CONCRETE IDEAL FOR BRIDGES.
In nearly every community of the
State there are streams that are cover
ed at road crossings with concrete
bridges. Wooden bridges are fast
being replaced by concrete bridges.
The latter material is ideal for bridge
and culvert building. When concrete
is used and properly reinforced the
work will last many times longer than
if wood is used. This is true in all
cases where wood is replaced by prop
erly constructed concrete work, but
it is more true and is of more value
in such work that comes in contact
with the weather and water often.
Wood easily rots but concrete is not
effected. For this reason properly
reinforced concrete can hardly be i'm

should be covered with concrete mix
ed according to proportions already
mentioned.
To secure neat appearance and to
insure better wear. the surface should
have thin layer of rich mixture OF
sand and cement. The proportions
usually used for this purpose are one
part cement to two parts good sand.
This surface coat should be leveled
with board using it like trowel.
The less it is worked, however, the
better. If worked too much the
cement will come to the surface and
when it hardens will form thin layer
which will crack and come off.
The concrete should be divided into
sections to prevent serious loss from
cracking. This can be done by lay
ing a plank across the floor or walk
shortly after the concrete is placed
and then a trowel run along the edge
deep enough to cut through the upper
part of the foundation.
In barns where stock will stand,
and in driveways, the foundation for
concrete work should be made thicker
than for walks. Their surface should

Goodyear Carriage Tire Sales have now
touched the 81 million mark. Three out
of every four carriage makers have adopt
ed them. More retail dealers sell them than
any other kind. Last season 24& more Good

The present seasons sales promise to almost

Thus, "Goodyears" are the tires that carriage
owners want. Because for Is years these tires
have shown themselves more servceable and
more dependable than any other kind.

spread over the platform first, then
the cement measured and spread over
the sand evenly. With a shovel the
two materials should be turned and
mixed thoroughly until of a uniform
color. When this is done it should
be spread out thinly over the plat
form and the gravel measured and
spread over it. Some concrete users
add water before they mix in the
gravel, others mix once and then add
water slowly as they continue mixing
until as much water is added and
enough mixing has been done as is
necessary.
ADD WATER SLOWLY.
The amount of water that is used
depends on individual tastes. Some
use a very wet mixture, some pasty
mixture. 1t is better to get the mix
ture little too wet than to have an
insufficient amount of water. One
precaution should be considered in
adding the water and that is not to
add it with force which will cause
the cement to wash away. This is
often done when hose is used.
USING FORMS.
In nearly all concrete work it is
necessary to have some kind of forms
in which to place the mixture to hold
it in shape until it becomes hard.
Most any kind of lumb will do for
this purpose; the main thing is to
make sure the forms are sufficiently
strong to hold their place. Green
lumber is preferable for it will not
swell or warp when it comes in con-
tact with the wet concrete. A smooth
surface can be secured on the surface
of the concrete by using boards that
have been planed and which have
been creased with soap or oil before
the mixture is put in After the con
crete has been put in the forms it
should be left for at least three weeks
before the forms are removed. When
the forms are narrow wet mixture
is best because it can settle better
than one not so wet. Ii the forms
are wide a thick jelly like mixture
may be used. The concrete should
be put in the forms a little at time
and tamped into place.
REINFORCING CONCRETE.
With the exception of foundations
and similar work all concrete con-
SCruCC1Ou SuOutu U0 f0lulOfC0u WIFI
iron rods or wire imbedded within it.
All work that is to have strain upon
it, such as posts, walls, beams, etc.,
should be reinforced. The rule in
placing reinforcing rods is to place
them in the face where the pull or
strain will come. A post should be
reinforced at the corners and in a re
tanning wall it should be near the side
nearest the earth. The closer the re-
enforcement is to the surface without
being so near that it will rust, the
| better.
CONSTRUCTION NOT DIFFICULT.
One great advantage in the use of
concrete on the farm is that the
farmer can do the work himself. Only
large jobs such as the construction OF
concrete silos or elevated water tanks,
etc., require skilled labor. For all
ordinary work a few directions, only,
are necessary.
In the construction of all floors,
sidewalks and the like a good founda-
tion should be secured. The ground
should be excavated for depth of
from six to eight inches, depending
upon the character of the soil. In
loose, soft soil the foundation should
be deeper This dug out space should
be drained and then filled three to
four inches with stone, cinders OF
some like material and tamped. This

