THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROADS
By the U. S. Office of Public Roads

If you look at the ordinary country
road after a shower, you will see
small puddles along the wheel ruts
and sometimes larger pools. This
water stays on the road surface be-
cause it cannot drain away into the
bitches. If you look closely you
will see side bitches which have grown
up with bushes and weeds in many
cases, and which are so far from the
travelled part of the road that the rain
water does not drain into them. That
part of the roadway where the wagons
prevent water from standing on the
travelled way the road should be raised
in the center and should slope gently
into broad, shallow bitches. 1t is
then said to have a crown. If it is
10 feet from the center of the road to
the side ditch, the surface at the side
er than it is at the center where the
horses travel. The road then has a 10
inch crown. The rain that falls on a
road properly crowned will run quick
ly to the side and not soak into the
surface or form pools. The side ditch
es for surface water should run paral-
lei to the right of way, and should be
open at every low point so that the
water can run out of them into neigh
boring brooks or streams. If the
bitches merely collect the water from
the road surface and it cannot run
away, large pools will be formed along
the roadsides, which will gradually
soak into the soil beneath the road
and make it so soft that the wheels of
wagons will cut through the road sur
face and soon destroy it.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road and
forms little stream down the wheel
tracks or in the middle where the
horse travels. When driveways into
farm yards are built across the side
bitches they frequently form channels
for water from the farm yard to run
into the road. The pipes under drive
ways become filled with leaves or rub
'bish and the water can no longer run
away. If the driveways that stop the
ditch water were rebuilt so that no
pipes were necessary and the ditch
could be left open, much trouble from
surface water would be stopped
Sometimes a road runs across low
ground Or through swamp where the
road can not be drained by side ditch
es alone. If the road were built high
er like a railroad embankment across
such low land and made with crown,
it would be dry and hard. Sometimes
a road passes through what is called
cut. This is place where the earth
has been dug out so that the road can
go over hill without being too steep.
The water which always flows quietly
under the ground on hillsides is known
as ground water. In road cuts such
water sometimes makes the road very
muddy, and the road then needs what
road builders call undertakings. A
good kind of underdrainage is a
trench to go along under the side
drain and about three feet deep and

Denver, Nov. 2.-Indications now
point to the fact that the fifty odd
tents put up by the officials of the
United Mine Workers of America in
the tent colony just east of the Lyden
mine to house the striking miners,
Will not be needed. An order was
given to miners employed in this
mine, operated by the Tramway COM
pany and Senator Thomas Patterson,
to walk out Monday, but less than
half dozen obeyed the injunction.
There are employed in this mine
nearly 200 men.
The output of this property has
done much to keep Denver supplied
with coal during the present strike,
while considerable of it is used by
the city. Repeated efforts in the
past have been made to force the
company to recognize the union. All
attempts thus far, however, have fail
ed, hence the strike order. The Of
ficials of the miners union are con-
ltinuing their efforts to bring the men
out of this mine, but it is believed
that few of them VII quit work
Discussing the general strike sit
uation in Colorado Governor Ammons
today said that conditions appeared
brighter to him now than at any
time since he undertook to settle am
icably the differences between oper-
ators and miners. He believes that
both sides have confidence in his sin
cerity in the matter and from now
on will heartily cooperate with him
in speedily settling the troubles.
When the disarmament of both strik-
ers and guards was first promulgated
there was indication that attempts
would be made by both to evade the
ultimatum. one side fearing that the
other would attempt to deceive it in
the matter of laying down arms Now
however, there seems to be more
friendly feeling on both sides that 1t
is best to obey the governors order
and give up their guns. The COVER
nor scays that all information he has
been able to get from the front tends
to show a willingness of both the
miners and the guards to peaceably

Council to Urge
Shatroth to Glue
100000 for P.O.

The city commissioners will act on
suggestion made to them yesterday
that they urge on Senator Shafroth
the need of 100000 additional for
the construction of the proposed fed
eral building in this city. AS the
building situation stands today the
city must get more money or else
cheaper the present plans to come
within the 100000 appropriation.
Bids for the construction of the
building have been rejected because
they exceed the fund available for the
purpose.
In order to aid the building, Ssn.
Shafroth has introduced a measure to
give the city $4,000 for the build
ing. This can be made 100000 just
as easily and it is generally felt that
this sum will he necessary.
The actual needs of the government
offices in this city as they stand to-
day are not taken care of in the plans
for the present building and it seems
very probable indeed additional quar-
ters will have to be secured for some
of the offices if the plans are not in
creased.
Supervising Architect Wenderoth
has expressed the opinion that more
money is needed for the Grand juno
ton office 1t is up to Senator Shaf-
roth and the commissioners are go
ing to urge him to increase the ap-
preparation and give the city the
money out of his net apportionment.

Mr.. Taylor is of the opinion that
the measure will meet with general
approval in both houses. 1t has the
approval of the secretary of the in

islation Is inevitable and must be ac-

The Japanese embassy officials here

believed they regard this last measure
as far less offensive than the original
Webb bill.
Most Of the agricultural lands in
California cultivated by japanese are
held under lease and the property oc-
cupied as residences and business
houses by japanese Is especially eX-
empted from eschewtment so that the
pecuniary damage caused by the act
would be reduced TO a minimum by

that by recognizing the validity OF
