Can Anything Be Nicer Than a
Piano or Player-Piano for Y
Home Something That Every
Member of the Family Enjoys
for All Time to Come.

The Great Manufacturers Emer-
gency and Surplus Sale is nearing
the end. If you expect to purchase
a piano or player piano within the
next ten years, you owe an inves-
tigation to yourself now.
Through the columns Of this
paper we have told the reasons for
this great sale several times, so
suffice it to say that never again
will such low prices be made as
are now marked on thoroughly re-
liable pianos, for the same causes
can never again exist.
New pianos can now be had for
less than dealers have ever before
sold same grade used instruments.
5000, $3.50 and $500 new pianos
can now be secured for 1893, and
the more elaborate styles for $145.
We still have also a good selection,
in plain cases, for $11S. A great
many used pianola pianos, which
cannot be told from new, at prices
ranging from $685. for the $500
grades, to $4SS for the 5000 and

Millet is a quick-growing crop.
Common millet natures in the short
est time and therefore draws mois-
ture from the soil for the least period
of time. German millet yields the
most and is preferred when there is
an average supply of moisture. Com
mon millet Is one of the best drouth
resisters. Northern seed produces
much the hardest plants. The foli-
age of plants from southern seed is
heavier. Sow Is to 20 pounds Of
seed to the acre.
Cut before the seeds get hard. 1t
is a good plan to start cutting as soon
as the heads become fully developed.
Continued feeding of millet to
horses some times causes incurable
lameness. 1t is fairly safe to use for
horses when cut early and only one
feed a day is given Of the millet hay
and some other forage at the other
feelings. Millet is chiefly valuable
as a cattle feed.

last. The best vitrified brick surfaces
may last a number of years, but ever
with them repairs will be required,
To sum up, the authors of this bull
letin point out that the initial cost Of
a road is never the final one; that no
surface is permanent, and that repairs
and maintenance charges of a good
road are to be regarded as perma-
nent investments. When roads are
built with borrowed money, the dis
tinction between the permanent and
the temporary improvement must be
carefully observed, in order that the
county may have something in ex-
change when the time comes to repay
the loan.

" N important factor in the financ-
~ ing of good roads by county
bonds is discussed by the au-
thors of Bulletin No. 1876, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, entitled Highway Bonds"
In this bulletin the authors point
out that in expanding money raised
by the sale of highway bonds the
highway commissioners should dis
tinguish carefully between the perma-
nent and the perishable features of
the road. Foundations, drainage
structures, alignment and grades, are
permanent features which should be
looked upon in the light of an in
vestment. II these features do not
comply with a certain standard, it will
be poor economy to spend money on
transitory improvements such as hard
surfaces, which must be renewed at
considerable expense from year to
year.
Local conditions, of course, deter
mine to a great extent the proper
standards for the permanent features
Of any highway. Twenty years ex-
perience in modern road building has
shown, however, that there Is a mini
mum which any road built on bor-
rowed money should comply with. A
close study of 244 different types Of
road shows that to meet this mini
mum standard, the following sums
will probably have to be expended
for three standard kinds of highways:
Standard Hiphvays.

Estimate Cost of
Road in 20 Years
WIHILE it is frequently easy for
w a county to issue bonds and

wv q tOunty " loSuc JULIUS duu
borrow money for improving
the local highways, the raising of the
money to retire those bonds at ma
turity is often not so simple. Many
counties, in borrowing money for
bonds, figure. that the amount of
money raised represents the total
cost of the road, forgetting that the
road must be maintained and re-
paired If, at the end of the term of
the bonds, the county is to have any
thing to show for its investment.
The question of financing country
road building is discussed fully in q
Department of Agriculture bulletin,
written by the Office of Public
Roads in collaboration with James
W. Glover, professor of mathematics
and insurance, University of Michi-
gan. In this bulletin the authors
discuss fully the various methods of
financing road building and retiring
debts for road construction, and also
deal frankly with the actual total
cost Of a road during the life of the
bonds. On the total cost of a road,
the authors cite the following two
examples as affording at least a basis
for estimating the total minimum cost
Of a mile of road:

