ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor of the King Drag
Discovered His Method.
D. Ward King of Maltland. Mo., In
ventor of the King method of road
dragging, has a theory which practice
has demonstrated to be correct. It is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
bo dragged with a light drag after each
rain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
It leaves a roadbed as smooth and per
fect as a city street.
Tho discovery of this method and the
more Important discovery of Mr. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on a small but well improved
farm near Maltland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
Movement as a national or state issue,
but the four miles of rond from his
farm to Maltland were of great Interest
to him, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The road was of that soft, sticky
red clay that in wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels In great lumps and
dry weather Is as hard as a rpek and
almost as injurious to wagon tires.
Passing wagons In wet weather would
dig deep ruts, and when the road dried
up the ruts would remain. At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at a good price and
Mr. King had many bushels of It the
road would be so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
tho road finally became passable tho
market would bo low again.
Aftor many experiments he con
structed n small, light drag, using two
old timbers connected with light strips,
and began to drag the road In front of
his residence. After each rain he
would run tho drag ocr It. and when
tho sun came out and the road dried
up it was In perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many of his
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved
that King's method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
of lils farm. His neighbors took It up,
and In a few months the road from his
farm to Maltland was as good as any
In Missouri.
George B. Ellis, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, heard of Mr.
King's good roads methods and invited
htm to sneak at the farmers' Institute
in ills neighborhood. He accepted, and,
being an enthusiast on the subject, ne
mailo several converts. He was en
gaged for a series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri nud hundreds of con
verts have been made. After every
rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the roads In front of their farms,
nnd the number of these volunteer
rood workers is Increasing every week.
Odorless and Ductless Reads.
Consul T. II. Norton, writing to the
state department from Chemnitz, Ger
many, says that a Saxon firm has in
troduced a road binding composition
which has been tried on tho macadam
ized streets of Leipzig and other places
with much success. Tho material la
thus described:
It is a mixture of the heavier resid
ual oils obtained in the distillation of
coal tar with high boiling hydrocar
bons. Tho method of mixing apparent
ly Involves a certain degree of chem
ical combination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play a role. Tho
manufactured material is prepared for
use by heating In Iron caldrons, iden
tical with those used for asphalt, to
temperature- ranging from 212 to 24S
degrees F. (100 to 120 C). It Is then
sprayed evenly over the surface of n
roadway with a special form of ap
paratus and under such high pressure
that the fluid mass penetrates to a cer
tain distance Into the upper layer of
dust or dirt. The result Is the forma
tion of a compact limtrous black coat
ing which meets the demands of heavy
tralllc and Is not did ltojrr.ited Into
dust particles. A marked advantage of
tho new process ovci (he methods hith
erto employed for the same purpose
and based upon the use of oidlnary
tar Is the total absence of odor after
the application.
A Great Undertaking.
To promote tin building of Improved
roads In Colorado. Wyoming, Utah.
Montana, Idaho. New Mexico and Ari
zona and make accessible the wonder
ful natural scenery throughout the ter
ritory along tho eastern base of the
ltocky mountains the Rocky Mountain
Highway association has been Incor
porated at Deiner by Gerald Hughes,
Harold Kouutz and Charles A. John
son. Membership In the organization
is open to any 'ie Interested in the
good roads movement, and It Is report
ed that already a large number of
prominent Colorado citizens have sig
nified their intention of Joining. The
money for carrying out the plans of
the absoclatlou will be derived through
private subscriptions and through state
and municipal aid. It Is hoped that
through the efforts of this association
there will eventually be constructed a
chain of good roads joining all points
of Interest throughout this section.
Public Ownership of Roads.
The Idea of public ownership of the
highways seems to bo coming to the
front. It has been proposed that .the
city of Philadelphia purchase tho right
of way and tho property abutting the
proposed uew parkway loading from
tho central part of the city to Fair
mount park. Iu Milwaukee county,
Wis., tho board of supervisors is dis
cussing tho odvisablllty of acquiring
tho title to roads in various townships
to the number of twenty and Improv
ing and maintaining them by taxation.
E COLLEGE T
OW
Effective Improvement Methods
Adopted by Wellesley, Mass.
MANY STREET TREES PLANTED
Three Village Improvement Societies
Are Always Working to Beautify tho
Town Their Activities Quite Di
versified Patient, but Wide Awake.
