tlon to being we'll covered and drained
the surface should be kept as smooth
as possible; free from ruts, wheel
tracks and holes. Good drainage is
the main object to a good road as
farm drainage is to a good farm. In
fact the two go together better the
one better the other.
There are many miles OF puohc
roads in Marion country which are al
most impossible to travel on during
some winter months on account Of bad
drainage. Most Of the roads in this
country are constructed Of earth,
which Is the poorest Of all road ma
terials. Next to sand roads, earth
roads require more attention than any
other kind and as a rule get less. Be-
sides good drainage and location the
surface should be kept as smooth and
firm as possible by rolling. Corduroy
road, like earth roads, should never
be built where it is possible to secure
any other good material, The main
requirement of a good road is that 1t
should be firm and unylclding at all
times, and in all kinds Of weather.
Hard roads are divide dlnto three
classes-gravel shell and stone, In
many communities It is impossible to
build stone roads, but a surface of
gravel gives better results than at
tained by the use Of earth alone Where
beds of gravel are available this Is the
simplest and cheapest method Of i'm
proving country roads; gravel which
contains clayey and earthly matter will
pack very readily. Seaside and river
gravel usually composed Of rounded
water worn pebbles are unfit for sur
facing a road. Blue gravel and bank
gravel mixed together make a good
road. A gravel road should be rolled
until 1t is well mixed together before
1t Is open to traffic. In order to main
tain gravel road in good condition, it
is well to keep piles along sides at
frequent times, so that persons who
repair the roads can get the material,
A good stone road viii last for ages
If properly kept up. Some people have
the impression that because rock
quarries easily breaks easily and
packs readily, it is the best stone
Tor roads, but 1t is not, Trap rock is
considered by most road engineers Of
long experience to be the very best
stone for road building; it has all the
qualities most desired for road stones,
they are hard, tough, and when prop
erly prepared into smooth, hard crust,
Ii is not easily broken or washed
away
A macadam road consists of a pre-
pared foundation of rocks and crushed
to a smooth, hard surface by the pas
sage Of vehicles or a road roller A
man by the name of John L. MacAdam
laid down the principles of a macadam
road. In Marion county crushed rock
has proven the best for a road as it
packs readily.
Here in our district, No, %, a rock
quarry has been opened which can
supply any amount of rock wanted
They are talking of buying a rock
crusher so good roads are expected.
Several districts around us including
the Silverton district expect to obtain
crushed rock from this district if it is
fortunate enough to get crusher

put their thoughts into action, and by
voting special road taxes and donating
from twenty to fifty dollars besides by
each taxpayer, in one year have now
got a good rock road from Salem
south ten miles up the valley, on the
main road toward Albany And after
being at all this expense, would it be
right for us to pay a state tax to build
good roads for other districts, which
We would never use or get any benefit
from?
think that the fairest way would
be for every district to build its own
roads, as we have done 1t looks very
plain to the farmers that most Of this
good roads excitement is got up by the
automobile men, as they make a regu-
lar speedway Of our rock road here.
And some of them run at a rate Of
forty miles an hour, and they don't
seem to think that the farmers who
built the road have any right what
ever to half Of it, but will run them
into the ditch without any regard for
their rights. And the suction Of the
tires at that rate of speed tears out
the fine rock, and very soon destroys
tie road. The people in this district
have had a chance to see how the
speeding automobiles are destroying
their rock road, and do not feel like
taxing themselves to build roads for
the automobiles to tear up.

the children of the community, but
bids fair to become a vital part of the
social and educational life of the par
ents, who have watched with generous
envy the opportunities to their chill
dren which they never received. The
cause of better farming has received
an impetus in 1912 from which there
will be no permanent backsliding.
Under the direction of skilled men, ev-
cry county in the state will soon be re-
ceiving lessons in scientific farming
from the field superintendents of the
Better Farming Association of North
Dakota, and the material prosperity of
the state will be increased many fold.
In her political life, North Dakota
has reason to be thankful and happy
at this Christmas time of 1912.
TO it's friends and enemies, it's sub
scribers and customers, the Times
Record extends it's congratulations for
the good things which have come in
the year passed; it's heartiest good
wishes for your prosperity in the year
of 1913. May the state ever grow, not
only in material prosperity, but in
that progress of the mind and soul
which can come only through the 10y
atty and sacrifice OF her men and wo-
men. May many Merry Xmases and
Happy New Years be yours.

With the twenty-fifth of December
only five days away, the year of 1912
draws to close and prepares to ush-

son millions of hearts are uplifted in
thankfulness for benefits received
and gladness for the prospects of a
bright and progressive twelve months
to come. Especially from North Da-
kota, it's Farmers, and business men,
is due the highest need of gratitude
and happiness for perhaps the great
est and most prosperous year in her
history. Along all lines has advance
ment been made byleaps and bounds.
Her bounteous crops, as great as any
in her history; her progress in manu-
features and new business enterprises
in word, her financial success dur
ing the year 1912 are but a part of the
great harvest Of good which has come
to the state. The cause of education,
the uplift Of the masses of children
in the rural districts of the state
through the labors of hundreds of
progressive men and women has been
fostered during the past twelve
months so that today North Dakota
stands alone in progress along these
lines. The rural school has become a

good reason has thanked the concern
and Its head, Robert Anderson for his

this space was ample for their needs
but the growth of their business, co.
