SUGGESTS STRAW FOR
ROADS IMPROVEMENT
IN UMAT|LLA COUNTY
E. M. Fraker, of Holdman, Says
Waste Straw is Solution to
Problem of Road Building; it
Supplies Substantial Bed.

An appeal for strawed roads is con-
taIned in a letter to w. w. Harrah'
OF this city, from II. NJ. Fraker, OF
Holdman. who gave his method for
making permanent good road beds.
The letter was given to the East Ore
gonlan for publication and is as fol-
lows:
|. There is matter which / often
hear discussed by country people ana
wonder expressed over the fact that
our authorities do not avail them-
selves of the merits so well known,
that / decided / would mention the
matter to you as a person of influence
aud Interested in good roads The
question often heard is, "Why do not
our authorities use our waste straw
to build up our road beds?' DO they
not know it's value. or is the opinion
recently heard the true reason-lts
f1oo cheap? Many country people
| know from actual experience in work.
ing troublesome pieces of road about
their own premises, the merits OF a
straw road. If the road Is first pro-
perly graded. then strawed in the soft
earth, the straw will work in ana
stand a great deal of wear. The
strawing of county roads is mostly
done when the roads are cut into ruts
and dry. This is of only temporary
benefit.
The following method will make
permanent good road beds The road
first properly graded. then strawed as
heavily as will work in. As the straw
wears in continue with another Dress
ing of straw If the grading is done
! in the fall and the process followed
the best results are obtained All
thorough strawing should be done In
the wet season. Then as the road be-
gins to wear rough in the dry season,
sufficient straw should be put on Tor
temporary purposes. Sandy loose
land may be strawed at any time.
keeping straw renewed as straw
works in. If this process is followed
I for one or perhaps two seasons road
bed is formed which is very durable
and will need only ordinary care in
/ keeping up. The strawed road is
practically as good as paving for
pleasure. and has merits of its own
especially over gravel. 1t will not cui
up as badly as gravelled road in or
dinary soft grades. 1t is easy on hor-
ses. and machinery. and especially
easy on automobile tires. An auto
will run better on good strawed road
than on paving. and it does not get
slippery at any season.
Strawed road may not sound very
aristocratic hut there are many road
users who wish those who are IN
charge Of our roads would give them
good straw roads. And it will make
better roads through the sand than
any other usual method.
This is respectfully called to your
attention with the hope from many
who are travelling our wretched roads
that better things may be accom-
plished.
Respectfully yours,
e. NJ FRAKER.

SAN FRANCISCO
NO WONDER CLUB

San Francisco didn't show any
wonderful baseball here yesterday.
The Seals have mechanical strength,
but they showed in several spots that
they can throw the ball around and
muss up plays by loose work on the
paths as well as the worst club in
the circuit. The Seals have a stronger
hitting club than the locals. Koerner

all look like good stickers. The Seals,
too. have more speed than the locals,
and better pitching.
T h 1 r work above the shoulders,
however, wouldn't set college profess
sors into joyous rawlings, and while
the Seals may land close to the top,
they don't look as strong as the Yer.
non Tigers, who played here earlier
in the season, and the Tigers e
much stronger now than at the be-
ginning OF the year. The Seals may
show better in the other games of
the series. but they didn't look so
grand yesterday.
Jim Scott pitched a tight game of
ball yesterday, most of the Seattle
runs coming over when the Seals
kicked the ball around in one inning.
Scott used a great many curve balls
yesterday and was tighter than a
spring skirt in the pinches.
