TOO FEW ARTISTIC ROADslDES
In That Respect 1t Must Be Admitted
That the United States is Far
Behind Europe.

The advantage and pleasure to be
derived from an artistic roadside seem
so apparent that it would appear I'M
necessary to comment on the matter,
but when we travel about and see our
highways with their bordering improve
uents we are forced to the conclusion
that the appearances are not sufficient
ly appreciated.
Streets of the usual boX-type of
clapboard houses may be found in and
about most of our cities. That they
are devoid of any artistic conception
is particularly proved when we con
trast them with the roadsides which
may be seen in charming variety
throughout the most progressive Euro
pean countries.
The awkward boxlike type shows n
lack Of thought beyond merely filling
out the physical requirements, where
as the European type shows grace
full treatment of the roof lines and
grouping of the chimneys.
In countries where the general sur
roundings are so artistic 1t becomes
the natural habit to follow the preva-
lent examples, so that the idea when
once started has a natural growth.
Architectural design may be arts
tically and economically applied to all
classes of buildings. Notwithstanding
the general opinion that such thought
Is only applicable to expensive con-
structlon. When we arrive Mt n prop
err appreciation of the artistic roadside
we will not hesitate to insist on arehi-
tectural treatment of all construction
work of whatever class.

BUILDING ROADS IN ALASKA
Road Commissioners Find Trouble In
Maintenance on Account Of Mar
row Tired Trucks.

Alaska has been building roads since
1905. 1t has built 920 miles Of wagon
roads. 629 miles of winter sled roads
and 2,210 miles Of trails. One OF these
roads was built for motorcar traffic,
but more than go trucks and passen.
ger cars were in use over them at the
close of the last fiscal year.
Much damage has been done TO the
roads by heavy narrow-tired trucks,
and the board of road commissioners
finds troubles of maintenance with
them always. In addition, they found
1t necessary to build five-mile road
along hillside last summer by cover
Ing the road bed with willow cordu-
roy and surfacing the corduroy with
gravel because the material underlying
the location consisted OF six feet of
gravel on the bed rock, forty feet of
clear Ice on the gravel and two feet of
moss and tundra on top.

TO HARMONIzE WITH HOUSE
Be Laid Out Solely With That
Object In View.

The garden surrounding n residence
must harmonize with the structure. IL
the latter be palace the grounds
should have palatial treatment; II a
simple cottage or bungalow of modest
appearance. a quiet, simple, almost
rustic scene may be made to sur
round the domielle. This argument
may be followed out to its natural con-
cluslon by the thought Tor statemenD
that If one inhahits a natural cave no
gardening would be necessary or even
advisable. Soaring from this basis to
the other extreme, It will readily be
seen that magnificent home must
have liberal and harmonious treat
ment or 1t, as well as the grounds,
must suffer. Large residences OF
pretentious or classical architecture
should be at once planted about with
a certain amount Of large and preten-
tiOus trees.

HOSPITAL SHIP IS
SUNK BY GERMANS
VESSELS CARRYING SICK AND
WOUNDED AND NURSES SENT
TO BOTTOM BY U-BOAT.
OF the 258 on-Combatants Aboard
Inflated Ship, But Twenty-four
Reached Shore After Torpedo
Had Been Launched.

