Engineers Of Bureau of Public Roads
Recommend Use OF Bituminous

Owners of large farms and rural
estates seeking "A more satisfactory
type of entrance roads have applied
to the bureau Of public roads Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture for advice regarding the applica-

that such applications may be made

preparation applied cold, or an as
phaltic oil, can be used, and If applied
by the farm employees, the cost should
not exceed z or s cents a square yard
for materials. The compacted gravel
or stone road should be thoroughly
cleaned OF dust and the bitumen
applied with ordinary sprinkling
pots from which the perforated noz-
zle has been removed and the spout
carefully fiattened into a symmetrical
rectangular opening about onequarter
Of an inch WIDE so that the material
may be poured in broad, fiat stream.
If large amount of work Is to be
done, a specially designed pouring can
may be purchased of dealers in road
equipment. Care should be taken to
have an even distribution, and the
quantity, applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to a square
yard of road surface. After applying
the bituminous material, clean gravel
or stone chips should be spread even
ly over the surface, and, If possible,
rolled with a lawn or field roller.
Where gravel or chips are not avail
able, clean, coarse sand will serve as
covering material. 1t should be spread
in sufficient quantity to prevent the
bituminous material from adhering to
tires of passing vehicles. Attention is
called to the fact that this treatment
should not be made where drainage

 The dinner committee has arranged a fine program of entertainment as we'll as an elaborate dinner. me pro- gram includes an orchestra. singing boxing and wrestling contests and speaking.

EXPECT SPLIT AT CONVENTION
 IF THE G. ]. ?.
Special to The RevrewJ

TUCSON, Feb. 1S.-With ten days remaining before the Republicans of Arizona gathered to elect six delegates and six alternateS to the national con- Vention at Chicago in June, the belief grows that several factors will enter the deliberations of the gathering that will cause it to be far from haT1noni- ous. The main fight is expected to center over the desire of the Cochse ana MarIcooa county delegation for an instructed vote in Chicago in behalf of the candidacy Of Major General Leonard Wood.
 Tn Arizona" he said, "the fight is between Lowden and Wood and Low den is certain to win
 Local observers, several of them act i've Republicans, believe that in a pri- mary Wood would defeat Lowden. But these same men declare the Wood can didacy is being fostered through sen timental veneration of the memory of Theodore Roosevelt, close TIend Of Wood. E
 Cameron's candidacy for the Repub- lican nomination for senator is looked upon with favor and with misgiying by many Republican party leaders in the state. That the Coconino county man is a Vote-getter andCa hard one to beat is conceded even by those who are op- posed to him. Furthermore, his es- pousal of the candidacy of Governor Lowden has made him very unpopular with the Wood leaders in the state and particularly those in Cochise and Mar icopa counties. It is forecasted that Cameron will come to the convention here prepared for the fight of his life. He will seek an uninstructed delega- ton to Chicago and in this will be joined by the Pima county delegation, which has been hand picked by the national committeeman. Allen B. Jaynes, and reflects his wishes.
 Jaynes' Position
 The position of the national commit teeman. in the present situation, is pc culiar Always identified with the stand-pat wing of the party, an office holder under President Tatt. Jaynes has been named on the Wood cam paign committee. It is known, how ever. that he desires an uninstructed delegation from the state of Arizona Arizona will be called second during the roll call and Jaynes desires the vote of the states delegate to ue pass Nu uillil ouih lilliN co e ANeNA can be picked.
 Jaynes' greatest ambition is to con tinue in the job he now holds-nation- al committeeman from Arizona. Un- doubtedly, he will be selected by the convention to remain in the JOD. He sees, however, the weakness or his po- sition should the delegation from Ari- zona support losing D>iiuloete. Ills power, as a representative of the na- tional committee orgamzaJIUu, would be greatly reduced It is even said that Jaynes accepted a position OH the Wood campaign committee to keep the Arizona situation from getting more tangled than it is already. That Jaynes' hands will be full in his en- deayor to keep his own skirts clean and to prevent the Arizona delegation from going wrong is freely predicted.
