CONTRACT IS AWARDED
EOR ERECTION Of LARGE
HITCHING SHEDS HERE
Messrs'. V. L. Cobb and W. S.
Hamilton, owners of tbe vucant prop
erty at Washington and Main streets,
let a contract toduy to B. S. NIcholB
for the erection of a corrugated Iron
and concrete structure, costing $.
000, which is to supply the long de
sired need among the farmers for
hitching sheds while doing trading in
town.
The proposition had been contem
plated by the owners for some time,
who were anxious to satisfy the de
mand for hitching quarters. A few
days ago, John C. Signor, a recent
arrival here from Wisconsin, was se
cured to take the lease of the build
ing, for $600 a year. The sheds will
be under hla control, and It Is under
stood he will make the moderate
, charge of 10 cents for keeping one
horse or 15 cents for a team In these
shed.
The sheds will encompass the en
tire lot, giving about tino lineal feet
of stall room. They will be built of
corrugated iron, which was ordered
this afternoon. On the corner is to
he a concrete building of the latest
type, which will be used for office
and store rooms. There will be l.ro
separate stalls and all will be large
and fully equipped. Work on the
building will start right away, most
of the materials having already been
ordered, and the moving of dirt will
'commenco Monday.

With Just 43 of the 88 road super
visors of Lane County answering to
the roll call, the annual county
road supervisors' convention was
opened at 10 o'clock this morning
with a word of welcome- by Judge
Helmus W. Thompson, In which he
commented on the importance of
road work and the significance of
the work to future generations, says
the Kugene duard. j
The keynote of the convention is
"Drainage." In the words of Dr. II.
II. Leonard, the principal apaker of
the morning, the three most import
ant things In the building and main
tenance of roads are, first, drainage;
second, better drainage, and third,
the best possible drainage. It
seemed to be the unanimous oplujun
of authorities that proper drainage
had more to do with good roads than
quality or quantity of materials uwtl,
which point was exemplified by the
reports of tbe experiences of practi
cal road workers present.
Immediately following the roll call.
Dr. Leonard, who is connected with
the engineering department of the
riilverslty of Oregon, was Introduced t
and gave an extended talk on "Hoad'
Construction and Maintenance.' Al
ter calling the attention of his listen
ers to tbe importance of their work,
both to the present and future good
of the county, he outlined what he
considered to be the best way to ac
complish the work they were asked
to do. He said tbat the reason the
countries of Kurnpe have superior
roads is that those who do the actual
work on the roads take pride In their
work and are loyal to the plans of
those who have tbe direction of tbe
work. They do as they are inatructtMl
to do even if they think they know
a better way. When Americans come
to a realization of the great respon
sibility which rests on the builders
of roads they will become adequate
to the work and will follow the plans
of great road builders of experium e,
and the result will be b.'tter roads.
He said that today is tbe day for
agitation for good roads and It is up
to the HUperviaors to meet the de
mand which says we inn.st have gone
roads.
rrfiiclplfM Are. Simple.
"The general prfncipli-s of load
building are simple but Hie applica
tion, of those principles is the dirri
cult thing," said Dr. Leonard.
"There can be no hard and fast rule
for the application of these prim-ipics
to tbe particular piece of road you
happen to be dealing with. It 1h for
you to note what has b en dune in
the past under similar conditions and
I apply t he experience of others to
your roads. In the making of roads
ithe persona! equation of the nian in
'charge is the most imj-oi tant fac'or.
' You must study and lenrn these prin
ciples until they he-oine as serotid

ter of the present condition of the
road must be judged by the perpetual
cost rather than the first cost. Care
ful maintenance Is the most Import
ant thing. How to do this no one
can tell. Kvery different piece of
road may require a different treat
ment and of that you must be the
judge. A certain amount of work
must be done at all seasons. What
to do and when Is up to you. One
thing must be done. The roads
must be watched and repairs made
when the need first occurs and not
later. Water must not be left in th
wheel tracks. There aro different
methods of preventing this. If It la

the rebels under General Francisco
Villa possess to carry on their revolu

from rich families and valued at
many millions.
The cash represents part of the
wealth obulned within six months
under the direction of Ueneral Villa.
It was accumulated from forced loans

from taxation and Import dutlea.

possible to estimate the actual wealth
of the revolution, but If money was
realised on all the property now In
their possession, the proceeds would
be sufficient to run a government In
