HEART OF THE PINE BELT
Healthfulness of Brentwood
Chiefly Due to Soil.

II Is not generally known that from
Maine almost TO Florida there stretches a
broken belt OF pine groves I'm which are
located most OF the health resorts along
the Atlantic Coast. such as Aiken. 5. c.;
Lakewood y. j.. and Brentwood. Long
Island
The pine grove in which Brentwood is
located is something more than fifty miles
In circumference. and most OF IL is COW
cred by the little struggling village.
Brentwood has been known for many
years as a health resort. the secret Of Its
success being the possession OF a remark
able soil
This soil contains neither rock nor mo-
rass. but is fine brown loan from two 20
four feet deep. and closely resembles the
English market garden lands. Exact
tests have been made at Brentwood 10 a
/ depth OF nearly sixty feet. and after
passing the surface layer Of loan the
drill goes through fine gravel FOR over
thirty feet. when fine sand. like that on
the beaches. is found carrying the under
ground water currents. On such "A soil no

PAVING AT MAPLET0N
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily. - Is's.
There are certainly things doing
in Mapleton these days, the most
prominent being the paving of Main
street, says The Enterprise. The
contract is in the hands of ID. M.
Radichei of the North Star Concrete
company of Mankato, and certainly
there can be no dissatisfaction this
far with the manner in which the
work is in progress. Operations
were started Monday morning exca-
waiting some ten inches of the street.
For this purpose Western elevated
grader is used, operated by August
Nienow's big twenty-five horse pow
er steam engine This grader plows
up and loads into wagons a yard of
earth every five minutes. 1t can dig
up the earth even faster than that,
but sufficient number of teams to
carry away the dirt were not obtain
able. AS it was eight teams were
used when double that number could
have been utilized Mr.. Radichel
also had three extra teams engaged
in hauling gravel from the cars
These men and teams are being paid
81 per day while the other help is
receiving So per day, some twelve
men. being engaged and others are
still to be added as the work pro-
crosses. The excavating was prac-
tically completed by Thursday noon
and work on the curb and gutter
started. Yesterday the work of lev
/ cling and rolling was inaugurated
For this purpose big tandem roll
er is used weighing five tons. 1t is
the opinion of the contractor that
the curbing and gutter will be COM
pleted inside of week and as soon
as that is in the work of laying the
paving will be proceeded with as fast
)as the big mixer can turn out the
concrete and men and teams can put
the same in place
