An improved Road in the Northwest.
country, in many places of a volcanic
ash as light as flour. AS fast as cuts
are opened up and fills made in this
light soil the wind whips out the fill
slopes and sand dunes creep into rock
cuts, completely blocking the road.
Oil is the only agency yet found to
stop the trouble. The equipment used
to spray the crude oil consists of two
supply tanks. or drums. in which the
oil is carried from the storage tank
at the railway siding, and a tractor,
which draws the oiling rig and sup
plies the steam through hose to the
compressor tank, which is carried on
trailer The oil is heated by the
steam and forced through hose with
a nozzle consisting of a half-inch pipe.
The steam atomizes the oil and sends
it in fine spray for 100 feet or more,
depending on whether the spray is
projected in the direction of the wind
or against it. For obvious reasons,
spraying is usually carried on in the
direction of the wind.
Where sufficient oil is used. this
means of controlling the sand dunes
Is very effective, and 1t is believed
that the cost will not be excessive,
though exact figures are not obtain

Not a Sermon

In LnlS llIo IL Is not Sd HluCu
"who can l help as it is "who
can / do and the higher men rise
on the ladder of success the more
determined they become to "do"
the other fellows.
In its early stages this is merely
shrewd business, but as it assumes
greater proportions it is dignifed
as high finance.
But it is not confined to the
ranks of the successful. The small
boy on the street begins his career
by winning the marbles away
from his playmate. He follows
this up little later by driving
hard bargain in a trade. These
successes only whet his appetite
for greater successes, and from
year to year he plans and schemes
to annex the money of other men.
To all rules there are excep-
tions, and there may be few to
this, bnt the description is fairly
applicable to the majority of man
kind.
Now don't become peeved. dear
reader, and charge Us with preach
ing, for we are all in the same sin
full old boat together, and if any,
body has to jump overheard to
save the craft from sinking we are
unanimously in favor of letting
George do it"
Away back in the dim past some
of us have read the Golden Rule
but we couldn't repeat it now, and
most of us have even forgotten
what it says. The preacher tells
us some wholesome truth in his
sermon, but the Sunday dinner
tastes SO good when we get home
from church it simply banishes
the ministerial teachings from our
minds-if they have endured that
long. And why?
Ask some wise man-we don't
know. It is simply in our blood, as
it is in yours, and we are not
responsible for t he blood that
flows in our veins.
Yes, we admit that the Lord
gave us power of will in order that
we might resist these evil ten
denotes, but generally they only APP
pear evil to us when we see them
in the other fellow.
But perhaps we've said enough
even a mouthful. We've just
been doing a little thinking, as
editors sometimes do, and our
thoughts rambled off into this
queer groove, a s we pass them
along to you, as you pay US to do.
Prof. Malaha, who was student
