KEEPING ROADS IN CONDITION
" e of OIL Following the Vogue of the
Automobile, Has Been Found to
Be Most Effective.

The use of oil upon the roads is one
of the many interesting innovations
that have followed the introduction OF
the automobile The wheel of the car
not only raises the loose dust of the
road but, as the fiattened part of the
tire becomes once more rounded on
leaving the ground, actually tears and
disintegrates the surface itself.
AS the foundation of the best road
OIL asphaltu which is present in
large amounts in the California and
Texas oils-is unrivaled In fact. an
authority on the subject declares in
the New York Sun that a road oil is
effective precisely in proportion to the
amount of asphaltum it carries
There are three methods OF using
the oil. In the most thorough process
the road surface is first broken by the
plow. 1t is then sprinkled with the
heaviest oil-half gallon to gallon
OF oil to the square yard-and then
narrowed and rolled A lasting road
bed results. This process, with vari-
Gus notifications, has been much used
in California.
Another method that is coming into
very general use in the east is to pre-
pare the roadbed by resurfacing the
crown of the road and brushing off the
dust. Over this the road oil is sprin
kled from cart, about half gallon
to the square yard. 1t is usual to oil
only half Of the road at a time, for
traffic should be kept from the oiled
surface for couple of days The
preparation will last a whole season,
but if the oiling is done oftener, it will
result in an enduring asphalted surf
ace.
The third method, less permanently.
effective is sprinkling the road with
emulsitied oil, mixture of oil, water
and saponifying chemicals-which
lays the dust and binds the road surf
ace, but which calls for reapplication
oil has a true asphaltum base, this
method will ultimately result in dur
able asphaltum roadbed.
1t may be added that many of the
California crude oils were so weighted
with asphaltum that for a long time
they were used as fuel only The
chemists. however, have found way
to extract the naphtha and kerosene,
and leave the asphaltum almost pure
for this new use.

PROMISES A "sQUARE DEAL, "

In a letter to The Post F. 3. Ell
hott denies that he is pledged to the
people OF Wellton and adjacent towns
to split the appropriation for the
Yuma to Maricopa line road as de-
sired by the Wellton citizens. Be
fore the primary election it was com
mon talk among the politicians in
Yuma that if either Elliott or Hop
klns were elected the road money
would be apportioned as related in
the story which appeared in The Pos
on September 49,
Mr.. Elliott may not be pledged to
do as the Wellton people anticipate
that be will do, but this paper does
know that the voters of that pre-
cinct threw their whole support to
hinse II and Mr.. Hopkins. In fact
there were twenty-one republican
voters. there who changed their reg
istrat1on for the sole purpose of vot-
ing for their choice for supervisor
on the democratic ticket Their rea-
son was plain, as the returns indi
Gated.
In his letter Mr.. Elliott says: 81
have an utter contempt for the man
that has to make pledges in order to
gain the votes of any certain com
munity."
We do not believe that Mr.. Elliott
should take this view of pledges
Pledges are promises to a candidates
constituency, and practically every
candidate and party indulge in va
riOus promises, especially before cleo
ton. The people want to know
wnere a candidate stands before they
vote for him, and what he proposes
TO do, if elected, for their particular
section.
Mr.. Elliott has made pledges, or
promises, in the past, in his cam
paigns for the office to which he
now aspi1es, and this paper has al
ways believed that he was right in
making such promises.
In one part of his letter Mr.. Eli
lott says: Il have promised no one
anything" and in another part he
says that he did say when he was
campaigning in the north end that he
would "see that the people of the
northern part Of the county got a
square deal. That in itself is a
promise, or pledge, and if Mr.. Elliott
will carry out that one little promise
everybody in the north end will be
voting for him as long as he wants
TO hold down the job of supervisor.
A square DEAL is all we ever
have wanted in the north end, but it
is something we never have had in
the past.

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma OF
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette
tobacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be SO differ
ent from all others.
The answer to this question Is
to be found on the reverse side of
every Prince Albert package, where
you will read: Process Patented
July 3Oth, 1907" That tells the
whole story. Prince Albert is made
by a patented, process that cuts out
the bite and parch, which makes the
tobacco sd mighty agreeable and
satisfying to men Of every taste of
every civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process, cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But
the result has proven to be worth
all that was expended upon it, be-
cause it has set free men who be-
lieved they never could enjoy a
pipe or a makin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince AL
bert cannot bite or parch. That is
cut out by the patented process, leav-
ing for the smoker only the joys of
the fragrant tobacco.
1t is a fact that since Prince AL
bert arrived" just about six years
ago, it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked pipe be-
fore!
