A Good Roads Leader.

The Louisiana Times is urging
Hon. Frank w. Buffum, of Louisi-
ana, to become a candidate for the
legislature in Pike county The
Journal hopes that the Times will
be successful in inducing Mr.. Buff
fun to permit the use of his name
for that position. Missouri needs
him in the law-making department
of the state and particularly at this
time. All kinds of road laws have
been passed, but as yet the prob
lem has not been solved. Mr..
Buffum is the best posted good
roads" man in the state. He could
be of incalculable benefit to the
people in bringing about the pas
sage of law that would encourage
real road building. He has given
the subject careful and intelligent
study and Is pre-emlnenly the
man to lead the movement.
If the people of Pike county can
not prevail on him to make the
sacrifice = for it would be a real
sacrifice for him to accept the place
they may confidently call on the
people of Marion county to use
whatever influence they may have
in securing his consent to serve the
whole stete in this matter. --Hanni,

not less than about "a feet between
the inner edges of the bitches.
Where it is necessary to enlarge the
side bitches the width between
them could be extended until the
standard width Of roadbed is at
tanned. The Crown should be grad
ed up as many inches high at the
center above the extreme outside
of the graded roadbed as the grad
ed portion is wide in feet, thus max
ing an evenly shaped roadbed with
from the center to the side of 2
inches to the foot
The side bitches should be exca-
waited of such width and depth as
the drainage requirements of the
locality demand. They should have
true grades and sufficient incline to
furnish a free flow of water to the
nearest outlet and quickly of the
right-a-way. The big feature of the
actual road making part is drain
age. Let nothing stand in the way
of well drained roadbed.
The reconstructed and newly
made culverts should be made from
a more permanent material than
wood. While concrete is recon.
mended above all other culvert
material it may be necessary to use
vitrified clay or metal pipe culverts
in some sections. Clay pipe should
be only of good quality of well
burned. salt-glazed double strength
pipe with athickness of shell of not
less than one.twelfth dig the in
ternal diameter of the pipe. They
must be well bedded. well jointed
laid reasonably straight and the
tontiet should carry the water quick
ly away from the mouth of the cul
vert. Only metal culverts of the
heaviest grade of sheet metal fro n
which they are manufacturer
should be used.
All these classes Of culverts
Concrete, clay and metal) should
have a covering of not less than 1:
inches of earth to protect them from
the impact of hoofs and wheels
The uniform width in roadway
clearance should not be less than
% feet, between headwalls. Head
walls should be built to all culvert'
and extended to an elevation of
feet above the fill on the inner sid
of the headwall. Plans for road
beds and culverts of any one of tn,
three types desired can be obtained
by application to my Office.

Scraps of History.

lett FdltnyTd on SCneQule time, ana
shortly after passing the point
known then as Monroe Station, was
thrown from the track by the ab-
sence of rail. The crew realized
at once that wreckers were at work
and their expectations were verified
when few minutes later a passen-
ger train came up to the scene from
the west. This train of course had
to stop, and as soon as it did so,
nine men appeared from the brush
along side of the track and compell-
ed the railroad men to get together
and one Of the guerillas kept them
covered by his revolver. Another
freight train followed the passenger
and the crew on this was also
captured.
When the three trains were at
standstill and the engines uncoupled
the passengers were compelled to
get out and line themselves along
the track, where they were relieved
of their money and jewelry. A few
escaped, but they had the appear
ance of being poor, and after they
were searched, if they had only a
small amount it was given back.
No resistance was offered and no
violence INDUCED in. in fact, the
robbers were exceedingly polite and
after all had been disarmed. the
victims were not even kept under
cover of firearms.
After the passengers had been
relieved of their valuables, the mail
and express cars were given atten.
tion and it is estimated that be.
Tween $80,00000 and 100000 in
gold and greenbacks was secured,
making the entire amount, including
jewelry, foot up to the enormous
amount of one hundred thousand
dollars.
The guerrilIas were deliberate in
their movements. and it is thought
that more of them were concealed
near by, but only nine appeared.
They packed their booty in conven-
lent packages. aud after "joshing"
their victims for a while, selected
the beet coach for the use of the
ladies, invited them to board and
sent them back west. They then
compelled the railroad men to set
fire to the three trains, and four
passenger coaches, ten freight cars
and all of their contents were burn
ed. The loss, of course, was very
heavy to the railroad company. and
after that armed men made up the
equipment of every train,
A railroad man who lived in Pal
myra, gave the account of this af-
fair to the Spectator and claimed
that he recognized one Captain
Hughes, who commanded a squad

5000 men NEEDED
IN ONE COUNTY
LaMoure County Alone Calls
for that Number of
Harvest Hands.

La Moure, July 13.-If nothing hap
pens to the grain GRO of LaMoure
county from now on, there is evidence
tnat there will be a terrible scarcity of
help. 1t is estimated that it will re-
quire at least one extra man to every
quarter, on an average, throughout the
county, and that being true, nearly
hNe thousand men can find employ
ment within the borders of LaMoure
county this fall.
Owing to the continuous and timely
rains, growth of straw is abundant,
the stooling was excellent. and the
heads are out in generous length-all
of which indicates hat it will be no
small task to handle the grain and
get it from the field to the elevator.
During the past ten days. the rains
have visited practically every section
of the county. and unless hail visits
us. or rust attacks, nothing can pre-
vent a big harvest.
HaNing is now on. and the growth
of grass has been %luNuriant, and now
the cry for help is heard on every
hand. h rye harvest will be on in
earnest within a week, and a large
acreage was put in last fall. and it is
generally good. The heads are extra
long and filled to the tip in most cases.
1t will he We'll for every farmer in
the county, who is going to need n
help and who desires to secure good
help at reasonable hire to write to
friends and relatives in the east to
nave reliable men of quality come to
North Dakota and help care for the
crops. Now is the time to act. The
hobo element will stick for the big
wages. and the only way to protect
oneself is to have help of known worth
come from among friends in the east.
