DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
Road Can Be Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each Side.

Dirt roads are the cheapest-and
for large part of the year the best
highways that can be built. Because
we want to use our roads every day in
the year we are willing to go to the
expense of hard road building, but
that is no reason for discarding the
dirt roads entirely.
More than half the wear on the hard
road can be avoided by making good
dirt track on each side. People will
use the dirt road from preference
when it is passable. The life of the
hard road will be greatly heightened,
the cost of repairs reduced, and the
needs of the road users better served
by building this combination of hard
and dirt roads.

ROAD /.
BUILDING
MAINTENANCE is A BIG ITEM

By f. b. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins Colo)
There are two elements that should
be figured In the cost of road con-
struction. First, the cost of construc-
ton. Second, the cost of maintenance.
1t is the yearly average of these two
that should always be considered
when figuring the cost Of road. True
II is, that roads may be constructed
i'm such manner as to need very lit
tie maintenance, but these roads are
very expensive to build, and it is out
of the question to contemplate them
for the West. The other type of road
is the road that costs a moderate
sum to construct and then a yearly
charge for maintenance of said road.

FRUIT AND MELON SHIPMENTS.

As officially prepared by E. ]. Wat son, agricultural agent for the ?. X N. w. Railroad:
 The shipments of fruit and melons over the Prescott and Northwestern Railroad closed Saturday night The movement this season was lighter than for the past two years, due to the severe freeze of last January which destroyed the greater part of the peaches and the dry weather this summer which retarded the full de- velopment of the small crop left by the freeze The cantaloupe and wat ermelon crop was also cut short from forty to sixty per cent by the dry weather during the last sixty days. However, notwithstanding the drouth, the quality of the crops was splendid, and the prices received were the best ever received during the history of the fruit industry here. The melon crop will bring in more than $200,0OO and the peach crop around Sl5O'OOO The total movement amounted to 360 cars, distributed as follows.
