feet wide, 70.barrells TO the mile. at
a cost Of $50 barrel of ~ gallons
Then put two inches of the natural
sand over it and roll it hard with a
roller The cheapest way to cover it
is to leave ridge of sand both sides
Of the nine foot strip with the road
grader, or else to distribute it with
the grader over the oil and then roll
it again hard.
The more you roll it the better.
The traffic will soon work the oil
and mix it with the sand. 1t then be-
comes like a cinder road. There will
be no chuck holes, no dust, no mud.
It will be easy travelling for autos
aud teams.
Such road should be oiled once
every year. The cost is SO little that
all the roads can be made good and
all the peopa, benefited. The total
cost is $3.50 per mile for an oiled
road. A rock road costs $3.50 a
mile. A brick road costs $4,000 a
mile.
The asphalt in the oil furnishes the
binding material for the sand and
with the sand forms permanent
cover of bituminous rock. If too
much oil is used it forms hard crust
an inch thick with the top sand. with
loose foundation of sand and will
wear into chuck holes.
The best of permanent roads can
be built by laying first eight inches
of broken rock. rolling it fine. then
oiling it. then cover it with two In
ches of clean gritty sand. then roll
it until smooth as glass.
The broken rock costs $3.50 yard
and the total cost of paving is about
$4,000 mile. This road is per-
manent and far superior to brick
road only four inches thick and with
out foundation-but the brick road
costs $4,000 mile and is only
temporary.
1t seems incredible that counties
will spend $27 for 1000 paving
bricks and $4,000 for each mile of
a temporary brick road without a
foundation, when they can have a
twelve inch permanent rock and oil
pavement for $4,000 mile; or
when they can furnish good roads to
all the people everywhere in the
county for $50 per mile.
The oil is applied as follows: 1t
is brought in wagon-tank with a
faucet behind. Under the faucet is
a wooden trough nine feet long,
twelve inches wide and eighteen in
ches deep, with one-half inch holes

in the Philippines were both broad and deep.
In all branches Of scientific huSbandrv the
Philippine agricultural department, Judging
from results set forth in its regular contribu-
tonS to the photography Of tropical agricul-
ture, is scarcely second to any similar govern

education in those islands, unless the maiV
American teachers that lately were let out there
be replaced, there is room for nisgivingS con-
corning the success of the present adininiS-

In Il recent issue the Mndana0 Herald, hay

WORTH FOLLOWING UP


Hawaii is obtaining gratuitous advertising Of
an excellent character from the Bird of Para
disc" play. 1t 'tcombines drama with local
color" the display heading of a favorable
critique in late Montreal paper says the article
itself stating that "tlle educational value OF tire
piece appealed quite Hs strongly, perhaps more,
indeed, than any of its merits as dramatic pro
duction. As a lesson in geography the work is
unique, and acted as it was by an allround ca
pable gathering of actors and invested with a
plenitude of that most necessary quality termed
atmosphere it proved a strong drawing card,
and has apparently lost none of the attractive
ness which characterized its first local presen-
tation."
Then comes synopsis Of the play in review
style, with remarks on eXcelenceS of acting by
different performers. OF the one that persona
fed the Hawaiian princess, "Luana," it is re-
marked that ''it was difficult to believe that she
was not one of Hawaii's own people, so natural
and so satisfactory Was her performance,
The idea occurs that wherever the Bird of Par
adise" has spread her Thespian wings should be
a well-prepared field for exploiting the attraC-
tions of the pageants descriptive of ancient Ha-
waii which have come to form one of the rs-
70 sential features of Honolulu's annual Carnival.

FIEAEClEB'S VIEW OF IT

'COmfOrt and satisfaction may we'll he de-
rived from the result of the election in the St-v
enth Congressional District of New jersey iS

Chronicle, one of the OracleS of the mainland

Workers lat a time when there is much to
dishearten and discourage in the industrial
world. For this indicates that the public has

+ According to this authority the entire business
administration was on trial. The Presidential
endorsement and personal appeal was behind the
unsuccessful candidate. "Plainly the election
demonstrates that it is quite a different thing
for the President to undertake to compel obed
ence TO his wishes and desires the part of the
electorate from what it is to secure acquiescenGn

Republican, the Chronicle replies that the same
may be said of the state of New Jersey. Mr.
Wilson's personality carried the present Demo
cratic Governor through and also the previous
Democratic candidate in this former Republican
Congressional district. But Mr.. Wilson used
his personality to the limit to pull this last
candidate through, and the result was two
to one vote against him. - -. ..
The conclusion of this New York authority is
interesting as showing the tenor of the financial
centers 1t believes that the electorate of the
Seventh New Jersey district took emphatic
means of emphasizing the fact that, while they
still like the man Mr.. WILSON, they object very
decidedly to giving him further lieutenants in
aiding him in the selfassumed task of promot-
ing legislation calculated to upset and disturb
the existing order" "There is only one all-suff-
cient explanation, namely that Mr.. Wilson has
been committing his administration to policies
that threaten the security and the stability of
things, both politically and economically, and
. that this has created widespread distrust ill the
business world as well as among the voters. The
present weeks upheayal is evidence of the ma
ture and extent of this distrust."
