A1nQ OF Gravel Beong COnN0erod
When we speak of gravel to be
used for road building many people
Immediately think of the wash gravel
found on our river beds, but this
should be put out Of mind. con-
slider the wash gravel not only worth
less for road construction, but q
positive damage when placed in the
road and / would not use any Of 1t
either in its natural form or after
being crushed in q rock crushing ma
chime. There Is no place in the
county where I would use wash
gravel unless 1t were the fine gravel
from the size of q hens egg down,
and that to be mixed thoroly with
the soil in the road where 1t would
harden into such q mixture that the
gravel would be tightly imbedded in
the soil or clay. That kind of mix
ture would keep the road from pull
verifying and the gravel affords the
wearing service.

How to Handle 1t

JIdtCl. III
How to Handle 1t
The means of handling this ma
terial to move it from the natural
deposit to the place where it Is to be
used in the road beds is by loading
it into railroad cars with steam
shovels, dumping it from the rail-
road cars into storage bins and then
drawing it from the storage bins into
the dump wagons or motor trucks
that dump it in the road bed.
Nature has Been Preparing
The railroad is already constructed
to within about half mile of the
gravel deposits and a gulch by the
side of the gravel deposit affords the
natural place to build railroad at
the edge of it. The means of dump
ing the gravel from the railroad
trains and storing it, constitutes
what is known as nighttime. A
nighttime is a trestle long enough to
hold train of ten or fifteen cars so
constructed that gravel can be
dumped from the cars into the bins
below, somewhat the same as sugar
beets are dumped at the sugar fac
tory. The trestle Is built higher than
the bins so there is room to drive
wagons or vehicles under them at the
side and allow the gravel to be drawn
out by gravity into the vehicles.
Plan for Handling Coal
While these high-lines are being
built arrangements can be made for
handling coal and beet pulp in the
same way. Coal bins will enable the.
railroad company to dump their coal
cars and start them right back for
the mine without unnecessary delay
and it will enable persons buying or
hauling coal to load their wagons
quickly instead of taking the old
slow process Of shoveling it from the
car into the wagon. This Is part
of the process of breaking the car
famine so much desired by the rail-
road companies and by the govern
ment as well as the public in general.
Handle A-ulp in Same Manner
Beet pulp can be dumped in the
same way, either into bins from the
wagon or into pits under the trestle,
from which wagons can easily be
loaded. BY this method the beet pulp
as 1t comes from the sugar factory
will run into the car direct, instead
Of being carried to the big pit at the
rear of the factory. It can be trans
ported to all parts of the county so
stockmen and farmers thruout the
county can have equal advantages in
the use Of 1t.
The location for the twelve or If
teen high-lines that I propose for
construction thruout the county will
be given In the next chapter.

in sufficient quantity to make 1t
