continent.
Governor Northern is doing
inuiiii good work in the interest of
law and order.
We always had our doubts aboul
“revising the tnrill alter the elec-
t ion by its friends.”
It is up to us to congratulate
'i in* Progress on its Clirisimus
edition, which wo do.

it la our taint, but we ask you to
help us gather the news.
Whether u man is a prohibition
iot or not sometimes depends on

is here after many days of waiting.
Call us up and tell us all about
it. *

we wish to say that the Herald
will always carry all the leg i
advertisements, whether as the
official organ or otherwise, as w*
want the readers of this pa
per to get tli * benefit of all til
important news.
The Sheriff, who has tlip ap
pointment of tin* official organ ( f
the county, his been carrying an
aunonneiMnent in tins paper that
The Tribune-Messenger, the new
paper in our city, would be Un
official organ, until a few days
ago, when the statement was an
tlioriz'd that the Herald would
be continued as tho organ.
The Sheriff himself, will fullv
clear up the mutter. We have no
complaint to nuke. The Sheriff
h nj been quite g-morous with The
Herald in the past, and we appre
ciate past favors too well to feel
the less appreciative now.
The public is only interested ii
reading lie* news, and this, t<>
get her with all legal notie*s, will
continue to lie published by us, as
above stated
\\ e observe that, (lie price of
paper climbs faster than the price
ot cotton, which leads us to sus
pect that old rags are being used
over for clothing during these
panicky times, not only by edi
tors, but by some others, as well.
DIRT ROAD BUILDING.
How to Make the Roadbed Solid and
Do Away With Ruti.
In the construction of a new road
through an open country the usual ,
custom has boon to excavate ditches
with the road grader and throw all
the material Into the center of the
roadway, thus making what Is often
called a turnpike. The objection to
this method is that the mo-c Important I
part of the roadbed, the foundation,
Is composed largely of soft material,
which docs not easily become consoli
dated. A better way would he to re
move entirely all sod from the por
tions oxeuvnted and use It for lining
in the low places, where It can l»c cov
ered with at least three feet of earth,
says Samuel II. I-en, stute engineer of
South Dakota. After the sod Is re
moved the road grader enn l>e prop
erly used for carrying up the earth
into the roadway, and the entire road
bed is formed of solid material, which
In its future settlement Is compacted
uniformly and will lie less likely to
develop soft 8|>ot8, ns would he the
case If sod is thrown Into It Indiscrim
inately. On a level or nearly level
prairie the roadbed should lie built up
n foot or two above the original sur
face to provide suitable drainage from
the center of the roadway to the
ditches, and the crown of the road
should be sufficient to allow tbe water
from rainfalls to be quickly carried toff.
A good road In order to stay good
must be properly maintained and kept
In good condition. A very Important
feature of proper maintenance Is that
of keeping the ruts out by continual
raking or dragging. Whenever ruts
are allowed to remain they will hold
water from every ruin, which, unless
removed, will soften the roadbed and
result lu chuck holes, Injurious ullke
to the team, the wagon and the driver.
The process of dragging, smoothing
and planing the road with one of the 1
numerous styles of road drags now
happily corning Into use In many lo
calities Is so simple and inexpensive
that there is no excuse for allowing
any road to become rough and rutty
through neglect.

Remedy For Bad Roads.
The remedy for had roads, It seem*
to me, lies wholly with the men who
own property along them. Elect no
man to the position of overseer who
does not understand how to make goodj
roads out of poor ones. If there Is no
such ninn lu your neighborhood, hire j
one from outside. This Is, nlnety-ulD* |
times out of a hundred, the wisest i
tiling to do, for the chances are that
there is no man In the neighborhood
who has had practical experience
enough to make It safe to trust the work
to him, says Eben E. Rexford 1n tbe
Outing Magazine for June. lie may
have good sense, good judgment and
all that—In short, there may be the
making of a good road builder in him -
but what you need Is a man who Is a
good road builder, a man who has got
the trade already learned. In other
words, you can’t afford to wait for
home talent to develop If the man who
has developed his ability In that direc
tion is procurable. Have your rood
tax paid In cash. Secure a skilled
man, and let him assume responsibility
fur the work be undertakes. If you do
this, you stand In a fair way to solve
the problem of good roads.

Oil Road* In lllinoi*.
A most Interesting experiment is be
ing conducted in centra! Illinois, near
Springfield. The state highway com
mission Is making a test of oil on coun
try roads. While oil roads are no nov
elty in many parts of the United
States, they are not known on the
heavy black soli of central Illinois.
The top soil of the road is being mixed
with an asphalt oil to a depth of six
Inches. What the results will be bo one
cun predict, but this may be the solu
tion of the good roads problem. In
many parts of tbe Sucker State stone
roads are out of the question. With
out the muteriul near at hand the
great prairie states cannot expect to
have stone pikes, as do some of the
eastern states. Good roads must be
secured by drainage, special care and
pcsslbly by tbe use of oil. This experi
ment will be watched with a great
deal of Interest.

- “Don’t you people ever work the
roads in this section?” asked an auto-
moblliat as he pried the rear wheel of
his machine out of a rut with a fence
ratt.
“Work ’em? Well, I should say we
do,” answered Uncle Charlie Beaver
from the top rail of the fence. “Why,
we work theee roads on th’
ment plan. None of that money sys
tem for us fellers. Every farm Is as
sessed so many days’ work on th'
highway, an’ after th’ farm work Is
all' done an’ we ain’t nuthin’ else ter
do we all turn out, thirty or forty o’
us, with plows, horses, picks, shovels
an’ hoes to work th’ roads. I tell you,
It’s a picnic. Work? Why, they make
th’ dirt fly until they get tired. Then
we find some shady spot to' rest, eat

The road would run along a series of

plans, It Is believed that property own
