AN IOWA MAN TALKS
OF OUR COUNTY ROADS

A. ]. Augustine of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, is here visiting his brother
at Moreland and getting ready for
trip thru the park. He looked the
country over some to see how it
had been developing since he was out
here some years ago, and one day
he asked how much money Binghom
county had spent on the new bond
roads. On being informed that it
was six hundred thousand, he re-
piled that we might better have kept
our money than to eypend it the way
We did The brother who lives here
said, Now there is one man l want
you to say that to. 1t is the editor
OF our paper; he has been trying
hard to solve the road problem and
has been thru all the ups and downs
of the question and he, seems to
pretty generally endorse the way
the road building has been carried
on"
When the message was delivered
at first hand. We editor asked what
kind of roads we ought to build,
and the Cedar Rapids visitor said
that there is only one kind Of road
that is all right and that is concrete
base with brick surface. ~
On being asked if he would rec
Ommend that kind of construction
for this sparsely settled country
where we had little or no grading
done, where the distances are long,
the people poor the soil dry and
chalky, and with heavy products like
beets and potatoes that must be
hauled to market, he said it might
not be advisable under those con-,
ditions. 1t was explained that we
make no bricks here, and that ev-
erybody who ever tried it had soon
given it up and gone out of the
business and that We ship our brick
in from Ogden, Salt Lake, and as
far away as Kansas City. Then Mr..
Augustine said he doubted the wis
dom of using bricks here, but sug-
gested that we might find suitable
materials and make them successful
ly. &t5+j .
The question was then asked what
he would advise doing when the
county had bond money and the peo-
pie wanted roads they could haul
and travel over. Would he build
grades? Everybody irrigates and
some water gets into the road in
summer and then there is the win
ter drainage.
Mr.. Augustine said he would not
build the grades so heavy, so high
as ours. Back in Indiana he had
visited where they had built the lev
ell road system, cutting thru hills
and filling in hollows, and in win
ter the cuts drifted in till it had
to be hauled out, and in wet weather
the sides washed in SO the mud
had to be hauled out or in some
way removed from the hard surface
or it would remain buried. He had
observed that where we had gravel
ed our roads we had overdone it, and
there was too much gravel. Where
the sprinkler and steam roller had
been used the roads are in good
condition but he had heard that they
were wearing rough and dusty be-
fore that was done.

MISSING TROUSERS
 TURN UP AT HOME

When I. Klein, proprietor of the Phoenix Novelty and Notion company, lost a pair of trousers one day last week while carrying them, presum- ably with the coat and vest of the suit after having had the entire outfit cleaned and pressed, the incident was strange enough to claim a reporters attention, with the result that instead of placing an ad in the want columns MT. Klein had the benefit of a nice lit tie story about the missing garment.
 Now the trousers, or as the other story had it, the pants, have been found and this is the account of it: Klein went home after a futile search for the missing trousers, had his diTf9 uer. and then stepped out on the porch for a look at the fading sunset Sud- denIv light-such a one has never came from a setting sun-broke on MT KIein's mind. He looked himself over carefully, verified the suspicion that had struck him a moment before, and then called Mrs. Klein
