Harry Wallace
 New Deputy

A change was made in the Dep uty U. 5. Marshal ship for Wran- gell this month, Mr, Harry Wall- ace succeeding w. D. Grant who sent in his resignations to the de- partment a couple of weeks ago. Deputy Marshal Wallace needs no introduction to the citizens of Wrangell having been Deputy Mardhal here during the term from 1894 to 1867 and has been a con- tinuous resident of the city ever since. MT. Wallace is a democrat of the old school, and with stand ing above reproach and Wrangell is indeed fortunate in having him as a successor to MT. Grant
 As to the resignations of Mir. Grant nothing can be said as he has made good and faithful officer this making the second time he has acted as deputy for Wrangell, and the reason for his resignation are his political Views, being a gooq republican, and serving under g Democratic administrator.

HE CALLS IT CRUELTY
Live SparrOws Fed to Snakes

The city is guilty of cruelty to ami
mails in feeding live sparrows to the
snakes in the Gage park zoo, SO Kill
maurs King, of the Foster Humane
He called on w. L. Porter, city COM
missioner of parks. today to give the
commissioner his views on how the
animals should be cared for at Gage
park. Besides the objection to present
conditions, Mr.. King thinks the ami
mails should be made more comfort
able, especially does he believe that
they should be given more shade.
At the park a sparrow trap fs used
to catch part of the boards of spar
rows that swoop down and devour the
feed scattered for the other birds and
poultry in the park. The big snakes
need live food. In captivity reptiles
frequently refuse to eat and forced
feeding is often resorted to. That,
however, is not necessary where live
food is offered.
Il have seen the captured sparrows
frightened and fluttering as the snakes
were advancing on them. or course
those sparrows knew what was going
to happen to them and there is NO

With good binding or cementing
gravel satisfactory roads may be made
by surfacing the prepared earth sub
grade with one or two layers of this
material. The earth road is first
shaped with road machine, and If
possible, rolled with an eight or ten
ton roller. The earth foundation
should be crowned but slightly The
material is spread in one, two or three
layers to a total depth of from to 10
inches in the center and from four to
six inches at the sides, gradually d.
minishing in depth to feather edge
toward the side bitches. The depth
Of gravel will depend upon the traffic
and. to some extent, on the material
as well as the earth subgrade.
Some varieties of gravel must be
sprinkled and rolled before they will
consolidate, while others bind we'll I'M
der ordinary traffic. Sometimes a good
practice is to apply the gravel in
wet weather. or to wet the gravel be.
fore it is applied to the road. In some
cases little clay or loan will hasten
the binding process. Care should be
taken, however, not to use too much
clay or loan, as these will soften in
wet weather. An excess of clay makes
the road dusty in summer and muddy
in winter
II it becomes necessary to build the
road without roller or sprinkler, the
work should be done in the spring Of
the year before the rains have ceased.
The traffic will pack the material
much better then than in the summer
or fall.
The width Of the gravel road will
depend upon traffic conditions. 1t
should be surfaced to a width of at
least IL feet, and if possible, to width
of from IA to 16 feet. A narrow strip
of gravel will wear out much more
quickly than one which is a little
wider. If the road is surfaced to a
width of 16 feet, then the center of the
road should be from five to eight
inches higher than the outside edge
of the gravel. This is sufficient for
drainage. If the crown is higher than
about an inch to the foot, the traffic
will be forced to the center OF the
road and cause it to wear more
quickly.
The cost of building gravel roads
varies greatly in different parts Of
the country, depending principally on
the distance materials are hauled and
the cost of labor and teams. So far
as can be ascertained, the average
cost of building $4,000 miles of gravel
road in Indiana was $1473 per mile
The average cost of building 237 miles
of gravel road in New Jersey was
$2,425 per mile The New Jersey
roads were surfaced to an average
width of 1873 feet and an average
depth of 8.4 inches. The average cost
of building 70 miles in Connecticut
was $3,741 per mile. The Connecticut
roads were surfaced to an average
width of 1915 feet and to depth Of
8.3 inches

APPLYING LIME TO THE SOIL
Most Important Point to Be Observed
Is to Mix 1t Thoroughly--Have
Particles Very Fine. +

Some writer's recommend that upon
old, messy meadows and pastures,
lime should be applied to the surface
before blowing, in order that it may
help to quickly decompose the organ
ic matter.
The main objection to this practice.
writes r. D. Perry in Perdue Agri.
culturist, is that the lime does, not
become well incorporated in the soil,
and since some of it is turned to the
bottom of the furrow and its tendency
at all times is to work downward. 1t
may be quickly carried not only away
from the surface soil, but also from
the reach of the plants.
. The practice of lining such soils
Immediately after blowing and then
thoroughly narrowing has been at
tended by excellent results. A most
important point to be observed in ap-
plying lime of all kinds is to mix it
with the soil as thoroughly as pos
sible, the finer the particles the better
the results.

A properly located and well-drained
earth foundation is the prerequisite of
a good gravel road, says the Office of
public roads. department of agricul-
ture. 1t is waste of material and
labor to apply gravel to the surface
of road which is full of ruts and
holes. A smooth, solid foundation is
just as necessary as in macadam con-
struction.
There are so many kinds of gravel
that it is almost impossible to lay
down principles Of construction. which
will hold good in all cases. A road
building gravel should bind well. The
qualities of hardness and toughness
are important, but not so important as
the cementing value. The angular
gravels with square, sharp fractures
are the best. Water-worn creek or
river gravel, which is round and clean,
will seldom produce a satisfactory
wearing surface. Such material may,
however, be used for :. foundation and
bonded with a layer Of suitable pit
gravel.
Two deposits of gravel are seldom
found which are exactly alike When
there are several pits to choose from,
hand samples should be selected from
each and carefully examined and if
possible test made to ascertain the
icementing value Of each. BY separat-
Ing the gravel. sand and clay a fair
idea OF the relative value Of each
may be ascertained. II there is still

the wearing quality of each.

hand or power screen. Gravel roads
built of screened gravel are usually
superior to those built of unscreened
gravel, although there are exceptions
to this rule.
When the gravel is separated, tho
coarse is used for the foundation, the
medium sized pieces for the wearing
course, and the fine gravel and dust
for the binder as in regular macadam
construction. If there is an excess of
earth, sand, or clay. as is often the
case, these can and should be removed
by screening.
An outfit consisting of q gasoline
engine. hopper. elevator, revolving
screen and medium sized bins for three
sizes of gravel will cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,000. For a small addi-
tional outlay drum and cable may be
attached to the engine with which to
operate a bucket conveyor to carry
the gravel from the pit to the hopper.
There are many different methods
of building gravel roads in use in va
rious parts of the country Most Of
them, however, are built without meth.
cd or plan. Some fail because
the material is poor, but the majority
of the failures is due to the fact that
the material is not properly applied to
the road.
The following are the principal
causes of failure First: poor mate
rial; round water-worn gravel; too lit
tie binder or too much sand. earth
or clay. Second: unstable founda-
tions; placing gravel on surfaces filed
with ruts and holes. Third: poor drain
age; too fiat, or too high in the mid
die, side bitches too deep or not deep
enough, culverts which are too small,
or which are laid so fiat that they are
soon filed with silt or trash. Fourth:
spreading gravel in dry weather
dumping it in piles and leaving it for
the traffic to spread Fifth: making
the road too narrow to accommodate
the traffic, or so narrow that wagons
will track and soon cut the surface
into ruts. Sixth: failure to keep ruts
and holes filed with gravel
