thoroughly wet and rolled. Over this
was spread at two-inch course of the
second size. or No. 2 rock, which was
broken so as to pass one and half
inch ring. This course, like the
other, was thoroughly watered and
rolled. After the rolling was COM
pIeted, there was spread evenly over
the surface a small amount of No. B
stone. consisting of the smaller sizes
which pass a three quarter inch
screen. This was rolled dry at first,
but after it had worked down into
the voids in the larger stone, the
whole road was til roughly wet and
rolled. The thickness of this founda-
ton, after rolling, was four inches.
The aggregate in the wearing sur
face consisted of No. 2 stone passing
a one and half inch screen and No.
stone, passing three quarter screen
and containing all the finer PARTICLES
together with the dust of fracture.
AS the basaltic rock used is extreme
ly hard, there was only a very little
of this dust.
The No. 2 and No. 3 stone coming
from the screens was received at the
mixer in charging skip made from
the pan of No. 2 Western wheeled
scraper, which, with some alterations
and additions, was rugged up as a
skip. The stone was heated by the
f1ue gases from a traction engine, a
damper being so arranged as to per-
nit DETECTING the heat at will. Heat
was applied to the stone for from
three to three and half minutes,
which was sufficient to bring the tenn
perature up to $50 degrees f. While
one batch was being mixed, another
charge OF the stone was being pre-

trips of 8, 300 feet each were made in
one day, four cubic yards being haul
ed at each trip. This is equivalent
to hauling four cubic yards sc, 400
feet, or II. 81 miles; or, reduced to
one yard basis, 50.28 miles in one
day. These figures are for one way
only, the hauling being practically all
down hill and the return with empty
wagons up hill. One driver and four
mules were required for each wagon.
Ordinary slat bottom wagons were
used on the same haul, and made
nine trips, or IA. Is miles, in one day,
the figures, as above, being given for
one day only. AS two cubic yards
were hauled at each trip, the figures,
reduced to the same basis as those
for the steel dumping and spreading
wagons, would be lone cubic yard

saving effected by the use of the steel
wagons, therefore, is equivalent to
the cost of hauling one cubic yard,
the difference between 1928 miles
and 49, miles, or 21.98 miles. Be-
sides this, it is stated that a consider
able saving is effected in the cost of
dumping and spreading the stone, as
the entire contents of the courtyard
wagon can be dumped and spread
evenly in from one minute to one and
one half minutes.

added and the mixing completed in
about four minutes, making the total
time required for the heating of the
stone and the mixing of each one
half yard batch from seven to eight
minutes.
The mixture was discharged from
the mixer into a bin and drawn off
by gravity into special steel wagons,
holding four cy. yards. 1t was then
hauled to the road in these wagons
which dumped and spread it auto
matically to the desired thickness.
The oil used was obtained from the
Standard Oil Co., the best results
having been obtained with that COM
pany's 80 per cent oil coming from
Southern California. 1t was received
in steel tank cars, holding 10, gal
Ions each and fitted with steam pipes.
A % III. P. threshing engine boiler
supplied steam for heating the oil to
about 125 degrees F., the temperature
necessary for securing rapid flow.
An excavation about four feet deep
was made outside the track near the
railroad station to enable the tank
wagons to be filed from the cars by
gravity.
During the month of September,
the gas engine supplying power to the
crushing and mixing plant, which
uses gasoline or distilIate, consumed
100 gallons of gasoline, 400 gallons of
distillate and five gallons of lubricat-
ing oil. With this, l, SOB cubic yards
of hard basaltic rock we're crushed
and 772 cubic yards of crushed rock
were mixed with IA, 600 gallons of as
phaltic oil, in the preparation of the
material for the wearing surface.
This is at the rate of Is. 80 gallons of
binder per cubic yard of surface MKT
ure, or 1.58 gallons per square yard
of mixture spread to depth of three
inches loose and rolled down to two
inches. On account of the heavy
hauling that the road is expected to
carry, the wearing surface was laid to
a depth of g.. inches loose and rolled
to thickess of 81 inches when finish
ed.
This work cost III cents per square
yard more than an ordinary water
bound macadam road would have cost.
This figure includes the cost of oil,
demurrage on tank cars, hauling,
mixing, engine hire, fuel and all other
expenses over and above the cost of
the usual water bound macadam.
The oil cost 4. 43 cents per gallon I. o.
b. Maryhill. The cost of the four
inch stone foundation, including the
cost of quarrying, crushing, hauling,
rolling and laying, ready for the as
phaltic wearing surface, was SIS cents
per square yard, and the cost of the
two and half inch wearing surface
was 80 cents per square yard, as above
described, except that this includes
the cost of the rock and hauling.
This makes the total cost 90.8 cents
per square yard for the finished road,
six and one half inches thick.
The wagons used in hauling and
spreading the stone, invented by
Professor Lancaster, are of steel,
having capacity of four cubic yards.

there has never been any doubt as to his
being asked to succeed himself for many
years to come. Yet the rumor was start
ed some weeks ago that new man would
be chosen for the position, though there
was absolutely no foundation for such a
report.
Hermann came into base ball just
eleven years ago. 1t was he who paved
the way for peace between the two major
leagues, and it was largely due to the
carrying out of his ideas that the game
has prospered SO remarkably during the
last ten years or SO.

has filled the position of chairman Of the

ner, and there is not a player or club
owner in the game today who lacks i'm
pIicit confidence in the head of the COM
mission. If the day ever comes when
Hermann can not head the commission,
base ball will suffer a severe blow. It
has been due largely to his diplomacy
that the supreme court of base ball has
been free from friction, and it will not
be an easy matter to find his successor.

Fred Taral and Frank O'Neil Return
From Germany.

NEW YORK, November 25.-Fred Ia
raj, one of Americas foremost Jockeys
of generation ago and now trainer for
the Weinberg stable, in Germany, which
totaled $4,000 in winnings during the
past season. arrived in this city yester-
day aboard the North German Lloyd liner
George Washington. .Taral stated that
the last season was the most profitable
he had enjoyed abroad.
With him was Frank ONeil who rode
800 races for w. X. Vanderbilt during
the past season, and led the list of win
ming riders. 1t is said that ONeil' s
great number of mounts is a world $
record. He won 162 races, Taral be-
lieves that o Neil is the greatest jockey
on the turf. and recently offered him Il

per cent of his winnings to ride for

took part in. Ray Caldwell, who did not
play In half as many games as johnson,
also had clean slate. Johnson has
developed into splendid fielder Of late
years. At the outset of his career in the
big league fielding was his greatest
weakness. It was because Of his inabil
ity to field bunts that Johnson lost many
games the first few years he was here,
which would have been easy victories had
he been a better fielder.
But by hard work Johnson acquired
the art OF handling the ball in the field
he puts In hours at practice every day
that he Is not expected to work from the
slab. and the result is that he has sue
ceeded in perfecting himself.
1t is the judgment of most players that
Johnson would have been a star in base
ball regardless of what position he might
have adopted. He is natural fielder
In both the in and outfields, and if play
ed regularly would undoubtedly develop
into wonderful hitter.
A record Of five hits in one game was
made by each Of seven players in the big
leagues last season. Five of the men
were members of the National League

be a rather remarkable turn of affairs
for the Light Blue and White to win,

for this to happen would only be in ac-

it would probably be the greatest sur
