Washington.-That the Borah three
year homestead bill, II enacted into
law as 1t passed the House. would be
interpreted by the General Land Office
as applicable to all pending homestead
entries. including those under the 800.
acre act. was made clear at o meeting
OF the conferees on the Borah meas.
ure.
In answer to the direct question Of
Representative Mondell. the secretary
of the interior told the committee that
unqucstionably II the Borah bill, as 1t
passed the House was enacted into
law, he would consider its terms suf-
ficiently definite to apply to all pend
ing homesteads, including the enlarged
homestead.
During the general discussion it de-
veloped that considerable pressure
would be exerted to have the commit
tee agree to the amendments rejected
by the House. rcserving mineral and
water-power sites and certain timbered
areas. While the House conferees are
opposed to these amendments, from
what developed at the hearing 1t
seems reasonably certain that the Sen.
ate conferees may insist on amending
the bill to at least partially meet the
suggestions of the secretary. The
committee will hold another session in
a week or ten days.

THE MUD NUISANCE ON
OILED MACADAM ROADS.
A Question That 10 Perplsxino Road
Engineers.

With the coming OF summer mu.
nicipal engineers have brought again
before them the perplexing question
which has been giving many Of them
gray hairs for several seasons past:
What shall we do this season to cope
with the dust nuisance on macadamized
streets?
Probably the most generally adopt
ed plan has been the sprinkling Of the
macadam with some asphaltic oil. 1t
has been demonstrated that where
horse drawn traffic does not predomi-
nate such sprinkling is success In
preventing disintegration and undue
wear by building up rubbery traffic
mat on top of the stone.
But in escaping from the chorus OF
complaints of the dust nuisance the
engineer runs foul Of new set Of pro-
tests from indignant citizens who find
carriage varnish, clothing and floor
coverings ruined by the black, greasy
mud which covers these roads after
every hard rain.
The cause Of this nuisance has been
variously explained, but the condition
has seldom been remedied. 1t has now
been shown that asphaltic oils and wa
ter will form an emulsion whenever
colloidal matter like clay Is added.
This is what happens to the asphalt
bound traffic mat under the soaking of
rain and the kneading Of traffic. Con-
siderable loan and litter are carried
on to the road in the course Of Ordi-
nary traffic, and the rain and wheels
complete the process. After the rain
has ceased the emulsion gradually dries
out. and the traffic mat eventually be-
comes as effective as before, but It Is
again converted to mud by the next
heavy storm. When the mat contains
Z large proportion Of bitumen and Is
dense and rubbery this emulsifying Is
delayed, but only delayed When the
mat grows older and so much dirt and
litter have been ground into 1t that the
proportion Of bitumen Is lowered, then
its earlier water shedding qualities are
lost and its surface Is Shiny, slippery
and nasty after every shower.
Several remedies are conceivable,
but practical objections arise to all Of
them. For instance. before applying
the binder great care must be paid to
removing the last traces Of fine dust
and litter and in throwing on gravel.
small stone or screenings as filler.
The finest dust Is to be discarded.
Moreover. this filler must be Of ma.
terial not easily reduced to an impal-
pable powder under traffic. Every
means must be taken to prevent the
carriage Of dirt and litter on to the
traffic mat, as by providing frequent
" cleaned approaches. The I'M
avoidable accumulations Of dirt and
litter must be removed before each
storm. More oil should perhaps be
added from time to time during the
season to keep the bitumen percentage
high and the water shedding qualities
Of the mat unimpaired. The expense
involved in these measures is obvious.
So impractical, therefore, seem all
the present eXpedients for preventing
this greasy mud that the trouble seems
like a necessary wet weather evil of
oiled macadam.
