X In Building Good Roads is Proper Drainage Oilier Points of Interest Discussed la Relation to Keeping Roads io Repair A U. S. Government bulletin Buys: With an average of 27,000 tons of water fulling in the form of rain on each mile of public road In the United States annuully, it is scarcely to be marvelled at that the ten com mandments of the road builder can be summed up succinctly in the word "drainage." The saying has truth for a basis, as good drainage Is the primary requis ite for all- roads. Even in sand roads this holds true, for there "good drainage" means such as will safely remove the storm water without ero son or gullying and still rutuin the Burface moisture. To secure good drainage one must take into consideration both the sur face water nnd the underground wa ter. The surface water must be re moved quickly and completely and without subjecting the road to ex cessive scour or -erosion. For tills reason, the center of the road should be raised and the slope towards the side ditches should be from .14 to 1 Inch to each foot distance, or so thai the water will run freely to the side ditches and not How down the road or remain in puddles on the roadway. The side ditches should be of ample size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than (i Inches to each 100 feet. Frequent and am ple cross drains should be con structed and every opportunity taken to get the water away from the rood as quickly as possible. Any road along which you see water standing in the side ditches or on which pud dles of water have collected or which has been badly gullied and eroded by the rains has poor drainage and la In need of .immediate attention. In fact earth roads nearly always re quire a little attention after each rain. The split-log drag is essentially a tjol to maintain good drainage on i,ur earth roads, and should be used after each rain. On a heavy clay or gumbo soil the drag when properly used tends to puddle the roud sur face, keep it free from ruts, dense, smooth and hard, thus securing the best surface drainage possible. Hut in many places the under ground water Is too near the surMce and must be removed before a good road will be possible. This means that some form of sub-drainage must be resorted to, usually tile drains, of clay or concrete. Water frum whatever source must be gotten rid of effectively, for water plus clay or gumbo invariably equals mud when mixed In spring and summer. Water becomes ice in winter and as water in freezing expands one-eighth Its volume, the road heaves out of shape and when the Ice melts the road dis appears beneath the rising tide of mud constantly fed by rains, melting snows and underground springs. In seepv and boggy places the sub drainage In order lo be fully effcct 4 should lower the water evel to not less than three feet below the road surface, if tiles are used the . . . Smoke . . Model American The Best "Bit", Cigar on the Pa cific Coast Mad in Roseburg by o L. RABAT Sold by all Dealers thould be carefully laid, true to grade. Most failures in tile drainage can be attributed to carelessness in laying, or too lint grade. Tile less than 4 inches in diumeter should rarely be use, nor should n grade of less than 6 inches to the 100 feet be used unless absolutely necessary. In a very dense soil, il Is always ad visable to cover the tile to at least a depth of 6 to 12 inches with coarse crete tile is that they can be easily ways be taken to secure a tree out let for the drains and to protect the outlet with u coucrete bulkhead or catchbasin, which can always be kepi clean and the outlet free. The kind of tile to he used de pends on local conditions. Concrete tile if properly made are equally as good as clay tile. Which kind to use Is entirely a local question of dollars and cents. If concrete tile can be made more cheaply than clay tile can be hnd, use concrete; if not, use clay tile. One great advantage of the con crete tile Is that they can be easly made by the local users at or near the place where they are to be placed so that the freight charges are dis pensed with as well as the large breakage losses due to handling. Placed in the ground, both are dur able. If concrete Is used, great care should be taken to see that a good grade of Portland cement Is selected, and that the drains are proerly con structed. The impression, which pre vails to some extent, that tile disin tegrates is erroneous. A bulletin is now in course of pre paration by the United States Olilte of Public Honds telling how to make concrete drains. This, bulletin will treat the subject fully, explaining every point that may arise in making druin pipes and culverts. .J. HOLIDAY IX OREGON'. 4" 4 4 J. SALEM, Orv Sept. 1.

The ruling of the immigration of ficials on this interesting point came about when County Clerk Miller here took the declaration of intention to become citizens of two Hindoos, na tives of the Punjab, and forwarded the declarations to the department for a decision on the matter. David Son Jvehnr and Sam Wasson were the names of the Hindoos who want ed to become citizens of the United S ta t es. They reside at C ra w fo rd s- vtlle, and are probably the first Hin doos who ever applied for citizen ship papers in this country. Special assistant to the U.
