Longest Stretch
1.-THE project 1t Casselton was the
longest stretch treated. The Cass
county commissioners were among
the first 70 realize the benefits to be
derived from this treatment and to
provide their portion Of the funds
necessary to carry on this work.
Asphaltic oil will be used west Of
Valley City and in Grand Forks
county. Due to the fact that the re-
grading and shaping was not COM
pleted soon enough the application
Of the oil It these places was post
poned until next summer.
THE economics Of this treatment
may be briefly stated .: follows: It
solves the acute dust problem and
conserves material free from cor
rugations. By forming . coating
over the road surface such highway
will shed most of the moisture, the
subgrade will become more stable
and the troubles from the spring
breakup minimised although It may
take more than one coating to &C.
complish this.
"Under average conditions it is
found to be the best practice to give
the road q second application the
succeeding year, then to skip . year
and give it q third application the
following year. Bv 50 doing, a
treated mat is built up and strength
cned from year to year"

FOR EVERYONE
Visiting Teacher Plan Saves
Money For State, Coun.
ties and Teachers

Savings Of more than 100000
were made by the state and its
school teachers this year as re-
suit Of the abandonment Of the old
teachers institute for the visiting
teacher plan, according to data COM
piled by Miss Bertha Palmer, su-
perintendent Of public instruction.
A total Of $9c, $50 was saved by
the school districts, Miss Palmer
said. by reason of the fact that
4,639 teachers attended one-day
conferences under the new plan in
stead of five days for the insti-
tute. She estimates that the saving
Of four school days per teacher
figured on an average salary Of
500 a month, means that the coun-
ties received $92.78O more labor
than otherwise would have been the
case.
Under the institute plan. she said,
each teacher spent about Sis for
board and room in attending the
institute and this did not include
their carfare. They were put to
practically no expense by the visit
ing teacher plan and hence made a
personal saving which she csti-
mates at $69,585.
In addition. Miss Palmer said, the
visiting teacher plan proved cheap
err than the institute system. An
nual reports Of county superineen-
dents show that in 1922 the aver.
age cost Of the institute was $o1.35;
in 1923 it was 1874; in 1924 it was
sol SO and in 1925 it was $l0S.45.

||SOUSA'S BAND
COMING HERE
Famous Musical Organization
Signed to Play in Bis.
marck October /

One Of the outstanding musical
events of next winter in Bismarck
will be the appearance here on
Monday night, October I, of John
Philip Sousa and his 75-piece con-
cert band, according to an an.
nouncement today that the interna-
tionally famous musical organiza-
ton had been signed to appear here
on that date.
This will be Sousa's 40th tour Of
the United States and, while it is
not announced as his farewell tour,
it is doubtful if the veteran band
master will again appear in this part
of the country, because of his ad-
vancing age.
For many years past, Sousa has
toured the country with 5O.piece
band, but his tour next fall will be
with an augmented organization
numbering IS bandsmen, in addition
to several soloists.
The concert will be given at the

County officials said tho toad

OIL SURFACE
ON HIGHWAYS
SUCCESSFUL
Highway Bulletin Tells of Elk
periments on N. y. Roads
Last Year

People in tho Bismarck vicinity
are particularly interested in the
success Of North Dakota's first
oiled highway, as described in the
current issue Of the North Dakota
Highway Bulletin, inasmuch as the
state highway commission and the
Burleigh county commissioners now
have under discussion a proposal to
oil or Tarvia-surface about three
miles Of u. s. highway 10 between
the east end Of Main avenue in Bis
marck and point just tc ond the
state penitentiary.
This piece of road carries a great
amount Of travel and there is little
question that tire ting it viii oil CT
Tarvia would put it in much better
condition throughout the summer
and at the same time keep great
clouds of dust from cnveloping the
vicinity continually.
Something Must Be Done
"When dust on road during the
summer months becomes SO heavy
as to obscure a drivers vision and
becomes a menace to safety" says
the article in the Highway Bulletin,
cor where traffic becomes so heavy
as to render it impossible to keep
an ordinary dirt or gravel road in q
smooth and easy riding condition,
then highway engineers must devise
some method to ovcrcom> these
handicaps.
"A paved road is the 100 per cent
solution to such q problem where
money is plentiful and the matter Of
expense is secondary. But, where
ones income is restricted, a more
economical method must be found,
even though it be somewhat in the
nature of an experiment or at best
merely transitory solution"
First Experiment
lnasmuch as the heaviest traffic
in the state is found in the extreme
eastern portion, especially in Cass
county, the department decided upon
highway No. 10 as the road for the
first experiment, the article states
The program of surface oil treat
ment was begun in small way on
this road. The work was done un-
der the supervision of T. G.. Ploma-
sen, maintenance engineer.
The article further states:
"Whilc the use Of tar or oil to
treat gravel surfaced highways may
seem to many to be a new scheme
this method has long passed the ex.
perimental stage and is generally
recognized by highway engineers as
the most economical method of pro-
longing the life of gravel or crushed
stone roads. The method of appli.
cation adopted in North Dakota is
the one that has been found most
successful after many years of trial
! in older states and the results that
may be expected arc definitely
known.
Treatment was decided upon at
five places in the state: "a miles on
U. S. highway No. 10 at Cassclton
