RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
department Of Agriculture Advises
Cutting Out Of Grades on High
ways TO Save Horses.

NPrepsred by the United States Depart
ment Of Aericuture)
The average life of horses and au-
ffomobiles may be increased and the
cost OF hauling reduced. according to
the ONCE OF roads OF the department
Iof agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out Of new ones. The natural tenden-
lcy in road building is TO build a
straight road, whether il goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine Of the office Of roads Is
that the longest way around may often
he the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently by
building highway around a hill or
grade, but little appreciate distance
Us added and this is more than Offset
by the reduced strain OF hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay
Tag out Of roads on this principle Of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
eases. running the road through good
5arm land or orchards or pastures. in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
WORKOUT fields and over rocky knOlls
This, OF course. must raise a question
in tie mind Of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up OF
ibis property by a road yields him in
.djyiduai advantages and so BENEFITS his
community as to Offset the use OF such
land for road, or to overcome the in
inconvenience OF having his hand d.
v5ded. In this connection the once OF
roads points out that the running Of a
road and the resulting trafbc through

vegetables, has a certain advertising !

ahe land more valuable. In other |
cases, the Importance OF such level |

he has sacrificed to the common well
Hare.
At any rate, the Office OF roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
dhe economic advantage OF avoiding
steep grades In other roads, even at
s0nse sacrifice OF better land Inyes-
xigation shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation of
Darn lines than from scientific atten-
Ron to the problem of road building
According to the testimony Of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road. 1t would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill The size
OF the load, therefore, tends 10 be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market In mum
fber OF cases actual experiment shows
chat the relocating OF roads around
hills has been accomplished either
with no addition in road length in
some instances, and with the adding
.Of only few feet to the highway In
u0theTs. The office knows OF no case
@here properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led To
any question AS to its material reduc-
aiOn OF hauling costs.

STOLE THE ARMY'S MOUNTS
Horse Thieves That Annoyed General
Buell. at Fort Griffin Pursued
and Slain.

Like every other frontier army
post or civilian settlement, Fort
Griffin had troubles of its own, saws
Denver Field and Farm. In 1870
horse stealing had become such a
business as to be numbered among
the infant industries. Old General
Buell. was in command there at the
time and vowed vengeance on the
satellites of the saddle who were
prowling around nights and running
off the government stock. The black
soldiers of the Tenth cavalry always
voted themselves smart enough to
guard Uncle Sans property through
the lonesome vigils of the night, but
they could not outwit the horse
thieves, and the stealing went right
on.
The meanest gang in the country
was that Of Lloyd and Gresham, for
they did a wholesale business every
time they came around. Finally
they got away with over a hundred
head of cavalry mounts one night
when the cayallard was grazing out
side under negro guard. The fol-
lowing morning Lieutenant Hunter
and a company of the buffalo troops
took the trail and Buell's last word
was to bring back the stock or keep
away altogether. Eight miles west
of Fort Griffin they came in the
night to the Canyon Blanco and
lespied the thieves asleep in their
BLANKETS.
At the peep of day the charge was
made and every last one of the gang,
nine of them in all, were shot dead
las they slumbered peacefully on, and
their bodies were left to feed the
prowling coyotes and the carrion
'buzzards. For these riders of the
plains were the men chat God made
mad, for all their words were merry
and all their songs were sad" Life
was a little too short in those days
ito stop and bury horse thieves and
their bones lie bleaching there today
in the happy Texas sunlight.
