fiUira appearance of tha street is

, paved streets in our city. Contrast the
; condition of the property along these
streets with the condition before the
paving was put in. The change in al
most avery cane lias been little leas than
v wonderful. .Paving not only improves
" tha streets, but it builds up tha city.
The street paving of the city Is .in a
large measure responsible for the great
residence' improvement made in the city
In the past several years. There should
be no hesitancy on the part of the prop
' erty-owners in Joining the ranks of tha
' petftjoneps for the Improvement along
.their street. Ths cost of the improve-'
' ment,Jhf many times looked upon' as a
" burden and a hardship, but another view
' shows that it brings advantages and
- changes of value to the property, not
' Tf it pays to pave a street, it pays
" best to pave it wall.

the beginning than a cheaply con-
: structed pavement that won't last. The

policy. ' A first-class pavement on an
Imperishable foundation is the best in

a first-class street. A cheap pavement

to park driveways and country roads,
but it fs not a good pavement for rest-

repair. Besides, when the weather is
dry, it is dusty;, when the weather Is

of the surface has disappeared, and the
blocks have worn bottle-shaped or
worked out- of place, It becomes the
dirtiest, slipperiest, noisiest and most
unsanitary kind of pavement.1 And in
this condition, which takes place within
& few years after it is laid, the pave
ment 1h nn eyesore, a menace to the
horse, and a terror to those wha have
to Hv or do business on the street by
reason of the roar and clangor of traffic
passing on It. - . '
- In -wooden Week pavements th edges
of the rectangular blocks soon -wear off,
making practically a corduroy road, .and
after five or six years cease to be pave
ments. The wood block pavements of
London and Paris are laid on heavy
concrete foundations, often from 8 to
12 inches thick, and the blocks are made
as perfect as possible, thoroughly creo
soted and laid in hot tar or asphalt,
tightly compressed together. They are
laid to a very smooth surface,, and ..as
soon as the blocks show any signs of
Weakness they are replaced by others.
The 'first cost of this pavement is
great, and repairs are constantly re
quired at heavy expense. They are fre
quently sprinkled with gravel'.' to lejBen
allpperiness, and with water for cleans
ing purposes." The result is that the
pavement Is seldom or never dry, and air
ways slippery and dirty.. A creosoted
block pavement is-objectionable because
of ifts slipperiness and its sickening
odor,-and as it becomes older It becomes
noisier and roars. Wood blocks are, in
the first place, unsanitary, and in the
second place unequal to heavy traffic.
Where wood pavements have existed for
apfew years any one may, by removing
a&lock, find on the bottom a settlement
of putrid matter, the nests of disease
germs. As to wearing power, owing to
natural peculiarities in different towns,
no two blocks can be said to wear alike.

"Brick is a pavement that varies in
merit in varlAua parts of the country.
In some of the middle states small com
munities use it exclusively, and in many
of tha cities It Is preferred for side
streets or for streets where there Is no
teaming and no great amount of traffic.
Tha sections where brick is popular are
generally those where brick manufac
tories are numerous and where the brick
can be laid Cheaply. When, however.
It comes to the large cities, where street
traffio in hesvr. and whera concrete
foundations are Insisted upon, brick has
little or no standing as a pavement
against asphalt or granite. No two
burnings of brick are alike, and the
bricks vary in density and fiber; and no
"filler' or ""binder" has been discovered
that would keep out molstura and filth,
and prevent the edges from chipping.
Then there Is trouble in providing for
expansion; the sun's rays expand the
brick and push out the curbing, or lifts
the pavement from its bed; and this cre
ates an air chamber below the pavement
that causes an aggravating roaring,
similar to that caused by the passage
of a wagon over a bridge. .Even aa a
sidewalk brick has almost entirely given
way to cement. v
For the past 50 years experiments have
been made with coal tar as a paving ma
terial, but never with any success. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
spent In exploiting i tha theories of coal
-tar advocates and every possible form of
this kind of pavement has been tried,
with the invariable result of loss to' the
proporty-owners and the discrediting of
coal tar as a paving cement. Prof. Ira
Onborn Baker, In his book, "Roads and
Improvements," says:
."Broken stone with a tar., binder ha
been used for road purposesNn- a com
paratively small way In England for 20 or
30 years past; and the experienced Ham

