ANYTHING that will advance good
roads in Iowa Is worth while. Per-

representing different sections OF the
state will be prolific In good results
but, at least, it will serve as a means
of education, and education Is the thing
most needed.
First we must find the kind Of ma

Iowa.s soil and climate; next We must
consider the cost; third, we must con-
si.er the means of raising the money
to pay for the roads. Once we have
these three things settled. we have a
basis to work on.
We are peculiarly situated in Iowa.
Our road building has been done in
haphazard hit-and- miss way, and a

DE A I H LIST OF HURRICANE LIN
 INCREASE

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 4-The hur- ricane which swept the gulf coast in this section last Tuesday evening has devastated hundreds of miles of the country and it will be weeks before the wreckage and debris of the storm can be removed, and the damage even partially repaired. From information so far available the death list has been set at 1S1, while the property loss is over twelve million. About 150 schooners and sailing vessels have been driven ashore and wrecked. Many plantation buildings have been demolished while crops were destroy ed. The land has been flooded, and the orange groves ruined, the trees being smashed and utterly spoiled. The storm centered between Gulfport and New Orleans. The deaths in New Orleans were twenty. Through out the country hundreds ar" still maroonered in trees and on IT. roofs of buildings. In places the water is fifteen above the greatest heretofore recorded heights of tide water. The storm was so bad that the cotton was bent down and the cotton blown com pletely off the plants. In the city of Empire three hundred persons are still endangered.

To offer some material on which
to base scientific and sensible ar
gument we might consider what oc-
Cured after the road had been COM
pleted in careful and workman
like manner, and few of the
requisites of "a good gravel road.
To take up the latter first, the
success of a gravel road depends
upon its permeability and to make
It as highly impervious as possible.
The aim is to grade the material
and compress 1t so as to make
minimum of voids-the densest
mass possible. The material was
graded fairly well, as well as could
be expected without an artificial
process of graduation, and the mass
was thoroughly compressed with a
lotion roller. But there is still an
other course necessary to close the
voids and that is traffic. The favor
able results caused from traffic are
the fine material added to fill the
smaller surface vOids that are gain
ed by the wearing action from the
tires and the kneading and COM
pressing caused from pressure ex-
erted on small areas. We should all
be convinced that the secret OF a
gravel road is the fact that 1t does
not absorb water, when traffic has
gone over 1t long enough to have
thoroughly compressed the mass
and closed the voids-a process
that this road never has had the
opportunity to experience.
Now suppose the gravel surface
has not been completely condensed
by traffic. What is the result? The
water passes through just the same
as it does in . cistern filter-and

thoroughly saturates and soaks the
subgrade, which in the case of a
gravel road is the foundation. What
happens when the foundation fails?
Gravel is not like brick or concrete
masonry; unlike pavement of brick
or concrete; gravel has no arching
strength and when the foundation
fails the whole road most certainly
goes down with 1t.
Now besides the water that under
normal conditions should pass over
this gravel surface, there was an
added quantity caused by the dam
of debris and snow. We shall con-
slider the cause of this dam later.
Had this pavement been of any
other material than gravel 1t would
have failed. If water is allowed 10
lie under any pavement so near the
surface as to freeze there is the re-
sulting expansion which will exert
enough pressure to cause an up
heaval Of the pavement.
Now to mention the dam, which
is below the curb and gutter con-
struction. At the time the curb ana
gutter grades were established, the
grade line was carried on to the
river. Ample drainage is possible
but the existing ditch is constructed
like many drainage schemes put IN
by laymen and without the aid OF
an instrumental needed regrad-
ing. The proposition was presented
to both the city and county to have
the contractor, while he had all
necessary equipment on the ground,
grade the ditch. He agreed to DO
this for SIC. The county had prom
ised to care for this section of the
road, so the city referred the mat
ter to the county. The county re-
ferred It to the township board,
and the work was never done. HAD
either the city or county spent the
necessary $40 to regrade the ditch
the gravel road could have been
saved, Some will say that the crown
should have been held up. 1t is quite
true that if the ditch is never TO
be graded to allow for proper drain
age. the shape of the street should
have been distorted by raising the
crown. In other words, raise the
street at a cost of $3.50 instead OF
lowering the water at cost OF $40.
It is we'll to say that an elaborate
storm sewer or a provision for sub
drainage, such as IL inches OF
crushed rock or drain tile, would
have corrected the defects in the
road. But who is going to pay the
extra costs?
At a cost of $3.50 a concrete flow
line could be laid in the ditch south
of the curb and gutter for a dis
lance of 500 feet. This would pro-
vide drainage. The cheapest propo-
sition is to grade the ditch and then
keep it graded. But since these
bitches are rarely given the proper
maintenance the safest, and prob
ably in the end the cheapest solu-
ton, is to lay the 500 feet of con-
crete flowline.
There is really no particular per-
son responsible for this bad piece
of road, for the damaging effects
have been the elements and in all
contracts we may find the clause,
1.-THE contractor is not responsible
for damages caused by an act oil
God" An engineer may also be ex-
cused on the same grounds.
II the critics maintain that this
bad road is the result Of some hui
man influence, let them carefully

SOLD HYMN BOOK ADS,
AND BUYERS WERE easy

Concordia, March ia dozen
merchants and the Daily Blade are
looking for a smooth talking gentle
tleman by the name OF ]. l.. LOCK-
wood. who claimed to be represent
ing the Hope Publishing company
of Chicago. His plan was to secure
advertising from merchants which
we're to be pasted inside the front
and back covers OF hymn books used
in some church. At this place ne
used the Christian church and Sc
cured an endorsement from the pas
tor of that church. His plan was TO
take the proofs of the advertising
secured to the merchant after the
printer had set 1t up and by that
means secure payment. He collect
ed $40 here and left town the next
day. The publishers, upon inquiry
said they employed no such man.
Probably this is the same person
who visited Abilene recently. He
represented that he would give a
church a set of hymn books Free
and would place advertising on the
front and back covers only. he
claimed to have the consent and
endorsement of local pastor, and
on the strength of this obtained
copy for several advertisements. He
presented proofs to several OF the
people who expected to advertise
and collected the money. Then he
left town. Altogether he worked"
the town for about SIS.
The man who was here did not
represent himself as agent of any
company, but said that he would
buy the books himself and arrange
for having the advertisements IN
serted.
