GRAVEL TO SURFACE ROADS
With Good Material and q Little Atten-
tlon Highways Should Last
for Several Years.

By z. b. HOUSE. Colorado Experiment
6tation.l
There has been much agitation dur
ing the past year concerning the sur
facing of our principal roads and as
in many parts OF the state we find de-
posits OF gravel 1t seems that this is
the material which may be economical
ly used. A few words concerning the
construction OF these roads may not
be out of place.
First of all the construction should
be such that the gravel is confined and
held in position on the road. This Is
accomplished by so grading the earth
foundation that shoulders are formed
at the sides The earth forming the
shoulders should be we'll compact and
solid, otherwise they will fail in the
function required Of them. Loose earth
thrown up from the ditch at the sides
of the road will not answer the pur-
pose unless moistened and rolled with
a seven or ten-ton roller.
The whole surface of the earth foun-
dalton should be graded to the required
form and compact with the roller and
the gravel then spread in layer about
four inches thick. in the center and
two and one-half inches at the side.
Enough sand or loan is then added to
make the gravel bind" well. this Is
mixed with the gravel with a harrow
and the layer is then sprinkled and
rolled until solid. Another layer Of
gravel il then spread over the first and
treated In the same way. The result
is a graveled surface IL feet wide and
six inches thick at the center and three
and one-haif inches thick at the sides
and II the gravel is OF a good quaiit,
this road with little attention shouis
last for years.

Grave DRESDEN
CAPTAIN AND CREW,
(D. B. Jones in Tennessean. }

Since the German cruiser Dresden
is before the public eyes as the last
Of the German warships that en-
countered the British squadron De-
cember 9Th, off the Falkland islands,
and was safe at last accounts, | am
prompted to relate an instance hap
pening last summer while the ORES.
den, together with a British warship
and several American warships, were
anchored at Tampico, Mexico.
When the anti-American feeling
grew strongest IN the gates of the
city of Tampico, a mob was formed,
adopting as their slogan. death to
the 'Gringos." They went through
the streets shouting insults to Amer
lean women and avowing their bitter
intentions to kill. They surrounded
the Southern hotel (the American
headquarters) and decided to assault
the American women and kill the
men and children. The doors of the
hotel were barred and the men with
rifles stationed in patio snd balcony
we're ready to shoot the first greaser
that entered. The brave American
women stood by their husbands like
a stonewall urging them to be calm,
but to shoot when the doors came in.
1t seemed that the doors couldn't
withstand another rush by the MUIR
derous mob, but fortunately they re-
peatedly tried in vain to crash them
in. But thanks to God, Captain
Kohler of the much spoken of Ger
man cruiser Dresden, ordered two
officers to go ashore and give orders
to the mob to dispense in fifteen min
utes, or else he would land marines.
The Mexican people thoroughly real
izing the significance of the shining
epauIets or the shoulders of the two
German officers, took notice at the
first command and dispersed in order.
The American men, women and
children were taken aboard the
Dresden and were afterwards trans
ferred to dirty oil boats, which were,
of course, unprepared to accommo-
date them. Nevertheless, they
reached Galveston alive.
Over three hundred Americans
owe their lives to the gallant Cap
tain Kohler of the Dresden for TAX
ing action in their behalf, and they
watch with intense interest the for
tune of the brave captain and crew.

of court some one seeks to have a
serious charge made against some

spIit-Log Drag.

The drag not only smooths the road,
but crowns 1t and puddles the mud SO
that It is hard when dry.
These drags have been used with
great success on clay or water-holding
soils. Many stretches of black gumbo
roads in the West are maintained by
the use of this implement alone.
Every farmer should own one, and
after rain he should spend few
hours on the road adjacent to his
farm. II there are many depressions
to fill. the drag should be used when
the road Is wet.
After 1t has been used long enough
to make the road fairly smooth. the
drag gives the best results II used
when the earth begins to dry.

should lie at an angle of 45 degrees
