MAKE GOOD ROADS
A unique experiment In road build
ing has proved a success, and it Is
highly probable that Hood Klver
county w ill not build more expensive
macadam highway, says the Jour
nal.
Thomas Lacey, road supervisor,
who has been a number of years In
the employ of railroad companies In
road construction. Is the county
road supervisor In the Odell district
where the experiment has been made.
This section of the Hood Klver valley
abounds In clay, which. If taken In
wet weather anil spread on the roads,
will after a little travel become hard
ened. Mr. Lacey has placed a clay
covering of gravel and the mixture
becomes as hard as cement and the
surface more perct than macadam.
This kind of a road can be built In
Hood Klver county for about one
fourth the cost of macadam.
Mr. Lacey has also Introduced a
new method of planking bridges. In
stead of laying' the plank crosswaya
of the bridge they are laid length
wise, which Insures smoother travel
and less jar. When It becomes nec
essary to replauk only the planks In
the center of the bridge need replac
ing, thus saving over half the cost
usually Incurred In replanklng.

Look at your wagon wheels and see if the tires do
not need tightening. Loose tires will cause loose
spokes and otherwise damages the wheels.
Better have this work done before you use the
wagon to haul your crop of berries.
Bring your wagon to us and let us put it in good