London.-A German submarine, sew
enty miles from the Irish coast, on the
night of June q, torpedoed the
11,000ton hospital ship Llandovery
Castle, chartered by the Canadian gov
eminent, and in the service of carrying
wounded and sick from England to
Canada. The ship was then ON her
way to England. She had on board 25S
persons, so men of the Canadian army
medical corps and Ii women nurses.
Only "a, including the captain, are
reported saved. The attack was with
out warning.
The submarine commander, who or
dered the captain, several of his of
ficers and Major Lyon of the medical
corps aboard, said he sunk the ship
because she was carrying American
aviation officers and others in the fight
ing service of the allies. He added
later that the vessel was carrying mu-
milton stores, because of an explosion
which occurred aft.
Many Killed in Engine Room.
All lights were burning when the
Landovery Castle was torpedoed.
These included a huge electric cross
over the bridge and strings of white
and green lights on either side. The
Red Crosses on the sides of the vessel
were illuminated.
According to Red Cross information,
many were killed in the engine rooms.
There is hardly any doubt of this, as
there was no response to Captain
Sylvesters signals from the bridge
after the torpedo struck. AS the en-
ginemen We're either killed or left
their posts, there was no one to shut
off the power, and the ship kept on
her way, Notwithstanding the great
holes torn by the torpedo, not begin
ming to slow down until the water
rushed into the boiler room, extinguish-
ing the fires
Nursing Sister Margaret Frazier
youngest daughter of the late Duncan
Cameron Frazier, formerly lieutenant
governor of Nova Scotia, was in charge
of the sisters aboard the Llandovery
Castle.
One of the boats of the Llandovery
Castle, containing twelve nursing sis
tiers, was seen to capsize, according to
latest information. The sisters were
drowned.

in money and labor on the public roads
aggregated only S900Oo.000, compared
with some $300,00000Q for 1917 Thus
the public roads have been changed
with bewildering rapldity from the
status of the purely local utility to that
of utility of national Importance and
scope.
II is well known that the railroads Of
the United States are unable to carry
the enormous traffic now offered for
transportation, and Il Is to be expected
that the public roads will from now on
have added to their present traffic bur
dens such freight as may be shifted to
them to relieve railway congestion.
1t is beyond question that for pas
senger haul the public roads are used
to a greater extent than the railros DIS.
These impressive conditions have been
created within the span of single gem
Grafton.
On July IL, 1916, President Wilson
approved measure generally known
as the federal-aid road act. which car
ried an appropriation of 100000 to
aid the states In the construction of
rural post roads and $10.000.000 to be
expended for the construction and
maintenance Of forest roads.

BUFFALO MINE co.
MOVES TO PICHER;
MIAMI METALS co,

The Miami Metals Company will
begin to raze and move the Buffalo
mill, located about a mile and O
half northwest of Quapaw to q lease
northwest of Picher, joining the Blue
Diamond.
The Buffalo mill was erected by the
Buffalo Mining Company several
months ago and later passed into the
hands of the Healdton Lead and Zinc
Company.
A high face of ore was discovered
in the ground at the Buffalo mine,
but for some reason he real diggings
which is believed to be there has
never been found. Pockets Of the
richest lead and zinc have been
found but they are not extensive
enough to make them really profit
able.
The Miami Metals Company pur-
chased the Picher lease a few days
ago and followed it up by buying the
Buffalo mill.

WILL ERECT NEW MILL
ON THE KANSAS SIDE

The Kings Brand lease located 9
mile and a half north of Picher just
across the state line in Kansas, on the
Wright land, is being prepared fol
the erection of a new concentrating
plant. The mill site is being staked
out.
The mill shaft is down to 235 feet
and work was started on the field
shaft last Thursday which is now
down to 25 or so feet and will be sunk
to 800 feet. Owing to the heavy flow
of water at $50 feet the mill shaft
was stopped while the field shaft was
being sunk, and as the Broom Corn
won their water fight of the same
kind both shafts will go to the lower
run of zinc ore. The ground will be
thoroughly opened up by the time the
new mill is completed. The Cortez
Mining company, which is composed
of Jefferson City, Mo-, capitalists, who
let a contract last week for the erec-
tion of the new mill on the James j.
Whitebird land in Picher, are the own
ers and operators of the King Brand
mine,

stuff.
The Brinson-Kirtley Company, like
many others in that section, were
stopped by the water just at the
time when they were getting into the
good ore. With a splendid mill
ready to operate and shaft to the
ore they were compelled to wait un-
til the water could be pumped out
but, unlike some of the others, they
assisted in getting it out.
1t is believed that it will be possi-

the business men of that town, for the
establishment of his foundry and ma
chine shops in that town. The plans

was bought and assembled for the
Baxter plant will be removed to Qua

amount the people of Baxter were
asked to take. We understand that
work on the new plant will be started
right away.
