ROAD GRADER INVENTED
BY Twin FALLS MAN

A road grader, attachable to amy
farm wagon or buggy, that does the
work Of filling up the chuck holes of a
country road as the farmer makes his
trip to and from market has heen in
vented by Hugh g. Taylor or Bull, and
is now in use on one of the highways
Of Twin Falls county.
The inventor Is in tho city and VIII
explain his machine to the meeting of
the county commissioners tomorrow.
He thinks that the invention will save
large amount of money now spent on
county roads and believes that they
viii be kept in much better condition
than they now are.
The commissioners of Twin Falls
county have distributed several of the
machines along one of the roads into
the city and the farmers are using them
To determine whether or not they
would be improvements over the old
system. The machine increases the
draught on the horses but slightly and
can be attached TO any wagon when the
farmer leaves home and starts on his
trip to town. AS he goes, the ruts aud
chuck holes are filled on one side of the
road and the other side is graded when
he returns. The device consists of a
disk wheel and a small scraper to pull
and smooth over the dirt and round
off the top of the road, The inventor
thinks that 1t means better roads. a
material saving to the farmers, and
cheaper transportation. Some counties
arc now planning to rebate the poll tax
to those farmers who use the machine

cur. Concerning its Investigations, the
commission says:
Many Due to Bad Track.
"Of the 81 derailments investigated.
IA We're either directly or indirectly
caused by bad track In five Of these
a eases the derailnents would prob
ally have been aNalded had existing
speed restrictions been observed; but
Iii all the REMAINING, cases no adequate
saeed restrictions weie ia force, and
Iii three eases the track conditions
We're so obviously unsafe that derai.-
nents were likely to occur even at low
speed. In one serious derailment al
examination of the track i'm the vicinity
of the accident disclosed a06 rotten
tiles within a distance Of 147 raj
| lengths Under many of the rails
| there We're as many as II lad ties,
and under each Of two rails there were
! Il ties so badly deeayed and broken
as to be totally unfit for service Ia
| many If these ties the spikes were Sc
| loose that they We're easily removed

any holding power. The track in tire
vicinity of this accident was poorly
/ hailasted and was unsafe fer the pas
sage Of trains at ordinary speed. This
derailment occurred on straight track
while the train was running about &c
] miles per hour"
i The report SAYS that "the most dts
quoting and perplexing" feature in
the problem OF accident prevention Is
the large proportion Of train accidents
caused by derelietion or duty by the
laNsf IHay1t n lie
sion believes that as a rule there are
no men that have a keener apprecia
ton of their responsibilities than rail-
road trainmen and enginemen," and
yet il Is pointed out that GO per cent
/ OF the whole number of accidents In
xestigated were caused by mistakes or
the part of employees.
i Employees Not Responsible.
There Is disposition in some
quarters continues the report, "te

This is superficial view which con
tains no promise of effective remedy.

You will remember two years ago
we had Farmers Institute Train

quite satisfactory Linton simply
did all she could to make the meet
ing big event. Experience we had
two years ago was so satisfactory to
the railroad company that they have
again offered us the use of another
train. We have accepted the pro-
position and hope to start on the
10th of June.
Our plan this year is to make the
event very much bigger than two
gears ago. We had then six exhi.

now to have 10 or II and instead of
10 to Is lectures we plan to have 20
to 30. Instead of making the exhi-
bits prominent. we are going to
make the lectures prominent. At
each town we hope to have from 40
to GO lectures delivered. The ex-
hibits will largely be illustrative
material. making the lectures prom
inent.
To describe all the things we shall
have on the train will require too
much space in a letter. but nearly
all departments of farm life will be
representative fields. the barns,
orchards and the home. All the de-

lege will be busy getting things in

train equipped in the shops at the

are willing to have US stop with you
it will be necessary to make q cert.

know we have not cent for insti-

has come in from private contribu.

A Miss Chambers, w. C. 7. U.

they will not be disappointed.
Postmaster Zunkel has sent in his
resignation - postmaster at Temvik
- he has been appointed pastor Of
the German Evangelical church at
