Has Narrow Escape From
Drowning on Way to Miller

washington Times-We have just
learned that Val LaBue had a very
harrow escape from drowning in the
flood following the big thaw two or
three weeks ago. He was on his road
to Miller and in attempting to cross
a creek his horse and buggy were
washed down stream and the horse
drowned. He managed to catch hold
OF a bridge - he was being carried
down stream and pulled himself out.
1t was several days before the buggy
was found.

tor Hiram ". Johnson third, his name

Wood Carries Chicago
General Wood carried Chicago and
Cook county. but Governor Lowden's
vote in the state outside OF Chicago
gave him a lead which progressed
steadily with the counting OF returns.
Only the names Of Wood and Low
den appeared on the ballot, Senator
Johnson's strength was in Chicago,
where most of his vote appeared.
Governor Lowden and General WOOD
were the only candidates who made
any speaking campaigns in Illinois.
Women cast a courtesy vote in many
counties, and in some places the elcc-
tion clerks failed to separate men and
women ballots. The women's vote,
however, was SO comparatively light
as not to effect the result, and 1t was
divided in much the same ratio as the
male vote.
In Chicago, where the presidential
preference primary was combined with
the election Of ward committeeman.
the kidnapping Of election judges and
workers, shootings and sluggings and
other acts of violence marked the bal
loting.
Complaints OF frauds, from intimid-
alton of voters to marked ballots, kept
the police and election commissioners
officers busy throughout the day.

ROCK FOR HIGHWAY Bull DING
First Systematic Efforts to Determine
Value Were Made in French
Laboratory in 1878.

The first systematic attempts to de
termine the value of rock for road
building purposes by means OF labor
atory tests were made in France.
where in 1878 road materials lab
oratory was founded in the French
School of Bridges and Roads. Here
the Deval abrasion test was adopted,
and this test with slight moditica-
ton has been accepted as standard
throughout the United States. The
test is named from its inventor 1t
was first used in connection with con-
tract work in the city of Paris. Many
valuable data were collected in this
laboratory on the hardness and tough
ness Of rock, and tests for these prop
critics were developed which were, In
principle, the same as those in use

ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Judgment Rendered Against County
Because CulVert Was Obscured
by Weed Patch.

An argument for good roads that
carries with it sharp punch in the
way of substantial judgment for
damages is disclosed in recent de-
cision of the supreme court of Wis
consin. In this case it appears that
when a machine went out of the traf-
&c path of an old-fashioned country
road for the purpose of letting a
tractor pass it struck the cement
curling at the end of a culvert which
crossed the road at this point. Be
ing covered with weeds the obstruc
ton was not seen until the accident
occurred. The county was held liable
IN damages for the accident.