process being very much the same as that
employed In laying hydraulic cement con
crete; or (2) the broken stone is laid and
rolled, and then a layer of tar is added
and rolled, the intention being to force
the tar into tha interstices of the broken
stone much as the stone dust binder is
worked into a broken stone road. The
product in .the first case could appropri
ately be called tar concrete, and in the
second tar macadam: substantially the
same as methods employed in making
asphalt macadam, -
"Obviously tar concrete and tar mac
adam are suitable only for comparatively
light traffic roads, and are more appro
priately compared with ordinary broken
stone roads than with asphalt pavements.
It Is hardly probable that tar macadam

however, that when such a pavement Is

sheet asphalt pavement (called. "sheet"
because of its surface).
Asphalt pavements in this country
have been in existence for less than 30
years In fact, since the telephone came
into use. There has been a constant
bettering of this kind of pavement, as
there has been a gradual improvement

the work of perfecting this form of pave
ment, with the result that every year
asphalt pavements are being improved
and made more durable and substantial.
Over 40,000.000 square yards of asphalt
have been laid in this country since the
first Trinidad lake pavements were laid
under government auspices In Washing
ton, D. U, in 1876, and in every city where
asphalt pavements have been laid there
is an Increased demand for them, t as
against pavements of other materials.
When properly laid and maintained,
asphalt outwears any other pavement.
Broadway in New oYrk, the heavy traf
fio of which .wore out two stone-block
pavements in 18 years, was in 1900-19fl
paved with asphalt: that Fifth avenue in
New York, which wore out as fine a gran
ite pavement as had ever been laid, has
been paved in asphalt; and that Broad
street in Philadelphia, Tremont street In
Boston, Michigan boulevard In Chicago,
Pennsylvania avenue In Washington, and
tho rnost important streets in Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Omaha, Kansas City, New Or
leans, Louisville, St, Louis, and in fact
every large city in the country, have this
form of pavement. These streets would
never have been paved with asphalt had
not asphalt been found to have the higher
wearing power. ' The wearing- power of
asphalt is very great In Itself, but it is
still further enhanced by the ease with
which repairs are made.
As asphalt pavement such as is laid In
America is practically an artificial sand
stone, the cementing property being
asphalt, it therefore presents a gritty sur
face for the horse, and it can therefore
up to a very steep grade of 10 per cent
rw a much greater load with less trou
ble than upon any other surface. The

PROHIBITION PARTY
TO HOLD CONVENTION
(Journal Special SerTlrc)
Chicago, 111., Dec, 16. Pursuant to
the call of Chairman Oliver W. Stewart,
the members of the Prohibition Na
tional ''committee went Into session at
the Auditorium hotel this' morning for
the "purpose of decldng'upon tha date
and place for holding the party's na
tional convention next year. The na
tional convention of the Prohibition
party always draws a large crowd and
as a consequence- the convention' is
sought by many cities. It is an open
fight this year with more than half a
dozen 'cities among the contestants.
Chicago, of course, la regarded as a
strong competitor, and St Louis is an
other city that is frequently mentioned
as a likely meeting place for the Prohi
bitionists. , There appears, however, to
be a strong sentiment among the com
mitteemen in favor Of holding tha con
vention in some smaller city, The sup
porters of this idea argue. that if the
Prohibitionists meet In the tame city as
either the Republicans or Democrat
they will be obliged to take second place
and win not receive as much attention
asithey would if the convention were
held elsewhere. There are a number of
smaller and well located cities bidding
for the convention and if the sentiment
against Chicago and St. Louis prevails
& fine field for the choice of a suitable
meeting place still remains, Among the
cities mentioned,' and all of which have
delegations on hand urging their claims-,
are Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit,
Kansas City and Minneapolis, Balti
more and Buffalo also are in the. race,
but some of the committeemen oppose
their claims on the ground that the se
lection of a city more centrally located
would be more to the interests of the
party.

