A BEAUTIFUL HILL ROAD IN THE WEST.
make the road almost impossible and
require several days labor number
Of times each year to repair. To avoid
this trouble the road may be sloped
from the bank side enough to carry
the water directly across the road.
When a grade is desired on a side
hill roadway pillow in three burrows on
the lower side, the outside furrow to
be about twenty feet from the bank.
When grading draw this loose dirt to-
ward the center of the roadway with
q slope of about one inch to the foot,
carrying this slope across the entire
grade. The ditch thus made should be
opened at short intervals to let out the
water.
After the grading is done headers
should be put in to divert any water
that might follow the wheel track. To
make these headers scrape with the
slusher a trench little diagOnally
across the grade about two scraperS
width and not deep. Deposit this dirt
with more from the outside alongside
the trench, making the ridge no higher
than absolutely necessary to accom-
plish it's purpose and not less than ten
feet wide, thus causing as little oh,
structiOn as possible. This plan will
always provide a quick drying hill
road. With the occasional use of
King drag this can be kept like a bou-
levard
When the highway is cut through
hill it is desired to keep reducing the
grade. To this end work the road
against one bank, leaving a ditch on
one side only. Turn all the water from
above and along the hill into this
ditch. Plow it in repeatedly each sea-
son. After this trench has washed too
much for safety smooth this side and
change the ditch to the opposite side of
the road and repeat. You will be sur
pr1sed at the change in steepness eff
fected In ten or twelve years.-W. S.

Seattle.-Governor M. E. Hay, at

a plan to be submitted to the next
legislature providing for compensat-
ing convicts of good record employed
on the state highway systems.
Governor Hay proposed to pay to
the unmarried men 80 cents day for
each working day, the money to be
held in trust for him until he leaves
prison, and then given him as an aid
toward making his way and re-estab-
fishing himself in honest work. For
the married man with one child he
thought rs cents day should be set
aside, the money to be paid quarterly
to the family, that the innocent might
not suffer for the acts of the guilty.
For a larger family he thought the
daily earnings might be greater.

INDIANS DISLIKE PLAN
ColviIIe Chief Goes East to Plead for
Communal Ownership of Land.

Spokane. Protesting earnestly
against being compelled to accept in
dividual allotments of land which the
government has given them, Chief
Louis Timentwa, of the Colville In
dams, has gone to Washington to
plead for communal ownership for his
tribe.
Worship of the earth as the mother
of all good is an important part in
the religion of the tribe, and the pur-
chase or sale of land is regarded al
most as sacrilegious. The Colville In
dams adhere strongly to the idea Of
common ownership of the land and
desire that whatever is coming to
them in land or money be given to the
entire tribe as a whole and not divid-
ed among individual members.
The interior department takes the
stand that the Indians will progress
more rapidly toward civilization if
each is given his own quota of land.

Suggestions For Making a Quick

HOW TO GET RID OF WATER

Carry 1t Directly Across by SloPIn9
Road From the Bank Side-Pointers
on Grading - Results Obtained by
Flowing.
I have always been very interested
and observant in the matter Of coun-
try roads and have read many valua-
BILE articles on the subject. But l still
think there are some points that L nave
not seen touched upon relative to road
making, especially in the hill country
along the Mississippi and Missouri
slopes.
The great object Of road work should
be to get the water away as quickly
as possible. We have a good soil for
roadmaking, but the hills are of silt
formation, and a stream of water crum-
bles them like so much loaf sugar.
Many of our experienced roadmak-
ers will throw up a hill grade and car
ry the water down each side for long
distances. Then comes heavy rain
fall. Forty thousand rivulets from
the hillside above pour into the drains,
and such a volume of water accumu-
lates as to cut deep gorges. These
