EXPENSE
OF INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTORS.
These junket trips are usually ;
grand Joy ride" rather than a tour Of
inspection, and it is to be hoped that
not only this committee, but Mos
cows city officials, will not counten-
ance such methods.
Mayor Clarke is to be commended
He recently visited the larger cities OF
the coast inspecting pavements AT
HIS OWN EXPENSE. He met no rep
resentatives of paving contractors nor
was he entertained by them.

true, the actual cost of a concrete
base is trifie greater than that of
macadam base, but it seems to us
that we have had enough of macadam
in this city.
About twelve years ago Moscow ex-
perimented with macadam pavement,
which is much better than street of
mud. but the character and the nature
of the soil is such that it is imprac-
ticable to think of the use of maca-
dam base. The stone not only dis
appears into the soggy clay, but it
works its way up through the niaca-
dam until now on our Main street you

you would be careful in selecting ma

base the city can lay any kind of a |
surface thereon and if, after
twenty years, the wearing surface |
shows signs of wear it can resurface
the street at a very nominal cost, ma

statement saying the present demo-

house in 20 years. He said it passed
a tariff bill which if it had not been
vetoed by Taft would have saved the
people $5O0,OOO,O00 a year.

Editor Star Mirror: Probably there
is not subject more univcrsally
talked upon in Moscow at present thar
that of street pa iny. Probably there
is no subject that the average ,rt u.
erty owner is less familiar with than
that of street paving, mainly for the
reason that MOSCOW has no standard
paving. The ordinary taxpayer or
property owner now; no more about
the construction of pavement than a
house painter does about finishing a
piano. If he had an opportunity to
witness the laying of a pavement, he
would probably say, casually: why,
they are paving here" blI; when it
comes to laying a pavement before
your own door and you are as ,essed
for the same, you should be very care
full as to the kind and character Of the
pavement you select.
Paving contractors have had their
representatives and promoters in the
city for the last three or four months,
each exploiting the merits of their
particular kind of paving Nha. are
we to do?
Shall we profit by the experience of
other and older cities, or shall we
listen and blindly accept as facts the
theories and statements advanced by
these high-salaried Wallingfords? Are
there not some means by which we can
avoid the usual wrangle of paving con-
tractors in the awarding of our paving
contract?
The selection of a permanent pave
ment suitable to our climatic and
traffic conditions is perhaps the most
important question that confront5 you,
Mr.. Property Owner, today; that, you
will have to decide within the next two
or three weeks. According to the paw
ing ordinance the mayor shall duly
appoint committee, whose duties
shall be to investigate the different |
forms of paving and make their rec
to the city council for
he adoption of some particular kind /
)f paving.
Bids will be received on twenty one
Jarious classes of pavements about |
September 10. Shall the recommends
ion of this paving committee be ac-
,epted by the city council as final, or
will the council consider petitions
hat will undoubtedly be circulated
md paid for by paving promoters for
heir particular kind of paving?
1t goes without saying that this
when appointed must be
of men of unquestionable
tanding and integrity; men who can
lot be easily influenced by the plausi-
lie, smooth talk advanced by these
'aving promotes, whose sole in
crest is to secure contract, regard
.ss of your interests. THEY SHOULD