attendance fa. the maoUqg.indiuKte-'ihat
the party intends 'to put up a strong
race in the next presidential campaign.

been more than counterbalanced by the
strong temperance sentiment lately. de

danger to horses upon asphalt is also
practically eliminated. A horse becomes
used to the surface over which ha travels
as easily as a marl. When once used to
an asphalt pavement, he travels over it
day. and night with the same Bare
ness of foothold as , a man docs
over a perfectly-laid cement sidewalk.
He is not obliged to feei his way. This
is an especial advantage of asphalt when
horses are highly checked and cannot see
the surface over which they are travel
ing. The minute that such a horse strikes
an asphalt pavement he becomes sure
that his footing is to be the same every
time ha puts one of his feet down, and
therefore travels more easily, with less
restraint and no fear.
- An asphalt pavement during its entire
life la less noisy than any other pavement
that can be laid. Tha only noise which
comes from it is the click of the horses'
shoes, and this in ordinary weather is
less sharp than on any other hard sur
face pavement- Even creosoted block,
when it becomes rough, as It ts bound to
do tn time, makes a pavement upon which
not only the sound of the striking shoe
Is heard, but in addition thereto the rattle
of the vehicles as they pass over- the
rough surface.
Healthful and BaautifuL
Asphalt is the most sanitary and
healthful pavement laid. , Look to the
many petitions of physicians to pave
with asphalt about hospitals, and the
evidence, jot tha late Colonel Waring,
which is in Itself sufficient to convince
any man of this advantage of asphalt.
It is Impervious to moisture, bacteria
and vermin. It presents a smooth, un
broken surface, to whioh nothing can

economically cleaned. When washed, ajl
disease germs are carried away oy the
sewdrs. A city can be thus entirely
freed from any danger of disease bred
from the putrid matter held in . tha in
terstices of the best jointed pavements.
Hi 'economy of cleaulng asphalt holds
the-advantage. It has a clean, unbroken
surface,, over which, power ' sweepers
may be sent and all the filth and dust
gathered up. It can be cleaned in the
daytime most .economically by the polic
ing system. " Under the system known
as "Whlt Wittgs," New Tork keeps Its
asphalt pavement so. that -one can. walk
across the street at any polit without
Incurring the least stain. This, tod,-at
a cost much less than that upon any
form of pointed pavement. In the aver
age city the. cost of sprinkling alone will
almost take care of the cleaning of the
asphalt as well as sprinkle the street
two or three times a day lightly, which
is all that la necessary. ' -
; In point of beauty It must be acknowl
edged that an asphalt pavement adds
more to the attractiveness' of a street
than any other pavement which is laid,
and that tit is an attractiveness which
continues, The color is pleasant to the
eye; and it is such as to set off best the
lawns and trees and houses with which
the street may bo lined. In a business
street asphalt adds to the architectural
beautyanil general esthetic -schema
mors than any other pavement. - As
phalt streets have, a direct influence
upon the people, Most mentake pride
in keeping their homes neat and trim
and having a lawn, but there are a great
many;, who are content to allow their
places rather to go backward than for
ward. It has been the actual experience
of a great many cities where asphalt
has been laid, that it has proved an in
centive to the general Improvement of
the homes along the streets. ...
As to the question of how steep a
gjrade asphalt" can" la laid -on.-Professor
Ir O. Baker, professor of civil engin
eering in the University of Illinois, says
that experience has shown that asphalt
'can be laid on a 6 or 6 per cent gradft,
ss has been demonstrated in New York
City, A number of cities have asphalt
pavements on a 7 per cent grade, among
them Peoria, 111.; Grand Rapids, Mich.;
Syracuse. N, Y.; Troy, N, Y.; Omaha,
Neb., and St. Joseph, Mo. In Scranton,
Pa., a short pavement is on a 13 per
cent grade; In San Francisco on a . 16
per cent grade; and la Pittsburg on a
17 per cent grade,
Guarantees.
Previous to the Introduction of as
phalt pavements, the question oft guar
antees did not demand much attention.
It was undoubtedly originally Intended
to indemnify the city from any loss on
account of poor material, poor workman
Ship, action of heavy traffic, or deterior
ation of material for any reason what
ever. At the present time it is known
about how long a good asphalt pave
ment will last, and it has been observed
whenever the asphalt pavement has
turned out badly that the defects were
all shown inside the first three years of
its life. A responsible contractor con
structs his pavements of the' same ma
terials, and with tha same care and
skill, whether guaranteed or not. The
five-year guarantee protects tha city
against the possibility of - error, and

