WOOD PAVING.
The first attempts to pave streets
with wood, three-quarters of a cen
tury ago, were failures, and for
years after that no satisfactory pro
gress was made. The blocks were
round, which left large, unequal
spaces between them. Their edges
broke down and wore off, the wood
rotted, and the pavement was soon
uneven and rough, and therefore dif
ficult to clean and Insanitary. At the
present time, through the selection
of suitable woods, cutting the blocks
into rectangular shape so that their
edges may lie close together, and
treating them chemically to increase
their durability, wood pavement Is
better In many respects than any
other in common use. It is smooth,
quiet, resilient, easily cleaned, and
easily repaired. In wearing qualities
It is superior to macadam, brick, or
asphalt, and inferior only to granite
and sandstone. In sanitary qualities
it exceeds all but asphalt. No road
surface is easier to draw a load upon,
or, as it is put in technical language,
none offers a lower "traction resist
ance," and none is easier to keep
clean. Creosoted wood pavement
stands above the average In smooth
ness, freedom from dust, mud, noise,
reflection of light, radiation of heat,
and ease of maintenance.
Tho first cost of creosoted wood Is
greater than that of macadam, brick,
or asphalt, but not so great as gran
ite or sandstone. On tho other hand,
It must be remembered, it exceeds
any of the first group in wearing
qualities. Too much weight Is some
times attached to the initial cost of
creosoted wood and too little to Its
counterbalancing durability, which Is
equally important in calculating In
vestment returns. It costs from
$2.40 to $3.50 per square yard, laid
as compared with an average of
$3.50 for sandstone, $3.26 for gran
ite, $2.30 for asphalt, $2.0G for
brick, and $0.99 for macadam, in a
number of cities in which a study has
been made.
Cedar has been extensively laid
in tho Middle West, and oak, cypress,
white pine, homlock, western red
cedar, cottonwood, mesqulte, Osage
orange, redwood, Douglas fir, and
tamarrack In various cities of the
country. Untreated American red
gum, tried in England, raised great
hopes, but It 'finally proved unsatis
factory. Pavement of Australian eu
calyptus has lasted for from fifteen
to twenty years In tho streets of Lon
don. It is more slippery, however,
than American woods, and its cost,
about $5 per square yard in tho Unit
ed States, Is prohibitive.
In recent years the difficulties
which attended the use of wood pave
mont havo been largely overcomo by
better methods of handling, treating,
and laying tho blocks. Creosote is
tho best of tho preservatives in com
mon use for wood pavement. Since
It is Insoluble in water, it does not
leach out, nnd if a sufficient amount
is injected into tho blocks It prevents
tho entranco of water, which weak
ens tho pavement.
Tho blocks should bo rectangular
In shape. For hoavy traffic thoir
dopth should bo not less than 4
inches. Tho usual width Is
3 or 4 Inches, and tho best length
from 0 to 10 inches. They should bo
laid with tho grain vertical, on n
coneroto foundation having u thin
surface cushion of sand or other ma
terial. Tho Forest Sorvtco has recently Is
sued n publication, Circular 141,
which deals with wood paving In tho
United States. This publication can

Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

The Coming Topic.
We might as well begin right now
And memorize again
The list of Presidential votes
In Arkansas and Maine,
And learn to trip them glibly In
Our everyday debates,
For that's the coming topic
In our United States.
Wo might as well get at it,
As we've often done before,
And learn If Indiana has
Eighteen or twenty-four,
For that's the great essential
That immediately awaits
The art of conversation
In our United States.
If Bryan lost New England,
New York, and Idaho,
What- others would he have to get?
Is what we've got to know,
For that's the sort of thing to which
All talking gravitates
With proper provocation
In our own United States.
The fellows who a,re posted
Are the men that win cigars
And drink their booze for nothing
At the few regaining bars,
For they've memorized the figures,
And they're loaded for debates
In a Presidential season
In our own United States.
Post Dispatch.
It Is usually the bald-headed duffer
who makes the most fun of a girl's
red hair.
When a Coos Bay man can see
through a shirtwaist, he doesn't know
what it is ho sees.
It doesn't pay to keep as friends
those who love you for themselves a
loan. '
Why do we say, "He follows the
sea for a livelihood?" Doesn't the
sea stand still? '
The charge of the light brigade at
Balakalava was nothing compared to
tho charge of tho light brigade at
Coos Bay. I know for I paid tho bill.
A Coos Bay man says he would not
mind wearing mourning if he could
choose the subjects for which the
crape might be worn.
The usual topic was being discuss
ed in Geo Goodrum's store. The
usual topic of course is "girls."
There were two representatives of the
topic present. "Pacific coast girls,"
remarked one of the fair callers, "are
taller than Southern girls. "Yes,"
replied George, "and," he added, as
If In compliment, "they are heavier
also," and then ho wondered why
they laughed and they wondered how
George was so expert on the weight
of girls.

HOTEL NEAR

B
Single Guest at Captain Bos
well's Place Escapes With
out Wardrobe.
DRAIN, Oregon, June 18. Fire
tally destroyed the hotel at Boswell
Springs, two miles south of here, to
gether with all of its contents. While
tho origin of tho fire is not definitely
known, it is reported that it was
caused by the upsetting of a lamp.
This famous health resort, which
was owned and oporated by the late
Capt. Ben D. Boswell, for about
twenty years previous to and up to
the time of his death, which occurred
a year ago last May, and since that
time by his widow, was originally
known as Snowdon Springs, a name
derived from the first settler on tho
premises. It Is quite unlikely that
Mrs. Boswell will try to rebuild. The
property loss, all things considered,
Is probably not less than $15,000.
There was only one guest in the hotel
when the fire occurred, a lady, and
she lost her entire wardrobe.
MANGOES FISHING;
NEVER COMES BACK.
Young Married Mnn of Roscburg Dis
appears Prom His Homo Under
Peculiar Circumstances.
ROSEBURG, Ore., June 18. Tak
ing along a rod and line and saying
he was going fishing, Charles Troub,
aged 21, married and the father of
two children, left the home of rela
tives, one mile south of this city, last
Sunday morning about 9:30 o'clock,
and has not been seen since. The
rod and line were found yesterday
morning on the bank of the river,
one mile below the house, and it was
at first presumed that in some man
ner Troub had been drowned. The
river, which Is very low at this time
of the year, was searched and drag
ged, but no body was brought to
light. It Is now believed that Troub
simply left the neighborhood, which
belief Is supported by the fact that
he ran away from his former home
in Ohio shortly before coming West
throe months ago. So far as known
he had no family troubles or any dif
ficulties that might have Induced him
to destroy himself.