1t was nearly 1 o'clock when,
headed by Senator-elect Ollie
James of Kentucky, the main
body of the notification commit
tee arrived.
Owing to pressure Of work IN
congress, neither Speaker Clark
nor House Leader Underwood, de-
feated candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination, was able to
be present at the notification cere-
monies.
In presenting to Governor Will
son the formal notification James
said in part:
"The democratic party believes
you possess in splendid fullness
those great attributes OF construc-
tive genius, inventive intellect and
resistless will that so transcend
antly befit you for the great un-
dertaking to which your party
has commissioned. AS democracy
has bestowed upon you its most
exalted confidence it has bestow-
ed its confidence of your service

their burden as to meet In full
and rounded measure all their
hopes and expectations.
"The republican party has
taught the trusts that it only
barks; that it does not bite. Pros
ecutions against these outlaws is
but the signal to play a rising
market.
"The democratic party Is striv-
ing to make 1t impossible for
criminal business to destroy Iegi-
innate business and to Cypress
the people,"
James lauded Wilson's boss"
determination record in New Jer-
sey.
Woodrow Wilson's speech OF
acceptance of the democratic
nomination today was a plea for
greater power for all the people
and less for the special interests.
To settle the tariff he would not
consult only those benef1tting by
1t, and to settle the banking not
merely bankers.
His plan Is for an "unentan-
gled" government where each
shall have part, big, little, rich
and poor-all combining their IN
terests and having a say from
their viewpoints.

EARL ROGERS DIDN'T
SLEEP in A CELL

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Fac
ing an alternative of paying a
fine of $50 or spending the night
in the county jail, Earl Rogers,
chief counsel for Clarence barrow,
slept as usual in his own bed at
home and declared upon arising
today that neither will he pay his
fine.
Habeas corpus was the instru-
ment by means of which he avert
ed settlement with the courts
exactions.
Rogers was sentenced for con-
tempt of court after he had ap-
piled the name of "Perjurer" to
a witness still on the stand. Fol-
lowing the issuance of a writ by
Judge Seawell of Santa Rosa, who
is acting as presiding Judge, Rog-
ers supplied 5000 bail and walk
ed from the court.

ployed by Bert H. Franklin, self

Yesterday cited for contempt, was

and that a writ of habeas corpus
had been issued. Rogers contln-
ued his interrogation or Mayer.
The witness could not recall his
visit to Franklin on the morning
of November 23-the day of the
alleged bribery-with any degree
or certainty, and Rogers eross-ex-
animation was decidedly caustic.
Now, how do you recall that
you were with Franklin in the
Higgins building November 27?"
asked Rogers.

First City Built Street Railroad In the United States
Under Construction In San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. Z. -
After six years OF continuous
fighting against Big Business and
the United Railroads, traction
corporation headed by Patrick
Calhoun that controls the street
railroads of this city, San Fran
cisco at last has a municipal
railroad well on the way to COM
pletion. So far as is known it is
the only municipality built rail-
road In the United States, all 9TH
err roads having been acquired
after their construction. The work
is being pushed forward day and
night to get 1t completed.
The idea of municipal road in
San Francisco was conceived be-
fore the quake, and in March,
1906, a month before the great
disaster, contract was let by the
city to build an underground con-
duit electric road 33 miles long
from Kearney and Market streets
the heart of the city - out
Geary street where the franchise
for the former cable line had ex-
PRED. The disaster of 1906 pre-
vented the construction of this
road.
If the Geary street municipal
road proves successful, 1t will
open the way for public owner
ship of all street car lines in San
Francisco, for as other franchises
expire the roads will be taken
over and operated by the city, so
it will be interesting to the coun-
try at large to watch how the
first municipality owned street
railroad in the United States
turns out.
