THE ROAD DRAC;
HOW TO MAKE.IT
Department Of Agriculture
Gives Advice.
INEXPENSIVE FOR UpkEEp.
The Drag is Recommended For Roads
That Have Been Partially Improved,
That Have Been Crowned or Drained,
but Have No Hard Surface.

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture the road drag,
properly used, gives the needed crown
to the road, smoothes out ruts and
other irregularities, spreads out pud-
dies Of water and thereby accelerates
the drying of the road and makes the
surface more or less imperviOus to
water by smearing over the so called
pores in the earthly material. The
cost depends. of course. upon local con-
ditions and the thoroughness with
which the work is done. 1t is safe to
say. however. that it is less expensive
than any other efficient system OF up
keep.
In it's simplest form the road drag
consists of an ordinary log split in half

Theodo,sia Burr.

Theodosia Burr perished at sea
somewhere between Charleston, s..
c., and Norfolk, Va, probably off
Cape Hatteras, N. G. All sorts of
legends have arisen about the last
days Of the beautiful woman, but
beyond the fact that on or about
Jan. 4, 1873, she left Charleston for
New York, to meet her father,
Aaron Burr. nothing is known Of
her.a She disappeared. and of the.
place or manner Of her death. be-
yond the fact that she was lost at
sea. we know absolutely nothing

and the two halves connected like the
uprights of a ladder by means of cross
sticks or rungs. The log should be
about seven or eight inches in diane
ter and from six to eight feet In
length.
1t is better to have it of we'll sea-
soned, hard. tough wood. The two
semicylindrical halves of the log form
the runners If the drag and are usual
ly spaced from thirty to thirty-six
inches apart. The front runner is al
ways placed with the split surface Of
the wood facing forward. but the rear
runner sometimes has its rounded face
In front. This is done in order to in
crease the smearing action Of the drag
as it passes over the surface Of the
rOld.
The two runners are not placed d.
rectly behind each other. but are ..'0f-
SET" as it Is called. from about twelve
to sixteen inches. This is done. be-
cause the drag is drawn over the road
at an angle sufficient to make the
runners free themselves Of the sur
face which they scrape. The amount
of this angle or skew depends. of
course, upon the condition Of the road.
BY offsetting the runners it is possible
to make their ends follow approx
mately the same line on the roRd,
which they would not do If they were
set directly behind each other and the
drag drawn ut an angle with the road.
In order to provide standing room for
the man it is usual to nail two boards
down upon the rungs parallel to the
runners. Standing upon these, skill
full driver will bear his weight in such
way as to materially aid in the sue
cessful operation of the drag.
The drag is drawn by chain which
should be about eight feet long. This
can be fastened by eye bolts to each
end of the front runner. or one end of
the chain can be passed through the
hole at the discharge end of the front
runner and the other end looped over
the rung Mt the cutting end of the
runner. 1t is important that the hitch
ing link should be so designed that
its position can be changed readily.
1t Is also desirable to provide metal
cutting edge for the front runner. This
can be made from strip of iron or
steel. and old wagon tires have fire.
luently proved satisfactory
The cost of such drag varies from
50 to perhaps $40 or S12 This prac-
tically insignificant outlay will secure
an implement that will be Of great
service to the community for at least
three or four years. The fact cannot
be overlooked. however. that skill in
the use of the drag is indispensable.
The angle that the runners make
with the center line of the road-the
skew angle it might be called-is an
important factor. For example, IL the
dragging is done to increase the crown
Of the road the drag should be sufi-
.ciently skewed to discharge all mate
rial as rapidly as it is collected on the
runners. On the other hand. the con-
dittons may be such that 1t is desira-
BILE to carry along this material In or
der to deposit 1t where there are de-
pressiOns in the roads surface.
As to the time for dragging. a safe
rule to follow is to drag the road when
the material composing the surface
contains sufficient moisture to com
pact readily, but is not sufficiently vet
for trafac to produce mud.

FACES IN PHOTOGRAPHS.
The Camera Does Not Always Record
a1ruthful Story.

The Camera Does Not Always Record
Truthful Story.
We face the camera to get a
truthful record of what we look
like, but the result in most cases is
picture not nearly so good looking
as we really are. So persistently
does the camera cheat us out OF
whatever claims we may have to
beauty that there is serious danger
of our descendants comparing our
looks unfavorably with those of our
own ancestors.
When our ancestors wanted their
portraits made they went to artists
who knew how to diminish the de-
fects of their sitters. But we have
to rely on the camera, which, in
stead of flattering us the least bit,
does just the opposite.
In spite of all the wonders Of
modern photography and the fact
that many photographers are not
only masters of their trade, but
artists in the true sense of the word,
the cry, 81 just can't get a good
photograph" is frequently heard.
The real reason is that the cam
era is too speedy-it registers too
brief an expression. The portrait
painter seldom took less than six
sittings, lasting an hour each. This
meant that the impression on his
canvas was coordination of six
hours observation. The photogra-
pher rarely gives as much as half
a minute to single negative.
The result of photography is
therefore 1870 times as incomplete.
When, moreover, we remember that
the six hours spent while sitting
for portrait, or the thirty seconds
for photograph, represents only a
small fraction of our lives and that
we may often have hundred diff
ferent moods an hour, it is no won
der that photographs SO often fail
to look like us.
To a very great extent the diff
Guilty of getting a good photograph
is compliment. Those people who
''take' good photographs are gen.
orally those in whom facial express
sion either changes very little or
changes very much. The subtler
and more delicate expressions do
not appear in a photograph, and
frequently it is those by which we
are remembered rather than by
some of the actual weaknesses of
feature which the camera so faith
fully records. The greatest of all
virtues is charity, but the camera
has no charity-and it is often a
liar.-New York American.
Sorry She Spoke.
How some actresses love one an
other! Recently two of the best
known comedy actresses in London
have been engaged in plays which
have failed to hit the public taste.
Meeting at supper the other
night, the elder of the two ladies,
taking the other tenderly in her
arms, said, with forced cheerful
ness. "Well, dear, l think we can
congratulate one another Oh being
engaged in the two greatest failures
of the century,"

CONTRACT lWARDED

Late this afternoon the board OF
directors of the Nevada Fair com.
mission awarded the contract for
erecting the Nevada building at
San Francisco to Alfred S. Cough
OF. Goldfield. The award, however,
was made in the condition that he
only employ Nevada labor where's yer
practicable. The bid of McGinty
& Son, the lowest bid was rejected
on the ground that they were not
bona fde Nevada contractors as
defined by the statute authorizing
the construction of the building
and on the further ground that
the elder McGinty had been de-
clarcd an unfair employer by the
trade council Of Reno and would be
debarred from employing union
labor. The bid of Gallagher was
turned down as it WIS regarded he
represented California contractors.
Coughs bid was $23, 3OO.-Appeal.

SENIOR STUNT NIGHT

We were disappointed last night
in not being able to get into the
Opera House to attend the exer-
cises of the Senior class of the high
school. Being a few minutes late
we found the outside doors locked.
After waiting a few minutes for
them to open, we started home but
had not gone far before the doors
we're opened and those waiting
were let in and the doors were
locked again before we could get
there.
Not hearing the exercises We are
not able to speak of them from
personal knowledge, but from those
who did attend we learn that the
exercises passed off smoothly and
that the seniors acquitted them
selves credihly. We regret that
we cannot give them q better
notice.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the inlamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
