In expanding money raised by the
sale of highway bonds, highway COM
missioners should distinguish care
fully between the permanent and the
perishable features of the road.
Foundations, drainage structures,
alignment and grades are in general
fairly permanent features which
should be looked upon in the light of
an investment. If these features do
not comply with a certain standard,
it will be poor economy to spend mon
ey on transitory improvements such
as hard. surfaces, which must, at con-
siderable expense, be renewed from
year to year. In the same way, it is
manifestly poor policy to build an ex-
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
drainage 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 calculations of

ELECTRICITY MASTERS
THE MOUNTAIN BARRIERS

One of the most stupendous problems
of western railroading has been the
mountains. To lift the tremendous
tonnage of the transcontinental trains
over the mile-in-t he-air crests of the
mountains is a Herculean task under
the most favorable conditions, and
when snow fills the passes, and cold
beleaguers the fire boxes of the steam
locomotive, the difficulties of mountain
operation become wellnigh insuper-
able.
Remarkable, therefore, was the re-
cent record of one of the 'sMilwau-
KEGS" new Electric Locomotives, pull
ing the all-steel "Olympian' over the
Rockies the train at Deer
Lodge, Montana, fiorty-five minutes
late, and having to traverse the mile
high pass of the Great Continental Di
vide in the dead of winter, it made up
the lost time in the run of lis miles
and arrived at Three Forks, Montana,
or scheduled time.
This astounding record shows that
the Electric Locomotive has proved
| itself master of the Mountain Bar
riers" Fed with the tremendous en-
ergy of the mountain streams, making
an ally of the cold weather which aids
in keeping the motors cool-it pene-
trates the snowdrifts with comparative

ease-hauls heavier loads with greater
dispatch and a pronounced saving in
cost, and opens new world of delights
to the traveller.
/ On your next trip to the Pacific
North Coast, take either of the superb
all-steel trains, 'sThe Olympian, or
''The Columbian over the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, and
enjoy the advantages of electric travel,
combined with unsurpassed scenery and
service.

and maintenance charges will always
be necessary. On the other hand,
many features of good road are to
be regarded as permanent investments.
When roads are built with borrowed
money, the distinction between the
permanent and the temporary improve
ment must be carefully observed in
order that the county may have some
thing in exchange when the time
comes to repay the loan.

A Few Ways of Saving Money.

Saving money by not spending it for
good roads is like saving it in refusing
to improve stock.
1t is like saving it by refusing to
build modern barn.
1t is like saving money by doing
without Silo.
1t is like saving money by using ma
chinery beyond its period OF useful
ness.
1t is like saving money by paying
it to the doctors instead of caring
for the health of the family.

OF about 81 per cent of the total cost
of well-built macadam road may be
considered as spent for permanent fea-
lures, 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 surfacing can advanta-
geously be considered permanent, for
under most systems of maintenance it
steadily deteriorates.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on concrete foundation, are
sometimes regarded as permanent, but
this is hardly safe. 1t is not yet def
nitely known how long the best con-
crete surface will last. The best vitri-
fed brick surfaces may last number
of years, but even with them repairs
will be required.
1t should be borne in mind by those
charged with the expenditure of high
way funds that the initial cost of
road is never the final one; that no
surface is permanent, and that repairs
