It Is a remarkable coincidence that
three county commissioners, each oc
cupying a corner store on the north
side of Fourth street, have died while
In office. First was John O. McOol-
rlck, then came Walter Nelson, a little
closer In toward the Union depot, and
then Mr. Wilbur T. Bhlnholser, whose
place was on Plum and Fourth. These
gentlemen have died since some of the
present members of the board have
been In office. Dr. John Ingalls, who
died while running the drug store at
Poplar and Fourth, was an ex-county
commissioner.

The man of today confronts many
puzzles in business and in social life,

be selected to put the oil to a decisive
test.
The experiment of oil as a dust layer
will be watched with keen Interest, not
only by the mayor, the commissioner
of public works and other city offlciula
Interested In the municipality, but by
citizens generally as well, for street
sprinkling Is one of the most vexed
munlcl]tal questions In New Orleans,
where water is so scarce in the sum
mer. Mayor Capdevlelle Is very much
Interested In the experiment that Is to
be made by the Times-Democrat, apd
he thinks oil, If it ever should be plen
tiful and cheap enough, might solve
the problem of laying summer city dust.
Other city officials are as inu-*h In
terested as the mayor, and they are
looking forward to the putting of oil
on the streets of New Orleans with
more than ordinary concern.
For several years oil has been used in
southern California towns to lay the
dust in the streets in summer and on
the roads In the country. There oil has
long ago ceased to b* an experiment
us u dust layer, and the people nay It
Is a splendid summer roadmaker. When
the oil first touches the dust-covered
street it spreads out among the tiny
atoms pretty much as does a drop of
oil precipitated to the surface of water
in a bucket. When a quantity of oil
has been spread and the surface of the
street Is covered, the oil gravitates
down through the dust and dirt, and
solidifies «»r cukes the entire surface of
the street. The sun dries out and har
dens the surface, and a splendid road
is the result, almost as hard as as
phalt, and with all the dust and dirt
Imprisoned'Under the hard upper crust
made by the hardening of the otl-
soaked top dirt and dust.
In California the oil Is none too plen
tiful, but It Is easy to lay.does the w ork
expected of It most effectually, and the
when once the street
pie of the City. In New Orleans
is genernlly very, scarce/ and that
makes the sprinkling question a diffi
cult one. It may be that oil will fur
nish the solution of th*- question, and
I see no reasonl why it should not,
have not made u ptudy of the question
of oil-sprinkling, and 1 am not famll
iar with the subject, but If It haa
proved a success in California and
tho streets of Beaumont there Is no
reason why it should not prove a sue
C**s here, and I expect It will.

the streets as a dust layer, and if
keeps the dust down after it Is put on

ture of oil in this country, and I would
not be surprised to see it In use gener

city a great deal of money every year,
and It may be that oil will take the
place of water. I shall, wnfch the ex

“The thre* points on which I am
most In doubt Are as to the effect
tho oil. Will it discolor the asphalt?
WUl It create an unpleasant smell? and
what sort of footway will the street
saturated with It present? I do not
know that I have ever heard of oil
being used on asphalt streets, and I am
nnturaly anxious as to what effect It
would have on the coloring of the as
