ROADS AND ROAD MATERIALS
Highway Should BE No More Expe"-
sive Than Traffic Warrants, ana
Materials Suited to Traffic.

fRv ", M. CONE, Colorado Agricultural
College.)
Roads and road materials are the
subject of much discussion all over
the country. Most of our roads are
still being patched up, or, which IS
still worse, being turned upside down
periodically with plow and scraper'
and soft road Is the certain result.
However, some good roads are being
built each year. Roads are busl-
ness. If they are good roads they
are good business, If they are bad
roads they are bad business. A road
| should be no more expensive than the
traffic warrants, and the materials OF
which the road Is constructed must %
suited to the traffic.
Cobble stones are good roads for
heavy drayage and asphaltum pave
ments are excellent for pleasure We
hicles, but they are certainly not IN
Interchangeable in usage. It would be
as foolish in many cases to have an
asphaltum pavement on country
road, as dirt street In the busy traI.
&c district of city.
Too often people lose sight OF the

repairs needed in order to keep roads
good, and that is not done without ex-
pense. In fact, the maintenance and
depreciation charges are usually great
er for good roads than for ordinary
roads, but goods roads are worth the
extra expense, and they are, therefore,
good business. tasA &
Many people speak Of the surface
of a good road as though it were an
arch which must support the weight
of traffic, but the chief concern In
properly constructed good roads Is the
wear on the road surface material,
caused by the grinding action Of
wheels and the suction action OF rapid
ly moving automobile tires, which re-
move the fine dust and binding ma
terials. exposing the coarsero and more
compact material. r.aa#,
Macadam, one of the most famous
road builders, laid down three rules
for making a good road: ~ Good
Drainage, (2) Better Drainage, (3)
Still Better Drainage; or, In other
words, "A good road has tight roof
and dry cellar" Proper drainage to
prevent water from getting into the
road from beneath and good surface
to cause the rainfall to run of before
entering the foundation. will insure q
good road, because well-packed earth
foundation will sustain the weight of
ordinary country traffic without break
ing through. II the surface is not pre-
served, the foundation Of the road will
be damaged, and this applies to dirt
as well as rock roads, for in many
cases we find that earth roads are the
most advisable kind of good roads and
all that the traffic wants.
1t is necessary to keep the roof
tight. Do not allow holes to remain
in the road surface, for II they are not
repaired the water will collect in them
and run through into the foundation,
causing chuck holes"

THE CARNIVAL SHOW

The Campbell Carnival company
was denied permission to show IN
Pocatello and Blackfoot, and In eacn
place their representative applied for
a county license and arranged to hold
their carnival at the edge OF town
after being informed by officials that
the public in general preferred not
to have them.
1t will be interesting to observe
whether the public stand by theNposi'
tion taken by the officials or reprove
them by patronizing the show gen

city his check for his share of the
expense aud had done the worst part
of the grading of the street.
At the request of the finance COM
mittee the city attorney had drawn
up contracts in duplicate between the
city and Byrd Trego to bind him to
do the city publishing free as per
his offer. Mr.. Trego laid the con-
tracts before them and said he want
ed to give them contract If they
wanted one, and he wanted the con-
tract to bind him { absolutely to do
just what he had offered to do, but
that this contract was unusual in
some respects. 1t bound his heirs,
successors and assigns, and he was
willing to bind all of them to COM
lplete his contracts in case of his
death which was probable, but it also
bound him to publish libelous matter
If they chose to order it up, and it
barred him from all rights to claim
damages. He thought they would
/ want to modify that to remove any
reproach it might cast upon them
selves. It also bound him, in case
he failed in business, to be the pay
master for the city in hiring some
body else of their choice and at rates
they should arrange, to complete the
1.-TWO years of publications. Mr.. Trego
said the contract meant that If he
should put all he had into the news
paper enterprise and still go broke
and should go out and takesa jot

,cil gave the city printing to his com
lpetitor at legal rates, he would b.
bound to take his daily wages ant
apply it on the printing bills to sus

thought it unnecessary and unfair tt
bind a man to such extremes, ant
thought the council would themselves
wish to eliminate that provision.
The city attorney said that wa

of his financial failure which h,
thought was improbable, but tn,
committee had said they wanted
contract that would bind him to tn,
