CONCRETE PAVEMENT is BEST
Affords as Good FoothoId for Horses
as Any other Hard Surface and
Wears Quite Well.

The concrete pavement In use on the
main driveway at the Kansas State
Agricultural college has proved that
this type Of pavement is successful,
according to L. Il. Conrad, professor
Of civil engineering. This pavement
has been In use for more than three
years and shows practically no wear.
The traffic over this road is heavy.
1t consists OF all the coal and machin-
cry delivered to the college, a large
part of the material that Is used In the
construction of new buildings on the
campus, college mail and express, and
the many pleasure vehicles that are
continually using this road.
Two methods were used to surface
roadway the finish was made compar-
atively smooth, while on the grades a
heavy stable brush was drawn over
the green cement, leaving a rough sur
face. 1t Is probable that after few
years of service the roadway which
has the smooth surface will present a
more uniform appearance but at pres
ent there is no appreciable difference.
"The teamsters hauling coal to the
college power plant were strongly OF
the opinion that the road would be
slippery" remarked Mr.Conrad, "but
they say, after using 1t for three years,
that it affords as good foothold for
the horses as any hard surface.
"The expansion and contraction OF
the concrete is taken up by steel-bound
joints that are placed every 80 feet
these joints being surrounded by an
elastic material. Outside of few
dollars for replacing some Of this ma
terial, there has been no expense what
ever for the repair or upkeep of the
roadway"

city councilman, bishop, high-councilman and var
ous other public capacities he has been prominent
ly before the people Of the community and the
surrounding district By the very nature of the
man he could not help but make deep impression
upon the lives of those with whom he came in con-
tact. In business he was ultra conservative and
his well-known proclivities for caution and care
ton affairs. In disposition his tendency was, per-
haps, nearly the opposite, and while at times he
would lose his equilibrium and do things that he
regretted in his calmer moments, he was. withal
of kindly and forgiving nature and was always
willing to right any wrongs he might have nfct-
ed.
OF that hardy frontier type of physical man.
hood which knew no fatigue, he was indomitable
and possessed of unfaltering determination.
AS bishop for many years in Cedar City he
manifested an interest and sympathy for the men,
bers of his flock which endeared him to their
hearts and made him much beloved in the comun-
ity.
A giant physically he never knew days sick
ness until he was well into the shadow of his prime
and his taking off typical of his life for while
his health has been failing of late he was able to
go for jag of wood the day he died, and was i'll

from one room to another, and expiring almost
Immediately.
His kindly and sympathetic nature made him
favorte speaker at funerals of others, and on
innumerable occasions he has spoken words of
hope and consolation to the bereaved ones left
behind. Today he is the recipient of this kindly
office on the part of others. And such is lfe with
all its uncertainty.
Bishop Cory will be missed in the community.

bereaved family, but in the affairs of the comun-

traveller returns" and has left his impress for
good, far more than for evil, upon the community
in which he resided practically all his life.

all in thrifty condition are being
raised this year by Mr.. Anderson.
All along the route the excursionists
were entertained by the hospitable
people of the "Dixie Land" Monday
morning the party started on the re-
turn trip and made the first stop at
Cedar City where they were banquet
ed by the Cedar City Commercial
club. Ex-senator Lund welcomed Tho.
visitors and spoke of the large shS
raising and other industries of the
valley. Prof. r. F. Homer, principal
of the branch state agricultural col
lege, which has been maintained in
Cedar City for number of years, told
of the work being done by the school
in that part of the state, where high
school and college courses in ag&-
culture, mechanic arts, home econom-
les, business and art and science is
taught Manager ]. E. Jones, of the
Western Newspaper Union, responded
for the visitors and assured the peo-
pie of the community that the visiting
party truly appreciated the hospitable
manner in which they had been re-
ceived at every stop. After luncheon
the trip was resumed to Lund, where
the Salt Lake Route train was boarded
on the last lap homeward The only
DISAPPOINTMENT to the members of the
excursion party was that more time
could not have been spent at the Wylie
Camp, where the scenery is magnifi-
cent and the service at the camp is
the very best.
No official business was transacted.
The outing was arranged for pleas
ure trip only, and Secretary Porte,
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Early made it
their business to see that every one
who made the trip had fine time.

TODAY the first segment of our new recruits
for the natural army under the provisions of the
draft will leave Iron county for the training
camps. So far as we know, only two of the boys
will go at this time, both being from Cedar City,
in the persons of Corlett Smkns and Ether Perry.
1t is understood that these boys go to prepare a
place for the 40 per cent of the quota who will
follow them to Washington about the 10th, and
who in turn will prepare to absorb another 40 per
cent about the end of the month The boys were
rendered a feeling and rousing farewell by the
people of the county last Monday, and will take
with them the blessings and prayers of their many
friends, relatives and acquaintance at home. The
Record joins in wishing them successful mission
and safe and victorious return.

