type of construction adapted for
modern conditions. In his biennial re-
port he has this to say: During the
early existence of the department,
macadam roads constituted as much as
30 per cent of the mileage constructed.
AS the use Of the automobile became
more widespread, the percentage of
macadam roads built each year de-
creased owing to the excessive cost of
maintaining this type under the auto
mobile traffic. Within the past two
years, however, water-bOund macadam
roads have been again growing in
favor because it has been found pos
sible with a bituminous surface treat
ment to maintain them in a condition
comparable in the point of service to
the higher types of roads. The first
treatment, which is made after the
road has seasoned by opening it to
traffic for three or four months, is es-
sentially a part of the initial cost of
construction. and can be applied at a
cost of about five cents per square
yard, or not to exceed $500 per mile
for 16-foot road. Thereafter the road
can be maintained in satisfactory
condition with yearly treatment at
a cost of about three cents per square
yard"

NEARLY ALL LOVE A GARDEN
Nc Other pastime, Unless II Be That
of Angirr Has Stronger Grip
Upon ITS Devotees.

There he delights" says an ancient
writer. that viii fetch the day about
from sun to sun and rock the tedious
year as in delightful dream" Thus,
and very much after this manner, the
charming old prose-poet amiably gar
den made, continues. page after page,
to describe the u 600 delights to be
found in the 'fiowery orchard of his
century-describes them with an aban.
don of happiness that suggests the rap
ture of st. Bernard when hymning the
New Jerusalem"
In fact barring the equally ancient
and alluring pastime of going a-hshing,
no hobby has "a stronger grip on its de-
voices than gardening, observes Fran
ces Duncan in Scribner's. AT four
o'clock of summer morning Celia
Thaxter could be found at work in her
radiant little island plot, sister in
spirit to old Chaucer when on his knees
in the grass at dawn to watch daisy
open. And these were not exceptional,
not extraordinary cases of devotion !;
they were merely typical opponents of
the true gardeners passion.
Nor is this tense enthusiasm fleeing.
Not in the least. 1t is no more tran
sient than the bibliomaniac's passion.
no more evanescent than the collectors
zeal, which only death can quench. 1t
is no sudden, youthful fervor; indeed,
1t is rarely found in youth at the storm
and stress period, while 1t may be OBJ
served to be strongest in those for
whom the days of wild enthusiasm are
over. The bachelor clergyman or the
quietest of spinsters, for whom other
passion is nonexistent, will yet lavish
on their gardens enough devotion TO
have won the heart of the most OBJ
durate of persons, enough tenderness
to have sufficed for the mothering of a
dozen little ones. A garden is the
world of the recluse, the passion OF
| the lone man or woman, the diversion
of statesmen. the recreation of poets
and artists of all ages.

A LEWISTON JURY FINDS
DRUGGIST RAY GUILTY

Lewiston Banner: 1t took a jury
of twelve good men and true less
than three quarters of an hour to
convict John T. Ray on the charge
of violating the state prohibition
law. Mr. Ray conducts the Owl
Drug store, and on October l 5 one OF
his clerks was placed under arrest for
selling alcohol contrary to law. At
or about the same time the home of
Mr. Ray was entered by officers arm
ed with a search and seizure wal
rant and in the basement was found
a large quantity OF liquor-in the
neighborhood of 100 gallons-all OF
which was carted to the court house.
The defendant set up the plea that
he had no knowledge of the liquor
being in his cellar, and testimony
was offered to the effect that it was
put there by a japanese who had
worked up quite reputation for
himself around here "a being handy
with the booze" MotherS-in-law
and brothers-in-law also figured III
the case for the defense but the tes
timony throughout, on that side, was
SO gauZy and bungling that no jury
could have arrived at any other CON
elusion, unless it had been hand-pick
ed for the purpose of favoring the &C
cuSed.
There was considerable speculation
around town as to the outcome OF
this particular case, many being of
the opinion it would result in either
a hung jury or acquittal. The
reason for this, no doubt, was be-
cause in the past juries trying SINH
lar cases in this county have been
inclined to give the defendants the
best of 1.-THE full benefit of the
doubt-and there was no room in
their heads for anything else but
doubt. But things are changing and
Lewiston is rapidly getting on the
map as city favorable to law en-
forcement. and from now on it will
not be so easy shedding for those who
have an idea that the prob bition law
is a joke.
Following are the names of the
jurors who got the kings goat: R.
Is. Parks, Charles Larson, A. j. Rich
ardson, E. Code. j. p Harris, w. A.
Gibson, w. T. Lambdin, LATE Har-
rington. II. A. Canter, w. c. Mallory,
Ira King, G. F. Walker Under the
law the minimum sentence for the
offense of Which Mr. Ray was found
guilty is a fine of $50 and 80 days in
Jail
Since the above was printed the
Court has sentenced Ray to 60 days
in Jail and assessed a fine of $500.
The defendant has taken an appeal
to the supreme court.

Best Possible Condition.

A well-dragged road in front Of the
farm is a great satisfaction to the
owner, but why not give him the addi-
tional satisfaction Of letting him know
that you appreciate what he has done
as you drive by? Why not tell him
what you think and help establish a
prize for the best-dragged piece of

a little money will bring bigger re-

friendly rivalry among the workers. A
careful use Of the drag may save the
