during wet weather. On sandy roads
anything that will prevent the free
movement Of the sand particles will
be of value. AS long as the road is
damp, the surface tension of the capil-
larry water acts as binder and holds
the separate grains of sand in place.
All efforts should, therefore, be direct
ed toward preventing the sandy places
from drying out, or to adding some
binder. The addition of clay furnishes
a positive binder and Is really the best
and most permanent treatment. The
addition of any fibrous 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 surface, will make an almost
impossible sand road fairly good for a
time. But the best way to treat a bad
place, whether on a clay or sand
road, is to treat it before it gets bad.
Immediate attention to small injuries
will prevent later prolonged attention
and extensive repairs to serious dam
ages.

Telling The Truth

1t is not pleasant and profitable
always to tell the truth in the
columns of newspaper. Men who
have tried this heretofore have al
ways come to grief, Only a few
days ago the editor of paper
in Indiana grew tired If being
called a liar, and announced that
he would tell the truth in the
future; and the next issue of the
paper contained the following items:
John BONN, the LATEST merch--
ant in town. made trip to Belle
Willie yesterday.
"John Coy]e. our grocer man,
is doing a poor business. His store
is dirty and dusty. How can ne do
much?
Rev. Styx preached last Sun
day night on Charity The ser
mon was punk.
"Dave Sonkey died at his home
in this place. The doctor gave II
out as heart failure. Whisky kill
ed him.
Married Miss Sylvan Rhodes
and James Conlin, last Saturday,
at the Baptist parsonage. The
bride is a very ordinary town girl,
doesn't know any more about
cooking than a jack rabbit, and
never helped her mother three day
in her life. She is not beauty by
any means, and has a gait ike a
duck. The groom is an up-to-date
loafer. He has been living off the
old folks at home all his life, and is
not worth shucks. 1t will be a
hard life.
THE governor of our great state,
a very ordinary man, and who was
elected by accident, was here
yesterday. He has very few friends
here now. He promised some of
the voters of this precinct piece of
the pie in event Of his election, but
had forgotten all about it when
the time to hand over the little Of
flee rolled around"
Which reminds us of an illinois
editor who became tired of WELD
ing the whitewash in the matter
of obituaries, decided to reform
and tell the truth just once. He
commented as follows upon the
death of a citizen:
"Died Aged fifty-six years, six
months and thirteen days. De-
ceased was a mildmannered pirate
with a mouth for whisky. He
came here in the night with another
mans wife and joined the church

he is right; he never paid anything

grave, as he may need them. His

Death MYSTERY
HEIRS OF TWO MEN FIGHT FOR
SOUTH DAKOTA ESTATE.

Deadwood, March 21.-With an es-

puzzle of the death years ago of two
men named Winters, both Of whom

as to whether he is the heir of the
right Winters.
One George Winters died at Yank-

twenty years before. He had been
married several times, but left no
children, and the state claimed his
estate. Then Harrison t. Winters,
of st. Paul, made his appearance and

courts to being the legal heir, with

Harrison Winters said George lived

ELECTRICAL ERA IN
RAILROADING DAWNS
40 Miles of the Milwaukee Main
Line Over the Rockies Electrified.

A new era in railroading dawns-
another milestone in the worlds
progress has been erected. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
has inaugurated this great epoch by
accomplishing the longest extent of
main line electrification in the world,
through a region demanding the ut
most OF energy and efficiency in loco
motives.
The electrified district is that of
the great continental divide, extend
ing from Harlowtown, Mont, to
Avery, Idaho, a distance of 440 miles
(115 miles, from Three Forks to Deer
Lodge, Mont, now in operation).
The power used to operate the
giant electric locomotives Is obtained
from mountain waterfalls. From the
h~ydro-electric plant at Great Falls
and from other plants. the electricity
Is transmitted at the high tension OF
100 600 volts alternating current to
fourteen substations of the railway,
and there is stepped down and
changed to 5000 volts direct, the
current used by the locomotives.
One of the scientific marvels is re
generative braking. by which the
train on down grades, instead of con-
Stunning electricity, actually produces
it, and by which at the same time the
speed of the train is kept under per
feet control without using the air
brakes.
With electrification has come con
~servation of resources, more efficient
and economical operation. better
maintenance of schedules, the prac-
