OREGON CITY COURIERFRIDAY JAN, 24 1913. 6 A SUCCESSFUL CONCRETE ROAD Transformation of Old Highway by lowans. . ONE OF THE BEST IN STATE. The "Grade Road," One a Two Mile Terror to Farmers, It Now PoinUd Out With Prids Used Automobile Tax Money. Probably one of the very worst pieces of road In Iowa existed for years la lienton county, just across the Cedar river north of Vinton. It was known as the "grade road" and Is well known, especially to every automobile tourist who was unfortunate enough to be forced to travel It The grade road proper Is about two miles In length, leading directly from the north end of the Cedar river bridge. It traverses very low land, which over flows In time of high water and pre sents a number of difficulties which un der the old system baffled the roadmak ers. This grade is built up like a rail road grade, and the height varies from probably ten to twenty feet During freshets the river would cover the en tire country, In some places running over the road, and the consequence was that when the waters receded the grade was honeycombed with washouts. Va rious ways were tried to resist the water, such as using crushed stone, dirt, etc., but every year found the sur face of the road a little worse than the year before and so full of "chuck" holes that a real old corduroy road was a boulevard In comparison. It was al most Impossible to get over It with a load, much less an automobile. As the ordinary road tax In this township was entirely too small to properly take care of even this one piece of road, the building' of a per manent highway was a difficult mat ter. Ilowevor, early last spring the Vinton Ad. club took the matter up, and what was the worst piece of road In Iowa Is now the best and enjoys the distinction of being the first con crete county road to be built In Iowa. A committee was appointed by the Ad. BEOTION 07 COMPLETED OONOHETB BOA.D AT VINTON, IA. club to go before the supervisors and urge prompt action. It was found that with Beutou county's share of the new state automobile tax coming In, sev eral thousand dollars wero available. The farmers served by this villainous road were then approached and to gether wllh business Interests of Vin ton contributed $2,800 toward the cost of making a start toward two miles of permanent coucrele road. The work whs let to a responsible contractor at $1.03 per square yard, and the finished road Is a Joy to look upon and better still to travel over. It is expected at an early date to com plete the entire two miles and perhaps more. The road constructed this year amounts to 2,(IOO lineal feet. The road way Is sixteen feet wide, with center eight inches thick, grading down to six Inches thick at the edges, which gives It sutliclimt crown for drainage purposes. Tho curb Is twelve Inches and Is Inverted, extending Into the ground, which will greatly aid In the resistance to tho high water. The entire cost of this paving was approximately $5,032. of which Vinton business men and farmers directly In terested contributed $2,S0O, and the county paid $2,200 out of the automo bile tax. This does not lucludu the grading on each side of tho cement roadway, which wus let to a local man and cost $r()0. It ts well worth the price and no doubt next year will see the work of this year extended at least as much more. Value of Good Roads. Three years ago the farmers of Spott sylvnnla county.

T Editor of Uu New For State Grangt ItivUv NEW YORK FARMS There Are 215,600 In the State, HaVing 22,000,000 Acres. Field For Grange Endeavor I Found on These 215,000 Farm On 22 Per Cent of Our 9,000,000 Live on Farms or In Villages or Small Citiea. The New York state department of agriculture bulletin 88 on "The Agri cultural Advantages of New York" car rles a vast amount of profitable Infor mation and seeks to correct many mis leading statements concerning the ag ricultural conditions of our state that ki lippn circulated from time to time. The vast western agricultural enterprises have drawn many easter: people as well as the Immigrant that comes to our shores out to the western prairies. Many have found It proflta ble to go there, and many of them have come back. Had there been systematic publicizing of the advan tages of New York years ago much of Hila wpstwnrd movement would not have passed out of the western borders of the Empire State. As some one has said, New York state will soon become a great market garden, so near is It to the greatest market of tho country-New lor, city -and within Its borders are so many other large cities. While there are over 0,000,000 people in the state, we learn that only 22 per cent live on rarms, In villages and cities with a population of less than 25,000; 78 per cent live In cities of 25,000 and over, while 52 per cent reside In Greater New York, There are approximately 215,600 farms In the state, and, as the average farm contains about 100 acres, there are nan.nnn acres of land In farms. The great problem before the New York farmer la to figure o it how the 22 per cent shall feed not only themselves, but the 78 per cent The statement that New York Is soon to be one great market garden Is emphasized by the fact that one-third of the entire pop ulation of the United States is within one night's shipment by express and thirty-six hours by freight of the rarms of the stato. The man who locates farm near a market and tills it with Industry has no need to fear the fu ture. We hear not a little about the de serted farms of the state, and there are some, no doubt, but there are not so large a number as many think there are. There are possibly many unoccu Died which are cultivated by a neigh boring farmer, but that the soil has lost Its usefulness on these farms even Is very far from the fuct. The exist ence of these cheap Now York farms has been tnken as proof that they have been abandoned because some of the land Is no longer cultivated, but these farms are not so much worn out as are the methods of farming. These unoc cupied farms have fertile acres and constitute a reserve asset of much un told wealth. When the growth of pop ulation and the movement from city to country shall have made It neces sary thnt these acres again be tilled we shall find that they will contribute their full share of products to the do mands that will bo made upon them, They have lacked education nnd social advantages upon these farms, modern machlnory has scarce been seen on them, modern farm methods have" not been practiced, and tho result bus been what might have been expected their occupants have moved away to the village, larger town or great city, nut the tldo Is turning, and these farms will again be occupied. Since the year 1005 tho department of agriculture has listed farms for sale, describing them In detail and giving tho name of owner, price, etc., and as a result over $8,000, 000 has been expended in the purchase of farms listed In these bulletins and prices have ranged from $5 to $25 per acre, and not In n Rlngln Instance has a huyor failed to sociiro a satisfactory reward from proper cultivation. Great as Is the production of all farm crops In this state, It will be still greater In the future. It must bo! Productive farms must be made more productive; extensive farming must give way to Intensive farming; every rod of farm land that Is tillable mimt be made to render Its proportion of product for the Biistentntlon of the Increasing number of consumers. J. W. DAHROW. Grangers aa Candidate. A glance over the list of candidates In various states showed quite a sprln kllng of prominent grangers In the three great parties. They were chosen not bocauso they were grangers, hut be cause they were men who bear the stamp of approval among those who know them. The grange has been the one organization that has lived nnd prospered and has always kept Itself free from partisan politics, leaving each of Its members his own free opinion on such matters.

