er could not get the poison. If boun
ties are given for wolves and other
destructive animals why not provide
poison for the farmer so that he can
rid the country of a pest worse and
far more destructive than any other?
The farmer does not ask for a bounty
on these animals but for poison to ex
terminate them and he will , do the
rest. If this matter is brought to the
notice of the next ' legislature some
thing may be done about it.

There is strong talk of a Co-Opera

thing that will .fill a crying need.
Thousands of pounds of cream leaves
this town every year and the proceeds
are filling the pockets of firms in oth

cows m this section and the larmers
are perfectly capable of running a
creamery of their own and making
money for themselves. Get busy,

a creamery and a co-operative one.

Brick Roads Are Favored
Washington, Aug. 2. Continuing
its advice on road building, the United
States office of good roads discussed
brick as a building material.
Forty-four years ago the first brick
road in the United States was Con
structed in Charleston, W. Va.
"The experience of the forty-four
years," says the United States office
of good roads, "has demonstrated that
it is entirely practical to construct
satisfactory brick roads."
"These roads," says Uncle Sam's ex
perts, "now are giving general satis
faction, when properly constructed,
and it is probable that their mileage
will continue to increase rapidly.
Three Advantages
The principal advantages of the
brick road, according to the govern
ment road service, are:
1. Durability under practically all
traffic conditions.
2. Easy traction and good foot
hold.
3. Easily maintained and kopt
clean.
The only disadvantage attributed
to this type of road is the high initial
cost. This is largely offset, it is fig
ured, by the low maintenance and
general stamina of the road.
The best type of brick road, in the
opinion of the government road ex
perts, is a good brick laid on a sand
cushion, with a substantial concrete
foundation.
The most essential factor in the
building of a good brick road is the
selection of a suitable brick. Ihe
United States road men recommend
bricks made from shale and fire clays
of the "lean" varieties. The shales
are red, while the fire clays produce
a light-colored road. The brick chosen
should be hard, rough and uniform in
size.
Although a definite speculation as
to crushing strength is no necessary,
good paving brick should withstand
a pressure of from 15,000 to 20,000
pounds per square inch.
Concrete Foundation
For the brick road a concrete foun
dation is advisable, but where the
traffic is light, broken stone will often
suffice. Should stone be used, it
should be nut on in courses, the
largest stones at the bottom, and
should be from eight to ten inches
deep.
The more satisfactory concrete ba3e
may be a composition of one part
Portland cement, three parts sand
and five to seven parts broken stone
or gravel. This should then be cov
ered to a depth of two inches with a
clean sand, spread dry. On this sand
cushion the bricks are laid on edge
and at right angles to the line of the
road. Each alternate row should be
gin a half a 'brick in. Ramming and
rolling complete the road.
placed on a paying basis, as well as
new equipment and perfection of pres
ent properties. This is likely to in
volve the expenditure of $20,000,000.
I am on my way east to confer with
eastorn representatives of the reor
ganization committee, and on my re
turn I will (have a clearer idea of just
what is to be done.
"We are gratified in securing C. W.
Nibley as ona of our directors, as we
are in need of some prominent man in
this part of the country to consult in
develpment work in Utah, Nevada and
Idaho. His advice will be invaluable,
I feel assured. We have ordered a
thousand 'box cars from the Pullman
company for delivery, Aug. 15 to
Sept. 15."
President Levey expressed himself
as satisfied with the company's busi
ness during the past year particularly
within the past few months.'

Efforts to Reform Brings Reward.
Aberdeen. Wasflt, July 81. Driven
from the home of wealthy Baltimore
parents for his conduct, Jerome P.
Darlington wandered to Cosmopolis
and became a mill worker. Yesterday
he received a reward for his efforts to
make a man of himself. He received
word that ho was heir to $100,000. He
has given up his job and left for the
east to claim his fortune.
The last, year of the youth's life
reads like a motion picture melo
drama. He was a lover of the "white
way." When driven from home he
came west, taking a common laborer's
job at Cosmopolis. One day he wrote
a brief note to his father on a piece of
lumber, asking the party who received
it to communicate with his father,
and the eastern party who received
the lumber did so. In response to
this he received a letter from his
father forgiving him and telling Ihim
of his inheritance.
Young Darlington attributes his -reward
partly to the dry law. He says
he has not "touched a drop" since he
came to Cosmopolis and that he is go
ing home a different mam. and one of
whom his parents need not be
ashamed.
