EXPERIMENTS in GOOD ROADS
Present Efforts May Lead to DIscov-
cry Of Binding Material That
u Quite Essential.

The efforts to obtain q durable bin
der for road material are not without
value. becauce they clearly show what
to avoid, and may, by the slow pro
cess Of elimination, lead to the dis
covery Of the binding material that IL
90 essential to road making at tho
present time.
There is nothing yet known in this
country. nor yet in France, where q
system OF $4,000 miles Of federal roads
Is under constant, scientific super
vision, tina. will Withstand the double
effect OF horsedrawn vehicles and
pneumatic-tired motor cars. But II
Aere is any combination that will
meet these requirements, It is certain
u be brought to light some day, and
By just the kind Of experiments made
III Camden and elsewhere, says the
Newark News.
III Vermont and in Massachusetts,
where crushed stone Is abundant, the
roads that are made Of good gravel
appear to be giving good satisfaction.
In the first place, they have the very
decided merit Of being much cheaper
than macadam roads, and they seem
to require less scientific and less cost
" repairing. And in addition they
are not SO dusty as the macadam
when the latter has been subjected to
heavy traffic and the wear and tear
Of automobiles.
Gravel roads are also said to be
gaining in favor in Pennsylvania, but
the difficulty is to find gravel depos-
its large enough to meet the require
ments Of extensive road building and
repairing. Where good gravel can be
had the contention is that the state
can get better results by using 1t than
by spending much more money for
macadam. Be that as It may, those
whose memories 60 back beyond the
time Of improved road building in this
state remember that the roads were
always fairly good in districts where
gravel was abundant and was freely
used.

.L0VETT BACK At DESK
Says He Found Hartman Lines
in Excellent Condition.
BUSINESS GOOD IN WEST
Thinks Railroads Will Derive
Benefit Rather than Loss
from Panama Canal.

Robert s Lovett chairman OF the exec
utive committee Of the Hartman system,
was at his Office yesterday for the first
time since his return last Saturday from
the inspection trip over the various lines Of
the system that he made I'm company with
the executive heads Of the Union and
Southern Pacific roads.
He said he found the roads I'm excellent
physical condition, and that 80 far as the
Southern Pacific was concerned It was I'm
as good shape as at any previous period In
its history If not better. The Union Pa
clnc lines were tied up somewhat by snow
fall at the time Of his visit, he said. but
he had been assured by the officers OF the
company that the condition Of the road
was encouraging.
Ordinarily, maintenance means keeping
up the properties" he added our policy
for years has been for high standard Ct
improyement Nearly year ago we began
To reduce somewhat the scale Of our eX-
penses. but only 10 a moderate extent. our
purpose being still to maintain full eff
fciency. | found, however, that with this
reduction in our maintenance expenses the
Improvement was being fully kept up
Judge Iovett said that the crop outlook
throughout the West was good and senti-
ment was more cheerful. If good feeling
toward each other, rather than hatred and
,ll-will. shall become the popular doctrine" "
he remarked, I'VE shal have as good times
I'm this country as we have ever known"
Asked what effect he thought the OPEN
ing OF the Panama Canal would have upon
transcontinental railroad traffic, Judge
Iovett replied that was n question no one
could answer definitely at present, but that
he believed the chief loss to the railroads
would be on freight from Europe destined
for the Pacific Coast. This. he said, would
be carried there direct by steamers by way
of the canal, instead of, as at present,
being landed at Atlantic and Gulf ports and
shipped across the continent on the rail-
roads.
The railroads, however, he added would
continue to do II considerable transatlantic
traffic, and what they lost OH European
shipments would be more than made up,
he thought. through the building up Of the
Pacific Coast that was certain to result
from the opening of the canal.
