FIX UP THE ROADS

The recent showery weather, combined with
GOODNESS and lack of sunshine and wind, have put
the country roads in horrible condition. The only
exceptions are those bits of oad-and there are
not many of thetn-where there is proper drainage
and where gravel surfacing has become to we'll
worked into the clay to provide a solid foundation.
Earth roads everywhere are about as nearly i'm
|passable as they can be.
There is an %in1tnense amount of hauling to be
done. A very large percentage, Of the wheat that,
has been raised in this section is still on the farms
where it was raised, and farmers are, anxious to
market it as soon as possible. If the roads freeze
up in their present condition and remain for any
length of time uncovered with snow, the difficulties
Of hauling will be greatly increased. There are
miles OF road in such condition that if frozen now it
would be practically impossible for a team 10 walk
over them without load of any kind.
This condition can be remedied by the prompt
use Ct the road drag. Presumably the roads cannot
now be put IN very good condition, but they can be"
50 s11ootted that when frozen they will be passable.
Il that work is to be done it must be done now.
Any morning We may wake up tp find that the
ground is frozen like a rock, and the roads fixed in
tteaS, present form, with all their ruts, Jumps and
jagged monstrosities. "A few hours work done
now will quadruple the hauling possibilities over
our roads. Adelay may makt this work impossible.

BORROWING.

At the opening session OF the annual meeting
OF the National Grange at Wichita, Kansas, the DEF
egates were told that the American farneS must re-
trench and quit borrowing if he is ever to: see the
dawn of an era of prosperity. II that abatement
had been made by a man not associated in anyway
with the farming industry it hight have been re-
sented as an ilnpertinence. It9may be SO resented
in any case. But the speaker, who was addressing
a gathering of farmers, while not a farmer himself,
is the legal representative of the great farm organ
ization whose delegates he was addressing, has been
associated with the Grange for years, and may be
presumed to be sympathetic toward the. farmer and
desirous OF promoting his interest.
OF course Mr.. Atkeson, the speaker, did not
mean to irlplyst that the farmer, any mare than any
other business man. should not borrow money. He
did mean, undoubtedly, I'd cali attention to the fact
that prosperity cannot be attained BY Borrowing
money, a fact which not a few people seem to have
overlooked. G
When one borrows money he has assumed an
obligation Which. must be met by realizing on past

The stabilizing of the airplane in some such
manner as has been achieved by some Of our army
experts has obviously been the next logical step vi
the development Of aircraft. The remarkable thing
about the subject is that such a satisfactory. and
really remarkable measure of success has been at.
tanned before the public was aware that any salts
factory progress whatever had been made.
,sThe gyroscopic device with which the expert
mental planes have been equipped has, according
to the announcements. kept those planes true to
their given direction on flights as long as go miles.
BY their use it is said to- be possible to cause a
Ipilotless plane tesrise to a desired height and then
to start off horizontally in any pre-arranged direc-
ton. 1t is possible fo start a plane off toward. a
target ten miles away and to cause it to reach that
target with a remarkable degree of accuracy.
The possibilities of such a device in warfare
are inestirnable. But it will not be necessary to go
to war to demonstrate the value of such an inven-
ton. Thus far the airplane has depended for its
safety and its direction on the Anceasing vigilance
of it's human pilot. The strain involved has been
tremendous. The new stabilizer. fit works as. de-
scribed, will relieve much of this tension. It is not
to be supposed that in ordinary work. planes will
be sent on long journeys without some one5Gn board
to manage them. But in the performance Of much
of the workfa mechanical device will be substituted
for human nerves and muscles, and the flying ma
chimes field of usefulness will thereby DE immense

RIVER o

In his address before the Kiwanis club Yesterday
Professor Eff Chandler presented in a yerv lucid
manner the main facts relating to the control and
Improvement Of the Red and Red Lake rivers as
that work may be expected to affect Grand Forks
The, first phase of the address dealt with possible
improvements at Grand Forks. The speaker re-
|peated the verdict frequently rendered BY himself
and other engineers in the past that the dammihg of
the river at or near Grand Forks presents no posi-
|bilities of the development of power on a worth
while scale. With an average drop of only three
inches to the mile of current; with the river bed
proper too narrow to provide adequate Storage /;
with soil Conditions such as to. render impossible
stable footings. for a high dam except at prohibitive
cost; with the surroundings such that storage at a
high level would entail. enormous costs in damages
to property; and with the constant liability to food
ling in even moderately rainy periods, the develop
tnent Of power at this point may be dismissed as a
dream. ~
This, however, does not dispose of the PROPOSE
ton OF dammlng the river for other purposes. The
building and maintenance of a low dam, say ten
feet high, would be inexpensive, and is quite feast
bic. Such+a dam, built a, little below the city, would
render the stream at this point more slightly and
more sanitary, would check in some measure the
sliding of the banks, would provide a dependable
and more desirable supply of water-for the CITY.
and would transform what is now at times an often
sive. ditch into ar. attractive place for boating. These
are substantial advantages which could be realized
without great cost:
There is an obstacle in the fact that the Red
river is still held by congress to be a nayieable
stream, and as such is under the control Of the
war department. The department. does not form
ally permit the building of immovable structures
across waters under its control. There seems to
BE-, no prospect Of having the river declared nom
|navigable. and thesscost OF locks to comply with
department regulations would be prohibitive. That
being true, tAesobstac1e Of department control must
be eyaded or the project abandoned. Evasion ii
such cases is actually practiced, as it has beer, on