An Ohio grange, whose members were Just becoming Interested In the silo, had an export come and help sev en of the members build a silo for one of them Then these seven alone built the other six silos, dividing the cost of the expert betweeu them.

Little Grand Duke Subject of Rumor. Romance and Plot K S the royal subject of gossip, ru mor and plots the little Grand Duke Alexis of Russia figures as the boy of mystery and ro mance. Principally the mystery re lates to the physical and mental con dition of the little fellow, who Is now eight years old. If the czarevitch Is a hopeless crip ple with tuberculosis of the hip, which Is generally believed, he can never take the throne on the death of his father, the czar. Recently a highly romantic story as to the royal boy was published all over the world and was quickly de nied. According to the repudiated re port, the czur sent to Berlin and sum moned Dr. Janes Israel, one of the greatest surgeons In the world, to per form an' operation on the boy s blp. Before he would come, It was report ed, the famous surgeon demanded a foe of $25,000 and a royal dispensa tion for the Jewish race. The dispen sation was to be that of placing the Jews of Kiev and Odessa, who bad been long persecuted, on an equal, free and unmolested footing with the Christians. The report stated that the THB CZABKTITOB. czar quickly agreed to both the de mands of the physician, and the oper ation was successfully performed. Dr. Israel himself Is credited with denying the romantic story, declaring be did not perform any such opera tion. Previous to the report of the opera tion a rumor gained wide credence thnt the little czarevitch had been stabbed frightfully by an assassin on board his father's yacht, the Standart This Inter was denied. Now a new heir presumptive to the throne Is being discussed. High society. In Russia ts accustom ing Itself to the idea of accepting Grand Duke Dmitri Paulovltch, twen ty-six years old, a nephew of the pres ent czar, as heir presumptive to the throne. De has not heretofore been generally mentioned as possible suc- essor to the crown, and bis name comes us a complete surprise to every one except those who by reason of their position either belong to the court lrcle or have close relations with it v No Cripple May Be Czar. i'he physical disability of tho little zurevitcb Is now recognized as com plete uiuong all the Intelligent classes f the empire. The dangers and dis advantages of having a crippled sover- Ign lire understood In all states, but crippled autocrat of all the Russlas, with its g at. empires and peculiar problems. Is unthinkable. It Is now nown that the czarevitch has tuber- ulosls of the blp Joint as well as hemophilia, the hereditary dlsense to which a considerable number of princes have been subject and which Is characterized by excessive bleeding from the slightest wound. The czare- Itch is doomed to lifelong Invalidism. The path to the throne has been leared for Grand Duke Dmitri by a remarkable sequence of family occur rences. The names of the Grand Duke Michael and Grand Duke Cyril are those which have been most mentioned In connection with the succession since the news of the young czarevitch's 'oudltlou began to filter out from the palace to the public. Yet all the time the court circle has recognized that, barring the unforeseen. Grand Duke Dmitri will be officially recogulzed as heir presumptive. Grand Duke Dmitri Is the only son of Grand Duke Paul, the youngest brother of the lute Emperor Alexuuder III. Grand Duke Michael, the czar's lily brother, would naturally be heir presumptive now, ns be was during tue time preceding the birth of the czar evitch and when the czar was having succession of daughters, were It not for one of those family occurrences mentioned which are so fortunate for Dmitri. The fact is that Michael has before announced and now repeats that e tins married under the prescribed forms of the orthodox church Mine.

In the County Court of tho State A WOMAN'S GOOD LOOKS Depend on her general health and freedom from pain. Many a woman looks old before her time because of those irregularities which are essentially feminine. Starting from early womanhood, she suffers from frequently recurring derangements that upset her womanly health. If she be beautiful she grows into that mellow age without wrinkles and crowfeet about the eyes or the blue circles underneath. It is invariably the rule that such women suffer little, or not at all, from womanly derangements which sap the health and leave in the face the tell-tale story of pain and suffering. Dr.R.V. Pierce.the famous specialist in the diseases of women, found a prescription in his early practice that soothed the organism peculiar to woman hoodoiled the machinery, as it were, of the human system and helped the woman to pass those painful periods that scar-lined and aged her face.