PRESS ASSOCIATION OUTING

A number of the members of the
State Press Association, with their
wives and friends, took few days off
last week and made the trip to Zion
canyon and other Southern Utah
points of interest, via the "Wylie
Way"
Several of the party met Friday
evening at the union station of the
Salt Lake Route, where they departed
at 1850 for the south and were
Joined along the route by other MEM
bers of the Association. City Ticket
Agent, j. S. Farley, of the Salt Lake
Route, accompanied the party on the
entire trip and the best of service of
the "Wylie-Way" and the great Salt
Lake Route were extended the ex-
cursionists.
The first stop was made at Mil
ford, where the party was entertained
and breakfasted by the Milford Com
mercial Club. After stop of thirty
minutes the journey was continued to
Lund, here the party took the "Wylie-
Way" passenger autos for a thirty-five
mile drive to Cedar City. A stop of an
hour was made and lunch was had,
after which trip of sixty-five miles
through picturesque canyons, green
fields and orchards to the Wylie camp
in Zion canyon was made. Sunday
was spent in viewing and inspecting
the wonderful scenery in Zion canyon
the scenic wonder of the west.
On the route between Cedar City
and the Wylie camp great fields of
hay and grain and orchards of ripen-
ing fruit are to be seen on either side
of the highway. A stop was made at
the ranch Of Peter Anderson where
the members of the party were feast
ed on melon and lucious fruits grown
on this ranch of several hundred
acres. Mr.. Anderson has modern
brick and concrete bungalow home,
with his own water system and all the
conveniences and improvements of a
modern city home. Acres of beans,

Outline Of King Drag.

It's further use l give this detailed
drawing and make the following sug-
gestions:
Use light wood. The drag will do
enough for one man to lift.
Don't use square timber, as 1t will
not stay sharp on the edge like a
half-rOund timber. A log from 10
to II inches in diameter is best.
A strip of iron three-elghths of an
inch thick, three or four inches wide
and thirty-six inches long bolted to
the right-hand side of the front tim
Der, is very effective in cutting down
unusually rough spots.

WE have frequently remarked that the people
of this section of the country have grown up in
the shadows of our magnificent mountains and
their woundrous scenery, and do not appreciate
their beauty and elegance. Yesterday lady of
Cedar City called us up to elaborate and enthuse
upon the beauty and majesty of the scenery in
the vicinity of Miners Peak, on the Cedar noun
tain, where her husband has ranch and which
she had just visited for the first time. And that
is the way it is with great many of US. We hear
of the wonders and beauties of the Yellowstone,
of the Yosemite, Niagara and even the Alps of
Switzerland, and yet we have not visited the nat
ura wonders within 10 to 100 miles of us, declared
by many of our globe-trotting friends to be the
peer of anything in this line in the known world.

THE total absence of the finer feelings of hui
manity which prompts German air craft to raid
cities in which only non-combatants and particu-
larry women and children stationed, is not GO
ing to make sympathy for their cause or rally to
their support people of neutral nations. Such to-
tai disregard for the rules of international war
fare and of the common instincts of humanity,
betrays a sorded and abandon nature which is re-
pulsve to all civilized people and will have the
effect of driving them together to resist and de-
throne the menace. The raid on London on the
night of the 4th of September was most brutal
affair and the oftener such tactics are repeated
the sooner will the overthrow of the German ma
ton be contaminated

ANOTHER matter that the Commercial Club
ouht to take up is the immediate improvement of
Main street. If nothing further can he done at
this time, the holes could be filled with grader
and lot of shale hauled upon it. From the in
tersection of Center street to the bridge the
South Field ditch, the street is disgrace to any
community and is really one of the toughest bits
of road in the entire county that is used for gen.
eral travel OF course, we know that the city is
expecting and arranging to improve the street, but
it is impossible to tell just how soon this will be,
and the citizens ought to that the present very
unsatisfactory condition does not remain for an
other fortnight How would it be to make the fix
ing of this street a special order for next We'd
nesday afternoons half-holiday.

SPRING WORK ON GOOD ROADS
One or Two Trips Up and Down With
Drag viii Put Them in Fine Con-
dition-Details OF a Drag.
(By LEO MATTHEW'S


In the spring of the year, when the
roads begin to dry and the dirt Is
still somewhat moist, one or two trips
up and down with the road drag will
put them In excellent condition. IL
each farmer would care for the road
which passes his place, dragging 1t
every time it needed 1t, we would all
have occasion to rejoice.
Personally, / don't believe there Is
n steel drag made that will beat the
work of the old King drag. Another
point In It's favor Is that 1t can be
made at home and costs practically
nothing.
Because of constant inquiry for
plans of this drag and to encourage

er who wants to place his land on the
the tract will have the opportunity. One
of the objections raised was that il
"a only an optional bill but the sup
porters took the position that such a
movement must have a beginning some
where, and the weak places bolstered
up by future legislatures, and that once
started it would grow to a point where
all land in the state would have to be
registered under the system.
Among the late bills is n by Arm
strong, Of Kingsbury, regulating pay.
ments OH sale of state lands, and one
by Ruben, of Hamlin. fixing salaries of
deputy county registers of deeds and
auditors.
In the list of constitutional amend
ments passed by the house is the tax
amendment authorizing the Legislature
to classify property for assessment and
taxation, and authorizing the adoption
or WHdt is KNOWN as the SASKATCHEWAN
system of county hail insurance, which
is claimed to be a simple, safe and in
expensive method of securing protec-
ton of crops if damaged by hail.
Eighty-two new bills were started in
the house Friday and Saturday, the last
days for general introduction, and the
committee bills yet to come will run
the number of new bills higher than
they were at the session of two years

Hills section sought to have the home
boys brought back to Fort Meade, near
Sturgis. and mustered out there, but
the powers that be in Washington have
decreed otherwise and the South Da-
kota boys will be mustered out at
Fort Crook, Neb.
