ton pointed out rather clearly that
it is not at all likely that Idaho is
big enough to furnish candidate
for the presidency even if she had
one fitted for this great Office. So
it seems advisable for Idaho's senior
senator to step into a lucrative law
practice in New York City and bide
his time.
But there are other reasons for
this decisive step. Borah is a
shrewd politician and has seen the
hand writing on the wall. 1t is
more than likely that in the next
campaign he would be weighed in
the balance. It is we'll known
fact that many of his stanch sup
porters in Idaho are very much dis
satisfied with the senator's recent
record on some of the great ques-
tions of the day, hence his decision
to get out of politics while the get
ting out is good. A larger and
more influential state may give him
an opportunity that he could not
get in Idaho.
The state land department opened
vigorous campaign this week to
intensity crop production and stock
raising on state agricultural and
stock lands in every county in Idaho.
The propaganda is in line with the
preparedness program that is STIR
ring the nation and the object is to
bring about a marked increase of
products and stock from Idaho in
1917. Special display poster notices
have been issued and will be pla-
carded all over the state by the
agents Of the department, deputies
of the state fish and game depart
ment, representatives of the agri-
cultural extension department,
state farm market bureau, counny
assessors and agents of the rail-
roads. and the banks.
In order that available state lands
for sale or lease may become more
generally known maps of each coun-
tv have been prepared. They show
in yellow the vacant state lands
available, where they are located.
Each county assessor will have maps
together with proper form applica-
lions to be used by those desiring
to secure the land for planting or
grazing purposes this year. The
people in the various counties are
better qualified to determine the
state lands they can use in doing
their bit towards increasing crop
production. When they ascertain
the lands that are vacant they can
Immediately make application.
This is the first time the land de.
partment has had the state lands ir
the various counties separately out
lined so that everyone can find out
just what. lands can be secured

do much to prevent a species of outrage

In an interview the other day Robert
W Chambers is reported as saying:
THE really wise woman conceals her
wisdom from her men friends. She does
not criticize; instead she overlooks"
Which remark is a sound. Juicy outlet
of truth.
It's not what You see in me that makes
you love me; it's what you refuse to see
in me
When | was little boy had school
teacher whom adored with all the in
tensty a male person of seven can ex-
ercise toward a female person Of twenty
five love that woman STILL tho she is
dead and gone, or married and done for,
years ago, as far as | know. And the
principal reason for my infatuation Of
Miss Lamb Chat was her name; ! won
der what has become of herr was that
she was the first expert star overlooker
that came into my life.
know now that at the time of this
early passion | was tow-headed urchin,
usually with dirty face and a nose that
needed plumbing, an enemy to all order
ly government, in the road of and dis
liked by most people, and fuller of the
Old Ned than an egg is fun of meat.
And along came this teacher in the
Third Ward school; she couldn't see any
of my conspicuous disagreeable qualities.
declared ! was a wonderful child and
some day would be president of the
United States or foreman Of the grand
jury on the Day of Judgment, or some
thing, and asked me to her house, and
fed me candy and apples. Love her?
Never since have l felt such utter, con-
suming devotion. | would have died for
her. | even kept my face clean and my
hair combed for her-when / thought
Of it.
Oh, there's meanness and undesirable
ness enough in any one of us, if you look
at it, to make us loathlyl And in the
worst of US there are spots of beauty
which the skilled overlooker can find, and
no soul rises until it sees its own beauty,
and it never sees that unless it be first
thru the eyes of a friend.
Look after your children, mother, but
sugar it with deal of overlooking.
Look after your husband, woman; and
after your wife, man and look after your
men, captain and look after your pris-
oners, warden; and look after your work.
men, boss; and look after your pupils,
teacher; but don't fail to do a good deal
of overlooking.
Even Of the great Eye that seeth us
all and to whom our very inmost
thoughts are az printed page, perhaps
when it is said that He will remember
our sins against US no more forever it
means that that al-seeing Eye is, in
mercy and love and infinite pity, an AL
mighty Overlooker.

should be considered an essential fea-
ture Of the construction. When traffic
is depended upon to compact the grav-
ell, much dragging usually Is neces-
sary in order to secure a smooth, we'll
bonded surface. In fact, the cost OF
dragging, under such conditions, fire.
quently may exceed the cost of secur-
ing a well-bOnded surface by means
of rolling.
The construction method described
above is modified quite frequently by
emitting the subgrade trench and the
rolling. The practice followed in many
localities is simply to grade up the
roadbed and heap gravel along the
central portion. Traffic Is then de-
pended upon to spread and compact
the gravel and produce a uniform sur
face. While some Of the roads con-
structed in this way are great improve
ments over the original earth roads
they are nearly always crowned too
much for comfortable driving, and sell
dom wear as well as when the more
careful method of construction is fol-
lowed. 1t is believed, therefore, that
in the long run It usually pays to en-
plOy trenched subgrade and to COM
pact the surface by rolling, though a
possible exception to the economy Of
trenched subgrade may exist where
good gravel may be obtained very
cheap. In this case 1t may be cheaper
to surface the entire roadway than to
incur the additional expense of trench

prepared by the United States Depart

Figure 1 shows a typical cross sec
ton for gravel-road surface and in
dicates the customary steps involved
in the construction of such a surface.
The limiting thicknesses shown on this
cross section are by ne means followed
universally. but are believed to repre-
sent the best current practice. The
minimum thickness shown is supposed
to be employed where the traffic is
light and the subgrade is uniformly
stable, while the maximum thickness
is adapted for opposite conditions.
Perhaps the most usual compacted
thickness of surface is eight inches at
the center and six inches at the edges.
The difference in thickness between
the edges and center is effected by
making the crown of the subgrade fiat
ter than that of the surface.
The construction of a gravel road
usually is divided into two entirely dis
tinct classes of work. The work of
grading and preparing the subgrade
falls into one class and that of haul
ing. spreading and cOmpacting the
gravel into the other. The first class
of work has been discussed at consid-
cradle length I'm connection with earth
and sand-clay roads, but since 1t Is
desired to emphasize certain features
of subgrade preparation that are of
increased Importance In connection
with gravel-rOad construction both
classes Of work will be considered in
the following discussion:
Preparation OF, the Subgrade.
In grading the roadbed and prepar-
ing the subgrade for a gravel surface.
it should be borne in mind also that
the more expensive a road surface, the
greater should be the care exercised
to prevent it from being damaged
