BUT NEEDING A DRAGGING
1t certain times that it is desirable tha,
every interested citizen should know
something about the location. con-
struction. drainage and maintenance
of earth roads. and under the term
earth roads are included those with an
admiyture of sand and clay.
Everything connected with tine con
struction, use and maintenance OF
roads was in times past before the
introduction Of railways the subjeci
of exact observations and experiments
many and varied in character. On
this account old engineering works

Now that we have the results of
great number of years of experience
in older countries. it seems that there
is little to invent. but much to learn
in this branch Of construction.
Yet there have been improvements
in roadmaking and especially in road

D|SAPPROvES
OF FAST DRIVING

In order to avoid what might
eventually result in a serious acct
dent through the practice of automo-
biles and other conveyances round
ing the sharp corner at the junction
of Lyons avenue and Ninth street, the
city council last Monday night de-
cided to place a large sign on the
yard formerly used by the Eecles
Lumber company, warning all travel
lers to slow up on reaching that
point.
Complaints were registered with
the city fathers in regard to the
congestion on Aultman street and
other leading thoroughfares owing to
the fact that leave wagons
standing at any particular point
without respect to the rights of
others. A. A. Marshall was instructed
to notify the guilty parties that
distractions would not be tolerated
by the council.
City Engineer Willard was au-
thorized to make certain necessary
repairs to wooden sidewalks or
hurry street, which have been rem
dered dangerous to life and limb
through the breaking of boards.
J. w. Paine, who has the contract
for the construction of the storm
sewer in Aultman alley, submitted an
estimate of $7S5.30 representing
work that had been accomplished
during the week. The claim was APP
proved by the council.

THE MAN OF FORTY.

Arthur Holder of the American
Federation of Labor Is quoted as hav-
ing told the Employers Libility Com
mission that a man over 40 with a
few gray hairs, can retain a place he
has held, but a new position will not
be offered him. The testimony is in
accurate, for it is daily contradicted
by the experience of men who at the
& of two-score years find their ser
vices in demand in various callings
by virtue of acquired skill and train
ing. A man is young at 40, and
many of us refuse to be old at 60
and 20.
Every now and then some such
foolish thing is said, to make all but
the callow, unsophisticated beings
feel cumbersome and superiuous
Must the places in the working ranks
be occupied by infant prodigies? To
say so is to discount the worth of a
veterans understanding and long
practice. Barrett Wendell says that
in literature a man, as a rule is only
born at 81. Must he, then, die at the
age of 10? That is to say, is his
creative activity at an end when he
is 40? 1t is unsafe to generalize
upon youth and old age. How old
one is depends upon oneself, not on
the calendar.

COMMENT.

A tree bearing eoreless and seed
less apples has been accidentally dis
covered in Nevada says a dispatch to
the New York Herald. THE rec from
which the seedless apples grew is e v
en- years old, but has been nibbled
back each year by cattle. This year it
bore twenty-five perfect specimens,
all seedless and coreless. A peculi-
arity is that the withered stamens
and pistils may still be SEEN"
Whether the freak apple, like the
seedless orange. may be induced to
further propagation has been con-
siderately brought to the attention of
Luther Burbanks. A coreless apple
would be a new temptation to man.

NEVADA UNITED MAY
DISPOSE OF CONTROL

The stockholders in the Nevada
United Mines company have an OPP
portunity to dispose of a controlling
interest. according to circular letters
that have been issued from head
quarters at Denver, provided they
signify their willingness to enter
into a pooling agreement, and
designate a committee with full power
to negotiate the deal. If arrange
ments are concluded on this basis,
1,50O, 600 shares of stock will be
pooled between February l and May
/. to be taken over by the purchasers
for 33 1-3 cents a share.
The company's holdings are situa-
ted at Ward, and considerable money
has been expended in development
work during the five years. Several
carloads of ore were shipped during
1909, which averaged 20 per cent
lead. together with several ounces in
silver. Shipments were discontinued
on account of the expense of trans
p~ortation.
The Nevada United put forth a bond
issue about a year ago for the pur-
pose of financing a railroad from
Ward to connect with the Nevada
Northern at East Ely, but owing to
stringeney in the money market they
were unable 10 carry their plans TO a
successful conclusion. Explorations
have been continued without inter
ruption. and a large tonnage of COM
mercial ore has been uncovered,
which could be handled at a profit, IL
railroad facilities were available.

A MATTER OF SELFISHNLSS.

A Chicago firm, a mail order house
purchased five million three cent
stamps from the government, to mail
away their yearly catalog. There is
only one way for the local merehait
to offset this, and that is by appeal
ing to the people of The community
to purchase at home and Offering
their bargains through the news
papers, showing the people of the dis
trict that they can do just as well by
buying their goods in the district.
Some people purchase from HON
merchants as a matter of principle,
but others do not recognize any
principle, take no pride in their home
town and must be convinced that il
is going to benefit them personally.
You cannot appeal to them with an
argument of keeping the money il
circulation here; they would send il
to China or the far ends of the earth
il they thought they could save one
cent on a $1,000 purchase.
