EXPENSE OF CRAWLING ROAD
Problem Of Crawling Highways at
Moderate Cost Solved by Commits

Evidently Otto Rhstnhardt, commits
sioner of the Nampa highway district,
Canyon county. Idaho. has solved the
problem of grave1ing the highways at
moderate cost. writes e r. Stephens
In Denver Field and Farm. Three
years ago he decided to gravel the dis
trict's shnrs of the boulevard between
Nampa and Caldwell. A half mile
away, Indian creek runs parallel with
this boulevard and there an abundant
supply of gravel was procured Fortu-
nate,y the very heavy traffic incident

terurban electric line track cut through
the gravel. mixing the underlying soil
with the superimposed gravel in suit
able proportions for cementing firm,
smooth roadbed. A percentage Of clay
smooth or volcanic ash soil mixed with
gravel makes a hard, smooth roadbed
not likely to absorb the rainfall. The
result on the boulevard has been to
secure a very serviceable roadbed

MISTAKEN

Published in the Pine Poker:
My attention has been called
to an article in the Bruno cores
pondence of some of our county
papers, in which the statement
is made, In speaking of the pro-
posed automobile road north
from Sandstone, along the G. N.
railroad, that it looks very
much as though Pine City has
been doing everything in its
power to prevent the people in
the north half Of Pine county
from getting this road through. y
Now, | am positive that the
writer of that article il mistaken.
| have investigated, and can not
find a man in Pine City who is
opposed to the road being built.
We are all anxious to see every
portion of this county developed
and know that good roads are a
strong argument for settlement
and settlement means develop
ment.
Ii the correspondent from
Bruno can show the people of
Pine City where they can assist
In furthering the work of build
ing the road in question, | am
sure they will be glad to extend
their aid.

to the west, called Orchard avenue, de-
cided to gravel on the following plan:
The farmers to donate the use Of
teams and wagons with dump boards.
The Nampa highway district to provide
gravel. usually donated by those who
have 1t, pay the shovelers and man
to help dump the loads and also spread
and smooth the gravel on the road
bed, using for this purpose King
drag. The freshly graveled roadbed
should be smoothed with King drag
or other implement weekly for two
months or until settled and cemented
with the underlying soil. Four inches
Of gravel In the middle of the roadbed
with two inches on the sides most
readily mixes with the underlying soil
In such proportions as to shed rain
and form smooth. solid bed. Heavy
traffic cuts through the gravel in wet
weather until enough underlying soil
has been mixed and cemented with
the gravel to shed rain and create a
solid roadbed.
A moderate percentage of clay soil
mixed with tho gravel as applied will
pack and cement from the beginning.
The clay gravel banks along the re-
clamation bitches piled by the dredges
supply ideal material for graveling our
roads. This mixture of clay, sand
and gravel packs from the very first
and does not need underlying soil cut
in by heavy traffic. Coarse gravel,
free from clay or soil, will need an ad-
mixture of soil from below to secure
hard. smooth yoadbed. Orchard ave-
nue. has now been graveled two years.
Its success from the start has been
such as to attract the attention Of 9th.
err neighborhoods.

STATE AID FOR GOOD ROADS
One Reason Why Food Prices Are
High 10 Because Of Cost Of Haul
ING Over Bad Highways.

Nearly every one of the state 'legis-
latures Is considering demands for
more help for road building. says st.
Joseph News.Press, Ten years ago
all the states together put up but
$2,0oo,ooo for road building, exclusive
of local funds. In 1914 they spent
$4S, 00o.00o. But as four-tifths of this
was done by six eastern states and
two Pacific coast states, the problem
is far from solved nationally. Many
of our big problems always come back
to the cost-of-lEing question.
