New Rock crusher.

New Rock Crusher.
The nsw Acme rock -crusher for the
county arrived Wednesday. 1t is more
particularly designed for road work
and about the first use Of 1t will prob
ably be in the pit on the Cory grade.
We believe the purchase Of this crush
er is one of the best moves that could
have been made. The superiority Of
the gravel road over every other kind
has been amply demonstrated n,ny
times and In many places. In fact
in some parts OF the country cement
built roads are being replaced by
gravel. With this machine almost
any size rock can be quickly made
into gravel. saving the hauling OF
gravel long distances to places where
gravel Is not convenient