j Asphalt Pavement In Portland.
The asphalt pavement on Morrison
street from 'Front to Chapman, was put
down over 10 years ago. This pavement
has been placed in good repair, the light
rails- of the City & Suburban railway
having been . replaced . with the heavy
grooved rails as ar out.aa West Park
streets and the change in tracks tha re
mainder of the distance will be made
during the coming year. :
. The asphalt pavements laid seven
years ago on Third and Main to GUsan
west as Sixteenth street, - have - been
placed in excellent condition1 since tha
City & Suburban and -Portland Railway
companies Tepldced their light rails with,
heavy grooved rails! .while from Six

have been laid, and a new asphalt pave-.
merit, having a concrete tounuation, with
vitrified brick gutters, making Washing
ton one Of the finest streets, as it is one
of the most used, in this city. "-The im
provement of this 'street is much appre
ciated by all, as among other reasons it.
is part of the route over which, tourists
invariably..traveL. ,
A little over" five years ago Alder
street was of comparatively little - im
portance, but about that time it was
paved with asphalt from Front to Sixth,
and this portion of the street at once
began to assume mor importance. This
year It was further paved to Lownsdale
street, and henceforth will be a promin
ent business street.
Seventh street, -from Taylor to Burn
side, has also been asphalted during the
year and in consequence bids fair to
rival Sixth as a business thoroughfare.
And so it Is everywhere; whether In
business or a residence. district; a
guaranteed asphalt , pavement la the
making of the street, and nothing elss
increases tha value of abutting property
so 'much. , ,
While well adapted to business streets
with a heavy traffic, asphalt is pecul
iarly suited to streets in-the residence
districts; and if the system, of parking
Streets that obtains in eastern : cities
were adopted here, the asphalted road
way might be narrowed so that the ex
pense would be materially decreased.
In eastern cities the. sidewalks vary
in width frotn 5 to 9 feet, averaging a
littlo over 7 feet; the lawns from 4 to 11,
averaging 7.2 .feet; and the roadway
from 20 to 50 feet, averaging 35. 5 feet;
and In streets without car tracks tha
lawns artv often wider, ranging from 7
to 1 feet' i
Comparison of Cost
The expense for grading, constructing
artificial Btono curbs and sidewalks and
concrete foundation will be the same, no
matter what pavement might be laid.
According to contracts recently
awarded by the city, the following
prices prevail:
Stone block pavement, exclusive of
foundation, $2.47 per square yard.
Vitrified brick pavcnent, exclusive of
foundation, f 1.7 5 per square yard.
Treated wood "block pavement, exclu
sive of foundation, $1.9Q pec square
yard. ,
Asphalt, m-lnch binder, , 2-Inch sur
face, exclusive of foundation, $1.69 per
square yard. -
Everything considered, asphalt Is not
only incomparably the best pavement
ever devised, but may be said to be the
only one that meets up-to-date demands
