DRAGGING STATE ROADS.
Successful Roadmaking Depends Large

Successful Roadmaking Depends Large
ly on CO. operation.
Several of the states which have
realized the great value of the split
log road drag employ this device in
building state roads. Connecticut has
met with great success by the use of
the drag. and few states in the Union
have better roads than Connecticut.
There exists. however, in other states
serious difference of opinion among
authorities as to whether or not the
responsibility of dragging the roads
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1913-10-31

rests solely upon the farmers Shout
ders or whether the state or county
should do this work.
In the last analysis successful road
making depends upon harmonious CO.
operation between individuals and
county, state and national authorities.
We may not have reached the stage
when state aid to the extent of many
millions of dollars is advisable. but
we certainly have reached the stage
when the burden should be taken from
the unsupported shoulders of the
farmer, where it has rested all too
long. The farmer is perfectly willing
to do his share. He simply objects to
the policy which makes his share all
the work and little of the credit or re-
ward. -

SUPT. WATKINS on
new GAMBLING LAW
Calls Attention to the Provisions OF
Same, and Warns Against
Violations.

In communication to the press,
Supt. Watkins of the State Enforce
ment league replies to letters which
he says come to his Office regarding
the new North Dakota gambling law.
He declares that the new law pro-
hibits gambling at fairs, street car
nivals, as we'll as other places. The
law says that ANY house, building,
room, or place where any table,
cards, dice, or any article or appa-
ratus whatever, useful or intended
to be used in playing any game Of
cards or faro, or other game of
chance upon which property or
money is usually wagered, or where
persons resort or are permitted to
resort for gambling"
Supt. Watkins adds: "This is
clear language, and includes all
chance games or the permitting them
in ones place, and the devices and
games where the chance element is
present. The playing of cards, dice
or pool for money or property, or al
lowing the looser to pay for the
game, is gambling, and to allow
these things will endanger the build
ing to be closed.
'No mayor, town board or coun-
Gil, or officers of the law has right
to allow any show or fair or carni-
val to operate any gambling Of any
character whatever, much less to de-
eide that gambling machines are not
gambling machines. Our advice to
those who would outrage the public
is to be on the safe side and keep
well within the law" Z

PRAIRIE CHICKEN SHOOTING
PROMISES TO BE GOOD
Large Kennel ofYoung Dogs in Train.
ing Near Esmond.

Esmond, N. D., July 29.-Prairie
chickens are unusually plentiful in
North Dakota this year. Owing to
the large amount of grain left out
over winter in shocks, the old birds
wintered unusually we'll, and have
set out to raise large families, and
from all sides come cheering reports
regarding the size and number of
the covies. The young birds are also
we'll grown. The season has been
favorable, as there has been very lit
tie hail in the state this season, and
in the absence of destructive hail
storms before Sept. z, the opening
day of the season, there will be some
thrilling sport and some wonderful
feasts of fried prairie chickens to
reward the sportsmen.
A man from Kentucky has over
100 settlers on hand for training in
q, grove on the shore Of Battema lake
west of here. They are being accli-
mated and yard-broben, and after
August Is will be allowed by law to
be trained in the field, after the
birds, no gums. however, being al
lowed to be used until Sept. Z. Some
of them will take part in the field
trials which are to be held in Town
er. N D., this fall.
The season has also been favorable
for young ducks, as the sloughs were
well filled with water last spring,
and every slough has q good supply
Of young mallards and teal. But to
the resident North Dakotan who
owns q good bird dog the sport Of
chicken hunting is so alluring that
the ducks are generally overlooked
at the opening Of the season, when
they are regarded as too tame for.
sport and too soft for feasts.

NEW n. r. POWER
HOUSE IN USE
Latest Equipment in Boilers and Fuel
Economies.

The N. P. company is now using
its new power house, constructed
during the winter and spring. 1t is
onS of the most complete structures
of its kind west of Brainerd and the
equipment is modern in all respects.
Every device and equipment for,
economy of fuel and labor has been
installed. There are two large boil
ers now in place. Of 800 hp. capacity,
and there is room for two more, one
of which will be installed soon. The
firing is done on different basis
than the old plan of, throwing coal
into an open furnace door. Screen
ed and washed coal from Redlodge,
Mont, is now used. It is shoveled
into hoppers in front of the fire box
es and conveyed into the fire box
by means of automatic machinery,
IL lbs. of coal at stroke. There
are no ashes and few clinkers. The
coal is weighed and each "a hours
the amount used is known correctly,
so that the master mechanic can de-
termine what the cost of fuel for the
plant has been during that time. An
automatic steam register shows the
amount Of steam pressure each hour
of tn day or night.
I, The new boilers now furnish steam
to operate all the moving machinery
at the roundhouse. The old boiler
house and engine room will be trans
formed into an additional machine
shop. The new boilers not only OPP
crate all the machinery, but heat the
buildings and furnish steam for the
various pumps that force water
through the buildings and supply
the hot water tanks and engines.
A new fire pump for fire protection
is also operated with steam from
the central boiler.
One of the economies in the new
power house is shown In the con-
struction of smoke stack and con-
meeting apparatus. by which but lit
tie smoke escapes that has not been
consumed. Most of the gasses of the
coal are also burned instead of being
allowed to escape az useless heat
units. A forced draft is secured by
means of fans. An automatic reg
lister alarm gives notice of the depth
of the water in the supply tanks.
A special cinder pit has. been To-
Gated just west of the boiler house.
where the cinders are conveniently
loaded onto cars for removal, and a
coal storage room with six doors OPP
ening into the boiler room is located
in the building south of the boilers,
within easy access Of the firemen.
The new power house has been
built for the future growth as we'll
as the present, and is substantial
brick building giving many addition
al facilities at the roundhouse for the
various departments.