The authors point out that the
actual cost of building and maintain
ing a specific highway can be deter
mined only after the character and
volume Of traffic and actual wear and
tear have been studied for a series of
years. The figures quoted above, of
course, will not apply to ordinary
macadam, gravel. or clay roads, but in
all these cases the interest on the
bonds must be met, and there must
be expenditures to maintain them in
condition.
The poorer the drainage and the
less permanent the character of the
road foundation, the greater must be
the percentage that repair costs will
bear to the first cost.
Similarly, the question Of whether
the actual surfacing is designed to
Withstand the character of traffic
and weather to which 1t Is subjected
also has an important bearing on
what 1t will cost the county to keep
the road in such shape that when the
bonds are paid the locality still will
have a valuable property to show as
a result of its borrowing and repay
ment.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-07

A study of these figures will help
counties to avoid the common error OF
first fixing the sum to be spent and
then demanding an exorbitant mile
age In return for 1t. So2called
macadam roads have been built with
bond money by simply spreading
broken stone In the mud. The in
evitable result OF such s~hortsighted-
ness is that long before the bonds
have been paid off the Improvements
for which they were issued have
ceased to exist and the county has
nothing to show for its increased
debt, In the same way, it is mani
festly poor policy to build an expen-
sive surface on defective grades with
poor alignments and shortlived drain
age features.
Even when much of the money ex
pended upon a highway has gone into
the permanent features, there is still
danger that the cost of repairs and
maintenance will be overlooked, or
at least sighted, in the calculation of
the road-builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money 1t is, of
course, especially important to avoid
this error.
Not All ~Surfacing Temporary.
On the other hand, however, it is
not necessary to regard the total cost
of surfacing a road as a temporary
improvement. Much of the surfacing
may be classed as a permanent invest
ment, for 1t is becoming more and
more common to have surfaces built
In two courses, the lower of which Is
as much a permanent feature of con-
struction as the grading itself.
This is particularly true of those
types of road that are built with con-
crete foundations for bituminous-
macadam, brick, or asphalt surfaces.
1t is probably conservative, indeed, to
regard 40 per cent of the s~urfacing
cost of macadam or more enduring
pavements as a permanent invest
ment. 1t Is seldom nowadays that
hard roads are permitted to wear into
the foundation course of the surfac-
ing.
Probably it is safe to say that an
average of about SO per cent of the
total cost of a well-built macadam
road should be put into the perma-
nent features, and with bituminous-
macadam roads, about Sc per cent.
This method of estimating cannot be
applied to any gravel or natural soil
road in which no part of the sur
facing can advantageously be consid-
cred permanent, for under most sys-
tens of maintenance it steadily de-
teriorates.
Concrete Permanent.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on a concrete foundation, are
generally regarded as permanent, but
it Is not yet definitely known how
long the best concrete surface will

trays a lack of trust in the British

he says, there must have been casual

YOUNG HERO IS
BURIED D WI 7 H
MILITARY HONORS
BY Associated Press.l

VIENNA, April 27.-Jan Wisnjewski
aged 10, who died a hero, has been
buried with full military honors in
Maehrisch- Weisskirchen. He was one
of the youngest, if not the youngest OF
the actual fighters in this war.
JAMS home was in Rychwald, from
which he fed with his parents, Polish
peasants, when the Russians came il
December. The three were making
their escape in a wagon when a piece
of shrapnel killed his father and
mother.
Neighbors took him in, but his child
ish mind clamored for revenge, and he
waited only until it was night to run
away and join the Austro-Hungarian
forces. The soldiers let him in the
trenches and soon made him their fav-
orite. He was so small that he would
wriggle from one trench to another
with food, tobacco and the like, with
out making much of target.
Last month when ammunition sud
denly ran low during the midst of a
vicious attack, and the fire was so hot
that it was out of the question to make
ones way to the ammunition wagons,
Jan begged in vain to make a try for
it, and, when he was refused, made q
dash for it.
He reached the train in safety, load
ed himself down with cartridges, and
began the return journey. A hundred
feet from the trench the soldiers saw
him fall, struck by piece of shrap-
mel. While the men, regardless of
the fire, ran toward him, he worked
his way onward toward the trench un-
til he collapsed 10 feet away.
When the battle was over Jan was
removed to the field hospital, but his
wounds were too severe, however, for
him to survive them He is mourned
by his" company as no other mem.
