AJAX SIMEL STOCKS UP

A recent arrival from the Innoko river informs the Pioneer that Max Simel, the Diskaket and Ophir City trader, is busy these days freightlng Q large and fresh supply of merchandise up the river for his two stores For years Max has been known to have plenty of everything always In stock, but last winter proved an exception, for by the time navigation was fairly open this spring his warehouses had the appearance of utter goneness. Everything in Mr. Simel's stores is fresh from the Outside, and the prices he quotes on miners outfits will make these goods sell as fast as those of last winter. Mr. Simel will probably not be able to make his annual visit to this city this summer owing to rush of business affairs.

it was not until a pure, natural btu
men was used that this waste was
stopped.
Very often politicians discourage
road building. When highway con-
struction was started in nearly all of
the leading road building states it was
more or less Of an experiment with the
materials used. 1t was found that there
were .jokers' in some of the specifi-
cations, and many contracts were
"skimped" by the builders. The polit-
icaI organizations, contractors and a
few chosen others profited at the ex-
pense of the people.
When it was seen that the roads
were fast going to pieces, under the
constant pounding and pulling of
heavy traffic. there was a howl from
the public and an investigation was
started. In addition to showing that
favoritism existed it was also brought
out that the materials, were not IN to
the standards necessary for a perma-
nent road. The education which was
gained through these Investigations
had it's effect in the letting of city paw
ing contracts and the selection of only
those products which would not only
meet the traffic requirements of the
present but those Of the future as well.
Cheap pavements and cheap roads
are not considered good investments
by those who are best capable of
judging. Maintenance upon them is
usually excessively heavy and no mat
ter how much is expended on a cheap
pavement or road 1t always remains a
poor and sometimes an impossible
highway

Politics Should Not
Enter Road Building

That it is not well to mix politics
with the highway work which is
planned in North Dakota seems to be
the universal sentiment of all advo-
Gates of better highways. 4
Fargo apostles of better roads have
declared for a clean, business Like adj
m"lnlstration Of all matters pertaining
to this work and this sentiment has
spread all yer the state.
The close study OF road and paving
conditions which is being made by
state and city engineers, as well as by
citizens who urge the building of state
roads, will be helpful in carrying to a
successful elimination the suggestions
made in the highway bill of Senator
Hughes which will be acted upon by
the legislature next week. In other
states graft has been more or less as
ISOLATED with oad building and city
paving The materials have been
found to be lacking in qualities which
make a durable, dustless highway or
boulevard and in many instances the
work of the contractor has been of the
makeshift order.
Many places in this state are about
to build roads without doing business
through a clique of politicians. 1t is
believed that this system will reVolu-
tionize the paving and road business
and give the people, who must pay the
bills, more for their money. The use
of blown oils and paraffines and other
highly distilled materials has proven
costly to many cities and states be-
cause it has been found that they are
without ductility and have not the
necessary cementing qualities to bind
the street or road properly. This ex-
p%erience was universal in the east and

BY those who know it, It is admit
ted that North Dakota is going into
the road building business on a scien-
tific basis and that the mistakes which
were made elsewhere will not be made
here. The specifications OF New York
state, where natural lake asphalt is
used as a binder for the stone n al
so for sheet asphalt surfaces, are now
in the hands of the city engineers and
the state highway authorities n the
information which can be CLEANED from
these specifications will be helpful in
the work which is planned here.
The building of a state highway
from Fargo to the Montana line, as
recommended by Senator Hughes,
would bring thousands of tourists into
this city every yea and the money
which these visitors would spend
would help contribute towards the
prosperity of every business merchant,
This highway would stimulate the
building of connecting highways and
serve as a stimulus in the developing
of a comprehensive road system.
Unless highway work is lone under
state authority very little is accom-
plished. Township organizations full
fill a local want and with the materials
and machinery at hand oftentimes per-
form good work, but it is purely of a
local nature. Oftentimes money is
wasted because of the lack of expert
ence. The system of paying road tax
eS in labor is not considered a benefit
to any county or state and the recon-
mendation that the taxes be paid in
cash has met with general approval.
The farmers would be the ones who
would profit most by good roads At
present the state has very few good
