Bad Spots in Roads

when Il has been softened by rain and
then worked in by trafic and a liberal
use of the drag, poor earth road can
be much improved and made to carry
a surprisingly heavy trafic for short
time.
In contrast to the clay or gumbo road,
the sand road gives least trouble dur
ing wet weather. On sandy roads any
thing that will prevent the free move
ment of the sand particles will be Of
value. As long as the road is damp,
the surface tension Of the capillary
water acts as a binder and holds the
separate grains of sand in place. All
efforts should, therefore, be directed to-
ward preventing the sandy places from
drying out, or to adding some binder.
The addition Of clay furnishes positive
binder and is really the best and most
permanent treatment. The addition Of
any fbrous material such as straw, spent
tan bark, sage brush, or pine needles
is Of value and, when spread on the
road and covered with thin coat Of
sand or allowed to work into the sur
face, will make an almost impossible
sand road fairly good for time. But
the best way to treat a bad place,
whether on clay or a sand road, is to
treat it before 1t gets bad. Immediate
attention to small injuries will prevent
later prolonged attention and extensive
repairs to serious damages.

loyal Republican Republican. and he has
worked at the job earnestly and whole
heartedly and unselfishly. Many men

lay dislikes him.
Business disappointments, as well as
political disappointments have at times
been his lot, but he has gone the even
tenor of his way without complaint,
kindly, considerable, interested in all his
friends and particularly his younger
friends, helpful in whatever capacity he
found necessary to help. How marked
is the contrast in the Joy and happiness
he finds in life with the loneliness and
disappointment of some of his old as

political or business ambition to embit-

ming for the future than he does in dis
cussion of the days of the long ago.
Colonel Findlay came to Kansas, fresh
from the army where he served as
volunteer during the Civil War. He was
youngster then, black haired and with
flashing eyes that betokened the indom-
table spirit of the man. His hair
has turned to silver with the pass
ing of the years, but the eyes still fash
with the old spirit and he is yet
youngster.
When Colonel Findlay first came to
Kansas he located at Ft. Scott, where
he was engaged in the coal mining
business on large scale. From the out
set he was actively interested in politics,
as he is to this day. Probably no living
man in Kansas has known intimately
SO many of the prominent and useful
men in Kansas Certainly no living man
has helped more Kansans to political
preferment than he. However, little in
the way of political pie ever came his
way. In fact, Colonel Findlay was never
much of a hand to seek office. He en-
joyed helping someone else more than
he did marshalling support for himself.

temporary work is always expensive and
is never justified by ordinary condi-
tions. Unusual conditions, however, Of
ten occur to plague the road man. For
example, the closing Of a main high
way to traffic because Of construction,
repair, or washouts may suddenly throw
a heavy trafic for a short time on a
little used and probably unimproved
byway. Clearly, in such a case tenn
porary expedients are legitimate.
The most common troubles met with
in a case of this kind are mudholes and
ruts II the soil is heavy, and dust and
loose sand If the soil is light or sandy.
On a clay or gumbo road mudholes
usually cause the most trouble. AS wa
ter is absolutely necessary for the exist
ence of a mudhole, any treatment,
whether temporary or permanent in
character, must provide for getting rid
of the water. The first step is there
fore, to dig a trench to the side and
allow the water and mud to drain. II
necessary, open up also the side
bitches. Furthermore, remove all of
the soft mud left in the mudhole. The
bottom of the trench should be filled
with broken stone or coarse gravel so
as to provide drain to prevent any
further accumulation of water. Gravel
is the best material for filling the old
mudhole. If gravel is not available, use
the best earth at hand, tamping 1t down
in or 4 inch layers. If possible, spread
little gravel or sand over the new fill,
which should be made slightly higher
than the adjoining road surface. The
best treatment of all, however, is to
keep the drainage in good condition.
Serious mudholes will then rarely de-
velop.
Don't try to fill a mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
it with large stones, because If this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to I'LL mud
hole with sods or similar material which
absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid of dragging too often during
rainy spell. II thin coat Of sand or
gravel be spread over the road surface

The man who will work without being

think he pays the old mans
salary. A salesman who thinks that
perhaps the quality of the material may
have something to do with his making
those large contracts. A stenographer
who knows punctuation, and will look
in the dictionary when she is uncer-
tain about the spelling. A purchasing
agent who doesn't think he does you
favor when he asks you to quote. A
new superintendent who will wait
week before installing a much better

who acts as If he wasn't.

Alaska Shipping

The extraordinary growth of our commerce with Alaska this season has moved the steamship lines carrying Alaska traffic to large extensions of service, says the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer Six large passenger and freight ships have been or soon will be placed in the trade in addition to the regular fleet. These have been acquired on the south coast, the Great Lakes and from the Atlantic caast lines Local chip ping interests feel that even these ad- ditious may not be adequate for the business that will offer itself next sea- son, and that more ships will be needed before the close of 1916 The present. fleets, with their recent purchasee, supply more than thirty ships to the trade.
 In freight and passengers next season should be a record breaker. The gov ernment railway construction will be under full headway and will require far more supplies than this season. Alaska towns are growing and their commercial needs are greater. The movement of colonists, of farmers, of business men and laborers will com mence in earnest.
 Alaska has received in recent months countrywide advertising, it's resources and possibilities are generally known, the "truth about Alaska" has been told, and thousands of Americans are ready to cast their fortunes .with the great northern territory. In addition, there is the growing tourist traffic to be cared for
 Seattle shipping interests have been fully awake tJ the needs of the grow ing northern trade.