Nature and man have Joined effort to
make Wellesley, Mass., one of the
most beautiful suburban towns iu the
United States. Abrupt hills, flowing
brooks, placid ponds and a charming
lake, with many a noble tree nnd a
wealth of the green things of earth,
are the contributions of nature which
man has molded and directed to make
of all a harmonious whole In which
the modern house of wood or tho vine
clad stone looks nt home.
It Is an important item in tho dally
concerns of the Wellesley Inhabitant,
this thought of the beauty of his
town. There Is no Intention on his
part to wake up some day and find
that unsightly buildings have replaced
tho elms nnd pines that now ndorn the
wide streets and cover tho hill sic pes
where pretty homes nestle. There is a
passion for the good things of nature
among the dwellers in tills college
town, and they let slip no opportunity
to got another chance at the open air
of heaven or to direct the energies of
those who would build a "real prac
tical store or office" where nature
has hitherto had her way unhampered.
There are three village Improvement
societies in Wellesley. with Its 0.18(5 In
habitants, of whom 1.000 aro college
students. These societies have not ex
pected to make tho town perfect all at
once along all linos or any lines. They
are patient, but always wide awake
and pushing some new Improvement,
says the Boston Herald. The latest
stop has been the campaign of the
Falls and Hills Village Improvement
society to secure the purchase of tho
Elm Park hotel property, so that the
square nt Wellesley Hills may be
made of a beauty that will accord
with the rest of the town.
The activities of these societies are
quite diversified. They have secured
tho adoption of an attractive street
Blgn, of which many have already been
set up. and have planted and secured
the pla nting of hundreds of street trees.
They provided free of charge plans
for a new telephone building at Wel
lesley Hills square. Many small im
provements have been secured by them
In tho lighting and care of railroad
stations and'grounds and the handling
of carriages at tho stations. They have
Issued a pamphlet on the planting and
care of trees. The tree warden of
Wellesley is a man of means, who does
the work for love of It These militant
societies preach In general and In par
ticular In the local paper. They have
started a system of removing ashes
and rubbish.
Wellesley's real estate and personal
property have a taxed value of $18,352,
080.22, which sum Includes exempted
property to the amount of $3,455,
140.22. of which the larger part is tho
college property.
Of the improvements in the town is
Hunnewell park, of eleven acres. On
the top of the hill In this park is the
beautiful stone building for town hall
and library. This park and the build
ing were tho gift of H. II. Hunnewell,
who also gave the books for the libra
ry and $21,000 for a library fund and
also a playground of eighteen acres.
This playground is over the stone
fence Just off Washington street, Wel
lesley's principal artery of commerce.
It Is laid out In ball fields, tennis courts
and gridirons, tho whole being a strik
ing example of good caretaklng.
Tho town itself has taken many
acres of land along Fuller brook, be
tween Wellesley Hills and Wellesley,
which In course of time will be devel
oped Into a parkway. This parkway
will extend from Wellesley nills
square to the Charles river, at tho
southwesterly part of the town, a dis
tance of three miles. It borders on the
Hunnewell playground and when com
pleted will be a very beautiful feature
of the town.
The four railroad stations in Welles
ley from the plans of the late II. F.
Uiehardson nre tastefully laid out and
planted with trees and shrubs. They
form n fitting introduction to tho vis
itor who is to see the greater beauties
beyond. Recently there has been co
operation between the railroad and
the town In tho leasing, through the
suggestion of the Village Improvement
society, to tho town by the road for a
long term of years of a piece of Its
unused land in tho vicinity of the
Wellesley station. This piece is being
developed by planting bushes and
shrubs of decorative value.
Tho three Wellesley Improvement so
cieties are distributed through the vil
lages of tho town. The Wellesley Vil
lage society Is at tho Wellesley end
In the village known as Wellesley, the
Hills and Fells society nt the Hills and
the eastern part of tho town and tho
Fells society nt the Fells In the south
westerly part of tho town. The Welles
ley club, organized "to consider and
discuss questions relating to the wel
fare of Wellesley," wns orgaulzed in
JSS0 and meets seven times during the
year at some hotel in Boston. It has a
membership of 110, with n long wait
ing list. At its meetings it usually
discusses some live question intlmntely
related to the municipal and social life
of tho town.
Berlin's Good Mov.
It Is announced that the Berlin po
lice are taking steps to prevent the de
facement of streets by electric signs.
